==Blurb==

Ash's second battle takes place on the Rock Field where he relies on his Squirtle to hopefully take down a Nidorino. In between matches, Ash needs to drop off his Pokémon at the Pokémon Center to have them taken care of. Team Rocket takes this opportunity to make one more attempt at stealing Pikachu. They set up a Pokémon Center of their own and when Ash drops off his Pokeballs, they grab them and run! When he finally gets his Pokémon back, Ash must race to make it to his third match of competition, which will be held on the Ice Field.

==Plot==
[[File:Ash Squirtle Nidorino.png|thumb|220px|left|Squirtle defeating Nidorino]]
As {{Ash}} wins his second preliminary {{pkmn|battle}} on the Rock Field with {{AP|Squirtle}}, it is revealed that {{Gary}} was watching Ash's battle with [[Gary's cheerleaders|his cheerleaders]]. He scoffs at Ash's confidence for winning what he calls two easy matches. Gary walks off while his entourage cheers Ash's name, seemingly jealous and a bit spiteful toward Ash.

{{an|Misty}} later arrives at the group's accommodation, only to notice Ash's absence while {{an|Brock}} takes care of Ash's Pokémon. She criticizes his selfishness, and the two soon reunite with Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who are in midst of searching for a place to eat. Ash soon locates an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant, where he and Misty indulge. During the meal, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} attempts to pull a tablecloth containing dangerous cutlery as Pikachu attempts to save it from being hurt but Togepi gets out of the way in time leaving Pikachu hit with the spoons, knives and forks, though Misty only sees Pikachu performing a seemingly dangerous stunt. She warns her Pokémon not to follow suit and goes on to criticize Ash's training methods.

Afterwards, Ash and {{ashfr}} search for a [[Pokémon Center]] so Ash can heal his Pokémon before the third round, but they find the Centers are all crowded. Noticing this, {{TRT}} decides to use this opportunity to swipe {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} by opening a fake Pokémon Center. [[James]], disguised in a nurse outfit with a face-mask, lures them into the auspicious building, where Ash submits his Pokémon for healing. However, Brock becomes suspicious when he isn't attracted to the Center's Nurse Joy, who is actually [[Jessie]].

While Ash and his friends are talking, they keep saying the word "trouble," which eventually triggers Team Rocket to recite their {{motto}} and reveal themselves. As a result, Team Rocket is forced to destroy the fake Center and flee in their balloon. [[Brock's Onix]] stops them and retrieves Ash's Pokémon. After biting a hole into their balloon, Onix sends Team Rocket blasting off again. Afterwards, the group hears that new Pokémon can now be admitted into the Pokémon Center. Ash takes this opportunity to heal his Pokémon.

Later on, Ash is now in the middle of the third round match with [[Pete Pebbleman]] of [[Pewter City]] on the Ice Field, and both Trainers are each down one Pokémon. Ash uses {{AP|Kingler}} for the battle, while Pete uses {{p|Cloyster}} for the battle. Pete orders Cloyster to {{m|Withdraw}} into its spiked shell, helping it defend itself from Kingler's barrage of {{m|Crabhammer}}s. While Ash fears that Kingler will be exhausted, Misty and Brock encourage him to keep going, since Cloyster is still losing health despite the defense boost. Kingler keeps hitting Cloyster with its Crabhammer until Cloyster's shell finally cracks, [[fainting|knocking it out]].

Pete recalls Cloyster and sends out {{p|Arcanine}}. Kingler tries a {{m|Bubble}} attack, but Pete's Arcanine dodges it and uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Kingler is caught in the icy twister, but with Ash's plea, it manages to stand up. Ash still recalls Kingler and sends {{AP|Pikachu}} onto the battlefield. Hoping to confuse his opponent, Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Agility}} and it narrowly evades Arcanine's {{m|Fire Blast}} attacks. Pete soon reveals his strategy: the Fire Blast attacks were meant to melt the field. The technique takes Ash by surprise, but with Brock's suggestion, Ash has Pikachu dive into the water. Misty reminds him that water conducts electricity, so Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, thus defeating Arcanine. With this, Ash claims the victory over Pete and advances to the fourth round.

==Major events==

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]: [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] tournament format
** Pokémon senryū summary: On the field, choosing the Pokémon, is difficult.
* {{Ash}}'s challenger on the Rock Field is left unnamed in both the Japanese version and English [[dub]].
* {{an|Brock}}'s ability to identify fake [[Nurse Joy]]s is first seen in this episode.
* During the parade scene, [[Type: Wild]] is used as an insert song.
* As Ash is looking for a place to eat, he passes a movie theater with a poster for ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}'', the movie of which he helped produce.
* This is one of the very few times in the {{pkmn|animated series}} that {{TRT}} refers to Ash by his first name instead of "[[twerp]]" or "brat".
* After [[James]] suggests to [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} that he has a plan to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}, Team Rocket [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by saying "So let's all get to work and get on with the show!"
* This episode's title is formatted as ''Fire And Ice'' on the DVD menu of [[List of English language Adventures in the Orange Islands home video releases (Region 4)|Australian DVDs]].

===Errors===
* Pokémon.com's blurb for this episode misspells Poké Balls as ''Pokeballs'', lacking the accent over the "e" and formatted as one word.
* On the posters in the village, the é in Pokémon lacks its accent.
* While Team Rocket is reciting their {{motto}}, the white piece of paper behind them covering part of the "R" is missing the blue design and text.
* {{an|Misty}} says that Brock and Ash need to get all of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} back, but only Ash's Pikachu was stolen.
* The scoreboard prior to Ash's battle on the Ice Field erroneously swaps Ash and [[Pete Pebbleman]] so that Ash is the red trainer and Pete is the green trainer when it should be the reverse.
* When Brock tells Misty that Ash was "starving", his shirt collar is discolored, making it look like his head is disconnected to the rest of his body.
* Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} should not have work against {{p|Arcanine}}, as ice does not conduct electricity. This is an example of [[animation physics]].
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} dub, when Misty refers to [[HP|Hit Points]], her words are mistranslated as Attack Points (Pontos de Ataque).
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, {{so|Viridian City}} is absent during the parade.

EP076 error.png|Brock's miscolored shirt
File:EP076 error 2.png|The scoreboard error
</gallery>

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: [[2.B.A. Master]]
* North American DVD releases and [[Pokémon TV]] cut roughly 13 seconds from this episode. Immediately after Ash and Pikachu pass by the movie theater showing ''Pokémon in Love'', there are several shots showing Pokémon-related merchandise, including Clefairy figures, Gengar cotton candy, and Cubone bobbleheads. Pikachu taps the head on one of the bobbleheads, causing it to bob and say its name. Ash and Pikachu laugh and move on. This segment is still present in the broadcast and streaming versions, as well as Australian DVDs.
* Originally, the [[Pokémon Center]] was unable to accept patients due to a big accident instead of due to being full.
* Ash's "collection plate" joke is dub-only; in the original version, he just says he doesn't have any money.
* Ash asks Pikachu if he's practicing to be in the circus while spinning a plate but in the original version, he warns him the people in the restaurant will get angry.
* In the original version, when Brock notices he's not falling in love with the "Nurse Joy" (Jessie in disguise) at Team Rocket's fake Pokémon Center, he comments that usually when he sees a Nurse Joy, his blood pressure rises and his heart races and his face blushes, to which Misty dryly comments that he's strangely calm. In the dub, Brock describing his symptoms is changed to saying that he's dizzy and acts crazy and starts talking in a "really goofy way", prompting Misty to dryly remark that Ash acts that way all the time.
* In the original version, Ash and Misty trigger Team Rocket to recite their motto and blow their cover when they keep asking Brock why he suspects something's wrong with the fake Pokémon Center's Nurse Joy, as Jessie's first line in the Japanese motto is "If you ask us this or that..." The dub changes this so Ash and Misty suggest to Brock that the ''trouble'' is he wasn't ''prepared'' to see all the Nurse Joys he gushed over earlier, since Jessie's first line in the dub motto is "Prepare for trouble."
* After Brock reveals to Ash he correctly deduced the "Nurse Joy" was actually an impostor, in the original version, Misty yells at the two that they have to save Pikachu. In the dub, this is changed to Misty shouting that Ash and Brock have to get all their Pokémon back.
* In the original version, Team Rocket references getting expensive makeup from [[Hollywood]] (I.e. Jessie's Nurse Joy mask) and having to patch together their older balloons to save money; in the dub, they talk about taking a vacation and leaving with Pikachu as a souvenir.
* The movie posters Ash passes by were originally for ''Pokémon the Movie''.
* During the parade scene, Viridian City replaces Type: Wild as an insert song.
* Misty mentions [[HP|Hit Points]] in the dub, the only time it is referenced in the animated series. She just talks about "taking damage" in the original version, however.
* The "take a dive" misunderstanding was originally referring to a Japanese proverb equivalent to "fortune favors the bold", but with the Japanese word for float (浮かぶ).

'''Weezing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マタドガス''' ''Matadogas'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Koffing}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Weezing has a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Fairy}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Koffing starting at level 35. All Koffing in Galar evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Weezing is a purple {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} consisting of two spherical heads connected by a thin tube with another sphere in the center. The heads have different sizes and features. The left head is larger and has prominent eyebrows, pointed teeth protruding from its lower jaw, and two flat teeth in its upper jaw. The smaller, right head simply has two pointed teeth, one at each corner of its mouth. The larger head has a cream-colored skull-and-crossbones marking below its face, while the smaller head has a ring marking instead. It is covered with many geyser-like protrusions, which usually expel mustard-colored gases. Weezing is said to form when poisonous gases pool and two {{p|Koffing}} fuse over many years. Very rarely, two Koffing can become a Weezing in a short time span because of a sudden mutation. Triplet Weezing have been discovered, although they are extremely rare.

Each of Weezing's heads contains a different toxin. It mixes its gases by inflating one head and deflating the other. When its gases mix, Weezing becomes more toxic and putrid. Weezing can hover in midair, presumably due to gases lighter than air, as is the case for Koffing. Despite their stench and poison, Weezing's gases can be used to make top-grade perfume by diluting them to the highest level.

Weezing lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}. It seeks a dirty, unkempt house and nests there. At night, when the people in the house are asleep, it will go through the trash. Weezing feeds on the dust, microorganisms, and especially gases emitted by garbage and toxic waste. Weezing's body expands and smells worse upon inhaling poisonous gases. The Kantonian Weezing used to be common in [[Galar]] and created more potent toxins than their Galarian relatives.

Weezing and its pre-evolved form are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Neutralizing Gas}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
[[File:Galarian Weezing absorbing pollutant.png|thumb|left|250px|Galarian Weezing absorbing pollutants from a factory and expelling clean air]]

Weezing has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Galarian}} Weezing.

In the [[Galar]] [[region]], its appearance has changed due to absorbing polluted air from factories. It has a gray body with the skull, crossbones, and ring patterns changed to the color yellow. Both heads have a hat-like tube located on top of them that constantly releases purified air. Five puffs of green poison gas clouds can be seen floating around it. The gas clouds also partly cover its faces: the larger head has a mustache-like cloud on its upper lip, while the smaller head has clouds on its face in the shape of eyebrows and a beard.

Galarian Weezing consumes particles from polluted air and expels clean air instead of droppings. The toxins within Galarian Weezing's body are accumulated into poison gas clouds that leak and drift around it. The gas is its best weapon in battle, being potent enough to stun and immobilize an opponent with just a whiff.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/weezing/ Galarian Weezing | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Galarian Weezing preys on {{p|Trubbish}} for the fumes it produces.

Galarian Weezing is also the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Strange Steam}}. Additionally, in [[Generation IX]], Galarian Weezing is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Misty Surge}} as an [[Ability]].
{{left clear}}

===Evolution===
Weezing evolves from {{p|Koffing}}.

In [[Galar]], Weezing has a [[regional form]] that evolves from Koffing.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Weezing will hover in place and emit {{m|Poison Gas}} that juggles any opponent who comes near it, essentially serving the function of its pre-Evolution, {{p|Koffing}}, from [[Super Smash Bros.]]

Weezing also makes an appearance as a float in the [[Poké Floats]] stage. It appears as {{p|Psyduck}} and {{p|Chikorita}} leave. Once {{p|Slowpoke}} appears, it will slowly deflate and move to the top of the screen.

====Trophy information====
''"The evolved form of Koffing, Weezing is basically a pair of Koffing fused together. They tend to float in the air and emit gas or noxious smoke from the outgrowths that cover their bodies. As strange as it may seem, diluting Weezing emissions as much as possible creates one of the most exquisite perfumes known to man."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Weezing appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}, with {{sbw|Wario}} as its puppet fighter. The Spirit Battle occurs on the {{st|Pokémon Stadium}} with a poisonous cloud covering the stage.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Weezing was originally known as "La", representing {{wp|Los Angeles}}' polluted air.
* Weezing is the only {{type|Poison}} Pokémon that {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies|consists of multiple bodies}}.
** Galarian Weezing is the only {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon that consists of multiple bodies.
* In certain instances in the {{pkmn|games}}, such as summary pages and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, a Pokémon's sprite is horizontally flipped, unless its body is asymmetrical. However, Weezing's sprite is flipped in all instances despite its asymmetrical body.
* The {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] for Weezing claim triplet forms have been discovered, but this variant has not been shown in any [[Pokémon]] media.
* Weezing shares similar traits to {{p|Muk}} and {{p|Garbodor}}. All three Pokémon are pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with a single pre-evolved form, roughly the same base stat totals and [[Evolution]] levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Weezing being air pollution.
* Galarian Weezing is tied with {{p|Xerneas}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type form).
* Although neither form of Weezing appears in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} or {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, the smoke tower on the rooftop of the [[Galaxy Hall]] resembles a Galarian Weezing, and there is a statue of a regular Weezing outside the [[Rust Syndicate Office]].
* Weezing and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon whose {{Abilities}} changed in [[Generation VIII]]. In previous [[generation]]s, their only Ability was {{a|Levitate}}.
* Galarian Weezing can learn more moves that cause it to faint than any other Pokémon ({{m|Self-Destruct}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Memento}}, and {{m|Misty Explosion}}).
* Galarian Weezing was the first [[Galarian form]] to be officially revealed.
* Galarian Weezing has the shortest duration of time out of all Pokémon between being made available in a mainline game and being made available in {{g|GO}}. It was made available in Pokémon GO in Raid Battles on November 16, 2019, just one day after the release of {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* In the first dub season of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', the same recording of Weezing's cry is used any time a Weezing is shown, including James's Weezing and the one lent to Ash in ''The Ultimate Test''. Beginning with the second dub season's premiere episode, ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Weezing would have more unique vocal sounds during their appearances.

===Origin===
Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, Weezing may have been based upon a floating {{wp|naval mine}} or living meteorite. It is also based on smog and other forms of air pollution. It may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic and/or radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life forms. Much like Koffing, the symbol under Weezing's larger face resembles the {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol for poison. The three orbs connected by stems that constitute its body resemble a {{wp|molecule}}. Weezing's fused heads may also be based on {{wp|conjoined twins}} and the effects of pollution-induced birth defects.

Weezing's prominent eyebrow ridges and large bottom teeth evoke the unappealing appearance of mythical creatures like {{wp|troll}}s or {{wp|ogre}}s, often associated with polluted or unclean environments such as swamps, reinforcing its Poison typing. Its features also resemble those of the Japanese {{wp|oni}}, known for their imposing tusks and fearsome presence.

Galarian Weezing takes inspiration from {{wp|steam engine}}s.<ref>(November 15, 2019). "[https://www.4gamer.net/games/451/G045125/20191112090/ 「ポケットモンスターソード・シールド」インタビュー。「最強」をテーマに，子供たちが楽しめるものを目指して]." ''4Gamer.net''.</ref> Its appearance in particular seems to be based on a stereotypical {{wp|Victorian era}} British gentleman wearing a {{wp|Top hat|chimney hat}}, combined with actual {{wp|chimney}}s. Both its smog-based "facial hair" and its {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Shield}} Pokédex entry, which describes Weezing taking the form as a result of heavy air pollution, likely draw reference from {{wp|Pea soup fog|the heavy smog}} that afflicted London during the Victorian era. Its ability to clean the air of pollutants may be based on air scrubbers, referring to the fact that they expel clean air as referenced in its {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword}} Pokédex entry. The way Galarian Weezing feeds, absorbing polluted air and then releasing it through the chimney-like tubes on top of their heads as purified air, may have been based on the feeding method of {{wp|Porifera|sponges}}, which are animals that feed through filtration. Water enters the sponge's body bringing food particles (such as microorganisms) and, after being filtered by the animal, is eliminated through the {{wp|osculum}}, a hole in the free end of the animal. Its design may also draw inspiration from nuclear cooling towers, referring to the clouds that they make being steam and not smoke as evidenced by its signature move {{m|Strange Steam}}. Additionally, its {{t|Fairy}} type and appearance may be a reference to {{wp|leprechaun}}s. Galarian Weezing's {{Shiny}} form may be based on {{wp|sepia tone}} photography.

Galarian Weezing's resemblance to Victorian era British noblemen, along with its [[Ability]] {{a|Neutralizing Gas}}, may be a play on {{wp|noble gas}}es, which are gaseous elements known for being highly unreactive and are typically used to prevent unwanted reactions from occuring.

====Name origin====
Weezing may be a corruption of ''wheezing'' (producing a whistling sound while breathing with difficulty).

Matadogas may come from 又 ''mata'' (again) and 毒ガス ''doku-gasu'' (poison gas). It may also be derived from マスタードガス ''masutādogasu'' ({{wp|mustard gas}}).

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Yellow}}
'''Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター　ピカチュウ}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Pikachu''), often known as '''Pokémon Yellow Version''', is the third Pokémon game for [[Game Boy]] released worldwide, as a [[core series|solitary version]] of {{g|Red and Blue Versions}}. In Japan, the game was the fourth Pokémon game released, as a second solitary version of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Unlike other games, Pokémon Yellow was inspired by {{aniseries|PTS}}.

Similar to Red and Blue, Yellow arrived towards the end of the Game Boy's lifespan. It managed, though, to receive the title of second best-selling non-bundled game for its console, losing only to its predecessors.

The game was available on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] between the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]] on [[Pokémon Day#2016|February 27, 2016]] and the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023.

[[Generation VII]] [[remakes]], titled {{LGPE}}, were released worldwide for the [[Nintendo Switch]] in November 2018, in celebration of Yellow's 20th anniversary in Japan.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Yellow is very similar to that of the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as of the {{game|Red and Blue|s|Western Red and Blue}}: the {{player}} (canonically known as {{ga|Red}}) begins his game in [[Pallet Town]], a small town in the [[Kanto]] region, on the same day as his former best friend and now {{ga|Blue|rival}}.

While looking for [[Professor Oak]] who had called both of them to his laboratory, the player tries to leave town, only for Oak to catch up to him two steps into {{rt|1|Kanto}}'s grassy path. Warning the player about the dangers of walking in [[tall grass]] without a Pokémon, Oak himself encounters a wild {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} and manages to catch it, before leading the player to his laboratory, where he allows the player to take the single {{i|Poké Ball}} containing an {{p|Eevee}} from the desk near him. The [[rival]] quickly gets jealous, shoves the player out of his way and takes the Pokémon for himself. With no other options, Oak gives player the freshly caught Pikachu, after which the rival challenges the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}.

After the battle, Oak allows the two new Trainers to leave for their {{pkmn|journey}} across [[Kanto]]. Right after the rival leaves, the player's Pikachu breaks out of his Poké Ball and [[Walking Pokémon|starts following the player on foot]]. Stopping in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Poké Mart]], the player will find that a [[Parcel|package]] has come in for the professor, and the clerk asks that it be delivered to him. After this has been completed the professor gives one [[Pokédex]] to the player and one to the rival, and sends them on their way. Viridian City has a Gym; however, it is locked.

From here, the player has his first encounter with other Trainers, on {{rt|2|Kanto}} and in [[Viridian Forest]], and his first encounter with a [[Gym Leader]]: [[Brock]] the {{type|Rock}} Gym Leader of [[Pewter City]]. After his defeat, journeying along {{rt|3|Kanto}} and through [[Mt. Moon]] brings the player face to face with the regional [[villainous team]], [[Team Rocket]], who are attempting to extract rare [[Fossil]]s from the cave. Their defeat allows the player to continue through the cave and obtain the [[Dome Fossil]] or [[Helix Fossil]] which can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}. Before the player leaves the cave, he is ambushed by two Team Rocket grunts (unnamed in this game but known as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}), who try to take the fossil back. Continuing onto {{rt|4|Kanto}}, the player finds himself in [[Cerulean City]], where another [[Gym]] is. This one, however, is run by [[Misty]], and specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. To the north, as well, there are two [[route]]s leading up to [[Bill]]'s cottage. On the way, the player is confronted with a trainer who tries to persuade him to join [[Team Rocket]]. When the player reaches [[Bill]]'s cottage and frees him of his transformation into a Pokémon, he will give the player a ticket for the [[S.S. Anne]], a luxury ship moored in {{DL|Vermilion City|Port|Vermilion Harbor}} and filled with Trainers. Taking a shortcut through a house burglarized by Team Rocket, the player finally arrives at {{rt|5|Kanto}}.

After traveling down Routes 5 and {{rtn|6|Kanto}}, using the {{OBP|Underground Path|Kanto Routes 5–6}} to bypass [[Saffron City]], the player finally arrives in {{ci|Vermilion}}. This city is home to another Pokémon Gym; however, the way to it is blocked by a small tree. The only thing to do is to show the ticket to the {{tc|Sailor}} guarding the harbor, allowing entry into the S.S. Anne. It is here, after assisting the captain with his seasickness, that the player will obtain the first of the five [[HM|Hidden Machines]] available in the game, containing {{m|Cut}}. With this, and the {{Badge|Cascade}}, the tree blocking the way to Vermilion Gym can be easily cut through, and [[Lt. Surge]], a Gym Leader specializing in {{type|Electric}}s, can be challenged. From here, {{rt|11|Kanto}} beckons, as does [[Diglett's Cave]], through which is the only way to get back to {{rt|2|Kanto}}, and a second HM, containing {{m|Flash}} held by one of [[Professor Oak]]'s aides on {{rt|2|Kanto}}. The player takes a brief detour to Pewter City's museum's back entrance which was previously blocked due to a Cut-able tree, which can now easily be bypassed. The player obtains the [[Old Amber]] in the museum. Heading back to Diglett's Cave, and to Vermilion, the player must go to Cerulean and to the east, onto {{rt|9|Kanto}} and towards the [[Rock Tunnel]].

Rock Tunnel, a still undeveloped natural tunnel between the sections of {{rt|10|Kanto}}, is pitch black inside; for this reason, {{m|Flash}} is recommended, but not required, for navigation of it. Finally reaching [[Lavender Town]], the only town in Kanto without a Pokémon Gym besides Pallet, there is not much to do; the local [[Pokémon Tower]] is haunted. From here, {{rt|8|Kanto}} leads to Saffron City, but it again must be bypassed by way of another {{OBP|Underground Path|Kanto Routes 7–8}}, which has its other entrance on {{rt|7|Kanto}}, on the west side of Saffron. [[Celadon City]], the home of the fourth Gym which specializes in {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, is just a short walk further. Like the Vermilion Gym, the Celadon Gym also has a small tree blocking the way to its entrance, and an old man outside.

The [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] in Celadon is not what it appears to be. In fact, the Game Corner itself is merely the above-ground portion of a sprawling underground complex: the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]]. The player runs into Jessie and James for a second time and then meets the Team Rocket boss, Giovanni, who after his defeat flees, leaving behind a Silph Scope. A Silph Scope is required to fully navigate the Pokémon Tower inside of Lavender Town that the player encountered earlier.

After this, the Pokémon Tower can be navigated, and the ghosts haunting it are revealed to be {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}. In front of the stairs to the final floor, blocking the way, is also a final spirit, that of a deceased {{p|Marowak}} that was killed by Team Rocket when they captured her child. Making it all the way to the top reveals [[Mr. Fuji]] held hostage by Jessie and James, who will leave when they are defeated. Fuji gives away the [[Poké Flute]], and with that, the {{p|Snorlax}} blocking {{rt|11|Kanto}} and {{rt|16|Kanto}} can finally be moved away. Another HM, containing {{m|Fly}}, can be obtained easily by cutting away a tree blocking the northern section of Route 16.

Now the player is presented with a choice of how to get to [[Fuchsia City]]. Traveling down either way the Snorlax are blocking, a faster way via Routes 16, {{rtn|17|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|18|Kanto}} on [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]], or down the {{DL|Kanto Route 12|Silence Bridge}} of Routes {{rtn|12|Kanto}}, {{rtn|13|Kanto}}, {{rtn|14|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|15|Kanto}}, inevitably brings one to the southernmost city in continental Kanto, [[Fuchsia City]], home of [[Koga]] of the {{t|Poison}}ous Fuchsia Gym and the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. The Safari Zone is currently running a contest: the person to reach a specific rest house first will win yet another HM, containing {{m|Surf}}. Finding the [[Baoba|Safari Zone Warden]]'s [[Gold Teeth]] also will have him reward the player with the final of Kanto's HMs, containing {{m|Strength}}.

The player then goes back to either [[Celadon City]] or [[Lavender Town]], encountering the other {{p|Snorlax}} on the way back. After stopping off at the [[Celadon Department Store]] and buying a drink at a [[vending machine]], Saffron City can finally be entered. However, Team Rocket is guarding almost every door in the city, including that of the local Pokémon Gym! One of the open buildings, however, is the unofficial Fighting-type Pokémon Gym. After the player defeats the Fighting Dojo, he is entitled to either a {{p|Hitmonchan}} or a {{p|Hitmonlee}}. The city's centerpiece building, [[Silph Co.]]'s headquarters, has also been infiltrated by the organization, and at the top, waiting in the boardroom guarded by Jessie and James, is the Team Rocket Boss, [[Giovanni]], appearing for a second time, demanding that the president give him the [[Master Ball]] that the company had developed. After his defeat, he flees.

After Team Rocket clears out of [[Saffron City]], all buildings previously blocked are now open, as well as the Gym. The Gym Leader, [[Sabrina]], specializes in {{type|Psychic}}s. The floor, as well, is covered in warp tiles that make it difficult to navigate. After Sabrina's defeat, the player makes his way back to Fuchsia City again and heads out to obtain the rest of the Badges.

With six Badges in hand, and five HMs in the bag, finally the player can adventure onto the open sea of Routes {{rtn|19|Kanto}} and {{rtn|20|Kanto}}. A short way across them, of course, is a minor obstacle: the [[Seafoam Islands]]. After they have been navigated through, the player can continue on Route 20 to [[Cinnabar Island]], home of [[Blaine]]'s {{type|Fire}} Gym. There are also several more facilities on the island, including one that actually revives Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. After Blaine's defeat, only the final Gym, that of Viridian City, remains.

Finally unlocked, the Gym, whose leader specializes in {{type|Ground}}s, is revealed to be none other than the boss of Team Rocket himself, [[Giovanni]]! After his defeat, he vows to disband Team Rocket and disappears. Now with eight Badges, all that lies ahead is the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], conveniently at the end of {{rt|23|Kanto}}.

The [[Elite Four]] await challengers, those who have proven themselves worthy by getting all eight Badges and making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} will face them, in order. [[Lorelei]], who {{pkmn|training|trains}} {{type|Ice}} Pokémon is first, followed by [[Bruno]], whose specialty is {{t|Fighting}}, [[Agatha]], whose specialty is {{t|Ghost}}, and finally [[Lance]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}}s. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]] challenges the player to a final battle, and the Champion is none other than the player's own rival! After his defeat, Oak arrives and tells the player that he won because he cares better for his Pokémon, and the player's current [[party]] are added to the [[Hall of Fame]].

After the credits roll, the player is back in Pallet Town. The previously closed [[Cerulean Cave]] is now open, and the powerful {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found inside.

==Changes from Red, Green, and Blue==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The Japanese release has one set of in-game [[Color palette (Generations I–II)|color palettes]] while the international releases of Pokémon Yellow have two separate sets for different game systems.
** See details in "[[#Localization changes|Localization changes]]" below.
* The front Pokémon sprites have all been updated to resemble how they appear in their then-current [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork usually used in promotional images and strategy guides for the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}}, {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}}, and the {{game|Red and Blue|s|Western Red and Blue}}, as well as some of them resembling how they appear in {{aniseries|PTS}}. However, the back sprites are the same as the previous games.
* Some {{pkmn|Trainer}} sprites were also redone. {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} now better resemble their stock artwork for [[Generation I]], as the Pokémon sprites do. [[Brock]] wears an outfit like his {{an|Brock|animated counterpart}}'s and [[Misty]]'s bikini was changed to a shirt and shorts similar to those worn by {{an|Misty|her counterpart}}.
* [[Blaine]] has a different overworld sprite, this time clearly showing him wearing glasses.
* [[Giovanni]] uses a {{p|Persian}} in the battle at the [[Viridian Gym]], referencing {{an|Giovanni}} owning a Persian in ''Pokémon the Series''.
* All policemen were recast as [[Officer Jenny]]s and all [[Pokémon Center lady|Pokémon Center ladies]] were recast as [[Nurse Joy]]s (attended by a {{p|Chansey}}).
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] have their own individual overworld sprites ([[File:Jessie OD.png]][[File:James OD.png]]) and share a group battle sprite.
* The newly introduced {{p|Pikachu}} sprite [[File:025 I OD.png]] is used in the overworld for [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]]. This sprite is also used as the [[List of Pokémon icons in Generations I and II|icon]] for any Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} in the [[party]], instead of using the {{p|Clefairy}}-like icon [[File:MS Clefairy I.png]] from earlier games.
** If a Pikachu owned by the player uses {{m|Surf}} outside of battle, this Pikachu appears as the sprite [[File:025 I Surfing OD.png]] instead of the generic aquatic [[File:MS Aquatic I.png]] sprite.
** Some Pokémon received new sprites that show their individual appearance more clearly instead of using generic icons shared by multiple Pokémon: {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Oddish}}, and {{p|Chansey}} ([[File:001 I OD.png]][[File:027 I OD.png]][[File:035 I OD.png]][[File:039 I OD.png]][[File:043 I OD.png]][[File:113 I OD.png]]). However, much like Snorlax [[File:143 I OD.png]] since the previous games, those new sprites only appear in the overworld; they still use their old generic sprites in the party.
* [[Kanto]] is slightly redesigned a second time, featuring different designs for doors, signposts, windows, and other minor elements.
* The flashing at the start of a wild Pokémon battle encounter transition (in a non-dungeon location) is slowed down, likely in response to the [[Pokémon Shock]] incident.
* In the Japanese version of Pokémon Yellow, the player character {{ga|Red}} has a Super Famicon in [[Player's house|his bedroom]] (as opposed to a Famicon in the Japanese versions of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red, Green}}, and {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Blue}}). However, in the international versions of all [[Generation I]] games, the player has an [[Super Nintendo|SNES]] instead.
* The [[game credits|credits]] of Pokémon Yellow now include {{p|Gengar}} as the 16th Pokémon silhouette, as opposed to the previous games with only 15 Pokémon silhouettes in the credits.

===Location changes===
* In some locations, Trainers who reference characters from {{aniseries|PTS}} replace previous Trainers.
** On {{rt|6|Kanto}}, a {{tc|Camper|Jr. Trainer♂}} and {{tc|Picnicker|Jr. Trainer♀}} are changed to reference [[Joe (EP009)|Joe]] and [[Giselle]].
** On {{rt|9|Kanto}}, a {{tc|Camper|Jr. Trainer♂}} was replaced with a {{tc|Youngster}} to reference [[A.J.]]
* Two extra trainers (a {{tc|Lass}} and another {{tc|Bug Catcher}}) were added in [[Viridian Forest]].
* The Summer Beach House, where [[Pikachu's Beach]] can be played, was added to {{rt|19|Kanto}}.
* In the [[Cinnabar Gym]], the player must now take the quiz machines' quiz before they can battle the Trainer stationed nearby.
* The [[Bicycle]] theme does not play on {{rt|23|Kanto}} and in {{ka|Victory Road}}.
* [[Cerulean Cave]] has a completely different layout.
* Changes were made to the locations and availability of Pokémon.
** Some changes may have been made to reinforce the animation-based setting.
*** {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}} are removed from all availability in the wild, leaving only the player's partner Pikachu (who cannot evolve).
*** In [[EP003|an episode]], {{Ash}} [[Caught Pokémon|catches]] a {{p|Caterpie}} and a {{p|Pidgeotto}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. In the game, {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} have been added to Viridian Forest. Additionally, although both {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}} were available in previous games, only Caterpie is available now.
*** The player can now also obtain all three of the original [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] (at [[Cerulean City]], {{rt|24|Kanto}}, and [[Vermilion City]]), referencing the [[EP010|three-]][[EP011|episode]] [[EP012|arc]] where Ash recruits them.
*** The Pokémon that {{TRT}} uses ({{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and their Evolutions) are no longer available to be caught in the wild.
** [[In-game trade]]s are changed to different Pokémon, and two trades are removed from the game.
** {{p|Farfetch'd}} and {{p|Lickitung}}, previously available only through in-game trades, now appear as [[wild Pokémon]].
** {{p|Abra}}, previously available on the routes north of [[Cerulean City]], has now been relocated to the four routes surrounding [[Saffron City]].
* A trash can was added between the table and the wall in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].
** This forces the player to be located south of the table (instead of going around it) when trying to interact with the {{p|Eevee}} Poké Ball at the start of the game, which triggers the cutscene where {{ga|Blue|the rival}} pushes the player to the side and obtains his first partner instead.

===Gameplay changes===
* {{p|Pikachu}} is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] the {{player}} can receive, referencing the [[EP001|first episode]]. This Pikachu [[Walking Pokémon|travels alongside the player]] on-screen, outside of the [[Poké Ball]]—just like [[Ash’s Pikachu]], who dislikes being inside one. It will also [[cry]] like Ash's Pikachu in {{aniseries|PTS}}, with its cries now [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]].
** This Pikachu cannot be [[Evolution|evolved]] or {{pkmn2|released}}, referencing two [[EP014|certain]] [[EP039|episodes]].
* The {{ga|Blue|rival}} starts with {{p|Eevee}}. He will eventually have a different team based around one of Eevee's Evolutions depending on how the player fares in the first two battles with the rival (the second being optional), at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] and {{rt|22|Kanto}}.
** If the player wins both, Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}}.
** If the player wins at the lab and loses or skips at Route 22, Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}}.
** If the player loses at the lab, Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}}.
* A minimal [[friendship]] system is implemented to track how Pikachu feels about the player.
* [[Gym Leader]]s have different teams and movesets, some based on those that appear in ''Pokémon the Series''.
* [[Level]]-up learnsets and [[TM]] compatibility are altered slightly for certain Pokémon. {{p|Charizard}}, for example, can now learn {{m|Fly}} via [[HM02]].
* Support is added for the [[Game Boy Printer]].
* If the player does not have {{PDollar}}500, they can still enter the {{safari|Kanto}}. The player will have to pay any money they do have and will receive a number of [[Safari Ball]]s proportional to the amount paid (but at least one). It can also be entered for free should the player keep trying.
* {{m|Kinesis}} is given to {{p|Kadabra}} as its [[signature move]]. In the previous games, {{m|Kinesis}} was never used and the only way it might appear would be if randomly called by {{m|Metronome}}.
* A new mode, "Colosseum 2", was added to the {{DL|Pokémon Center|Generation I|Cable Club}}.
* The [[Viridian City]] [[Poké Mart]] now sells [[Potion]]s. The NPC complaining about Potions not being sold in Pokémon Red and Blue now states that the Mart finally sells Potions again.
* In-game opponents have altered movesets where their Pokémon may use moves that aren’t exclusively learned by level-up unlike the opponent movesets encountered in Pokémon, Red, Blue and Green.

===Storyline changes===
* The chain of events leading to the player obtaining their first partner Pokémon is slightly different:
** The player now takes one step further into the [[tall grass]] before [[Professor Oak]] comes along. Now himself standing in the tall grass, Oak encounters a wild Pikachu and immediately catches it before leading the player back to his laboratory.
** Instead of giving the player and {{ga|Blue}} the choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, Professor Oak tells the player to take the single [[Poké Ball]] on his desk, containing {{p|Eevee}}, but Blue shoves the player out of the way and takes the Poké Ball instead. Oak then gives the player the only Pokémon he has on hand: the Pikachu he has caught before, which, after the first battle against Blue, immediately breaks free from its Poké Ball and follows the player on foot from this point onward.
* The {{ka|old man}} in [[Viridian City]] now must be spoken to before going to [[Viridian Forest]]. He attempts to demonstrate how to catch a Pokémon, fails and leaves to get more Poké Balls from the Viridian [[Poké Mart]]. The player can visit the Poké Mart to ask him to repeat the tutorial.
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear throughout the game, replacing Grunts from the previous games in four different places. They are involved in [[Team Rocket]]'s scheme and are typically found before a battle with [[Giovanni]]. Though they are named "Rocket" like any {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}, they have distinct overworld and in-battle sprites.

===[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Missing Pokémon]]===
The following Pokémon are not obtainable in Yellow. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the previous [[Generation I]] games or from the [[Generation II]] games. Which of these games each Pokémon is available in is indicated below.

Note that "'''{{color|{{green color}}|G}}'''" indicates a Pokémon that can be caught in the {{game|Red and Green|s|Japanese Green}}, and thus in the {{game|Red and Blue|s|Western Blue}} as well. "'''{{color|{{blue color}}|B}}'''" indicates a Pokémon obtainable in the [[Pokémon Blue (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]].

==Connectivity==
Players may [[trade]] Pokémon between two cartridges or battle with another cartridge using a [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]]. To take full advantage of this feature, several Pokémon are exclusive to other Generation I games and others require trading to evolve, making trading necessary to complete the [[Pokédex]]. The Japanese version can trade and battle with Japanese versions of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red, Green}}, {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}}, and Yellow; the Western versions can trade and battle with Western versions of {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, and Yellow. It can also trade with {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} via the [[Time Capsule]]. Pokémon Yellow is completely incompatible with games from [[Generation III]] onward.

Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game without causing corruption. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data from Japanese to a different language or vice versa, since neither game fully {{OBP|Character encoding|Generation I|encodes}} both {{wp|kana}} and the {{wp|Latin alphabet}} (only encoding one fully and the other partially). If a battle between a Japanese game and a non-Japanese game is attempted, the battle simply does not work, with the save files left unharmed.

Pokémon Yellow is compatible with the Japan-exclusive {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}, Western {{pkmn|Stadium}}, and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}. While link battles are not possible directly between Pokémon Yellow and the Generation II games, a player may challenge a Generation II game using Pokémon Stadium 2.

Pokémon Yellow is also compatible with the [[Game Boy Printer]]. It is possible to print Pokédex entries, the [[Diploma]], [[Pokémon Storage System]] Boxes, [[Party]] Pokémon, and the [[Pikachu's Beach]] high score.

===Colosseum 2===
Yellow debuted a new link battle mode, Colosseum 2. In Colosseum 2, players can select from several battle modes:
* [[Pika Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[level]]s 15 to 20 only; their combined level limit is 50)
* [[Petit Cup]] (for Pokémon between levels 25 to 30, with a height no more than 6'07" (2 m), and weight no more than 44.1 lbs. (20 kg) only)
* [[Poké Cup]] (for Pokémon between levels 50 to 55 only, and the sum of all entered Pokémon's Levels cannot exceed 155; {{p|Mew}} is not allowed).
These three cups would later become standard cups in [[Pokémon Stadium]] (known as Pokémon Stadium 2 in Japan).

In addition, in the Japanese versions, {{m|Blizzard}}'s chance to {{status|freeze}} in Colosseum 2 is changed to 10% rather than the usual 30%. Blizzard's chance to freeze is always 10% in the {{g|Stadium series}} and the Western releases of the Generation I games.

===Virtual Console===
The [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release uses 3DS wireless communication as a substitute for the Game Link Cable. The Virtual Console release disables [[Game Boy Printer]] compatibility. Japanese and non-Japanese Generation I core series games do not recognize each other when attempting to link them via 3DS wireless communication.

Using [[Poké Transporter]], all Pokémon in Box 1 can be sent from the Generation I core series games to {{g|Bank}} (regardless of language), and from Pokémon Bank, they can then be moved to [[Generation VII]] core series games.

==Localization changes==
* In the [[player's house|player's bedroom]], the video game console is a Super Famicom in the Japanese Yellow (unlike the Famicom in earlier Japanese games). This video game is a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] in the localizations of all Generation I games.
* In the [[Celadon Department Store]] 4F, there is a male [[non-player character|NPC]] planning to give a [[Poké Doll]] to {{OBP|Copycat|character}}. In the Japanese, French, and Italian versions, he correctly mentions that Copycat lives in [[Saffron City]]. However, due to a localization error in the English and Spanish versions, he incorrectly says that she lives in [[Cerulean City]]. In the German version, he does not mention where she lives.

===Color palettes===
* Much like the earlier games {{game|Red and Blue|s}} (in all languages), the Japanese version of Pokémon Yellow has a single set of [[Color palette (Generations I–II)|color palettes]] which is compatible with [[Super Nintendo]]'s [[Super Game Boy]] and [[Super Game Boy 2]], as well as the [[Game Boy Tower]] from the [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. There are a number of external color options when played on the [[Game Boy Color]]. The Japanese Yellow is monochromatic when played on other systems such as the [[Game Boy Advance]], [[Nintendo Game Cube]]'s [[Game Boy Player]], or [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console]].
** The international versions of Pokémon Yellow have two separate sets of color palettes: the previously mentioned one from the Japanese version, as well as another set of brighter color palettes which is compatible with the [[Game Boy Color]], [[Game Boy Tower]] from the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] (which does not use the SNES palette for the international Yellow), [[Game Boy Advance]], [[Nintendo GameCube]] with [[Game Boy Player]], and [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console]].
* In [[Game Boy Color]] mode, the Japanese and Western versions of Pokémon Yellow use different yellow palettes. The Japanese version applies a predefined yellow palette, similar to how Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue use their respective predefined red, green, and blue palettes. Meanwhile, the Western versions instead apply the [[Super Game Boy]] palettes but with more saturated colors. However, the yellow palette from the Japanese version is still present in the Western release, though only in certain situations, such as the [[Pikachu's Beach]] high-score screen.
* The change to the color of {{p|Jynx}}'s sprites mentioned below only affects the localized version of Pokémon Yellow, since this game is monochromatic in the Japanese version of the Virtual Console.

===Localization changes shared by Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow===

The Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] releases can [[#Connectivity|link]] with other Virtual Console Generation I and II core series games via Nintendo 3DS wireless communication, simulating the [[Game Link Cable]]. When initiating a link, the Virtual Console menu on the touch screen replaces the Cable Club attendant's dialogue. Additionally, all of the [[Game Boy Printer]] features are disabled, although the option still appears in the PC menu: when selected, the game acts as if the printing is in progress, even though, in reality, nothing is happening.

Using [[Poké Transporter]], Pokémon can be sent from the Generation I core series games to {{g|Bank}}, and from Pokémon Bank, they can then be moved to [[Generation VII]] core series games.

The moves {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Bubble Beam|BubbleBeam}}, {{m|Confusion}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Guillotine}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Mega Kick}}, {{m|Mega Punch}}, {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}}, {{m|Spore}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}} had their animations changed slightly to tone down the flashing.

In the Western language releases, which are emulated in [[Game Boy Color]] mode, {{p|Jynx}}'s battle sprites have been recolored to align with its modern design, recoloring Jynx's black skin to purple. Jynx's original design had previously been subject to {{pkmn|controversies}} due to its resemblance to racial stereotypes of African-Americans. The Japanese release is emulated in [[Game Boy]] mode—which is monochromatic—so no change was made.

The requirement for the [[Pikachu's Beach]] minigame is now the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of the game instead of [[Surfing Pikachu]].

==Differences from ''Pokémon the Series''==
The game is loosely based on {{aniseries|OS}} of {{aniseries|PTS}}, but has several differences:
* [[Brock]] does not surrender during the [[Pewter Gym]] battle and does not accompany the {{player}} thereafter.
* [[Misty]] is first encountered in the [[Cerulean Gym]]. In ''Pokémon the Series'', she had left the Gym when {{Ash}} met her (the Gym was run by the [[Sensational Sisters]]). She also does not accompany the player on their journey in the game.
* {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} are acquired from tasks. In ''Pokémon the Series'', {{AP|Bulbasaur}} was caught in a formal battle, {{AP|Charmander}} was rescued from heavy rain, and {{AP|Squirtle}} simply followed Ash.
* {{MTR}} can use {{m|Pay Day}} and does not speak in the game.

==English title==
[[File:Pokemon Yellow cartridge.png|thumb|200px|An American version game cartridge of Yellow]]
While the game's title has become widely accepted as simply ''Pokémon Yellow'', its officially recognized name outside of Japan is not entirely certain. On the boxart for most English versions, the expression ''Special Pikachu Edition'' replaces the series' then-current slogan ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Gotta Catch 'em All!]]'' below the Pokémon logo, while ''Yellow Version'' is at the bottom, near where Red and Blue had theirs. However, the expression ''Special Pikachu Edition'' is repeated on the box's opening and spine.

==Trivia==
* The game's Japanese release date of September 12, 1998, was intentionally timed to coincide with the release of a movie, being released two months after ''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/ipkj/vol1/index2.html {{j|社長が訊く『ポケットモンスターハートゴールド・ソウルシルバー』}}]</ref><ref>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/pokemon/0/1 Iwata Asks : Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version : The King Of Portable Toys]</ref>
** As such, it came out in Japan before the [[Game Boy Color]], which was not released until October 21, 1998.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/hardware/color/ {{j|ゲームボーイカラー}}]</ref> This explains the lack of Game Boy Color support in the Japanese versions, with the game using a yellow palette by default when played on a Game Boy Color, [[Game Boy Advance]], [[Game Boy Advance SP]], or [[Game Boy Player]], much like the red, green, and blue palettes respectively used by {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red, Green,}} and {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}}.
** Pokémon Yellow was also announced and released after [[Game Freak]] postponed {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, which were originally set to come out in March 1998.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n12/swgbsoft/swgb03.html {{j|SPACEWORLD'97 出展　GAME BOYソフト}}]</ref> Instead, [[Pokémon Pikachu]] came out that year.
** The special Pikachu Yellow model of the [[Game Boy Printer]] was also exclusively released in Japan on September 12, 1998.<ref>[http://maru-chang.com/hard/gb/ {{j|DMG/MGB/CGB：ゲームボーイ}}]</ref><ref>[http://www.geocities.jp/hagane0772/rekisi.html {{j|ポケモンの歴史}}]</ref>
* {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which re-implemented the [[walking Pokémon]] mechanic that was introduced in Yellow, were released in Japan exactly 11 years after Yellow was released in Japan.
* The two available first partner Pokémon of this game, {{p|Pikachu}} ({{ga|Red|player}}) and {{p|Eevee}} ({{ga|Blue|rival}}), are the only Pokémon introduced prior to [[Generation V]] to evolve with a [[Thunder Stone]].
* [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Otani]]'s [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voice]] to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2008/02/index.html Director's Column]. However, this change is exclusive to this one specimen and not the entire species, as other Pikachu (i.e. those that don't have the player's [[Original Trainer]] ID and name) use the original cry.
* Prior to the Virtual Console release announcement, [[Pokémon.com]] listed Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow with a PEGI rating of 3<ref>[http://archive.is/8EFqK Pokémon™ Yellow Special Pikachu Edition | Video Games | Pokemon.com] (archive)</ref>, despite those games never receiving an official PEGI classification up to that point.
* The box arts for {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}}, Yellow, and {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Silver}} are the only three instances where the English ''Pokémon'' logo is shown partially covered by some element (in this case, Pikachu's ears).
* Yellow Special Pikachu Edition has the longest name of all core series titles, including symbols and spaces, with 30.
* According to a FAQ page that was available in February 1999 on [[Pokémon.com]], there were no plans to release an American version of Pokémon Yellow (mentioned as the "Pikachu" version), as well as any other Pokémon games that had only been released in Japanese at the time.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19990221021626/http://www.pokemon.com/games/faq.html</ref>
* The Poké Cup format is based on the Nintendo Cup '97, a real life event that took place in Japan that year and which was the first tournament in Pokémon history.
* If the player attempts to use a Thunder Stone on their Pikachu, it'll refuse. Talking to Pikachu afterwards will cause it to shake its head. Traded Pikachu are unaffected by this.
* The Japanese version of {{g|Pinball}} uses the {{pin|Pokédex}} entries from Pokémon Yellow. However, Pokémon Pinball was released in English before Pokémon Yellow. The English version of Pokémon Pinball uses the Pokédex entries shared by {{game|Red and Blue|s}} instead.
* The majority of Pokémon unavailable for capture in Pokémon Yellow have either been caught (albeit given away) or temporarily commanded by {{Ash}} in later seasons of {{aniseries|PTS}}.
** Ash catches a {{TP|Casey|Beedrill}}, but gives it to {{an|Casey}}.
** In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} catches an Ekans for the [[Pokémon Catch Race]]. However, Ash had to release it as per the race’s rules.
** In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', Ash commands an {{p|Arbok}}, {{p|Weezing}}, and {{p|Meowth}} when he took the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]].
** Ash temporarily cares for a {{p|Raichu}} as part of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]].

===Unique content===
In the [[core series]], this is the only game with these characteristics:
* It was the second "upper version" game in the same [[generation]] (in Japan, after {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}}).
* It has a single [[walking Pokémon]].
* This is the only game with these [[friendship]]-based qualities:
** There is a single Pokémon with the friendship mechanic available.
** Depositing a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Storage System}} causes it to lose some friendship.
** There are no available friendship-based Evolutions even though the friendship mechanic is present.
* There are two different types of [[cry|cries]] available for the same species depending on whether the player is the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer|OT]] (the partner Pikachu has a vocalized cry like in {{aniseries|PTS}}, while a non-OT Pikachu still has a chiptune noise cry like in earlier games).
* The entire trio of first partner Pokémon introduced in the game's own [[generation]] can be obtained without trades, transfers, or events.
* The [[rival]] is seen preventing the player from obtaining a Pokémon (the first partner {{p|Eevee}} in the cutscene at the start of the game).
* The rival's first partner Pokémon is able to evolve, but not the player's first partner Pokémon.
* The rival's team is influenced by whether he has won or lost earlier battles against the player.
* Out of all localized games, this is the only one where no [[item]] was introduced.
** In Japanese, this applies to both {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}} and Yellow.

===Introduced content===
In the core series, this was the first game with these characteristics:
* It is heavily influenced by {{aniseries|PTS}}. This carries over into its remakes, {{LGPE}}.
* A Pokémon species is part of the Japanese title. This is also the case in the remakes.
* This was the first localized game whose boxart lacks the [[Gotta catch 'em all!|slogan]] below the Pokémon logo, although this slogan was reused in [[Generation II]] before it was dropped from the game boxarts altogether in [[Generation III]].
* Characters introduced in ''Pokémon the Series'' appear in-game. This includes the [[Team Rocket trio]], [[Nurse Joy]], and [[Officer Jenny]].
* {{p|Farfetch'd}} can be caught in the wild, instead of only from [[in-game trade]]s like in earlier games.
* The [[game intro|intro]] cutscenes only feature a single Pokémon species ({{p|Pikachu}} in this case).
* The intro cutscenes do not feature any human character.
* It has a Pokémon whose [[cry]] was influenced by the vocalizations used in animation instead of using a chiptune noise.
** This was also the first game to have a single available Pokémon species with this kind of cry, which was also the case later for Pikachu in {{g|X and Y}}.
* It has a single [[first partner Pokémon]] available for the player.
* The player's first partner Pokémon is unable to evolve. This is also the case in the remakes.
* A Pokémon is unable to evolve even though the current game is compatible with the evolved form.
** In later games, this was also the case with other Pokémon such as [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]{{sup/4|HGSS}} and [[Cosplay Pikachu]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}.
* The first partner Pokémon for the player and the rival have no [[type]] advantage against each other before evolving (although this changes if the rival's first partner Pokémon evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}}).
* An entire trio of first partner Pokémon is obtainable in a single saved game with no trades, transfers, or events.
* A Pokémon may be available (in this case, {{p|Bulbasaur}}) depending on the friendship value of a Pokémon owned by the player.
** This was also the case for the [[lake guardians]] in the [[Nameless Cavern]] from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* Even though the [[friendship]] mechanic is present, there are no usable moves involving this mechanic.
** This is also the case with later games from [[Generation VIII]] onwards.

==Blurb==

''Questions as to what Pokémon waits inside the egg Ash and friends have been carrying for Professor Elm are finally answered when it hatches into a Larvitar. Our heroes hardly have time to celebrate, however, as they realize that this Larvitar is unwell, its body temperature much lower than normal for any non-Ice Pokémon. Even at the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy is unable to do anything to stop this Larvitar's body temperature from dropping even further. Just as she warns Ash that Larvitar's life may be in danger, problems are compounded by a sudden and unexplained blackout. Desperately, Ash and friends set out to restore power to the Pokémon Center in time to somehow treat their ailing Larvitar.''

==Plot==
While {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop for lunch, they are particularly keen to find out what Pokémon will hatch from the [[Pokémon Egg]]. Just as {{an|Brock}} suggests it's going to be a [[Legendary Pokémon]], the Egg begins to glow inside its [[Egg case]] as if it is about to hatch, but it's only a false alarm. As Ash tries to persuade the Egg to hatch by tucking it under his shirt and singing, {{TRT}} spies on them from the bushes and then begins to scheme how to get it. At that moment, the Egg begins to glow again from under Ash's shirt. When Ash pulls his shirt up, it reveals a sleeping {{AP|Larvitar}}. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] for more information, and while he is disappointed to learn that it isn't Legendary, he admits that it was cool to see it hatch. {{an|Misty}} notices that Larvitar isn't moving terribly much, and Brock checks its temperature to discover that its body temperature is way too low. The trio decides it's best if they get Larvitar to a [[Pokémon Center]], and promptly go to a nearby one.

[[Nurse Joy]] can't find anything wrong with Larvitar so she decides to call [[Professor Elm]] to alert him to the situation. However, Elm fails to reply because he is busy hosting {{an|Professor Oak}} and {{Delia}}, who have traveled to [[New Bark Town]] so they can see Ash off to the [[Silver Conference]]. Trouble is brewing back at the Pokémon Center: not only can Nurse Joy not get a hold of Professor Elm, but a storm is brewing and Larvitar isn't getting any better. As Nurse Joy finds that Larvitar is getting worse, the power goes out. Nurse Joy goes to check on the generator but falls down one of Team Rocket's pitfalls. [[Jessie]] explains to her that they were the ones who damaged the generator and now they're going to kidnap Larvitar. Inside, Ash and his friends wonder where Nurse Joy is. Jessie, [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|dressed up as Nurse Joy]], and [[James]], disguised as a surgeon, tell them that they need to take Larvitar to the hospital. Ash almost complies, but Brock stops him and tells him that it's clearly ''not'' Nurse Joy. Brock explains that Nurse Joy usually has a sweet-sounding voice and doesn't smell like dirt. Jessie is immediately insulted and takes off her face mask to reveal herself. {{MTR}} smacks Jessie with a paper fan for blowing their cover. James tries to take Larvitar by force, but he only pulls off its warm blanket. Ash orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, sending Team Rocket running off. Misty and Brock go rescue Nurse Joy from the pitfall, but Nurse Joy explains that the generator's blown beyond repair. Inside, Ash uses {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to heat Larvitar with the flame on its back.

Back in New Bark Town, Professors Elm and Oak are having an intense dinner table discussion over the environment and its effect on a Pokémon’s nature. Elm evidences the {{TP|Lance|Red Gyarados|Gyarados}}, though Oak disputes his claims. Delia is hoping the debate will end when she notices something on Elm’s computer. Elm finally responds to Nurse Joy's email about Larvitar, and immediately hits the road to the Pokémon Center with Professor Oak and Delia. The following morning the two Professors and Delia arrive at the Center. The Professors tell them that they'll take care of Larvitar while the others eat breakfast. The Professors manage to get Larvitar's body temperature up and make it conscious, but Larvitar still doesn't respond to external stimuli and it hasn't eaten, making it obvious a problem still exists. Just as Delia calls everyone away to eat breakfast, Larvitar opens its eyes slightly.

At the table, Ash tells the others of a dream he had the night before where he saw into the eyes of Larvitar as an Egg. The Egg was tossed around in traffic and rolled under the feet of people on a sidewalk. Professor Elm declares that this must be the cause for its unresponsiveness. Ash asks Professor Elm if he can take Larvitar outside for a while, and Elm says it's alright to.

Outside, Ash shows Larvitar how great the world is, showing it a field, the ocean, and the sky, but as Larvitar takes it all in, Team Rocket shows up and invites Larvitar to come lay on a pile of hay with them. After Ash tells them that Larvitar won't, Team Rocket dives into the hay and comes out with a [[Team Rocket's mechas|vehicle]] with a pair of arms and a giant net on it. The arm grabs Ash, who drops Larvitar in the process. Before Team Rocket can steal Larvitar, Ash tells Pikachu to get Larvitar away, but Larvitar won't move. Pikachu tries to zap the vehicle, but it's shockproof, and Team Rocket grabs Pikachu with the other hand. With the net, they go for Larvitar, but a herd of {{p|Jumpluff}} gets in the way. As Larvitar watches the Jumpluff being swatted away and hitting the ground, it remembers bouncing through the streets as an Egg and uses {{m|Screech}}. The shrill sound forces everyone to block their ears. Ash tells Larvitar to run, but instead, it uses {{m|Hidden Power}} to levitate the vehicle and free Pikachu and Ash. The Professors, along with Brock and Misty arrive in time to witness Larvitar's incredible power, and they are left in shock as it sends Team Rocket blasting off.

Ash congratulates Larvitar and tells it there's nothing to be afraid of when it's with its friends. Larvitar begins to smile as it watches some {{p|Bellossom}} dance, as well as a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Butterfree}} fill the sky. Ash offers Larvitar some more assurance, though the new hatchling instantly cowers in fear when {{an|Misty}} greets it. Elm, on the other hand, is not concerned by Larvitar's shy nature and admits that it will be some time before it truly opens up.

The group later returns to New Bark Town where Ash registers for the Silver Conference at the local Pokémon Center. In the evening, they venture over to Elm's Laboratory. Delia wishes her son all the best. Professor Elm also entrusts Ash with Larvitar, explaining that it must be delivered back to [[Mt. Silver]], where the Egg was originally found. Misty is concerned that the travel may be too much for Larvitar, though Elm and Oak reply that it will be best for it to return to its home and develop along the way. Ash formally asks Larvitar if it would like to travel, and the young Pokémon happily agrees to join the group. Misty, however, is unimpressed and comments that this is so typical. Ash accepts the task and places Larvitar inside his [[Bag|backpack]] as he and his friends leave for Mt. Silver.

==Major events==

* When Brock is comparing the real Nurse Joy to Jessie's impersonation, both have Brock pointing out the impostor smells like a hole dug into the Earth, but in the original version he also claims the real Nurse Joy has an aura of "purity and innocence", while the fake Nurse Joy has a shady aura, while in the dub Brock says the real Nurse Joy has a voice like an angel compared to Jessie's Nurse Joy imitation sounding like "a gravel truck on a dirt road". Brock commenting that the real Nurse Joy's mouth moves when she speaks (compared to Jessie's static Nurse Joy mask) was also only in the dub.
* During Ash's dream, the volume of the motorcycle and truck are greatly reduced in the dub.
* Since Jessie and James are disguised as Heidi and Peter from ''Heidi, Girl of the Alps'', the {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} dub alters Team Rocket's motto to include a reference to the famous line from the Italian opening of that series which speaks about smiling mountains and goats saying hello.
** In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, Jessie sings the first line of the opening theme,"{{tt|Abuelito Dime Tú|Tell Me, Grandpa}}" (which is directly translated from the original Japanese, "{{tt|教えて ''Oshiete''|Tell Me}}") before the motto, and James sings it as well, just after his last line. Also, Jessie recites "''{{tt|Para proteger al mundo de la Señorita Rottenmeier|To protect the world from Miss Rottenmeier}}''" and presents herself as "Heidi" instead of "Jessie", while Meowth says "''{{tt|¡Como Heidi, así es!|Just like Heidi, that's right!}}''".

Wile e2005:

{{incomplete|2=Missing release dates}}
From 1998 to 2000 [[Hasbro]] released a number of hand-held, interactive Electronic Pokémon Figures which were equipped with electronic sounds, lights, and/or speech. They are activated when a pair of connectors on the base of the toy are touched simultaneously.

==Electronic Figure sets==
The sets were released incrementally.

===First release===
This first release was available starting in November 1998<ref name="Checklist">[http://web.archive.org/web/20011008100149/http://www.pokemon.com/goods/checklist_pg3.html Pokémon.com goods checklist (archive)]</ref>.

Even though it was released outside Japan, Meowth's toy originally spoke in its Japanese voice, and had at least three sayings. Later production examples from 2001 also exist featuring Meowth speaking six phrases in English (all voiced by [[Nathan Price]]).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usuH1Ez2WfI</ref>

The Pikachu toy attracted controversy because, if the buttons are pressed too fast, its audio recordings are slurred and can be interpreted as profanity.<ref>http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/bashing/pika_cuss.html</ref>

This is a list of all of the arsenal used by [[Team Rocket]], including vehicles, weapons, and gadgets that the [[Team Rocket trio]] and the organization as a whole have used over the course of {{aniseries|PTS}}, and certain {{pkmn|manga}} based on the series.

==In animation==
===Binoculars===
[[File:Team Rocket Binoculars SM.png|thumb|250px|Binoculars used in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
In every [[series]], the trio uses special binoculars with large zoom-in features for viewing at a distance. These binoculars have been frequently used to help the trio spy from high positions.

Team Rocket owns a special drone that they have used in the {{aniseries|BW}} episode ''[[BW109|New Places - Familiar Faces!]]'' and the {{aniseries|XY|''XY'' series}} episode ''[[XY023|Coming Back Into the Cold!]]''. It can fly around with a propeller and is equipped with a small video camera that syncs to a screen on the Meowth Balloon, as well as a video recorder to track sound from its surroundings. Team Rocket occasionally uses this device to spy on {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} whenever they can't directly sneak up on and eavesdrop on their conversations.

'''Fire and Ice''' (Japanese: '''こおりのフィールド！ほのおのたたかい！''' ''Ice Field! Blazing Battle!'') is the 76th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 24, 1998, and in the United States on November 6, 1999.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash's second battle takes place on the Rock Field where he relies on his Squirtle to hopefully take down a Nidorino. In between matches, Ash needs to drop off his Pokémon at the Pokémon Center to have them taken care of. Team Rocket takes this opportunity to make one more attempt at stealing Pikachu. They set up a Pokémon Center of their own and when Ash drops off his Pokeballs, they grab them and run! When he finally gets his Pokémon back, Ash must race to make it to his third match of competition, which will be held on the Ice Field.

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} wins his second preliminary {{pkmn|battle}} on the Rock Field with {{AP|Squirtle}}, it is revealed that {{Gary}} was watching Ash's battle with [[Gary's cheerleaders|his cheerleaders]]. He scoffs at Ash's confidence for winning what he calls two easy matches. Gary walks off while his entourage cheers Ash's name, seemingly jealous and a bit spiteful toward Ash.

{{an|Misty}} later arrives at the group's accommodation, only to notice Ash's absence while {{an|Brock}} takes care of Ash's Pokémon. She criticizes his selfishness, and the two soon reunite with Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who are in midst of searching for a place to eat. Ash soon locates an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant, where he and Misty indulge. During the meal, Pikachu saves {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'s life from falling cutlery, though Misty only sees Pikachu performing a seemingly dangerous stunt. She warns her Pokémon not to follow suit and goes on to criticize Ash's training methods.

Afterwards, Ash and {{ashfr}} search for a [[Pokémon Center]] so Ash can heal his Pokémon before the third round, but they find the Centers are all crowded. Noticing this, {{TRT}} decides to use this opportunity to swipe {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} by opening a fake Pokémon Center. [[James]], disguised in a nurse outfit with a face-mask, lures them into the auspicious building, where Ash submits his Pokémon for healing. However, Brock becomes suspicious when he isn't attracted to the Center's Nurse Joy, who is actually [[Jessie]].

While Ash and his friends are talking, they keep saying the word "trouble," which eventually triggers Team Rocket to recite their {{motto}} and reveal themselves. As a result, Team Rocket is forced to destroy the fake Center and flee in their balloon. [[Brock's Onix]] stops them and retrieves Ash's Pokémon. After biting a hole into their balloon, Onix sends Team Rocket blasting off again. Afterwards, the group hears that new Pokémon can now be admitted into the Pokémon Center. Ash takes this opportunity to heal his Pokémon.

Later on, Ash is now in the middle of the third round match with [[Pete Pebbleman]] of [[Pewter City]] on the Ice Field, and both Trainers are each down one Pokémon. Ash uses {{AP|Kingler}} for the battle, while Pete uses {{p|Cloyster}} for the battle. Pete orders Cloyster to {{m|Withdraw}} into its spiked shell, helping it defend itself from Kingler's barrage of {{m|Crabhammer}}s. While Ash fears that Kingler will be exhausted, Misty and Brock encourage him to keep going, since Cloyster is still losing health despite the defense boost. Kingler keeps hitting Cloyster with its Crabhammer until Cloyster's shell finally cracks, [[fainting|knocking it out]].

Pete recalls Cloyster and sends out {{p|Arcanine}}. Kingler tries a {{m|Bubble}} attack, but Pete's Arcanine dodges it and uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Kingler is caught in the icy twister, but with Ash's plea, it manages to stand up. Ash still recalls Kingler and sends {{AP|Pikachu}} onto the battlefield. Hoping to confuse his opponent, Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Agility}} and it narrowly evades Arcanine's {{m|Fire Blast}} attacks. Pete soon reveals his strategy: the Fire Blast attacks were meant to melt the field. The technique takes Ash by surprise, but with Brock's suggestion, Ash has Pikachu dive into the water. Misty reminds him that water conducts electricity, so Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, thus defeating Arcanine. With this, Ash claims the victory over Pete and advances to the fourth round.

==Major events==

* [[Ash's Squirtle]] is revealed to know {{m|Withdraw}}.
* {{Ash}} defeats an unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}} and [[Pete Pebbleman]] in his second and third round {{pkmn|battle|matches}}, respectively.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]: [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] tournament format
** Pokémon senryū summary: On the field, choosing the Pokémon, is difficult.
* {{Ash}}'s challenger on the Rock Field is left unnamed in both the Japanese version and English [[dub]].
* {{an|Brock}}'s ability to identify fake [[Nurse Joy]]s is first seen in this episode.
* During the parade scene, [[Type: Wild]] is used as an insert song.
* As Ash is looking for a place to eat, he passes a movie theater with a poster for ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}'', the movie of which he helped produce.
* This is one of the very few times in the {{pkmn|animated series}} that {{TRT}} refers to Ash by his first name instead of "[[twerp]]" or "brat".
* After [[James]] suggests to [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} that he has a plan to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}, Team Rocket [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by saying "So let's all get to work and get on with the show!"
* This episode's title is formatted as ''Fire And Ice'' on the DVD menu of [[List of English language Adventures in the Orange Islands home video releases (Region 4)|Australian DVDs]].

===Errors===
[[File:EP076 error.png|thumb|200px|Brock's miscolored shirt]]
* Pokémon.com's blurb for this episode misspells Poké Balls as ''Pokeballs'', lacking the accent over the "e" and formatted as one word.
* On the posters in the village, the é in Pokémon lacks its accent.
* While Team Rocket is reciting their {{motto}}, the white piece of paper behind them covering part of the "R" is missing the blue design and text.
* {{an|Misty}} says that Brock and Ash need to get all of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} back, but only Ash's Pikachu was stolen.
* The scoreboard prior to Ash's battle on the Ice Field erroneously shows him as the Red Competitor instead of the Green Competitor.
* In one scene, {{p|Nidorino}} attacked without his {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s commands.
* When Brock tells Misty that Ash was "starving", his shirt collar is discolored, making it look like his head is disconnected to the rest of his body.
* Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} should not have work against {{p|Arcanine}}, as ice does not conduct electricity. This is an example of [[animation physics]].
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} dub, when Misty refers to [[HP|Hit Points]], her words are mistranslated as Attack Points (Pontos de Ataque).
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, {{so|Viridian City}} is absent during the parade.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: [[2.B.A. Master]]
* North American DVD releases and [[Pokémon TV]] cut roughly 13 seconds from this episode. Immediately after Ash and Pikachu pass by the movie theater showing ''Pokémon in Love'', there are several shots showing Pokémon-related merchandise, including Clefairy figures, Gengar cotton candy, and Cubone bobbleheads. Pikachu taps the head on one of the bobbleheads, causing it to bob and say its name. Ash and Pikachu laugh and move on. This segment is still present in the broadcast and streaming versions, as well as Australian DVDs.
* Originally, the [[Pokémon Center]] was unable to accept patients due to a big accident instead of due to being full.
* Ash's "collection plate" joke is dub-only; in the original version, he just says he doesn't have any money.
* Ash asks Pikachu if he's practicing to be in the circus while spinning a plate but in the original version, he warns him the people in the restaurant will get angry.
* In the original version, when Brock notices he's not falling in love with the "Nurse Joy" (Jesse in disguise) at Team Rocket's fake Pokémon Center, he comments that usually when he sees a Nurse Joy, his blood pressure rises and his heart races and his face blushes, to which Misty dryly comments that he's strangely calm. In the dub, Brock describing his symptoms is changed to saying that he's dizzy and acts crazy and starts talking in a "really goofy way", prompting Misty to dryly remark that Ash acts that way all the time. Also in the original version, Ash and Misty trigger Team Rocket to recite their motto and blow their cover when they keep asking Brock why he suspects something's wrong with the fake Pokémon Center's Nurse Joy, as Jessie's first line in the Japanese motto is "If you ask us this or that..." The dub changes this so Ash and Misty suggest to Brock that the ''trouble'' is he wasn't ''prepared'' to see all the Nurse Joys he gushed over earlier, since Jessie's first line in the dub motto is "Prepare for trouble."
* In the original version, Team Rocket references getting expensive makeup from [[Hollywood]] (I.e. Jessie's Nurse Joy mask) and having to patch together their older balloons to save money; in the dub, they talk about taking a vacation and leaving with Pikachu as a souvenir.
* The movie posters Ash passes by were originally for ''Pokémon the Movie''.
* During the parade scene, Viridian City replaces Type: Wild as an insert song.
* Misty mentions [[HP|Hit Points]] in the dub, the only time it is referenced in the animated series. She just talks about "taking damage" in the original version, however.
* The "take a dive" misunderstanding was originally referring to a Japanese proverb equivalent to "fortune favors the bold", but with the Japanese word for float (浮かぶ).

The '''Team Rocket motto''' (Japanese: '''ロケット{{tt|団|だん}}の{{tt|名乗|なの}}り''' ''Rocket Gang's self-introduction'') is a motto that [[Team Rocket]] members often recite and/or live by.

==Jessie, James, and Meowth==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} have several mottos, saying one of them in nearly every episode when they reveal themselves to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Early on, they had an irresistible urge to say it whenever hearing the word "trouble", but this seemingly is no longer the case. This motto would usually be said by all members of the trio, but when one of them is not present, another member takes their line.

===[[Original series]]===

The original motto was used from ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]''. The original background music was used until the end of the [[original series]]. The new music debuted in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]''.

Note that the lines "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" and "To extend our reach to the stars above!" were often said by both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in the [[S01|first season]]. In many later episodes, starting from ''[[EP085|Fit To Be Tide]]'', James said "fight, fight, fight" instead of just the singular "fight" at the end of his last line. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} also began saying his name at the end of the motto in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', and has done so in most episodes since. There were many occasions in which the trio would use a radio or something similar to play the background music.

Since [[EP002|the episode Team Rocket was introduced in]], the duo has been rhyming "prepare for trouble" and "make it double" phrases. Also, in almost all episodes after the Orange League, they tend to alter the first two sentences to match the current situation. An example from ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and Meowth filled in for her, is:
:'''Meowth:''' Prepare for trouble, here in the wood...
:'''James:''' ...and make it double like you know that you should!

This version of the motto was used in commercials for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} with each line being said by different children, omitting the parts at which Jessie, James and Meowth say their own names and the line "Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light." This motto was also adapted into the songs [[Team Rocket Forever]] and [[Double Trouble]].

Team Rocket used this motto in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]'', as a return to their "hip and cool" ways, done by only Jessie, James, and Meowth, without the usual ending additions of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr.

This motto was also used in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', where Team Rocket had followed Ash and {{ashcl}} to Kanto during their extracurricular activity.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
[[File:Team Rocket motto AG.png|250px|thumb|Team Rocket at the end of their motto in ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'']]
During the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} saga, Jessie, James, and Meowth changed their motto. This motto was used from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''.

Since the first episode, they have adapted their traditional rhyming phrases "Prepare for trouble" and "Make it double" into the motto, thereby restoring the first two lines of the original motto. James's {{TP|James|Chimecho}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} also contribute their names at the end of the motto in most episodes they appear in.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
[[File:Team Rocket motto DP.png|250px|thumb|Team Rocket at the end of their motto in ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'']]
In [[Sinnoh]], the trio changed to a new motto yet again. This motto was used from ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' to ''[[DP181|Bucking the Treasure Trend!]]''.

| '''ソーナンス:''' {{tt|ソーナンス|Sōnansu}} || '''''Sonans:''' {{tt|Sōnansu!|Of course!}}'' || '''Wobbuffet:''' Wobbuffet!
|}

In the dub, they often replace the first two lines with
:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a twerpish voice I hear?
:'''James:''' It's shrieking to me loud and clear.

:'''Jessie:''' Listen, is that a [[Nurse Joy|pitiful head]] of a [[Pokémon Center|Pokécenter]] I hear?
:'''James:''' It whines to me loud and clear.

or something similar. As in Battle Frontier, Mime Jr. contributes its name after Wobbuffet.

It is notable that the Sinnoh motto is modified more often even in the Japanese version.

In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Jessie, James and Meowth reverted to their original motto with some slight alterations, after having failed in their [[BW096|latest]] [[BW097|operation]] and making a brief retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Starting in ''Adventures in Unova and Beyond'', the motto is altered to the situation.

In [[Alola]], the trio once again changed to a new motto, which debuted in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]''. The Japanese version of the Alolan motto is based on a series of ''{{wp|yojijukugo}}'', a type of Japanese proverb made up of four kanji. In English, the motto is very similar to the Unovan one.

:'''Jessie:''' Instead of causing tribulation...

====Meowth filling in for Jessie or James====
{{incomplete|section|Lyrics}}
On many occasions, because Jessie or James weren't around, Meowth would fill the missing member lines. This first happened in ''[[EP017|Island of Giant Pokémon]]'', when Meowth, along with {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}}, were separated from Jessie and James. When they discover [[Ash's Pikachu]], {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charmander}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}, who were separated from their Trainer as well, Meowth attempted to recite the motto but failed because Jessie and James weren't around. In ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', where Meowth and James were following Misty to get some [[Salveyo Weed]] to heal Jessie from an attack by a wild {{p|Vileplume}}'s {{m|Stun Spore}}. It happened again in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', in which Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Later, in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the Contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', meanwhile Jessie was at an operation room, Meowth and James tried to steal some Pokémon. When Ash and his friend saw them, they said a special motto. Also, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', while James was participating in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] Contest, Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the prize and some Pokémon. When they were spotted by {{ashfr}}, they said their motto. Meanwhile, they were saying that Ash and his friends saved the Pokémon and the prize, leaving Jessie and Meowth really angry. In ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]'', Jessie and Meowth said the motto together, surprising Ash and his friends while they were escorting a lost {{p|Lapras}} back to the ocean. James's absence was later explained by him being waiting further ahead, ready to catch the group off-guard in case they got away.

;''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]''
Jessie was training Seviper, and James, Meowth and Wobbuffet tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], and Meowth and James recite the motto.

:'''Meowth''': "Prepare for trouble," I've always wanted to say!
:'''James''': Huh?
:'''Meowth''': Just do it like you always do, you gotta end in a rhyme.
:'''James''': What?
:'''Meowth''': Oh, come on, I'm Jessie! Prepare for trouble here in the wood!
:'''James''': Make it double like you know that you should!
:'''Meowth''': To protect the world from devastation!
:'''James''': To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Meowth''': To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''James''': To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Meowth''': Meowth!
:'''James''': And James!
:'''Meowth''': Team Rocket, blasts off at the speed of light!
:'''James''': Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!
:'''Wobbuffet''': Wobbuffet!

;''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]''
Jessie and Meowth tried to steal the losing flying Pokémon almost at the end of the Contest, and because James was still participating on it, Meowth and Jessie said the motto all by themselves.

:'''Jessie''': Prepare for trouble as we steal then split!
:'''Meowth''': Make it double as we get away with it!
:'''Jessie''': To protect the world from devastation!
:'''Meowth''': To unite all peoples within our nation!
:'''Jessie''': To denounce the evils of truth and love!
:'''Meowth''': To extend our reach to the stars above!
:'''Jessie''': Jessie!
:'''Meowth''': And Meowth!
:'''Jessie''': Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
:'''Meowth''': So surrender now or prepare to fight!
:'''Wobbuffet''': Wobba...hic!

;''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]''
Jessie was at a contest, so James and Meowth had to say the motto, and steal [[Ash's Pikachu]] and other Pokémon again.

:'''Meowth''': Prepare for trouble, cause we're stealing Pokémon and having a ball!
:'''James''': Make it double, that's all!
:'''Meowth''': Evil as old as the galaxy!
:'''James''': Sent here to fulfill our destiny!
:'''Meowth''': Just look at me!
:'''James''': To denounce the evils of truth and love and extend our reach to the stars above! I'm James!
:'''Meowth''': And I'm Meowth!
:'''James''': Whenever there's peace in the universe, Team Rocket!
:'''Meowth''': Will be there!
:'''Both''': To make everything worse!

==Butch and Cassidy==
[[File:EP057.png|thumb|250px|Butch and Cassidy at the end of their original series motto]]
[[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also have a set of mottos, which are similar to Jessie and James's mottos. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', it is implied to be based on Jessie and James's motto, though in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', they state that theirs is actually the correct version. During [[Pokémon Chronicles]], they add "(now) here's our mission, so ya better listen!" after Butch's first line of their version of the "original" motto. Like Meowth and Wobbuffet, Cassidy's {{p|Raticate}} appears at the end. Apparently, they have switched to a new motto, which is itself similar to Jessie and James's Sinnoh motto, with [[Butch]]'s {{p|Shuckle}} appearing instead of Cassidy's Raticate.

===Sinnoh motto===
[[File:Butch Cassidy motto DP.png|250px|thumb|Butch and Cassidy at the end of their ''Diamond and Pearl'' motto]]
This is the version used in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]''. Because of some of the lines included, it was probably composed especially for whenever the two Team Rocket groups crossed paths.

==Ripoffs==
[[File:Ash Brock Team Rocket.png|thumb|230px|left|Ash and Brock imitating James]]
[[File:Misty Duplica Team Rocket.png|thumb|230px|Misty and Duplica imitating Jessie]]
The motto has been ripped off repeatedly by Ash and {{ashfr}} during the series. The first time it was done was in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'', in which Ash, Misty, and Brock entered the house where Team Rocket was by breaking the windows and by saying the first lines of the motto. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Ash, Misty, and Brock, along with [[Duplica]], put on Team Rocket uniforms and mocked the original motto, with Duplica severely angering the two by saying "ignite" instead of "unite". In ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', [[James's parents]] revealed that they weren't dead by saying the lines "Prepare for trouble!" and "Yes dear, and make it double!".

The director [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] used a motto to introduce himself — "Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!" — with Jessie saying, "Wait a second, aren't those ''our'' lines?" after the first two lines.

In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' when Ash revealed that he was the one in the Mr. Mime costume, the Team Rocket background music was playing. The motto was mockingly mimicked again in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue!]]''. In ''[[EP264|The Mother Of All Battles!]]'', the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] introduced themselves to Ash and the gang in a Team Rocket-style motto. However, there was no background music like in the Rocket's introduction; instead, they only said their names with a big "B" behind them. But even though it was different, Jessie stated that they were just imitating them. Much later, the DP motto was mocked in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'' and ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. Like the many times before, the trio was angered.

In ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Serena}} imitated the motto, angering them once again.

In ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]'', the [[Mirror World]]'s version of [[Mirror Team Rocket|Team Rocket]] performed their own motto, reflecting their heroic characteristics.

In ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', [[Chrysa]] and [[Ren]] performed the motto as members of "Team Cerise" in Ash and [[Goh]]'s combined nightmare caused by a {{p|Darkrai}}.

==Blasting off==
[[File:Blast off SM.png|thumb|240px|Team Rocket after being defeated]]
When defeated, and sent flying off due to a Pokémon's finishing attack (usually {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} or {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}) or a malfunction in [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mechas]], Jessie, James, and Meowth usually cry, {{tt|「やな感じ！」|”Yana kanji!”}} ("This feels bad!") in the original, which was dubbed "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!", "Team Rocket's blasting off again!"{{tt|*|4Kids dub, although the former quote was used in one ''Battle Frontier'' episode}}, or simply "We're blasting off again!"{{tt|*|Used infrequently in the 4Kids dub, but has since been used exclusively in the TPCi dub}} before disappearing into the distance where a twinkle appears. The first time they blasted off was in [[EP002|their debut episode]], and the first time the twinkle was seen was during their following blast off, in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. In some episodes, they said their catchphrase while finishing each other's sentences or when it's told by one character or two.

Blasting off usually happens only one time per episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', in which they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. In ''[[EP093|Naval Maneuvers]]'', when the trio blasts off a second time, they shout "We're blasting off again... ''again!''". Similarly, in ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when they once again blast off a second time, the trio cries out out "We're blasting off twice, but it ain't so nice!" Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket. In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', James blasted off by himself. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off"; however, James noted once that he, Jessie and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

After ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Team Rocket initially didn't blast off during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'' and ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'', they used smoke bombs and disappeared. In ''[[BW005|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]'' they tried to escape using their capsule, but after it gets destroyed by [[Ash's Pikachu]], they escaped using gliders. From ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'' onwards, they usually used jet packs in order to escape. For this reason, those blastoffs weren't against their will nor involved pain, so they did not cry out their famous quote. Also, there was no twinkle visible when the jet packs were used, except for ''Scare at the Litwick Mansion!'' and ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. Starting from ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Team Rocket has blasted off like before, although they didn't say the catchphrase until ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. They still occasionally used their jet packs in some episodes.

Sometimes, when Team Rocket blasts off, they shout something other than "We're blasting off again!", such as in ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'' when instead they shouted "We're blasting off family style!" after being defeated by Dragonite and Charizard, or ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', where they shouted "There's nothing sweet about blasting off! '''''AND WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN!!!'''''" after their Octillery mecha was destroyed. There are also occasions where they do not blast off per se, but they disappear with the trademark twinkle by other means such as running away. In some very rare instances, they blast off without a twinkle, as seen in [[EP002|their debut]], ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'' where they fell into the sea instead, ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', where they get their hair and fur cut short by a Scyther, or ''[[XY027|To Find a Fairy Flower!]]'', where they were relaxed by a {{p|Flabébé}}'s {{m|Aromatherapy}}.

During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', rather than blasting off, {{an|Bewear}} would unexpectedly appear and take the trio away; Jessie, James, and Meowth would cry, {{tt|「何この感じ！？」|”Nani kono kanji!?”}} ("What's with this feeling!?") in response, which was dubbed as "Off with a new blast!". In ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', they were about to blast off, only for Bewear to jump into the air and catch them before the 'ping' sound. ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'' was the first episode where the trio successfully blasted off without interference, although Bewear was able to catch them before they hit the ground. Later, they also successfully blasted off in ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]'' and ''[[SM038|Mimikyu Unmasked!]]''. In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', the trio successfully blasted off without Bewear seizing them in midair or the location where they landed. They were successfully blasted off along with [[Matori]] in ''[[SM122|Spying for the Big Guy!]]'' when they were hit by Pikachu's {{m|Corkscrew Crash}}. In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', after Bewear gives Team Rocket a farewell hug, Bewear spins around in a whirlwind-like effect and successfully sends Team Rocket blasting off into the air, followed by the blast off star and the ping sound. Sometimes, like the previous series, they say other things, like in ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]'', where they say "We're off with a watery blast..." when Bewear takes Team Rocket and lifts it off from underwater, and in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', where they say "And it's lift off with a new blast!" with the same thing, but on land and to the air.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the "Rocket" in Team Rocket is apparently their motto, which is an acronym for:

:'''R'''aid
:'''O'''n
:'''C'''ity
:'''K'''nock out
:'''E'''vil
:'''T'''usks

When translated from Japanese, this motto means, "Attack cities one after another!! Devastate them!! We are the fangs of evil!!"

==In the games==
===In the core series===
During their appearances in {{game|Yellow}}, Jessie and James use parts of their original Kanto motto in their dialogue, as well as their blast off phrase. They never recite the whole thing, however. They say ''"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"'' before their battle at [[Mt. Moon]], and ''"So render yourself invisible, or prepare to fight!"'' before their battle at [[Pokémon Tower]]. Upon being defeated at Mt. Moon, they say ''"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"'', and they say their usual blast off phrase after being defeated in every other encounter thereafter.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], they do not quote their motto, but they do say their usual blast off phrase after every battle, with the exception of their {{rt|17|Kanto}} battle.

===In the spin-off games===
====Pokémon Masters EX====
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Jessie}}, {{mas|James}}, {{MTR}}, and the {{player}} recite the original motto during the limited-time event, Double Trouble. In the follow-up event, Blasting Off Again, the trio recites the same motto again, and also uses their blast off phrase after being defeated and blasted off by the player.

====Pokémon Zany Cards====
In [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], Jessie and James recite their motto from the [[original series]] anime, at the start of the match against them. However, Meowth does not appear at this point, so the phrase "Meowth, that's right!" is not said.

==Trivia==
* Since the middle of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', every motto has its own unique animation.
** Also during ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'', it changed several times due to Team Rocket's constant role changes.
* The original motto has been performed at least once in every [[series]] to date.
* The {{DL||Battle Frontier|motto used during the Battle Frontier saga}} is rather unique since it was also used [[DP002|once]] during the [[S10|Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]] season.
** It was also used in the [[DP001|first episode]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', but it wasn't completed.
* In every one of [[Butch]]'s appearances in the [[original series]]' English [[dub]], he was the one who said the opening line "Prepare for trouble!", which is usually said by the female character. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Butch, along with [[Cassidy]], said "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', he was the one who began the motto showdown by saying "Then prepare for trouble!". In ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', he said alone "Prepare for trouble and make it double!". In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History!]]'', he said "Prepare for trouble, you got that right!". The last time he did this was in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', in which he said "It's time to prepare for trouble!". In [[Pokémon Chronicles]], the motto was dubbed with the Cassidy saying the first line like how it is was in Japanese.
* In the Sinnoh motto, Jessie's section of "A rose by any other name is just as sweet" alludes to Act II Scene II Shakespeare's ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}'', in which Juliet argues:
<blockquote>
What's in a name? that which we call a rose 
By any other name would smell as sweet; 
</blockquote>
: This is a {{wp|A rose by any other name would smell as sweet|commonly quoted phrase}} meaning that the names of things do not matter, only what the thing is. This quote is also the origin of the title for ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''.
* In the Unova motto, Jessie likens herself to {{p|Reshiram}} with the words "white" and "fiery", while James likens himself to {{p|Zekrom}} with "black" and "thunderous".
* The first two lines of the motto were mentioned and said by the Fortune Teller as a warning in an episode of ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'', a show that was also dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment (and also based on a Nintendo franchise). The episode the Fortune Teller appeared in was "The Fofa Factor".
* In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, the original motto was different than usual in Team Rocket's first two appearances (''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' and ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''), where it was translated directly from English without rhyming. The rhyming motto was used for the first time in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.
* In the {{pmin|Portugal|European Portuguese}} dub, the expression "Preparar para azar!", the Portuguese equivalent to "Prepare for trouble!" (which literally translated is "Prepare for bad luck!") is still used in recent episodes as a Team Rocket's catchphrase, even during some mottos.
* In the [[Pokémon in South Korea|Korean]] dub of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', the expressions "{{tt|화안류오 수월폐화|花顔柳腰羞月閉花}}", "{{tt|비룡승운 영자삽상|飛竜乗雲英姿颯爽}}", and "{{tt|일련탁생 연대책임|一蓮托生　連帯責任}}", which are direct {{wp|hanja}} to {{wp|hangul}} translations of the Japanese motto, are given explanations at the bottom of the screen due to the difficulty in understanding these phrases.
* In the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub, the original motto has three variants of translation due to the changes in dubbing companies during the [[original series]], ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', and ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''.
* Toward the end of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game: Trainer Video]], the original motto is recited by various kids. It omits "Prepare for trouble; Make it double," and Meowth's name, and the kids make various mistakes before correcting themselves.
* In airings of ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' on CITV in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, Team Rocket's blast off line is often misquoted in the closed captions as "Off with a new '''plan'''!"
* In the {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American Spanish}} dub, starting from the second season, James would often replace the line "Hasta las estrellas" (the translation for "to the stars above") with random places, most of the time citing places or cities from Latin American locations. The line of "Surrender now or prepare to fight!" would also be replaced by lines of songs from various Latin American performers.
* In the {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} dub, the motto used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' debuted directly in the [[DP001|first episode]] of that series, and in its full version in the [[DP002|next episode]], instead of using the motto from the Battle Frontier saga.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, their catchphrase during blasting off is based on the twinkle that appears after they disappear in the sky.

==Blurb==

Ash's second battle takes place on the Rock Field where he relies on his Squirtle to hopefully take down a Nidorino. In between matches, Ash needs to drop off his Pokémon at the Pokémon Center to have them taken care of. Team Rocket takes this opportunity to make one more attempt at stealing Pikachu. They set up a Pokémon Center of their own and when Ash drops off his Pokeballs, they grab them and run! When he finally gets his Pokémon back, Ash must race to make it to his third match of competition, which will be held on the Ice Field.

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} wins his second preliminary {{pkmn|battle}} on the Rock Field with {{AP|Squirtle}}, it is revealed that {{Gary}} was watching Ash's battle with [[Gary's cheerleaders|his cheerleaders]]. He scoffs at Ash's confidence for winning what he calls two easy matches. Gary walks off while his entourage cheers Ash's name, seemingly jealous and a bit spiteful toward Ash.

{{an|Misty}} later arrives at the group's accommodation, only to notice Ash's absence while {{an|Brock}} takes care of Ash's Pokémon. She criticizes his selfishness, and the two soon reunite with Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who are in midst of searching for a place to eat. Ash soon locates an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant, where he and Misty indulge. During the meal, Pikachu saves {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'s life from falling cutlery, though Misty only sees Pikachu performing a seemingly dangerous stunt. She warns her Pokémon not to follow suit and goes on to criticize Ash's training methods.

Afterwards, Ash and {{ashfr}} search for a [[Pokémon Center]] so Ash can heal his Pokémon before the third round, but they find the Centers are all crowded. Noticing this, {{TRT}} decides to use this opportunity to swipe {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} by opening a fake Pokémon Center. [[James]], disguised in a nurse outfit with a face-mask, lures them into the auspicious building, where Ash submits his Pokémon for healing. However, Brock becomes suspicious when he isn't attracted to the Center's Nurse Joy, who is actually [[Jessie]].

While Ash and his friends are talking, they mention a few keywords that trigger Team Rocket to recite their {{motto}} and reveal themselves. As a result, Team Rocket is forced to destroy the fake Center and flee in their balloon. [[Brock's Onix]] stops them and retrieves Ash's Pokémon. After biting a hole into their balloon, Onix sends Team Rocket blasting off again. Afterwards, the group hears that new Pokémon can now be admitted into the Pokémon Center. Ash takes this opportunity to heal his Pokémon.

Later on, Ash is now in the middle of the third round match with [[Pete Pebbleman]] of [[Pewter City]] on the Ice Field, and both Trainers are each down one Pokémon. Ash uses {{AP|Kingler}} for the battle, while Pete uses {{p|Cloyster}} for the battle. Pete orders Cloyster to {{m|Withdraw}} into its spiked shell, helping it defend itself from Kingler's barrage of {{m|Crabhammer}}s. While Ash fears that Kingler will be exhausted, Misty and Brock encourage him to keep going, since Cloyster is still losing health despite the defense boost. Kingler keeps hitting Cloyster with its Crabhammer until Cloyster's shell finally cracks, [[fainting|knocking it out]].

Pete recalls Cloyster and sends out {{p|Arcanine}}. Kingler tries a {{m|Bubble}} attack, but Pete's Arcanine dodges it and uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Kingler is caught in the icy twister, but with Ash's plea, it manages to stand up. Ash still recalls Kingler and sends {{AP|Pikachu}} onto the battlefield. Hoping to confuse his opponent, Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Agility}} and it narrowly evades Arcanine's {{m|Fire Blast}} attacks. Pete soon reveals his strategy: the Fire Blast attacks were meant to melt the field. The technique takes Ash by surprise, but with Brock's suggestion, Ash has Pikachu dive into the water. Misty reminds him that water conducts electricity, so Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, thus defeating Arcanine. With this, Ash claims the victory over Pete and advances to the fourth round.

* [[Ash's Squirtle]] is revealed to know {{m|Withdraw}}.
* {{Ash}} defeats an unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}} and [[Pete Pebbleman]] in his second and third round {{pkmn|battle|matches}}, respectively.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]: [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] tournament format
** Pokémon senryū summary: On the field, choosing the Pokémon, is difficult.
* {{Ash}}'s challenger on the Rock Field is left unnamed in both the Japanese version and English [[dub]].
* {{an|Brock}}'s ability to identify fake [[Nurse Joy]]s is first seen in this episode.
* During the parade scene, [[Type: Wild]] is used as an insert song.
* As Ash is looking for a place to eat, he passes a movie theater with a poster for ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}'', the movie of which he helped produce.
* This is one of the very few times in the {{pkmn|anime}} that {{TRT}} refers to Ash by his first name instead of "[[twerp]]" or "brat".
* After [[James]] suggests to [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} that he has a plan to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}, Team Rocket [[Breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] by saying "So let's all get to work and get on with the show!"
* This episode's title is formatted as ''Fire And Ice'' on the DVD menu of [[List of English language Adventures in the Orange Islands home video releases (Region 4)|Australian DVDs]].

===Errors===
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} dub version, when Misty refers to Hit Points her words are mistranslated as Attack Points (Pontos de Ataque).
* On the posters in the village, the é in Pokémon lacks its accent.
* While Team Rocket is reciting their motto, the white piece of paper behind them covering part of the "R" is missing the blue design and text.
* As the [[Officer Jenny]]s run past Ash and Misty, Ash comments on the large amount of them. However, when a group of Nurse Joys run past, Misty calls them Officer Jennys instead.
* Misty says that Brock and Ash need to get all of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} back, but only Ash's Pikachu was stolen.
* The scoreboard prior to Ash's battle on the Ice Field erroneously shows him as the Red Competitor on the right side when he's the Green Competitor on the right side.
* In one scene, {{p|Nidorino}} only attacked without his {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s commands.
* When Brock tells Misty that Ash was "starving", Brock's shirt collar is discolored, making it look like his head is disconnected to the rest of his body.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, "Viridan City" is absent during the parade.
* Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} should not have work against {{p|Arcanine}}, as ice does not conduct electricity. This is an example of [[anime physics]].

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: [[2.B.A. Master]]
* North American DVD releases and [[Pokémon TV]] cut roughly 13 seconds from this episode. Immediately after Ash and Pikachu pass by the movie theater showing ''Pokémon in Love'', there are several shots showing Pokémon-related merchandise, including Clefairy figures, Gengar cotton candy, and Cubone bobbleheads. Pikachu taps the head on one of the bobbleheads, causing it to bob and say its name. Ash and Pikachu laugh and move on. This segment is still present in the broadcast and streaming versions, as well as Australian DVDs.
* Originally, the [[Pokémon Center]] was unable to accept patients due to a big accident instead of due to being full.
* Ash's "collection plate" joke is dub-only; in the original version, he just says he doesn't have any money.
* Ash asks Pikachu if he's practicing to be in the circus while spinning a plate but in the original version, he warns him the people in the restaurant will get angry.
* In the original version, Ash and Misty trigger Team Rocket to recite their motto and blow their cover when they keep asking Brock why he suspects something's wrong with the fake Pokémon Center's Nurse Joy (Jessie in disguise), as Jessie's first line in the Japanese motto is "If you ask us this or that..." The dub changes this so Ash and Misty suggest to Brock that the ''trouble'' is he wasn't ''prepared'' to see this "Nurse Joy", since Jessie's first line in the dub motto is "Prepare for trouble."
* In the original version, Team Rocket references getting expensive makeup from [[Hollywood]] (I.e. Jessie's Nurse Joy mask) and having to patch together their older balloons to save money; in the dub, they talk about taking a vacation and leaving with Pikachu as a souvenir.
* The movie posters Ash passes by were originally for ''Pokémon the Movie''.
* During the parade scene, {{so|Viridian City}} replaces Type: Wild as an insert song.
* {{an|Misty}} mentions [[HP|Hit Points]] in the dub, the only time it is referenced in the anime. She just talks about "taking damage" in the original version, however.
* The "take a dive" misunderstanding was originally referring to a Japanese proverb equivalent to "fortune favors the bold", but with the Japanese word for float (浮かぶ).

==Blurb==

As our heroes and Team Rocket beat the odds by surviving the sinking ship, they are dragged into another potentially deadly situation when they are attacked by the ferocious Pokémon, Gyarados. One Gyarados becomes many and Ash, friends and foe are swept up in a tornado landing them in various locations on an island. Ash loses Pikachu and the Poké Balls containing Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur. Jessie and James from Team Rocket, who land in another remote part of the island, also lose their Pokémon. Thus both Pokémon and their masters are left searching for each other on this strange island, inhabited by gigantic Pokémon. Where could this island be?

==Plot==
After the attack caused by a group of {{p|Gyarados}} in [[EP016|the last episode]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} end up on an island, where they realize that four of Ash's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, are missing. On another side of the island, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are awakened by a {{p|Krabby}} to find their Pokémon, including {{MTR}}, are missing. They try to call for help in a phone booth, but they soon remember they don't have any money. On another part of the island, a separated Pikachu finds the {{i|Poké Ball}}s of the separated Pokémon and releases {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charmander}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}. They then see a {{p|Slowpoke}} fishing in the sea with its tail. Pikachu and Charmander decide to ask for help, with little result, while Bulbasaur and Squirtle relax on the beach.

While trying to find Ash and the others, Ash's Pokémon are found by {{TRT}}'s Pokémon, {{TP|James|Koffing}}, {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, and {{MTR}}. Meowth tells Koffing and Ekans to attack Ash's Pokémon, only to find out they won't battle for him because he is not their "master". They also tell him that they are not bad guys and only take bad orders from their masters, much to Meowth's dismay, leaving him unable to battle Ash's Pokémon. Each side tells the other about their missing Trainers and Koffing and Ekans get visibly upset when Bulbasaur mentions that their Trainers may have abandoned them. Pikachu immediately refutes the very idea, telling Bulbasaur that Ash would never do something like that. The two sets of Pokémon join together to find their Trainers. Meanwhile, Meowth is tied up for what he has done to Pikachu and the others in the past. While they are eating, a giant {{p|Rhydon}} frightens them. The Pokémon escape, accidentally leaving Meowth tied up. Pikachu unties Meowth so he can escape. Meowth shows no gratitude for Pikachu's action, instead pushing him and saying that he could have got out himself. At the same time, Ash and his friends are being chased by a giant {{p|Zapdos}}. They soon elude it and decide to rest for the night. Ash vows to find his Pokémon no matter what. Meanwhile, Jessie and James are being chased by a huge {{p|Moltres}}. They run into a sign and are both knocked out, causing them to escape the Moltres.

The next day, Team Rocket runs back to the phone booth and Jessie makes a phone call. When James tells her that they don't have money, she says they are calling {{an|Giovanni|the boss}} by collect. They annoy him with their motto, causing him to hang up on them. Jessie and James then use a wire to get help by pulling on it while inside, hoping it will lead to the phone company. They see a {{p|Pikachu}} and decide to catch it, not realizing until it is too late that it is in fact a giant Pikachu. At the same time, Ash and his friends run behind a rock after being attacked by a giant {{p|Charizard}}. Meanwhile, the Pokémon, still searching for Ash and Team Rocket (and having agreed to a truce until they find them), come across a giant {{p|Blastoise}}. Squirtle is forced to ask it for directions by the other Pokémon, something that it's not too happy to do. Squirtle tries to start up a conversation with the giant Blastoise but it gets attacked by its {{m|Hydro Pump}}. They then see a giant {{p|Venusaur}}. Squirtle asks Bulbasaur to seek help from it as Squirtle thinks it's one of Bulbasaur's relatives. Bulbasaur is too afraid to ask the Venusaur and so says that it's an orphan and has no family, to which Squirtle decides to call it a "coward." Team Rocket, still pulling the telephone wire, are now being chased by a huge {{p|Kabutops}}. They decide to jump into a rail cart to get away. It starts moving but begins to head backwards toward the Kabutops, rather than away from it. It gets its foot tied in the wire and is dragged after Team Rocket. Then Ash and his friends find the giant Pikachu, which is then knocked down because of Team Rocket and the trailing wire on the rail cart. Ash and his friends fall into the cart with Team Rocket inside. Then, they see their Pokémon chased by a giant Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. The Pokémon manage to jump to their Trainers and are at last reunited. Next, the cart is sent flying into the air because of a giant loop in the rail tracks causing them to crash into the giant Zapdos which they then discover to be robotic. Soon all the other giant robot Pokémon crash into each other and lie broken in a massive pile on the beach. Then the rail cart crashes into the water. A Gyarados-shaped boat approaches the island. Inside, a woman introduces what appears to be tourists on the boat to Pokémon Land. However, upon noticing the damaged Pokémon, apologizes and then makes a call. It is revealed that the island is actually an amusement park owned by Team Rocket's boss, Giovanni, who isn't too happy with the destruction of Pokémon Land.

Ash and his friends resume their journey, ending up in [[Porta Vista]]. Meanwhile, the Slowpoke from earlier is still sitting on the rocks. It stands up, revealing a {{p|Shellder}} attached to its tail. The newly [[Evolution|evolved]] {{p|Slowbro}} looks onward and says its name proudly.

==Major events==

* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] reveal that {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}} were given to them as {{wp|chūgen}} (the Ghost Festival) and {{jwp|歳暮|oseibo}} (Year-End gift giving) presents, respectively.

==Trivia==
* This is the only episode where subtitles were used to translate what the Pokémon were saying.
** In some non-English dubs, the Pokémon used human language or voice-overs and the English subtitles were kept, while in some dubs, the English subtitles were translated into subtitles of the respective languages.
* In the Japanese version of this episode, some Pokémon had their genders revealed through the subtitles: {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} were implied to be male due to using a first person pronoun almost exclusively used by males.
* This is the first episode where the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment is different in the English version than the Japanese version.
* The picture used during the Who's That Pokémon? segment in the Japanese version shows a [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real fish]] biting {{p|Slowpoke}}'s tail.
* {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and Meowth appeared to get drunk at the stand, which is backed up by somebody talking to a "barkeep" in the original episode.
* The music that plays during Pokémon Land- tour is the same that plays when [[S.S. Anne]] leaves the port in the game.
* The robotic Moltres that chased Team Rocket and the robotic Rhydon were the only giant Pokémon that were not seen to be destroyed, although Giovanni's phone call implied that they were indeed destroyed as well.
** [[Island of the Giant Pokémon (book)|The book adaptation]], however, does have the robotic Rhydon being tripped alongside the other robotic Pokémon as well.
* Even though {{Ash}} was never shown to find {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charmander}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}'s {{i|Poké Ball}}s, he doesn't seem to have lost them.
* Slowbro says "Slowpoke" at the end of the episode, before realizing it had evolved. This implies that even Pokémon without training are able to say some things that aren't their own name, at the very least the names of their previous forms. However, this is probably just an example of Slowpoke and Slowbro being slow-witted.
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 4: Squirtle'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book {{book|Island of the Giant Pokémon}}.
* More Pokémon's [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]] images come from this episode than any other episode, providing the images for {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Rhydon}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, and {{p|Slowbro}}. Out of these, only Slowbro and Meowth were actual Pokémon.
* In India, when this episode aired on CN, the Pokémon were given voice overs even though the subtitles were kept. When it was aired on Hungama, the Pokémon did not receive voice overs even though the subtitles were removed. This made it difficult to understand the Pokémon speech.
* Despite Ekans explicitly stating that there was no such thing as an evil Pokémon in this episode, future episodes disproved that idea, most notably {{p|Togepi}} in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' and {{an|Malamar}} in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.
* This episode contains one of the few instances of Pokémon eating humans being mentioned (by {{AP|Squirtle}}, who jokingly claimed that {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} may have been eaten by wild Pokémon, which {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Charmander}} didn't find funny at all and told him to stop talking that way).
* The plot of Ash and {{ashfr}} washing up on an island, supposedly filled with giant Pokémon could be a reference to the film ''{{wp|Mysterious Island}}'', where people get stranded on an island, with creatures, which have been genetically enhanced to be giant.
* What Jessie says about the sand in the Japanese version near the start of the episode is a reference to the poem "A Handful of Sand" by famous Japanese poet {{wp|Takuboku Ishikawa}}.
* This episode was skipped in {{pmin|Brazil}} during the 2018 rotation of the anime on RedeTV!.
* This is the third episode to depict evolution in a completely different manner to the usual glow effect, after ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'' and ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''. The ending of the episode simply has Slowpoke proceed to stand up and fish a shell out via his tail.
* Jessie and James mention they got their Pokemon for her last birthday and an oseibo gift (Christmas in the English dub), respectively. Years later in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], it would be specified that the one who gave {{TP|James|Koffing}} to James was Giovanni. Given this, it is implied that Pokémon can be given as gifts.

===Errors===
[[File:Giant Pokémon.png|thumb|210px|The mechanical Blastoise's miscolored jaw]]
* One of Squirtle's captions does not capitalize Pokémon, thus leaving it as "pokémon".
** Also, as Pikachu stumbles across Ash's Poké Balls, he says "Poké Balls" without the accented "é", making it "Poke Balls".
* When Team Rocket are about to use the brakes on the cart, they say "pull", but they push the lever.
* After all the Pokémon jumped in the moving cart, when Jessie and James are hugging Koffing and Ekans, their gloves are missing.
* When James and Jessie see Meowth, James has no pupils when he cries.
* When the Pokémon jump into the moving cart, Misty catches Squirtle and Brock catches Charmander and Bulbasaur. However, when the cart falls towards the water, Misty is shown holding Charmander while Brock is holding Squirtle and Bulbasaur.
* When James is explaining about their recent run of bad luck, Jessie's earrings and lipstick are gone.
* After the scene when the cable is about to snap, Meowth's paws are brown instead of white.
* When the destroyed robots are shown, the Blastoise robot's bottom jaw is miscolored.
* At the very end, when Brock, Ash, and Misty are seen walking a path, Ash's gloves are missing. Just afterward they reappear, only to disappear once more as the three are running towards Porta Vista.
* When showing that the Pokémon were running on the right side of the cart, when the Pokémon jumped, they were shown jumping from the left.
* When the group fell into the water, Charmander was still out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and its tail was completely submerged, yet the flame did not go out. This happened again, as a Charizard, in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]''.
** In addition, Ekans and Koffing are missing as the cart flies off the rails and falls into the water.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 2
* In the dub, Jessie and James reveal that Ekans and Koffing were given to them as [[birthday]] and [[Christmas]] presents, respectively.
* For subsequent dubs, the text and the Pokémon sounds were deleted and replaced with text/sounds clarifying what they're talking about for non-English speakers. For example: the Latin Spanish version was dubbed over, and the Brazilian Portuguese version was subtitled.
* The scene where Krabby and Slowpoke appear also had them with subtitles in the Japanese version as well.
* Meowth's reaction actually had two interpretations in the Japanese version. One implies that he has a master, and one states that he doesn't have a master.
* The word Oden is removed from the stand.
** Also, the scene where the Pokémon were at the Oden was not translated. The translation of the scene is as follows:
::。。。にんげんなんてさあ
:: ''...those darn humans''

::。。。にんげんなんてさあ
::''...those darn humans''

::いないいないばあ
::''Peek-a-boo''

::。。。にんげんなんてさあ
:: ''...those darn humans''

::わるいひとばかりじゃないんだしさあ
::''Not all people are bad''

::まあまあ。。。
::''Now now...''

::げんきをだして
::''Cheer up''

::わかる
::''I understand''

::わかるよ
::''I understand ya''

::それがよのなかさ
::''That's just how the world is''

::な、おやじ。。。
::''Hey, barkeep..''.

:* There was also a subtitle that told the time.
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, when Meowth points out that (the mechanical) Blastoise is the evolved form of Squirtle, he pronounces it "Baltoise".
* Jessie apologizes to the Kabutops mecha when the cart's cable tripped it in the Japanese version.
* When Jessie and James were making the collect call to {{an|Giovanni}}, they originally asked to be saved and then recited the motto, only to be reminded that they had an advanced payment. Due to the way the motto was triggered in the Japanese version (in this case, Giovanni questioning their request), this was changed in the dub to simply wanting to do the introduction first, with Giovanni expressing his annoyance with their nonsense.
* In the original Japanese version, the giant robot Pikachu lets out a deep, menacing roar as Ash and his friends confront it. The dub changes this so the robot Pikachu instead plays a recording of an actual Pikachu's cry (a recycled sound byte of Ash's Pikachu with an echo effect added).
* The digital effect of Giovanni's voice was dub-only.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub on [[Netflix]], the Pokémon speech is translated with subtitles. In the original Polish dub, the speech was read by the [[narrator]] instead.

==Trivia==
* The original airing of What Kind of Pokémon Are You? on [[Pikachu's Jukebox]] used the original first verse, but due to "grass" being mistaken for the word "ass", the DVD releases of Pikachu's Jukebox use the end of the third verse (with {{p|Dratini}}) instead. This results in both Dratini and the {{t|Dragon}} type being mentioned twice, but no mention of the {{t|Grass}} type.
* {{p|Jynx}} can still be seen in her original, {{pkmn|controversy|controversial design}} in the music video.
* Also in the music video, the footage of Dratini and {{p|Dragonair}} are from the [[Banned episodes|banned episode]] [[EP035]]. Footage from the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]] segments is also shown, specifically [[Professor Oak (anime)|Oak]] pulling his computer's lever and the computer's display.
* Sheet music for this song is included in {{book|Pokémon 2.B.A. Master|the Pokémon 2.B.A. Master piano book}}, [[Pokémon Five-Finger Piano]] and [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master: Recorder Fun!]].

Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture

2022-03-19T20:51:09Z

Wile e2005:

{{incomplete|2=Missing senryūs}}
{{translation notice}}
[[File:Professor Oak poem.png|thumb|Professor Oak reciting a Pokémon senryū]]
'''Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture''' (Japanese: '''オーキド博士のポケモン講座''' ''Doctor Okido's Pokémon Lecture'') is a segment featured at the end of {{pkmn|anime}} episodes in Japan during the [[original series]] and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. It was featured from [[EP061]] to [[AG104]], and it was succeeded by the [[Pokémon Trivia Quiz]]. Professor Oak's lectures returned at the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' with [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]].

Generally, the lecture will start with {{an|Professor Oak}} using the reels of a {{wp|slot machine}} to show the silhouette of a [[Pokémon]]. The display on his computer will switch to show the image of the Pokémon, surrounded by some general information. He will then show some clips of the Pokémon in the anime as he discusses it. After this, he will show a live example of the Pokémon in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]]. Frequently, he will (unintentionally) do something to upset the Pokémon which responds by attacking or hurt him shortly after. The lecture sometimes closes with Professor Oak reciting a Pokémon senryū. There are also some special lectures, such as those which will promote an upcoming {{pkmn|movie}} or discuss one of the characters.

'''Pokémon {{wp|senryū}}''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン川柳''') are {{wp|haiku}}-like poems about Pokémon or Pokémon-related themes. Composing them is a hobby of Professor Oak usually used to close his lectures in the anime. Senryū are generally light-hearted or humorous, and they consist of three lines with 17 or fewer {{wp|morae}}. Unlike haiku, senryū do not require a {{wp|kigo}} (season word). The art form was created in the {{wp|Edo era}} of real-world Japan by Senryū Karai (柄井川柳, 1718-1790).

The segment has never been used in the English dub and those based on it, though footage from the lecture of {{p|Alakazam}} was used to introduce the VHS release of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Also, segments for Slowpoke, Starmie, and Marowak were dubbed for a promotional VHS tape called "[[Pokémon Insider: The Video]]." Footage from the lecture of {{p|Entei}} was also used on a promotional CD-ROM released in the UK to promote {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. Footage has also been used in promos for Kids' WB!, such as ''Kids' WB! Top 20 Pokéthon Countdown 1999'', and the footage of Oak pulling his computer's lever and the computer's display was also used in the ''[[Pikachu's Jukebox]]'' music video for "[[What Kind of Pokémon Are You?]]"

==Trivia==
* A precursor to this segment, "Pokémon Valuable Information", aired alongside [[EP052]] and [[EP053]], covering [[M01]].
* This segment was digitally animated from the beginning, even though proper episodes switched to digital coloring only in [[EP261]].
* Between [[EP061]] and [[AG090]], all but five Generation I and II Pokémon are given a lecture. The five omitted are {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Porygon2}}. Kadabra may have been omitted because of [[Pokémon_controversy#Uri_Geller|the issues with]] {{wp|Uri Geller}}, Porygon and Porygon2 due to the [[EP038]] incident, and Mew and Mewtwo due to their status as the most unknown legendary Pokémon in the anime.
* The senryū for [[EP083]] is a reference to the Japanese proverb ''[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/jishin_kaminari_kaji_oyaji jishin kaminari kaji oyaji]''.

==Blurb==

After leaving Acapulco in search of Saffron City, our heroes finally arrive at a small port town in the middle of celebrating a summer festival. In order to recover from their hard journey, Ash and his party decide to participate in the festival. Team Rocket's interest in the festivities, on the other hand, is purely monetary. Brock and James are both bewitched by a picture scroll shown in a shrine open only on the day of the summer festival. The picture depicts a beautiful young maiden in a scene from the legend of Maiden Rock—a point on a cape near the town. According to the priest's explanation, the girl in the picture lived 2,000 years ago, and awaited the return of a lover captured in battle, until she finally turned into stone. Every year at this season, the ghost of this girl steals the spirit of a young man and this year it is James' and Brock's turn. What could the ghost possibly be after? And what is its true identity?

==Plot==
Traveling by ferry from the holiday resort of [[Porta Vista]] to [[Maiden's Peak]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} find out that they have arrived in time for the annual [[Summer Festival]]. When they decide to go and enjoy it, {{an|Brock}} sees a beautiful girl, with flowing purple hair and a red flower, standing on a nearby pier. He immediately falls in love with her, but after being run over by a group of tourists, he notices that the girl has disappeared. {{AP|Pikachu}} is the only one that seems to notice the girl is actually a {{p|Gastly}}, but Ash and {{an|Misty}} don't seem to notice her at all.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} follows Ash and his friends to Maiden's Peak. They come up with an idea to look around for dropped coins, and while pondering it, [[James]] sees the same girl Brock saw before, only by the water. [[Jessie]] slaps James to regain his attention. As they leave to look for the coins, James takes a final look at the dock, noticing the disappearance of the girl. During the festival, Ash and his friends meet an old lady. She warns Brock that he should beware a young, beautiful girl who will lead him to a cruel fate. After the old lady insults Misty and Misty decides that they should be somewhere else instead of being insulted and drags off Ash and Brock with her. Meanwhile, Team Rocket puts their plan into action, though they do not seem to find anything. Then, James notices a penny lying on the walkway and goes to retrieve it, but is interrupted by the old lady, which Ash and company met just a moment ago. As in the case of Brock, she mentions the young girl to James. Then an [[Officer Jenny]] appears and takes the coin James found. When she suggests that they go down to the station with her to fill out a report, Team Rocket stammers that it is all right, they do not need to go down to the station, and then they flee the scene.

Both Ash's group and Team Rocket head for the Shrine of the Maiden. They see the shrine's greatest treasure, a 2,000-year-old painting of the maiden. Brock and James both realize that the girl in the painting is the same girl they saw before, and both attempt to approach the painting but are blocked by the man presenting the painting to the audience. He then tells the story of the maiden, who waited on the cliff for her loved one to return from the war, and eventually turned into stone. The two groups go to take a closer look at the aforementioned cliff, and {{MTR}} formulates a plan to steal the painting, with the intention of selling it for a lot of money, later that evening. As night falls, Brock is still at the cliff. Misty and Ash leave to enjoy the festival while Brock insists on staying at the cliff-side. When it is about time for the local [[Pokémon Center]] to lock the doors for the night, Brock still has not returned from the cliff, so Ash decides to go look for him, but [[Nurse Joy]] holds him back, giving Ash a short lecture on the importance of sleep.

In the middle of the night, {{MTR}} tries to wake up Jessie and James so they can try to steal the painting, but the two are not very eager to wake up. Suddenly a strong wind blows, and the doors of the Maiden's Shrine open. The ghost of the maiden floats out, causes Meowth to fall asleep and then wakes up James. She also shows herself to Brock, telling him that she's been waiting for him. Brock replies that he has been waiting, too. Ash and Misty start looking for Brock the next morning, while Meowth and Jessie search for James. Ash and Jessie then meet face-to-face and notice that they both are looking for a missing person. Jessie performs the Team Rocket motto all alone, but then hears James saying his lines. James and later Brock are thrown out of the shrine. As they all try to return Brock and James normal, the old lady appears again, reminding them of her warning about the ghost of the maiden. Ash's Pikachu shocks James and Brock, and the two finally revert to their normal selves. They all head inside, and the old lady states that all young men have fallen into the curse while passing through Maiden's Peak. They decide to protect themselves from the ghost by buying a large quantity of {{wp|ofuda}} or anti-ghost stickers and placing them around the shrine and the two cursed ones. However, when night comes, they note that the stickers do not work, and just like the previous night, the ghost of the maiden appears. Ash and others try to prevent Brock and James from being pulled out by the maiden.

After being shot with a bazooka by Jessie, the ghost of the maiden summons several skull-like ghostly apparitions. Ash tries to identify them with his [[Pokédex]], but with no results. However, the Pokédex is still searching for one and when Ash points the Pokédex at the ghost of the maiden, it identifies her as a {{p|Gastly}}, who is impersonating the old lady as well. Since Gastly's disguise has been revealed, it transforms back to its normal form. Ash then challenges it to a {{pkmn|battle}}. Ash commands Pikachu to start the battle, but Gastly summons a living mouse trap to scare Pikachu off. Meowth states that mouse traps do not work on him, but Gastly summons a ball for him to play with, distracting him. Jessie then sends out {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, only for it to be scared off by Gastly's newly summoned mongoose. James commands his {{TP|James|Koffing}} to attack with the {{m|Poison Gas}} attack, but the mongoose puts on a gas mask and stomps Koffing down.

Ash decides that it is his turn again and calls out {{AP|Charmander}}. Gastly summons a fire extinguisher, and Ash quickly recalls Charmander. He then summons his {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, but Gastly summons a {{p|Venusaur}} and a {{p|Blastoise}}, which causes Ash's Pokémon to become too scared to do anything, and just because it thinks it is fun, it combines them into a hybrid called "Venustoise". After repeatedly being beaten by Gastly, Misty tries another strategy. She uses a cross, garlic, a stake, and a hammer, comparing Gastly to a vampire. However, the sun starts to rise once again, and as Gastly hates sunlight, it disappears, saying that the ghost of the maiden and the old woman will return for next year's festival. On the following night, the festival continues, with lantern boats sent out to sea to help guide any wandering spirits. Ash and his friends have fun, and everything is back to normal. As the episode ends, the true ghost of the maiden emerges from her stone self, thanking Gastly for keeping her legend alive and hoping her true love will return.

==Trivia==
[[File:Mongoose anime.png|thumb|200px|The mongoose]]
* The priest says the great war the maiden's lover went off to happened 2,000 years before the episode's events.
* One of the creatures {{p|Gastly}} transforms into is a [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real-world animal]]: {{wp|mongoose}}.
* While the {{p|Venusaur}} and {{p|Blastoise}} that Gastly summoned transform into "Venustoise," they appear to be performing the [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Fusion_Dance Fusion Dance].
* The outfits that {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} wear during the festival reappear in the fourth [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending song]], [[Pokémon Ondo]].
* The similarly named Maiden Peak is a real mountain in {{wp|Oregon}}.
* The [[Maiden's Peak]] statue is almost identical to the Orichalcum statue that was a plot device in early episodes of the ''{{wp|Slayers}}'' anime series.
* There are many Japanese cultural references in this episode, especially during the festival at the end.
* The festival is the first time Misty is seen with her hair down.
* The {{p|Gastly}} in this episode is the only known one to date that is able to speak and shape-shift.
* This is the first episode to feature another Pokémon, other than {{MTR}}, that is able to [[Talking Pokémon|talk]] without telepathy. The second is ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]''.
* The kanji on the fire extinguisher Gastly uses to extinguish Ash's Charmander's tail flame was left unedited in the dub.
* In the {{pmin|the Arab world|Arabic}} [[dub]], this episode was removed for unknown reasons, likely because of the extensive representation of Shinto religious elements in ways that are against Islamic culture. It was also removed from the {{pmin|South Korea|Korean dub}}.
* The festival in this episode bears a striking resemblance to the one from the 1993 OVA ''{{wp|Mega Man: Upon a Star}}''. However, in this festival, there is no Whack-a-Mole.
* This is the first episode to show a real {{OBP|ghost|literal}}, as the true spirit of the Maiden speaks with Gastly near the end.

===Errors===
[[File:EP020 Error.png|thumb|200px|Ash's miscolored hat]]
* James commands his {{TP|James|Koffing}} to use {{m|Poison Gas}}, which Koffing could [[Anime move errors|not legally learn]] in a [[Generation I]] game unless it was [[trade]]d back from [[Generation II]]. At the time of the episode's original airing, no Generation II game had been released yet, meaning that at the time of this episode airing, Koffing was completely unable to learn Poison Gas by any means.
* When Ash says "We lose. It's just too strong", the red part that adjusts the size of [[Ash's hat|his hat]] is white.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 5 (Version 2)
* The fan that Misty held had its kanji erased.
* Misty (or, at least, someone who sounded suspiciously like her) shouted "Let's go to the ferris wheel!" twice in the scene; specifically, right up to the part where Brock says "She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen...".
* James finds a United States penny on the ground which was originally a ¥5 coin in the Japanese version. However, the ¥1000 and ¥5000 bills in the old woman's cash register were left unchanged.
* James mentions the F.B.I when he encounters [[Officer Jenny]].
* The Japanese version features a background music track that is a rearrangement of the theme that plays in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in the first-generation games (it's Track 31 on the ''[[Pocket Monsters Sound Anime Collection]]'' labeled as 眩惑の美女, "Dazzlingly Beautiful Girl"). This cue does not play in the dub, and is replaced with some of 4Kids's own dub-exclusive music. Additionally, the Japanese version is noticeably sparse on background music, with many other scenes simply having silence in the background, so the dub fills most of these gaps with 4Kids's own music.
* The {{wp|o-fuda}} they wear are referred to as "anti-ghost stickers" in the dub.
* Brock's "Hey! Let me go!" line in the dub was actually "You guys...!" in the Japanese version. The original version implied that Brock was in a trance and his friends broke the trance.
* Ash says that, since Gastly is a Pokémon, he can battle it with his Pokémon in the Japanese version.
* The ball that {{MTR}} was playing with had the word "Matatabi", meaning "catnip", which was erased from the dub.
* The mongoose says "mongoose" in the vein of a Pokémon in the original version instead of "Dinner time!".
* The final scene of the festival has a version of the song "[[Pokémon Ondo]]" being sung in the background, which is again removed from the dub (only leaving in Team Rocket's drum and flute.)

'''Metapod''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トランセル''' ''Transel'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Caterpie}} starting at [[level]] 7 and evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
Metapod is a Pokémon that resembles a green {{wp|chrysalis}}. Its body is crescent-shaped with several segments making up the lower point. The front of its shell resembles a face with heavy-lidded eyes and a sharply pointed nose. The back of its shell consists of several geometrically shaped portions and projections.

Its soft body is protected by a hard outer shell while it undergoes {{wp|metamorphosis}}. While this shell is said to be as hard as steel, a sudden, powerful impact could cause its liquid innards to pop out, leaving it completely exposed. Metapod generally remains motionless, rebuilding its cells for evolution. If an enemy discovers Metapod, it is unable to do anything other than harden its outer shell. Metapod lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}. {{p|Pikipek}} is a natural predator of Metapod.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Goh Metapod.png|thumb|left|250px|Metapod in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Metapod evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|Metapod's original evolution method in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Metapod]]=====
{{Ash}} had a Metapod that he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a {{p|Caterpie}} and evolved in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', thus also marking the species' debut. It eventually evolved into {{p|Butterfree}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', following an attack by a horde of {{p|Beedrill}}.

Metapod also appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. It evolved from Caterpie during a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{p|Pinsir}} and later evolved into Butterfree after a battle against {{p|Primeape}}.

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', [[Samurai]]'s Metapod battled Ash's own Metapod, but because both Metapod only knew {{m|Harden}}, the battle went on for hours until a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} forced the battle to end.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', [[Bugsy]] used a Metapod during his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash, facing {{AP|Chikorita}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} before being defeated by the latter's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Unlike most Metapod, this one was actually able to fight back by using {{m|Tackle}}. More Metapod were seen inside the [[Azalea Gym]] in the same episode.

In ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', [[Zander]]'s Caterpie evolved into a Metapod. It knocked down part of a radio tower so it could have a place to evolve at all, having become {{pkmn2|giant}} after eating some enhanced [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]]. It later evolved again to become a Butterfree.

In ''[[BW130|Butterfree and Me!]]'', multiple Metapod evolved into Butterfree on [[Wayfarer Island]]. One Metapod had been befriended by Ash as a Caterpie, and Ash helped it eventually evolve into Butterfree.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', Ash and [[Sam]] witnessed multiple Metapod evolving into Butterfree.

A Metapod appeared in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', a Metapod was among the {{type|Bug}} populace of [[Murcott Island]].

A {{pkmn2|wild}} Metapod appeared in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''.

In ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]'', a Metapod was one of the illusions created by a group of {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}.

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'', the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] lent a Metapod to the school's underage students for use in lessons.

==Trivia==
* Metapod shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}. They are all known as the Cocoon Pokémon.
** They also share the same base stat total, learnset, [[Ability]], and EV yield.
*** This ties them as the evolved Pokémon with the lowest base stat total.
* Metapod is the first Pokémon to evolve in [[M04|a movie]], and part of the first evolution cycle in [[EP003|an episode]].
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, when its pre-evolution became able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}}, Metapod was unable to damage {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon except by using {{m|Struggle}}. It shared this trait with {{p|Caterpie}}.
** Due to this, it was impossible to complete a [[Generation I]] game using only Caterpie or Metapod since Struggle could not hit Ghost types at the time.
* Metapod is usually depicted with white sclerae, such as in the games, TCG, and promotional illustrations, but it has yellow sclerae in the anime.
* In the anime episode ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', the process of Metapod's evolution was similar to a real life butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. In [[AG142|later]] [[BW130|episodes]], however, Metapod is shown to evolve like any other Pokémon.
* {{wp|Ume Aoki}}, a Japanese cartoonist famous for her work on the manga ''Hidamari Sketch'' and as the character designer for the anime ''Puella Magi Madoka Magica'', utilizes a likeness of herself cosplaying as a Metapod to represent herself in her works.
* In the Space World '97 [[Super Game Boy]] demo version of Pokémon Gold, Metapod has a unique orange sprite that is exclusive to the demo.

===Origin===
Metapod appears to be based on a {{wp|butterfly}} {{wp|Pupa#Chrysalis|chrysalis}}, with its color and shape being similar to various {{wp|swallowtail}} butterfly chrysalises.

====Name origin====
Metapod may be a combination of ''{{wp|metamorphosis}}'' and ''pod'' (a shell containing seeds).

Transel may be a combination of ''transform'' (to change appearance) and ''cell'' (a small room) or ''shell''. It also might be a pun on ランドセル ''randoseru'' (school bag).

==In other languages==

'''Machoke''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴーリキー''' ''Goriky'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Machop}} starting at [[level]] 28 and evolves into {{p|Machamp}} when [[trade]]d.

==Biology==
Machoke is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon covered in gray skin. It has a vaguely reptilian face with a short snout, narrow red eyes, and four pointed teeth visible inside its mouth. Two of these teeth are in the upper jaw, while two are in the lower jaw. On top of its head are three brown ridges. Its arms are muscular with dark red, vertical stripes on them. The lower part of its body has black markings that resemble briefs. It is always seen wearing a black and gold power-save belt resembling a {{wp|championship belt}}. It possesses large pectoral muscles that protrude slightly over its belt.

Machoke is a Pokémon of immense strength. Its muscles are as hard as steel, and it is capable of lifting extremely heavy objects with only one finger. Machoke's body is powerful enough to never get tired. Machoke is a popular Pokémon used as a motif for sculptures. In spite of this, it is modest and often helps people with manual labor. The belt it wears regulates its strength, but Machoke removes it when facing a truly powerful opponent. It can be found in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}, where it trains daily. In the past, it claimed {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Vital Throw}} as [[signature move]]s.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Machoke was originally known as "Kung-Foo". This name is a corruption of ''{{wp|Chinese martial arts|kung fu}}'', a Chinese martial art.
* In [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]], Machoke is described as being extremely narcissistic; "Machoke, [...]likes its own body way too much. Sometimes it's too busy looking at itself in the mirror to train", which is exactly the opposite of the description given in Pokémon Stadium; "Although it is incredibly strong, it is always modest".
* Machoke's belt looks very similar to the Winner's Belt Prop in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Generally Machoke's complexion is a somewhat dark shade of blue, such as in the games, TCG, and promotional illustrations, but it has a much lighter blue complexion in the anime.

===Origin===
Machoke appears to be based on a {{wp|Bodybuilding|bodybuilder}} or {{wp|Wrestling|wrestler}} with some reptilian traits.

====Name origin====
Machoke may be a combination of ''macho'' ({{wp|Spanish (language)|Spanish}} for ''male'', ''overly masculine'' or ''chauvinist'') and ''choke''. ''Macho'' has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Akin to {{p|Mr. Mime}}, the masculine attribute has no reflection on gender assignment, as both species can be male and female; however, {{p|Machop}}'s evolutionary line does have a 3:1 male:female ratio, making the species predominantly—but not entirely—male.

Goriky is a corruption of 剛力 ''gōriki'' ({{wp|Hercules|herculean}} strength).

'''Aerodactyl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プテラ''' ''Ptera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is resurrected from an [[Old Amber]], and while it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Aerodactyl can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Aerodactyl''' using the [[Aerodactylite]].

==Biology==
Aerodactyl is a reptilian, bipedal Pokémon with large, membranous wings. It has small, sharply pointed ears, narrow eyes, a ridged snout with a gaping mouth, and strong lower jaw full of serrated fangs. Its body is covered in light purplish gray skin with violet wing membranes. Aerodactyl's wings consist of a membrane running from the side of the body to the tip of an elongated finger. The clawed hands at the bend of each wing allow it to grasp objects. There is a hump-like ridge with a single spike on its back and it has a strong tail with an arrow-shaped tip. Its talon-like feet have two toes in front and one in the back and are capable of scooping up and tightly clutching its prey in flight.

Aerodactyl is extant using Fossil revitalization, but is considered extinct in the wild. Due to the sharp appearance of Aerodactyl's fangs, it was originally thought to be exclusively a {{wp|carnivore}}. However, [[HS15|the anime]] shows it joyfully consuming fruit. Its serrated fangs and ferocious attitude were nevertheless very imposing, and it is said to be have been capable of effortlessly ripping out enemies' throats. By spreading its impressive wings, Aerodactyl is believed to have flown by gliding through the skies, freely letting out its high-pitched cries. However, its walk was weak and slow when it touched ground. When at rest it enjoyed the safety and seclusion of the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|mountains}}, where it liked to nest.

When Aerodactyl Mega Evolves, its eyes turn green and body begins to turn to stone, which some researchers believe was its original appearance before fossilization. It grows larger in size and sprouts jagged black spikes all over its body: five spikes at the wrist joint of each wing replacing its hands, three small spikes along its tail, one spike on each ear, and a long spike on its chin. The spike on its back and its rear talons have also become black and stony. Rocky plates cover its eyebrows and the corners of its jaw. Similar stone ornaments are present on its chest on its torso: two small ridges flanking a longer ridge. Because of the burden of Mega Evolution, Mega Aerodactyl is fiercer and more irritable than before.

====Major appearances====
In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', an Aerodactyl scared off the other [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon that were chasing {{Ash}} and {{TRT}}. It then kidnapped Ash, who was rescued by {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing|song}}. {{Todd}} took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''. The same Aerodactyl appeared in a flashback in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

In ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', an Aerodactyl was resurrected from a fossil alongside a {{pkmn2|giant}} Kabutops by {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]].

It was ordered to chase after Ash and {{OBP|Latias|M05}}. It had blank, yellow-tinted eyes with no pupils and a thick black outline.

In ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', an Aerodactyl was revived by [[Gary Oak]]. It seemed to enjoy eating a pear-like fruit that grew in the forests of an island. [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] wanted to steal this Aerodactyl and present it to [[Dr. Namba]], but were stopped by [[Gary's Umbreon]] and {{p|Dodrio}}, and the Aerodactyl itself, who sent the two Rockets flying with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

In ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', Team Rocket accidentally revived an Aerodactyl from its fossil. Angered and confused, it terrorized [[Oreburgh City]]. It was eventually stopped by [[Dawn's Piplup]] and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} before [[Dr. Kenzo]] caught it

In ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', {{an|Trevor}} was revealed to have caught an Aerodactyl. It was used in his battle against [[Alain]] in the [[Lumiose Conference]], where it went up against {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} but was soon defeated.

==Trivia==
* Aerodactyl shares its [[category]] with {{p|Arctovish}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Dracozolt}}. They are all know as the Fossil Pokémon.
* Aerodactyl was [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Aerodactylus}}'', a genus of {{wp|pterosaur}}s.
* Aerodactyl is the only Fossil Pokémon with a [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form.
** It is also the only Fossil Pokémon that can be obtained in any way other than breeding, reviving its Fossil or from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}: it is available through an [[in-game trade]] in [[Generation II]], as a gift in [[Generation VII]], and is one of [[Hayley's trades]].
*** The trade in Generation II was removed in {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, likely due to the fact that the [[Old Amber]] could be obtained and revived in these games, unlike in Generation II.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Aerodactyl was originally known as "Ptera", its Japanese name.
* Aerodactyl is the only Pokémon owned by [[Lance]] and [[Clair]] in the [[core series]] who is not a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon nor a Pokémon belonging to the {{egg|Dragon}} Egg group
** This is likely due to pterosaurs being known as "winged dragons" (翼竜 ''yokuryū'') in Japanese, further explaining why its appearance is influenced by that of {{wp|wyvern}}s
* Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base stat total of all Fossil Pokémon.
* Aerodactyl is one of four non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon available in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]. The others are {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}.
* Mega Aerodactyl has a unique base stat total of 615.

===Origin===
Aerodactyl's design is mostly based on {{wp|Rhamphorhynchidae|rhamphorhynchids}}, a family of toothed {{wp|pterosaur}}s. However, its pointed wings, spaded tail, and robust jaws also give it the semblance of a {{wp|dragon}}, specifically {{wp|wyvern}}s.

====Name origin====
Aerodactyl's name is a combination of ''aero'' ({{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''air'') and ''{{wp|pterodactyl}}''.

Ptera's name derives from ''{{wp|pterosaur}}''.

'''Fossil Fools''' (Japanese: '''こだいポケモンパーク！アルフのいせき！！''' ''Ancient Pokémon Park! Ruins of Alph!!'') is the 163rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 7, 2000 and in the United States on September 15, 2001.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash, Misty and Brock have reached the famous Ruins of Alph. Summoned there by a note from Professor Oak they join him and an old student of his, Foster in a facility for studying Pokémon fossils. Foster has made an amazing discovery, live prehistoric Water-type Pokémon thought to be extinct for thousands of years! Does their appearance have anything to do with the interrupted water flow from a nearby reservoir? Watch as our heroes find out what's fishy with the freshwater!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], a place where many [[Fossil]]s of ancient {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} including {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}} have been discovered. Upon their arrival, the group is met by {{an|Professor Oak}}, who shows them around while telling them that he found out about a mysterious discovery. They meet up with [[Foster]], a scientist and one of Oak's top students from [[Celadon University]]. He takes Oak aside and tells him that it would be dangerous if any information about the discovery would be leaked, but Oak vouches for them and their reliability. Ash notices a man washing a bone; Foster tells him that the man is removing the dirt from a Fossil they just found with a special device that uses a powerful but harmless water spray.

After determining the fragment's source, the device stops working, with Foster telling they've been having had water flow problems lately. Oak asks about the water's source and Foster answers, specifying it's a natural crystal clear water reservoir deep in the woods. The scene then turns to {{TRT}} pumping the water into bottles and labeling them. Then they all daydream about what they will each do after getting rich from selling water. The pumper then stops working and the scene turns back to Oak admiring Foster's artifacts. Foster informs them that their studies have found that the first Pokémon appeared 2,000,000 years ago and all the Pokémon has its origins in the ancient seas. Misty is thrilled to hear the latter, again revealing her love for {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Then, ironically Brock drags Misty away from Foster by her ear.

In the following scene, Foster leads the gang to a forbidden entry saying it is a place 2,000,000 years in the [[History of the Pokémon world|Pokémon past]]. As the door opens, a robotic Aerodactyl is flying around. Foster names the place The Ancient Pokémon Study Park. It's a special interactive and unique environment that recreates the [[Pokémon world]] being set to be opened for the public next week.

They proceed to a lake where a huge statue of a {{p|Kabutops}} is seen preying on a [[Animals in the Pokémon world|fish]]. Then, Ash asks him about his mysterious discovery which Oak told them about. Foster tells them to wait when an Omastar and two Omanyte come out of the water. Initially, they all think the Pokémon are robots but Foster informs them that they're real. When the gang reacts to this, the Pokémon frighten up and dig in the sand.

After witnessing this, Oak reveals that it was an Omanyte who inspired him to become a professor. It all goes back when he was 6 years old and along with his class, they visited a Pokémon museum where he saw an Omanyte shell. Foster then reveals how he discovered them. He believes that their natural habitat was disturbed so they came to this Park.

The scene turns to James trying to fix the pump while Jessie and Meowth are drinking water from the bottles. While repairing the pump, he discovers an Omanyte who was jamming the pump. Then, they proceed to make plans with the Omanyte willing to search for more of them, while the scene turns back to the main characters. There, they are seen watching the two Omanyte and the Omastar on the surveillance cameras. One more Omanyte and Omastar appear, and Foster reveals that the previous ones appeared the same day they had water problems.

The door opens, and another scientist enters informing them the water has stopped flowing completely. They all agree to go to the reservoir. Outside the building Ash sends his {{AP|Noctowl}} to scout the reservoir. The scene turns to Team Rocket where they are shown using the pump to take the Omastar and Omanyte out of the water. The scene reverts to the others who are shown to be in a {{wp|Sport utility vehicle|SUV}} heading to the reservoir. Noctowl returns and Ash realizes there is something at the reservoir.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket loads their air-balloon with the Pokémon, when the others arrive. Then they start to recite the {{motto}}. Meowth explains to them how they found the Pokémon, when Oak realizes the Omanyte and Omastar from the Park came when Team Rocket started pumping the water. After Foster tells them to return the Pokémon, Jessie declines to send her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and James his {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Arbok proceeds to use {{m|Poison Sting}} and Weezing {{m|Sludge}} but Pikachu dodges both attacks then uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} followed by a {{m|Tackle}} which sends them into Team Rocket and blowing up the pump. Jessie and James call their Pokémon back and proceed to lift-off with the Omanyte and Omastar.

Suddenly, the balloon stops due to the overload of Pokémon. Ash sends his Noctowl again and orders him to make a hole in the balloon bringing Team Rocket down to earth. Pikachu shocks them and the Omanyte and Omastar send them blasting off with {{m|Water Gun}}. The scene then turns to the Omastar and Omanyte as they are returning back in the water. Then a scene is shown where the Pokémon dig a hole in the depths of the water, which leads them to a waterfall connected to a cave full of Omanyte and Omastar. Afterwards, Foster and Professor Oak bid farewell to Ash's group.

==Trivia==
[[File:Recurring Clay Pokemon.png|thumb|220px|Recurring earthenware artifact.]]
[[File:Brock Misty ear.png|thumb|220px|A reversal of roles]]
* [[Exciting Pokémon Relay]] replaces [[Takeshi's Paradise]] as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending theme]].
* One of the clay artifacts that is displayed in this episode also appeared in ''[[AG076|Me, Myself and Time]]'', over three-and-a-half years later; and again in ''[[DP181|Bucking the Treasure Trend!]]'', over nine-and-a-half years after its original appearance in this episode.
* The [[Ruins of Alph]] in the games is entirely different and focuses on the {{p|Unown}}.
* Archaeology currently dates the first Pokémon at two million years ago, though a {{p|Kabutops}} Fossil had been discovered that is 20 to 30 thousand years older than that.
* Like life on Earth, the prevailing theory is that Pokémon life began in the sea.
* The English title is a pun on {{wp|fossil fuels}}, a source of energy.
* In a case of role-reversal, Misty gets infatuated by someone and then, Brock drags her away by the ear.
* This episode revealed the scientific name of Kabutops, ''Kabutops Maximis''. The only other Pokémon with a confirmed scientific name is {{p|Oddish}}, whose scientific name is ''Oddium Wanderus''.
* Music from the [[M02|second movie]] can be heard in this episode.
* The Kabutops statue shows a [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real-world fish]] in Kabutops's claws.
* In this episode, Team Rocket uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Fossil Fools motto|variation}} of their motto.

===Errors===
* When Pikachu uses {{m|Tackle}}, his mouth moves but his voice cannot be heard.
** In addition, Pikachu [[Anime move errors|cannot even learn]] Tackle.
* In the dub, when Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} (and when Misty points out that the Omanyte and Omastar would get shocked as well as Team Rocket), he says, "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt, Pikachu!" which is redundant as he says "Pikachu" twice in the same sentence.

Wile e2005: /* Meowth toy */

== Meowth toy ==
The information on the Meowth toy is not entirely correct. The only one I have any experience with speaks in the voice of Nathan Price, with several lines taken from early episodes of the show, including "Meowth!", "And just remember, I'm the top cat!", "We just went from 'worst' to 'first'!", "Not as cute as Meowth!" and "Meowth, that's right!" This message brought to you by [[User_talk:Glitchipedia|Glitchipedia]], the malfunctioning encyclopedia 05:00, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
:Hmm, odd. The one I got (and I definitely know that one was American-released since it had the American packaging) definitely had the Japanese voice (I even wondered whether that was what that toy magazine I had that talked about some of the Pokémon Hasbro toys meant by it "talking trash."). Guess quality control was asleep on the switch with that one. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] ([[User talk:Weedle Mchairybug|talk]]) 17:23, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
::I can confirm I have the rare English-speaking version, which I got as a Christmas present in 2000. Before that I had only seen and heard the Japanese-speaking version. Perhaps the English version was much later in the production run. I uploaded a video of it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usuH1Ez2WfI --[[User:Wile e2005|Wile_e2005]] ([[User talk:Wile e2005|talk]]) 19:39, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

'''Pikachu's Jukebox''' was a segment that aired before the ending credits in several episodes in the English [[dub]] of the [[Pokémon anime]].

The segment consisted of a small piece of one of six different songs from the [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]] CD. It was used from ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' to ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', replacing the [[Pokérap]]. Before the songs are played, an eyecatch appears in which {{Ash}} says, "Don't go away, Pikachu's Jukebox is next".

==Featured songs==
* [[My Best Friends]]
* [[What Kind of Pokémon Are You?]]
* [[Together Forever]]
* [[2.B.A. Master]]
* {{so|Viridian City}}
* [[Double Trouble]]

==Trivia==
* The line "''Good luck with Muk and its Poison Gas/Make one wrong move and it'll kick your Grass''" with footage of Muk was changed in later broadcasts and the Indigo League box set to the line "''Dratini comes first when you choose Dragon/But evolution's the solution if you're gonna win!''" with footage of Dratini and evolution. In this version, Pikachu's original "Pika pika!" during the opening logo is changed to a different "Pikachu!" soundbyte.
* Pikachu's Jukebox showed many clips from the [[S02|Orange Islands]] saga before the season ever aired in the U.S.; these clips prematurely showcased the major plot points of Ash's capture of {{AP|Lapras}} and {{Tracey}}'s joining of the group.
* The {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}} and {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub kept all songs in English.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash's second battle takes place on the Rock Field where he relies on his Squirtle to hopefully take down a Nidorino. In between matches, Ash needs to drop off his Pokémon at the Pokémon Center to have them taken care of. Team Rocket takes this opportunity to make one more attempt at stealing Pikachu. They set up a Pokémon Center of their own and when Ash drops off his Pokéballs, they grab them and run! When he finally gets his Pokémon back, Ash must race to make it to his third match of competition, which will be held on the Ice Field.

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} wins his second preliminary {{pkmn|battle}} on the Rock field with {{AP|Squirtle}}, it is revealed that {{Gary}} was watching Ash's battle with [[Gary's cheerleaders|his cheerleaders]]. He scoffs at Ash's confidence for winning what he calls two easy matches. Gary walks off while his entourage cheers Ash's name, seemingly jealous and a bit spiteful toward Ash.

{{an|Misty}} later arrives at the group's accommodation, only to notice Ash's absence while {{an|Brock}} takes care of Ash's Pokémon. She criticizes his selfishness, and the two soon reunite with Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who are in midst of searching for a place to eat. Ash soon locates an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant, where he and Misty indulge. During the meal, Pikachu saves {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'s life from falling cutlery, though Misty only sees Pikachu performing a seemingly dangerous stunt. She warns her Pokémon not to follow suit and goes on to criticize Ash's training methods.

Afterwards, Ash and {{ashfr}} search for a [[Pokémon Center]] so Ash can heal his Pokémon before the third round, but they find the Centers are all crowded. Noticing this, {{TRT}} decides to use this opportunity to swipe {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} by opening a fake Pokémon Center. [[James]], disguised in a nurse outfit with a face-mask, lures them into the auspicious building, where Ash submits his Pokémon for healing. However, Brock becomes suspicious when he isn't attracted to the Center's Nurse Joy, who is actually [[Jessie]].

While Ash and his friends are talking, they mention a few keywords that trigger Team Rocket to recite their {{motto}} and reveal themselves. As a result, Team Rocket is forced to destroy the fake Center and flee in their balloon. [[Brock's Onix]] stops them and retrieves Ash's Pokémon. After biting a hole into their balloon, Onix sends Team Rocket blasting off again. Afterwards, the group hears that new Pokémon can now be admitted into the Pokémon Center. Ash takes this opportunity to heal his Pokémon.

Later on, Ash is now in the middle of the third round match with [[Pete Pebbleman]] of [[Pewter City]] on the Ice Field, and both Trainers are each down one Pokémon. Ash uses {{AP|Kingler}} for the battle, while Pete uses {{p|Cloyster}} for the battle. Pete orders Cloyster to {{m|Withdraw}} into its spiked shell, helping it defend itself from Kingler's barrage of {{m|Crabhammer}}s. While Ash fears that Kingler will be exhausted, Misty and Brock encourage him to keep going, since Cloyster is still losing health despite the defense boost. Kingler keeps hitting Cloyster with its Crabhammer until Cloyster's shell finally cracks, [[fainting|knocking it out]].

Pete recalls Cloyster and sends out {{p|Arcanine}}. Kingler tries a {{m|Bubble}} attack, but Pete's Arcanine dodges it and uses {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Kingler is caught in the icy twister, but with Ash's plea, it manages to stand up. Ash still recalls Kingler and sends {{AP|Pikachu}} onto the battlefield. Hoping to confuse his opponent, Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Agility}} and it narrowly evades Arcanine's {{m|Fire Blast}} attacks. Pete soon reveals his strategy: the Fire Blast attacks were meant to melt the field. The technique takes Ash by surprise, but with Brock's suggestion, Ash has Pikachu dive into the water. Misty reminds him that water conducts electricity, so Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, thus defeating Arcanine.

==Major events==

* [[Ash's Squirtle]] is revealed to know {{m|Withdraw}}.
* {{Ash}} wins his second and third round {{pkmn|battle|matches}} against an unnamed {{pkmn|Trainer}} and [[Pete Pebbleman]], respectively.

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]: [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] tournament format
** Pokémon senryū summary: On the field, choosing the Pokémon, is difficult.
* {{Ash}}'s challenger on the Rock Field is left unnamed in both versions.
* {{an|Brock}}'s ability to identify fake [[Nurse Joy]]s is first seen in this episode.
* As Ash is looking for a place to eat, he passes a movie theater with a poster for ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}'', the movie of which he helped produce.
* This is one of the very few times in the anime that {{TRT}} refers to Ash by his first name instead of "[[twerp]]" or "brat".
* After [[James]] suggests to [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} that he has a plan to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}, Team Rocket [[Breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] by saying "So let's all get to work and get on with the show!"
* This episode's title is formatted as ''Fire And Ice'' on the DVD menu of [[List of English language Adventures in the Orange Islands home video releases (Region 4)|Australian DVDs]].

===Errors===
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} dub version, when Misty refers to Hit Points her words are mistranslated as Attack Points (Pontos de Ataque).
* On the posters in the village, the é in Pokémon lacks its accent.
* While Team Rocket is reciting their motto, the white piece of paper behind them covering part of the "R" is missing the blue design and text.
* As the [[Officer Jenny]]s run past Ash and Misty, Ash comments on the large amount of them. However, when a group of Nurse Joys run past, Misty calls them Officer Jennys instead.
* Misty says that Brock and Ash need to get all of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} back, but only Ash's Pikachu was stolen.
* The scoreboard prior to Ash's battle on the Ice Field erroneously shows him as the Red Competitor on the right side when he's the Green Competitor on the right side.
* In one scene, {{p|Nidorino}} only attacked without his {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s commands.
* When Brock tells Misty that Ash was "starving", Brock's shirt collar is discolored, making it look like his head is disconnected to the rest of his body.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, "Viridan City" is absent during the parade.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: [[2.B.A. Master]]
* North American DVD releases and [[Pokémon TV]] cut roughly 13 seconds from this episode. Immediately after Ash and Pikachu pass by the movie theater showing ''Pokémon in Love'', there are several shots showing Pokémon-related merchandise, including Clefairy figures, Gengar cotton candy, and Cubone bobbleheads. Pikachu taps the head on one of the bobbleheads, causing it to bob and say its name. Ash and Pikachu laugh and move on. This segment is still present in the broadcast and streaming versions, as well as Australian DVDs.
* Ash's "collection plate" joke is dub-only; in the original version, he just says he doesn't have any money.
* Ash asks Pikachu if he's practicing to be in the circus while spinning a plate but in the original version, he warns him the people in the restaurant will get angry.
* In the original version, Team Rocket references getting expensive makeup from [[Hollywood]] (I.e. Jessie's Nurse Joy mask) and having to patch together their older balloons to save money; in the dub, they talk about taking a vacation and leaving with Pikachu as a souvenir.
* During the parade scene, {{so|Viridian City}} is used as background music.
* {{an|Misty}} mentions {{stat|Hit Points}} in the dub, the only time it is referenced in the anime. She just talks about "taking damage" in the original version, however.
* The "take a dive" misunderstanding was originally referring to a Japanese proverb equivalent to "fortune favors the bold", but with the Japanese word for float (浮かぶ).

Wile e2005: James wore the town messenger disguise, not Jessie

[[File:Team Rocket disguises Alola.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket's disguises, commonly used in {{series|Sun & Moon}}]]
[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, like other [[Team Rocket]] members, often use a variety of disguises in order to carry out their schemes. The obvious and bizarre costumes serve as a {{wp|running gag}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} usually fail to recognize {{TRT}} until it is too late.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Team Rocket has been using special disguises to hide their identities. Each one has a long overcoat, a pair of sunglasses, and a hat. Jessie's outfit is purple, James's is blue, and Meowth's is brown. Unlike most of Team Rocket's other disguises, this one has been seen in more than one episode, being seen in most of the Best Wishes episodes they appeared in up to ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', and again in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'' and ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]''. Disguises as other people like in the other previous series have appeared less often, the only ones in the first season being in ''[[BW030|A UFO For Elgyem!]]'' and ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'' if Meowth's Umbreon disguise is not counted. They started disguising again from ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'' onwards.

Eric Stuart

2019-08-13T01:00:16Z

Wile e2005: The Pokédex's voice in Ep011 sounds very much like his post-upgrade voice in the later dub season episodes, compared to how Nicholas Tate normally voiced the Pokédex

[[File:Eric Stuart.jpg|thumb|300px|Eric Stuart recording for Slayers]]
'''Eric Stuart''' is an American voice actor, voice director, singer, and musician who worked on the English-language [[dub]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] by [[4Kids Entertainment]].

==Biography==
Stuart, the son of a criminal attorney and a modern dancer, grew up in {{wp|Brooklyn}}. He was born October 18, 1967. He formed his first band at age 14, inspired by his music teacher. He learned to play the guitar in eighth grade, and was writing and recording songs by the tenth grade. Before graduating high school, he had recorded over 40 original songs.

After high school, Stuart worked as a production assistant and played shows in the New York City area. As his career continued, he and his band went on to open for such famous acts such as {{wp|Chicago (band)|Chicago}}, {{wp|Ringo Starr|Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band}}, {{wp|Lynyrd Skynyrd}}, {{wp|Jethro Tull}}, and {{wp|Peter Frampton}}.

Stuart's most famous roles on the Pokémon anime are that of {{an|Brock}} and [[James]]. He played these until the end of [[S08|season 8]] in July 2006 when Pokémon USA took over the right to air the anime. His main roles were taken over by [[Bill Rogers]] and [[Carter Cathcart|Billy Beach]]. Stock footage was used for seasons nine through eleven for the Pokémon he voiced, but those roles were eventually taken over as well.

He is alleged to have announced Brock's surname to be Harrison in a July 2006 interview in [[K-Zone]] magazine.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20061216014724/http://www.totalpokemon.com/anime/stuartview1 this archive</ref>

In a 2011 interview, Stuart said his favorite Pokémon movie was ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' because he was able to work on the production team.

The '''Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'') is a digital encyclopedia created by [[Professor Oak]] as an invaluable tool to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the [[Pokémon world]]. It gives information about all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it acquires and presents information over the different media. However, they are also only given to a few Trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill. There are different types of Pokédexes and each Pokédex is special to a specific region.

Pokédex entries typically describe a Pokémon in only two or three sentences. They may give background information on the habitat or activities of a Pokémon in the wild or other information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. Pokédex entries also include height, weight, cry, footprint (prior to [[Generation VI]]), location, other forms, and a picture of the Pokémon.

==Functions==
The Pokédex is a handheld electronic encyclopedia device; one which is capable of recording and retaining information of the various Pokémon of the world. In order to accomplish Professor Oak's goal of a complete Pokémon database, the Pokédex is designed to find and record data on each Pokémon the Trainer meets. Pokémon are added to the Pokédex simply by encountering them in battle or, sometimes, by seeing a picture of the Pokémon. However, detailed entries are not recorded until the player catches the Pokémon, receives it as a prize/gift or acquires it in a trade.

===Entries===
The main feature of any Pokédex are the entries on each individual Pokémon, which provide details that would otherwise be unexplored in the games. Complete entries can only be seen for captured Pokémon, while uncaptured Pokémon only have limited information.

====Generation I====
In [[Generation I]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY505), the entries are simple and each individual section can be accessed directly from the listing. The first, and main option—"Data"—includes an image of the Pokémon, its number, name, {{pkmn|category}}, height, weight, and a short blurb. The second option—"[[Cry]]"—does not open a new screen; selecting it simply plays the Pokémon's cry. The last option—"Area"—displays the [[map]], along with flashing indicators at each location where the selected Pokémon can be found; in cases where the Pokémon is not available in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, is only available {{pkmn2|Legendary|once}}, or can only be found by [[fishing]] or in the [[Cerulean Cave|Unknown Dungeon]], the message "Area Unknown" will be displayed over the center of the map instead. {{game|Yellow}} allows players to print entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]].

====Generation II====
[[Generation II]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY808) retains the same elements as its predecessor, while adding the Pokémon's [[footprint]] to the information and, like Yellow, allows players to print entries. Unlike Generation I, selecting a Pokémon displays the entry in a new screen from which the other sections can be selected. This became the norm for subsequent generations. International versions also have a "Page" button for long Pokédex entries (in Generation I player simply had to press A button instead); Japanese versions did not have multi-page Pokédex entries.

In these games, entries that would normally display "Area Unknown" on the map simply display an unmarked map.

====Generation III====
[[Generation III]]'s Pokédex did not add anything to the main entry; however, Cry was given its own page, which displays the sound wave as it played. In addition, the Area section was changed to highlight locations instead of just marking them and can now display the locations of Pokémon obtainable by [[fishing]]. A Size section was added, which displays silhouettes of the Pokémon and the [[player character]] side by side. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} only, there is a Page button to switch between pages of multi-page Pokédex entries.

{{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s Pokédex (model HANDY909) displays entries in a much different format from Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. It was the first Pokédex to actually display a Pokémon's type in its entry, as well as its menu sprite. However, the Cry visuals were removed. Entries for Kanto Pokémon were taken from Red/Green for FireRed and Red/Blue for LeafGreen. Johto Pokémon entries were taken from Silver for FireRed and Gold for LeafGreen. Additionally, in the international versions, it is the first Pokédex to show long Pokédex entries in full, instead of splitting them into two pages. This was carried over to later games, including Emerald.

====Generation IV====
[[Generation IV]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY910) added numerous features, but of FireRed and LeafGreen's changes, it kept only type. Area now changes its highlight color depending on whether a Pokémon is found normally or exclusively using [[Honey]], and the player can view the differences between morning, day and night, with the default being the current [[time]]. Cry's display returned, with a bar display in addition to the wave display, and the ability to modify the cry via Chorus/Pan, Reverb/Filter and Loop. Weight was added to the Size section, which puts the Pokémon and the player character on either side of a balance scale. A new Forms section allows players to see gender and form differences within species, but only for forms they have already seen. Males and females of all Pokémon with differing gender are shown separately under in the Forms section even if there is no [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|visible gender difference]]. For a small list of Pokémon, if the player obtains a Pokémon from another country, they can [[Foreign Pokédex entries|change the language]] of that Pokémon's entry after meeting Meister. In Platinum, this function was expanded to all Pokémon, although it still requires Meister to update the Pokédex.

{{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} changed the formatting again, now displaying the list on the lower screen and the actual entry on the top screen. Cry's page was again removed. By selecting "view details", players can view Area, Size and Forms. Area no longer defaults to the current time or differentiated for Honey due to it no longer being a mechanic, Size now utilized both screens to display both Height and Weight at the same time, and Forms added a Compare option to see different forms side by side instead of having to scroll between them. Entries for Johto and Kanto Pokémon were taken from Gold for HeartGold and Silver for SoulSilver. Players can collect foreign Pokédex entries without the need to update their Pokédex. Also, while artwork shows a pink Pokédex for females, the in-game interface does not reflect this.

====Generation V====
[[File:Key Pokédex m Sprite.png|thumb|Male Unova Pokédex sprite when obtaining it]]
[[File:Key Pokédex f Sprite.png|thumb|Female Unova Pokédex sprite when obtaining it]]
The [[Generation V]] Pokédex is similar to the Pokédex from {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is displayed as a list on the right side of the lower screen with the selected Pokémon's sprite occupying the left side. Most of its functions are also similar to [[Generation IV]]'s. Instead of showing the time of day that a Pokémon can be caught, as in Generation IV, the Pokédex shows the seasons in which it can be found. Areas in which the Pokémon can be found flash red, and touching an area will show the methods by which it can be caught (walking in [[tall grass]], {{m|surf}}ing, or [[fishing]]). The height and weight comparison feature has been removed, but a section showing form differences and a search feature are added by [[Cedric Juniper]] when the player visits [[Mistralton City]]. The form difference section will now show [[Shiny Pokémon]] as well as form differences. The last sprite selected will become the one displayed in the main entry. The ability to collect foreign Pokédex entries now only applies to the first 493 Pokémon, but the player can now also collect Korean Pokédex entries. The cry page has been added again as well.

In Black 2 and White 2, after defeating [[Cheren]] for the first time, [[Bianca]] will upgrade the player's Pokédex with the [[Habitat List]], showing which Pokémon the player has already seen in the selected location, either normally, by finding in the water or via fishing rod (the latter two available later). If all Pokémon available in that place that are available via one of these three ways are seen (such as {{p|Purrloin}} and {{p|Patrat}} for tall grass on {{rt|19|Unova}}), the reference to the location in such way is marked with a [[Poké Ball]]-like stamp; after catching all Pokémon that are found via one of these three ways in current place, it gets marked with a colored Poké Ball-like stamp.

In all four games, extra Pokédex skins can also be downloaded through the [[Pokémon Global Link]].

====Generation VI====
The [[Generation VI]] Pokédex is card-shaped and has a holographic center that is visible when the two ends are separated. It is also separated into three categories: Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos, and each category has a different icon in the Pokédex menu. The Coastal Pokédex is represented by a blue stripe on the left side of a pentagon, the Central Pokédex is represented by a white stripe down the middle of a pentagon, and the Mountain Pokédex is represented by a red stripe on the right side of a pentagon. The symbol for the National Pokédex is a {{i|Poké Ball}}.

If the player obtains a Pokémon that was created in Generation VI, the symbol in the Pokédex indicating it has been caught is a combination of the three Kalos Pokédex symbols: a pentagon with vertical blue, white, and red stripes. This resembles the {{wp|flag of France}}, the region on which Kalos is based. If a Pokémon is transferred from a previous generation, the symbol will instead be a Poké Ball. The latter symbol can be updated to the former symbol if the player obtains a Pokémon of that species originating from Generation VI. If all Pokémon are obtained from Generation VI games, the Pokédex will be marked with a crown on the selection screen.

In the [[National Pokédex]], there are color codes used to represent Pokémon introduced in each [[generation]]: red for [[Generation I]], yellow for {{gen|II}}, green for {{gen|III}}, blue for {{gen|IV}}, pink for {{gen|V}}, and silver for {{gen|VI}}. Like in Generation V, players may choose the default entry image for each Pokémon species, as long as they have seen that gender, coloration, or form of that species before. Like in previous games, acquiring Pokémon from foreign-language games will unlock the ability to view entries in those languages, so long as the player owns or has owned a Pokémon from that language. This time, all Pokémon entries can be obtained, allowing for both Generation V and VI entries for the first time.

[[File:Key Rotom Pokédex Sprite.png|thumb|Rotom Pokédex sprite when obtaining it]]
====Generation VII====
The [[Generation VII]] Pokédex consists of a device specially-designed to be inhabited by a {{p|Rotom}}, an innovation that gives the Pokédex its own personality and is intended as a new way for humans and Pokémon to communicate. In addition to a standard Pokédex function, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] includes a detailed map that can point out nearby locations of interest, and remind the player of the next objective based on recent conversations with NPCs. The Rotom Pokédex is a rare model even in the [[Alola]] region where it was created.

Like the Kalos Pokédex, the Alola Pokédex is divided into several categories, with a section for each of the four main islands of the region. Unlike the Kalos Pokédex, Pokémon in Alola can be found in more than one section of the Pokédex. In addition to the number of Pokémon seen and owned, it also displays the total percentage of Pokédex completion. Event-exclusive [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], [[regional variant]]s and [[Mega Evolution]]s have separate entries from the rest of their species. Unlike previous generations, a Pokémon's gender is only shown separately under the Forms section if there is a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|visible gender difference]]. The player can also scan QR codes to add Pokémon they haven't encountered yet to the Pokédex, allowing them to check the Pokémon's location in Alola.

====Generation VIII====
The [[Generation VIII]] Pokedex is the [[Rotom Phone]], which is similar to the Rotom Dex.

===Search and order===
The original Pokédex had no search function.

In [[Generation II]], the ability to search for Pokémon by [[type]] was added, as well as the ability to sort by [[New Pokédex]] mode, Old Pokédex mode, [[List of Pokémon by name|A to Z]] mode and [[Unown Mode]].

In [[Generation III|Ruby and Sapphire]], the search function was expanded to allow searches by name and [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Players were also given the option to order Pokémon by Heaviest, Lightest, Tallest, or Smallest. Two modes were available, [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National]]. National mode was unlocked via a trade with [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]], or, in {{game3|Emerald|Emerald}}, defeating the [[Elite Four]].

However, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the search function was dropped altogether, instead choosing to expand the sort functions by adding lists of Pokémon by type and [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitat]]. Heaviest and Tallest orders were also removed. National Mode was unlocked by having obtained 60 Pokémon in the Pokédex, beating the Elite Four and completing the Sevii Island's sidequest.

[[Generation IV]] brought the Search function back, as well as Heaviest and Tallest orders. Habitat was dropped. Searches could now be conducted by [[List of Pokémon by body style|Form]], but not by Color. The two Pokédex modes were [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]] and National. National mode was unlocked by seeing every Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex.

{{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} added the ability to search by Height and Weight (instead of simply sorting by them), and also allowed search by Area ([[Johto]], [[Kanto]], or Unknown). National Mode was added by talking with [[Professor Oak]] in the [[S.S. Aqua]] port in [[Olivine City]] after defeating the Elite Four.

In [[Generation V]], the Pokédex for {{4v|Black|White}} allows the player to search for Pokémon with the following criteria: Order ([[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Number]], [[List of Pokémon by name|A to Z]], [[List of Pokémon by weight|Heavy to Light]], [[List of Pokémon by weight|Light to Heavy]], [[List of Pokémon by height|Tall to Short]], and [[List of Pokémon by height|Short to Tall]]), [[List of Pokémon by name|Name]] (All letters of the alphabet), Type, [[List of Pokémon by color|Color]], which was returned to the search after being dropped in [[Generation IV]], and [[List of Pokémon by body style|Form]]. Unlike in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the ability to search for Pokémon by area was dropped. By changing the Pokédex type, the player can search for [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Pokémon native to the Unova Region]] or from other regions, but in order to search for other Pokémon, the player must have first been obtained the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] upgrade from [[Cedric Juniper]] after the defeat of [[Ghetsis]]{{sup/5|BW}}/[[Iris]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}. After obtaining the upgrade, the player can switch the Pokédex type from the National Pokédex to the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] at will by simply tapping "SELECT" in the lower portion of the touch screen or by pressing the SELECT button on the DS System. In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, it is not possible to use the Search Function in the Habitat List mode of the Pokédex.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the ability to search for Pokémon that are not caught was added. Furthermore, only the currently set form of a Pokémon will be considered by the Pokédex when sorting and searching. All other forms will be ignored, and the form setting will not change to make the Pokémon match the search criteria. If the form is changed in the entry and the Pokémon either no longer matches the search criteria or belongs in a different place in the list, its entry will vanish or move according to its new form. The regional Pokédex is divided into three categories, each with separate Pokémon and search functions: Central Kalos (the first one unlocked), Coastal Kalos (unlocked by [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]] upon entering {{rt|8|Kalos}}), and Mountain Kalos (unlocked by Sina and Dexio in the gate between [[Coumarine City]] and {{rt|13|Kalos}}, after beating [[Ramos]]). The National Pokédex upgrade is obtained from Dexio after entering the Hall of Fame, upon entering Lumiose Station.

[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] kept all the search features from {{2v2|X|Y}}, with some new additions. This time, all forms of a Pokémon registered will be taken in account when sorting and searching, even if they aren't the currently set form. There is also an option to search for Pokémon whose [[Mega Evolution]] form or {{shiny}} appearance have been registered.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the Pokédex is divided into 4 Island Pokédexes, which feature the Pokémon found in each island of [[Alola]] (thus sharing species). Combined, they form the Alola Pokédex, which gathers all the Pokémon present in the Island Pokédexes, plus some others, like [[Legendary Pokémon]] and [[Ultra Beast]]s. The search/sorting function is only present in the Alola Pokédex proper. In addition to the features available in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a new option is present, that allows to search for Pokémon whose [[Alola Form]] has been seen. There is no National Pokédex mode in these games.


==Evaluation==
There are various mechanisms to evaluate the number of Pokémon in the Pokédex. These mechanisms will display a quote relating to the number of Pokémon seen or caught, often including a hint to the player of how to progress.

In all games in which [[Professor Oak]] appears, he will evaluate the player's Pokédex according to the number of Pokémon they have caught. In games which feature the [[National Pokédex]], Oak's evaluation takes this into account, but in a different way according to the game:
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Oak gives specific quotes according to the number of Pokémon caught in the regional Pokédex, and a general quote according to whether they have completed the National Pokédex or not
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Oak will only comment on the National Pokédex, according to the number of Pokémon caught
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Oak will comment on both the regional and National Pokédexes, according to the number of Pokémon caught

In [[Hoenn]]-based games, [[Professor Birch]] will evaluate the player's Pokédex:
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Birch comments on the regional Pokédex, according to the number of Pokémon caught, but only after [[Wally]] catches a {{p|Ralts}}. He will also give the number of Pokémon caught in the National dex, after it is obtained
* In {{game|Emerald}}, it works the same as {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, except that Birch will start to evaluate after the player gets the [[PokéNav]]
* In {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}, Birch will comment on the regional Pokédex according to the number of Pokémon seen, and the national Pokédex according to the number caught

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, as well as Oak evaluating the National dex as noted above, [[Professor Rowan]] will also evaluate the regional dex according to the number seen.

In {{game4|Black|White|Black 2|White 2}}, [[Professor Juniper]] will evaluate the regional Pokédex according to both seen and caught Pokémon.

In {{g|X and Y}}, [[Professor Sycamore]] will evaluate all three regional Pokédexes according to seen Pokémon, and the National Pokédex according to caught Pokémon.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] itself will evaluate according to the number of Pokémon seen in each of the four islands as well as in [[Alola]] as a whole.

==Completion==
[[File:Diploma RB.png|thumb|Diploma awarded in Red and Blue]]
:''See also: [[Diploma]]''
Completing the Pokédex is a common goal of Trainers and carries with it much esteem due to its difficulty, which has gradually escalated due to the fact that around 100 new Pokémon are introduced with each new generation. However, this is mitigated to a degree by new features added to the games, such as Wi-Fi and the [[Global Trade System]] in [[Generation IV]], and a less restrictive trading system (between PC boxes instead of only active teams) in [[Generation V]]. The exclusion of event Pokémon as a requirement for completing the Pokédex also makes it possible for people with no access to event distributions to complete the Pokédex.

[[File:XY National Diploma.png|thumb|left|250px|The diploma awarded for the completion of the [[National Pokédex]] in {{pkmn|X and Y}}]]
The in-game rewards are usually a congratulations from the director's avatar and a [[diploma]], usually one for completing the regional Pokédex and one for the National Pokédex. In {{v2|Emerald}}, the player could choose from one of the Johto [[starter Pokémon]] for completing the Hoenn Dex. The completion of the Pokédex also usually allows the player to upgrade his/her {{ga|Trainer Card}}. Also, in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the diploma will appear on the shelf in the player's bedroom.

In Generations I to III, the completion of the regional Pokédex is tracked by how many Pokémon the player has caught. However, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{v2|Platinum}}, the regional Pokédex is tracked simply by how many Pokémon the player has seen. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, though, it again registers only Pokémon that have been caught. In Generation V, though [[Professor Juniper]] originally evaluates the player's regional Pokédex based on the Pokémon the player has seen, they may still only receive a diploma after having caught all regional Pokémon. Completion of the National Pokédex is always based only on the number of Pokémon caught.

In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, the system is revised to give the player more in-game recognition of their achievements. Once all the Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex have been seen, Professor Juniper presents the player a [[Permit]], allowing access to the [[Nature Preserve]]. Once the player has caught all of the Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex, Professor Juniper will give the player an [[Oval Charm]] which increases the chances of finding [[Pokémon Egg]]s at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. When the player completes the [[National Pokédex]], Professor Juniper gives the player a [[Shiny Charm]], which increases the chances of encountering and hatching [[Shiny Pokémon]].

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Professor Sycamore]] will reward the player with an [[Oval Charm]] upon seeing all Pokémon in the Kalos Pokédex, except for {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}. Upon completing the [[National Pokédex]], the player will receive a [[Shiny Charm]] from Sycamore.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Professor Birch]] will reward the player with an [[Oval Charm]] upon seeing all Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex, except for {{p|Jirachi}}. Should the player complete the [[National Pokédex]], Birch will also reward the player with a [[Shiny Charm]]. Also in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the diplomas given by the director can be displayed in the player's [[Secret Base]] and can be viewed in the same way when obtaining it from the director. Other players visiting the secret base cannot see the full image on the diplomas, but instead will view it as an "impressive certificate".

==In the anime==
[[File:Zoey Glameow Pokédex scan.png|thumb|220px|A Pokédex scanning a {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}]]
===In the main series===
When a young [[Sam]], who later turned out to be {{an|Professor Oak}}'s younger self, was accidentally warped to a future of his own time, {{Ash}} explained to him how the Pokédex works, unknowingly giving him an idea. This is an example of a {{wp|causal loop}}, meaning the idea for the Pokédex came out of nowhere.

In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash receives his first Pokédex, apparently nicknamed "Dexter". Throughout the series, Ash uses it to either identify {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} he is not familiar with, check a Pokémon's moves, or identify Pokémon on request. Occasionally, though, Ash will scan Pokémon he has already seen, likely to either refresh his memory or out of curiosity.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]'', [[Officer Jenny]] tells Ash that the Pokédex can be used as an {{wp|Identity document|ID card}}. Since then, Ash has used his Pokédex to register for the various [[Pokémon League]]s he has participated in. As shown in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', the Pokédex can also be used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s registering to obtain a [[Contest Pass]] for entering [[Pokémon Contest]]s.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', {{an|Brock}} tells Ash that a [[Pokémon Trainer]] can use their Pokédex to exchange their Pokémon.

[[File:Ash Dawn Pokédexes.png|thumb|left|220px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} using the Pokédex]]
In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'' it was mentioned that the Pokédex entries were written by [[Professor Westwood V]] of {{an|Seafoam Island}}. Unlike the games, entries in the anime are pre-programmed into the database and do not require catching to give full information. In this way, they act more as a true encyclopedia than a data recording device. However, it should be noted that information relayed to the user may vary from time to time. This may happen even if the Pokédex remains unchanged in any way.

To look up information on a particular species, Trainers may simply point the Pokédex at an individual or manually enter it in. The Pokédex will then display a picture and read the entry out loud. The image displayed will be [[Ken Sugimori]]'s official artwork. In ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', however, a stylized art of {{p|Raikou}} was shown when {{jo|Jimmy}} looked it up.

In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, it was revealed that it can identify the Pokémon's [[level]] and learned [[move]]s, even for [[wild Pokémon]]. Apparently, a picture or video recording of sufficient quality can also be scanned for information.

[[File:Pokédex no data.png|thumb|220px|A Pokédex displaying the "no data" message]]
Attempting to identify an unknown Pokémon, usually one not native to the region the Pokédex was designed for, yields the message "no data". This message may also appear when scanning a {{pkmn2|Mythical}} or [[Legendary Pokémon]].

In [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Unova]], the Pokédex has a male voice, while in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Kalos]] it has a female voice. The upgraded Pokédex Ash and {{an|Serena}} received at the end of ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'' also has a male voice in the Japanese version. The gender of the voice may vary in some international dubs.

Like in the games, the Pokédex has gone through various designs. This includes its shape and way of opening, display, as well as the aforementioned voice. The Unova Pokédex redesign in the anime is significant, as it shows all the viewing angles from the Pokémon, with the exception of the back.

Trainers without the luxury of a Pokédex may have access to other means of finding information. Some use high-tech computers, like {{an|Giovanni}} in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps On Thieving!]]'' or [[Shingo]] in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''. In several episodes, [[James]] used a deck of cards, which slightly resemble {{Trading Card Game}} cards. In the {{series|XY}}, the deck of cards was replaced with a hologram laptop, and in the {{series|Sun & Moon}} with a book.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Kanto Pokédex PO.png|thumb|250px|Kanto Pokédex in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Kanto Pokédex appeared during the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries, where they served the same purpose as in the original {{game|Red and Blue|s}} games. They recorded basic info of any Pokémon encountered, and detailed info of any Pokémon caught. Much like in the games, one was given to both {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} by [[Professor Oak]]. By the end of the [[PO04|last episode]] of the miniseries, Red had managed to capture all 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon, excluding only {{p|Mew}}. Blue's Pokédex was later crushed when his {{p|Blastoise}} accidentally crashed onto it while he was battling {{p|Mewtwo}} in the [[Cerulean Cave]].

Besides listing all the caught Pokémon in numerical order, the Pokédex was also able to sort the recorded Pokémon data by other factors, such as the type, as seen when Professor Oak tried to identify the Pokémon Blue had fought by going through the list of {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon in Red's Pokédex.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Pokédex EToP.png|thumb|150px|A Pokédex in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Pokémon Trainers receive their Pokédexes when their application to become a Pokémon Trainer is accepted. A Pokédex contains information on a Pokémon's moves and abilities, as well as general information (such as how some Pokémon, like {{p|Pikachu}}, dislike [[Poké Ball]]s) and the ability to tell if a Pokémon has critically low {{stat|HP}}. In addition, all Pokédexes contain a copy of the Trainer's license.

Updated versions of the Pokédex are released from time to time: in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} gave {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} a beta version of the latest model of the Pokédex.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Pokédex Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The Pokédexes of the holders from the {{chap|Emerald}}]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], only a [[Pokédex holder|select group of people]] have Pokédexes and they are highly respected as a result. The Pokédexes come in groups of three per region, and are generally given out along with a starter Pokémon from the region's Professor. The only exceptions to this rule are the second set of Unova Pokédexes and the Alola Pokédexes, both of which only have two. Each Pokédex has a holder registration system, meaning when it is assigned, the holder must register his or her name and fingerprints, which means each of the Pokédexes is only allowed to have one rightful owner. However, it is possible to transfer data from one Pokédex to an upgraded version, leaving the Pokédex that had its data transferred with no rightful owner, and thus, the Pokédex would be able to be reassigned to a new owner. It is shown that when the three Pokédexes from the same region are put together, a Pokédex will make a beeping sound as a signal to indicate that another Pokédex is nearby. This only works when held by their rightful owner, as seen in ''[[PS085|Gimme Shellder]]''. This signal seems to apply for all models of the Pokédex, and the Sinnoh Pokédex holder trio refers to it as the "morning sound" (Japanese: '''朝の音'''), due to it being used to wake the trio up every morning while they were together.

Much as in the anime, the Pokédex in Pokémon Adventures displays the known moves of an individual Pokémon, as well as its current health, its cry, its current moves, and can even track them. Unlike in the anime, the Pokédex entries are usually taken directly from the games and as such contains readable text rather than having the information spoken out loud. The Pikachu interaction feature from {{game|Yellow}} was added to {{adv|Red}}'s Pokédex, allowing him to see its mood (though he never is seen making much use of it, as {{adv|Yellow}} was in possession of his Pokédex for most of the {{chap|Yellow}}, and could tell [[Pika]]'s mood on her own anyway). The Pokédex's function takes over much of the control the games give to the player, being able to prevent a Pokémon's evolution, whereas Trainers without a Pokédex have no choice in the matter. As seen in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'', the Pokédex can discover where a Pokémon was first met by its Trainer, much as the feature added in {{game|Crystal}} allows one to view a Pokémon's origin. In addition to these functions, the Pokédex is able to record and project hologram images and can serve as a portable transporter with the assistance of a [[Pokégear]] and Mobile Adapter cable.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, {{adv|Professor Oak}} asks {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} to return their Pokédexes to him, so that he could upgrade them to National Dex. Though in the process, they get stolen by [[Orm]] and used by [[Carr]] to create a "black Pokédex" (Japanese: '''黒い図鑑'''). Later in the story, the new Pokédexes are received by the trio, and Red's old one is given to Yellow, while Blue and Green's old Pokédexes are destroyed by {{adv|Deoxys}}. In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, the Johto Pokédex holders get new Pokédexes as well, though it is unknown what happened to their original Pokédexes. In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, the Hoenn Pokédex holders get new Pokédexes as well, though it is unknown what happened to their original Pokédexes. In addition, the Pokédex formerly held by Cheren was later given back to Cedric Juniper, and eventually destroyed. The third Kalos Pokédex was found by [[Malva]] along with {{p|Fennekin}}, but it was destroyed after she deemed it worthless.

There are currently 21 Pokédexes in operation, 4 Pokédexes destroyed, and 6 Pokédexes that have their statuses unknown, coming in ten models based on region and mode. In addition, there is Team Rocket's black Pokédex, which is also currently missing.

While most of the holders have red Pokédexes, the Pokédex can also come in a variety of colors. Crystal, White, and Whitley have pink Pokédexes, while Diamond and Pearl carry a blue Pokédex and an orange Pokédex, respectively.

[[File:PokédexHANDY910isDiamondPearl111.jpg|thumb|220px|Pokédex HANDY910is]]
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring the Pokédex in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Hoenn region's model did not receive a TCG card, and the Generation I and Generation II Pokédexes, which featured model numbers on the Japanese cards (HANDY505 and HANDY808 respectively), did not show these model numbers on the English card. The Generation V Pokédex has no model number even in the Japanese card; it also has the same effect and English name as the Generation I Pokédex. Every card has allowed the player to look at a certain number of cards from the top of their deck and then either arrange them as they like, or in the case of Pokédex HANDY910is, choose one to put in their hand.

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Pokédex in two of his lectures:
** For ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「こまったら　ひらいてみよう　ポケモンずかん」 ''"When troubled, let's open the Pokédex."''
** For ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'', the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「こまったらけんさくいっぱつポケモンずかん」 ''"If you are stuck, one search of the Pokédex is all you need."''
* Many Pokédexes appear similar to Nintendo consoles, and other popular electronics.
** The Generation III Kanto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Advance SP]], while the Generation VII Kanto Pokédex resembles a {{wp|laptop}}.
** The Generation II Johto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Color]], whilst the Generation IV Johto Pokédex is in similar appearance to a [[Nintendo DSi]].
** Both versions of the Hoenn Pokédex resemble a [[Game Boy Advance]].
** The Sinnoh Pokédex resembles a [[Nintendo DS Lite]].
** The Unova Pokédex resembles an {{wp|iPod Nano}}.
** The Alola Rotom Pokédex resembles a [[Nintendo Switch]].
** The Galar Rotom Phone resembles a {{wp|smartphone}}.
* In most canons, the Pokédex is evidently encased in material that is invulnerable to almost anything within reason. It has been soaked in water and (in the anime) electrocuted and exposed to high-temperature flames, all with no ill effect. It is also voice-sensitive. There are some limitations to its ability; certain circumstances can prevent the Pokédex from accurately identifying its target:
** A Pokédex which has not received a [[National Pokédex|National Mode]] upgrade will not display any information on Pokémon not usually found in its home region, even if those Pokémon have been caught, and if captured, its number will be listed as "???" (or not listed at all in the case of Sun and Moon) in the [[Party|summary]] screen.
** Similarly, {{Gary}}'s Pokédex failed to identify {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} at the [[Viridian Gym]], displaying only static interference.
* All of Ash's Pokédexes have been red, as are all of the Pokédexes for male player characters in the games, while other characters have had other colors. May had a yellow one in Kanto, Paul has a dark blue Pokédex, Dawn has a pink Pokédex, [[Rhyanna]] has an ice blue Pokédex, [[Narissa]] has an orange Pokédex, and [[Mamie]] has a lavender Pokédex.
* The only Pokédex Ash has never owned is the Pokédex introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver, but such has been owned by {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]].
* The Kanto regional Pokédex (Generations I and III) and the Sinnoh regional Pokédex ({{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}) have 151 members, the smallest of all regional Pokédexes. The largest regional Pokédex is the Kalos regional Pokédex, with 454 members.
* The Pokédex models of [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}} rounded the weights of all Pokémon to full pounds except for {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, despite the Japanese games' use of tenths of kilograms since the start. From [[Generation III]] onward, all weights have been given to the nearest tenth of a pound.
* The Pokédex has usually lost several buttons with every new model, due to various upgrades: Kanto's first model has twenty-two buttons; Kanto's third model has nine; Johto's original model has five; Kanto's second model, both of Hoenn's models, and Sinnoh's only have three; and Johto's second model, both of Unova's models, the Kalos model, and the Alola model all apparently have no buttons whatsoever, solely using the touch-screen interface.
* Numerous toy Pokédexes have been manufactured by companies like {{wp|Tiger Electronics}} and [[Jakks Pacific]].
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the [[Pokégear]]'s map displays the hat of Ethan's icon in its updated Generation IV design; however, the Pokédex map displays the icon's hat in its Generation II design.
* The Pokédex entries in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions]] for Pokémon not native to [[Unova]] are the same as those from [[Pokémon Platinum Version]].

The '''Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'') is a digital encyclopedia created by [[Professor Oak]] as an invaluable tool to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the [[Pokémon world]]. It gives information about all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it acquires and presents information over the different media. However, they are also only given to a few Trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill. There are different types of Pokédexes and each Pokédex is special to a specific region.

Pokédex entries typically describe a Pokémon in only two or three sentences. They may give background information on the habitat or activities of a Pokémon in the wild or other information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. Pokédex entries also include height, weight, cry, footprint (prior to [[Generation VI]]), location, other forms, and a picture of the Pokémon.

==Functions==
The Pokédex is a handheld electronic encyclopedia device; one which is capable of recording and retaining information of the various Pokémon of the world. In order to accomplish Professor Oak's goal of a complete Pokémon database, the Pokédex is designed to find and record data on each Pokémon the Trainer meets. Pokémon are added to the Pokédex simply by encountering them in battle or, sometimes, by seeing a picture of the Pokémon. However, detailed entries are not recorded until the player catches the Pokémon, receives it as a prize/gift or acquires it in a trade.

===Entries===
The main feature of any Pokédex are the entries on each individual Pokémon, which provide details that would otherwise be unexplored in the games. Complete entries can only be seen for captured Pokémon, while uncaptured Pokémon only have limited information.

====Generation I====
In [[Generation I]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY505), the entries are simple and each individual section can be accessed directly from the listing. The first, and main option—"Data"—includes an image of the Pokémon, its number, name, {{pkmn|category}}, height, weight, and a short blurb. The second option—"[[Cry]]"—does not open a new screen; selecting it simply plays the Pokémon's cry. The last option—"Area"—displays the [[map]], along with flashing indicators at each location where the selected Pokémon can be found; in cases where the Pokémon is not available in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, is only available {{pkmn2|Legendary|once}}, or can only be found by [[fishing]] or in the [[Cerulean Cave|Unknown Dungeon]], the message "Area Unknown" will be displayed over the center of the map instead. {{game|Yellow}} allows players to print entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]].

====Generation II====
[[Generation II]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY808) retains the same elements as its predecessor, while adding the Pokémon's [[footprint]] to the information and, like Yellow, allows players to print entries. Unlike Generation I, selecting a Pokémon displays the entry in a new screen from which the other sections can be selected. This became the norm for subsequent generations. International versions also have a "Page" button for long Pokédex entries (in Generation I player simply had to press A button instead); Japanese versions did not have multi-page Pokédex entries.

In these games, entries that would normally display "Area Unknown" on the map simply display an unmarked map.

====Generation III====
[[Generation III]]'s Pokédex did not add anything to the main entry; however, Cry was given its own page, which displays the sound wave as it played. In addition, the Area section was changed to highlight locations instead of just marking them and can now display the locations of Pokémon obtainable by [[fishing]]. A Size section was added, which displays silhouettes of the Pokémon and the [[player character]] side by side. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} only, there is a Page button to switch between pages of multi-page Pokédex entries.

{{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s Pokédex (model HANDY909) displays entries in a much different format from Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. It was the first Pokédex to actually display a Pokémon's type in its entry, as well as its menu sprite. However, the Cry visuals were removed. Entries for Kanto Pokémon were taken from Red/Green for FireRed and Red/Blue for LeafGreen. Johto Pokémon entries were taken from Silver for FireRed and Gold for LeafGreen. Additionally, in the international versions, it is the first Pokédex to show long Pokédex entries in full, instead of splitting them into two pages. This was carried over to later games, including Emerald.

====Generation IV====
[[Generation IV]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY910) added numerous features, but of FireRed and LeafGreen's changes, it kept only type. Area now changes its highlight color depending on whether a Pokémon is found normally or exclusively using [[Honey]], and the player can view the differences between morning, day and night, with the default being the current [[time]]. Cry's display returned, with a bar display in addition to the wave display, and the ability to modify the cry via Chorus/Pan, Reverb/Filter and Loop. Weight was added to the Size section, which puts the Pokémon and the player character on either side of a balance scale. A new Forms section allows players to see gender and form differences within species, but only for forms they have already seen. Males and females of all Pokémon with differing gender are shown separately under in the Forms section even if there is no [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|visible gender difference]]. For a small list of Pokémon, if the player obtains a Pokémon from another country, they can [[Foreign Pokédex entries|change the language]] of that Pokémon's entry after meeting Meister. In Platinum, this function was expanded to all Pokémon, although it still requires Meister to update the Pokédex.

{{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} changed the formatting again, now displaying the list on the lower screen and the actual entry on the top screen. Cry's page was again removed. By selecting "view details", players can view Area, Size and Forms. Area no longer defaults to the current time or differentiated for Honey due to it no longer being a mechanic, Size now utilized both screens to display both Height and Weight at the same time, and Forms added a Compare option to see different forms side by side instead of having to scroll between them. Entries for Johto and Kanto Pokémon were taken from Gold for HeartGold and Silver for SoulSilver. Players can collect foreign Pokédex entries without the need to update their Pokédex. Also, while artwork shows a pink Pokédex for females, the in-game interface does not reflect this.

====Generation V====
[[File:Key Pokédex m Sprite.png|thumb|Male Unova Pokédex sprite when obtaining it]]
[[File:Key Pokédex f Sprite.png|thumb|Female Unova Pokédex sprite when obtaining it]]
The [[Generation V]] Pokédex is similar to the Pokédex from {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is displayed as a list on the right side of the lower screen with the selected Pokémon's sprite occupying the left side. Most of its functions are also similar to [[Generation IV]]'s. Instead of showing the time of day that a Pokémon can be caught, as in Generation IV, the Pokédex shows the seasons in which it can be found. Areas in which the Pokémon can be found flash red, and touching an area will show the methods by which it can be caught (walking in [[tall grass]], {{m|surf}}ing, or [[fishing]]). The height and weight comparison feature has been removed, but a section showing form differences and a search feature are added by [[Cedric Juniper]] when the player visits [[Mistralton City]]. The form difference section will now show [[Shiny Pokémon]] as well as form differences. The last sprite selected will become the one displayed in the main entry. The ability to collect foreign Pokédex entries now only applies to the first 493 Pokémon, but the player can now also collect Korean Pokédex entries. The cry page has been added again as well.

In Black 2 and White 2, after defeating [[Cheren]] for the first time, [[Bianca]] will upgrade the player's Pokédex with the [[Habitat List]], showing which Pokémon the player has already seen in the selected location, either normally, by finding in the water or via fishing rod (the latter two available later). If all Pokémon available in that place that are available via one of these three ways are seen (such as {{p|Purrloin}} and {{p|Patrat}} for tall grass on {{rt|19|Unova}}), the reference to the location in such way is marked with a [[Poké Ball]]-like stamp; after catching all Pokémon that are found via one of these three ways in current place, it gets marked with a colored Poké Ball-like stamp.

In all four games, extra Pokédex skins can also be downloaded through the [[Pokémon Global Link]].

====Generation VI====
The [[Generation VI]] Pokédex is card-shaped and has a holographic center that is visible when the two ends are separated. It is also separated into three categories: Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos, and each category has a different icon in the Pokédex menu. The Coastal Pokédex is represented by a blue stripe on the left side of a pentagon, the Central Pokédex is represented by a white stripe down the middle of a pentagon, and the Mountain Pokédex is represented by a red stripe on the right side of a pentagon. The symbol for the National Pokédex is a {{i|Poké Ball}}.

If the player obtains a Pokémon that was created in Generation VI, the symbol in the Pokédex indicating it has been caught is a combination of the three Kalos Pokédex symbols: a pentagon with vertical blue, white, and red stripes. This resembles the {{wp|flag of France}}, the region on which Kalos is based. If a Pokémon is transferred from a previous generation, the symbol will instead be a Poké Ball. The latter symbol can be updated to the former symbol if the player obtains a Pokémon of that species originating from Generation VI. If all Pokémon are obtained from Generation VI games, the Pokédex will be marked with a crown on the selection screen.

In the [[National Pokédex]], there are color codes used to represent Pokémon introduced in each [[generation]]: red for [[Generation I]], yellow for {{gen|II}}, green for {{gen|III}}, blue for {{gen|IV}}, pink for {{gen|V}}, and silver for {{gen|VI}}. Like in Generation V, players may choose the default entry image for each Pokémon species, as long as they have seen that gender, coloration, or form of that species before. Like in previous games, acquiring Pokémon from foreign-language games will unlock the ability to view entries in those languages, so long as the player owns or has owned a Pokémon from that language. This time, all Pokémon entries can be obtained, allowing for both Generation V and VI entries for the first time.

[[File:Key Rotom Pokédex Sprite.png|thumb|Rotom Pokédex sprite when obtaining it]]
====Generation VII====
The [[Generation VII]] Pokédex consists of a device specially-designed to be inhabited by a {{p|Rotom}}, an innovation that gives the Pokédex its own personality and is intended as a new way for humans and Pokémon to communicate. In addition to a standard Pokédex function, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] includes a detailed map that can point out nearby locations of interest, and remind the player of the next objective based on recent conversations with NPCs. The Rotom Pokédex is a rare model even in the [[Alola]] region where it was created.

Like the Kalos Pokédex, the Alola Pokédex is divided into several categories, with a section for each of the four main islands of the region. Unlike the Kalos Pokédex, Pokémon in Alola can be found in more than one section of the Pokédex. In addition to the number of Pokémon seen and owned, it also displays the total percentage of Pokédex completion. Event-exclusive [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], [[regional variant]]s and [[Mega Evolution]]s have separate entries from the rest of their species. Unlike previous generations, a Pokémon's gender is only shown separately under the Forms section if there is a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|visible gender difference]]. The player can also scan QR codes to add Pokémon they haven't encountered yet to the Pokédex, allowing them to check the Pokémon's location in Alola.

====Generation VIII====
The [[Generation VIII]] Pokedex is the [[Rotom Phone]], which is similar to the Rotom Dex.

===Search and order===
The original Pokédex had no search function.

In [[Generation II]], the ability to search for Pokémon by [[type]] was added, as well as the ability to sort by [[New Pokédex]] mode, Old Pokédex mode, [[List of Pokémon by name|A to Z]] mode and [[Unown Mode]].

In [[Generation III|Ruby and Sapphire]], the search function was expanded to allow searches by name and [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Players were also given the option to order Pokémon by Heaviest, Lightest, Tallest, or Smallest. Two modes were available, [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National]]. National mode was unlocked via a trade with [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]], or, in {{game3|Emerald|Emerald}}, defeating the [[Elite Four]].

However, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the search function was dropped altogether, instead choosing to expand the sort functions by adding lists of Pokémon by type and [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitat]]. Heaviest and Tallest orders were also removed. National Mode was unlocked by having obtained 60 Pokémon in the Pokédex, beating the Elite Four and completing the Sevii Island's sidequest.

[[Generation IV]] brought the Search function back, as well as Heaviest and Tallest orders. Habitat was dropped. Searches could now be conducted by [[List of Pokémon by body style|Form]], but not by Color. The two Pokédex modes were [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]] and National. National mode was unlocked by seeing every Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex.

{{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} added the ability to search by Height and Weight (instead of simply sorting by them), and also allowed search by Area ([[Johto]], [[Kanto]], or Unknown). National Mode was added by talking with [[Professor Oak]] in the [[S.S. Aqua]] port in [[Olivine City]] after defeating the Elite Four.

In [[Generation V]], the Pokédex for {{4v|Black|White}} allows the player to search for Pokémon with the following criteria: Order ([[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Number]], [[List of Pokémon by name|A to Z]], [[List of Pokémon by weight|Heavy to Light]], [[List of Pokémon by weight|Light to Heavy]], [[List of Pokémon by height|Tall to Short]], and [[List of Pokémon by height|Short to Tall]]), [[List of Pokémon by name|Name]] (All letters of the alphabet), Type, [[List of Pokémon by color|Color]], which was returned to the search after being dropped in [[Generation IV]], and [[List of Pokémon by body style|Form]]. Unlike in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the ability to search for Pokémon by area was dropped. By changing the Pokédex type, the player can search for [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Pokémon native to the Unova Region]] or from other regions, but in order to search for other Pokémon, the player must have first been obtained the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] upgrade from [[Cedric Juniper]] after the defeat of [[Ghetsis]]{{sup/5|BW}}/[[Iris]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}. After obtaining the upgrade, the player can switch the Pokédex type from the National Pokédex to the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] at will by simply tapping "SELECT" in the lower portion of the touch screen or by pressing the SELECT button on the DS System. In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, it is not possible to use the Search Function in the Habitat List mode of the Pokédex.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the ability to search for Pokémon that are not caught was added. Furthermore, only the currently set form of a Pokémon will be considered by the Pokédex when sorting and searching. All other forms will be ignored, and the form setting will not change to make the Pokémon match the search criteria. If the form is changed in the entry and the Pokémon either no longer matches the search criteria or belongs in a different place in the list, its entry will vanish or move according to its new form. The regional Pokédex is divided into three categories, each with separate Pokémon and search functions: Central Kalos (the first one unlocked), Coastal Kalos (unlocked by [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]] upon entering {{rt|8|Kalos}}), and Mountain Kalos (unlocked by Sina and Dexio in the gate between [[Coumarine City]] and {{rt|13|Kalos}}, after beating [[Ramos]]). The National Pokédex upgrade is obtained from Dexio after entering the Hall of Fame, upon entering Lumiose Station.

[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] kept all the search features from {{2v2|X|Y}}, with some new additions. This time, all forms of a Pokémon registered will be taken in account when sorting and searching, even if they aren't the currently set form. There is also an option to search for Pokémon whose [[Mega Evolution]] form or {{shiny}} appearance have been registered.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the Pokédex is divided into 4 Island Pokédexes, which feature the Pokémon found in each island of [[Alola]] (thus sharing species). Combined, they form the Alola Pokédex, which gathers all the Pokémon present in the Island Pokédexes, plus some others, like [[Legendary Pokémon]] and [[Ultra Beast]]s. The search/sorting function is only present in the Alola Pokédex proper. In addition to the features available in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a new option is present, that allows to search for Pokémon whose [[Alola Form]] has been seen. There is no National Pokédex mode in these games.


==Evaluation==
There are various mechanisms to evaluate the number of Pokémon in the Pokédex. These mechanisms will display a quote relating to the number of Pokémon seen or caught, often including a hint to the player of how to progress.

In all games in which [[Professor Oak]] appears, he will evaluate the player's Pokédex according to the number of Pokémon they have caught. In games which feature the [[National Pokédex]], Oak's evaluation takes this into account, but in a different way according to the game:
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Oak gives specific quotes according to the number of Pokémon caught in the regional Pokédex, and a general quote according to whether they have completed the National Pokédex or not
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Oak will only comment on the National Pokédex, according to the number of Pokémon caught
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Oak will comment on both the regional and National Pokédexes, according to the number of Pokémon caught

In [[Hoenn]]-based games, [[Professor Birch]] will evaluate the player's Pokédex:
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Birch comments on the regional Pokédex, according to the number of Pokémon caught, but only after [[Wally]] catches a {{p|Ralts}}. He will also give the number of Pokémon caught in the National dex, after it is obtained
* In {{game|Emerald}}, it works the same as {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, except that Birch will start to evaluate after the player gets the [[PokéNav]]
* In {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}, Birch will comment on the regional Pokédex according to the number of Pokémon seen, and the national Pokédex according to the number caught

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, as well as Oak evaluating the National dex as noted above, [[Professor Rowan]] will also evaluate the regional dex according to the number seen.

In {{game4|Black|White|Black 2|White 2}}, [[Professor Juniper]] will evaluate the regional Pokédex according to both seen and caught Pokémon.

In {{g|X and Y}}, [[Professor Sycamore]] will evaluate all three regional Pokédexes according to seen Pokémon, and the National Pokédex according to caught Pokémon.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] itself will evaluate according to the number of Pokémon seen in each of the four islands as well as in [[Alola]] as a whole.

==Completion==
[[File:Diploma RB.png|thumb|Diploma awarded in Red and Blue]]
:''See also: [[Diploma]]''
Completing the Pokédex is a common goal of Trainers and carries with it much esteem due to its difficulty, which has gradually escalated due to the fact that around 100 new Pokémon are introduced with each new generation. However, this is mitigated to a degree by new features added to the games, such as Wi-Fi and the [[Global Trade System]] in [[Generation IV]], and a less restrictive trading system (between PC boxes instead of only active teams) in [[Generation V]]. The exclusion of event Pokémon as a requirement for completing the Pokédex also makes it possible for people with no access to event distributions to complete the Pokédex.

[[File:XY National Diploma.png|thumb|left|250px|The diploma awarded for the completion of the [[National Pokédex]] in {{pkmn|X and Y}}]]
The in-game rewards are usually a congratulations from the director's avatar and a [[diploma]], usually one for completing the regional Pokédex and one for the National Pokédex. In {{v2|Emerald}}, the player could choose from one of the Johto [[starter Pokémon]] for completing the Hoenn Dex. The completion of the Pokédex also usually allows the player to upgrade his/her {{ga|Trainer Card}}. Also, in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the diploma will appear on the shelf in the player's bedroom.

In Generations I to III, the completion of the regional Pokédex is tracked by how many Pokémon the player has caught. However, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{v2|Platinum}}, the regional Pokédex is tracked simply by how many Pokémon the player has seen. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, though, it again registers only Pokémon that have been caught. In Generation V, though [[Professor Juniper]] originally evaluates the player's regional Pokédex based on the Pokémon the player has seen, they may still only receive a diploma after having caught all regional Pokémon. Completion of the National Pokédex is always based only on the number of Pokémon caught.

In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, the system is revised to give the player more in-game recognition of their achievements. Once all the Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex have been seen, Professor Juniper presents the player a [[Permit]], allowing access to the [[Nature Preserve]]. Once the player has caught all of the Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex, Professor Juniper will give the player an [[Oval Charm]] which increases the chances of finding [[Pokémon Egg]]s at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. When the player completes the [[National Pokédex]], Professor Juniper gives the player a [[Shiny Charm]], which increases the chances of encountering and hatching [[Shiny Pokémon]].

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Professor Sycamore]] will reward the player with an [[Oval Charm]] upon seeing all Pokémon in the Kalos Pokédex, except for {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}. Upon completing the [[National Pokédex]], the player will receive a [[Shiny Charm]] from Sycamore.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Professor Birch]] will reward the player with an [[Oval Charm]] upon seeing all Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex, except for {{p|Jirachi}}. Should the player complete the [[National Pokédex]], Birch will also reward the player with a [[Shiny Charm]]. Also in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the diplomas given by the director can be displayed in the player's [[Secret Base]] and can be viewed in the same way when obtaining it from the director. Other players visiting the secret base cannot see the full image on the diplomas, but instead will view it as an "impressive certificate".

==In the anime==
[[File:Zoey Glameow Pokédex scan.png|thumb|220px|A Pokédex scanning a {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}]]
===In the main series===
When a young [[Sam]], who later turned out to be {{an|Professor Oak}}'s younger self, was accidentally warped to a future of his own time, {{Ash}} explained to him how the Pokédex works, unknowingly giving him an idea. This is an example of a {{wp|causal loop}}, meaning the idea for the Pokédex came out of nowhere.

In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash receives his first Pokédex, apparently nicknamed "Dexter". Throughout the series, Ash uses it to either identify {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} he is not familiar with, check a Pokémon's moves, or identify Pokémon on request. Occasionally, though, Ash will scan Pokémon he has already seen, likely to either refresh his memory or out of curiosity.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]'', [[Officer Jenny]] tells Ash that the Pokédex can be used as an {{wp|Identity document|ID card}}. Since then, Ash has used his Pokédex to register for the various [[Pokémon League]]s he has participated in. As shown in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', the Pokédex can also be used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s registering to obtain a [[Contest Pass]] for entering [[Pokémon Contest]]s.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', {{an|Brock}} tells Ash that a [[Pokémon Trainer]] can use their Pokédex to exchange their Pokémon.

[[File:Ash Dawn Pokédexes.png|thumb|left|220px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} using the Pokédex]]
In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'' it was mentioned that the Pokédex entries were written by [[Professor Westwood V]] of {{an|Seafoam Island}}. Unlike the games, entries in the anime are pre-programmed into the database and do not require catching to give full information. In this way, they act more as a true encyclopedia than a data recording device. However, it should be noted that information relayed to the user may vary from time to time. This may happen even if the Pokédex remains unchanged in any way.

To look up information on a particular species, Trainers may simply point the Pokédex at an individual or manually enter it in. The Pokédex will then display a picture and read the entry out loud. The image displayed will be [[Ken Sugimori]]'s official artwork. In ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', however, a stylized art of {{p|Raikou}} was shown when {{jo|Jimmy}} looked it up.

In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, it was revealed that it can identify the Pokémon's [[level]] and learned [[move]]s, even for [[wild Pokémon]]. Apparently, a picture or video recording of sufficient quality can also be scanned for information.

[[File:Pokédex no data.png|thumb|220px|A Pokédex displaying the "no data" message]]
Attempting to identify an unknown Pokémon, usually one not native to the region the Pokédex was designed for, yields the message "no data". This message may also appear when scanning a {{pkmn2|Mythical}} or [[Legendary Pokémon]].

In [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Unova]], the Pokédex has a male voice, while in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Kalos]] it has a female voice. The upgraded Pokédex Ash and {{an|Serena}} received at the end of ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'' also has a male voice in the Japanese version. The gender of the voice may vary in some international dubs.

Like in the games, the Pokédex has gone through various designs. This includes its shape and way of opening, display, as well as the aforementioned voice. The Unova Pokédex redesign in the anime is significant, as it shows all the viewing angles from the Pokémon, with the exception of the back.

Trainers without the luxury of a Pokédex may have access to other means of finding information. Some use high-tech computers, like {{an|Giovanni}} in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps On Thieving!]]'' or [[Shingo]] in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''. In several episodes, [[James]] used a deck of cards, which slightly resemble {{Trading Card Game}} cards. In the {{series|XY}}, the deck of cards was replaced with a hologram laptop, and in the {{series|Sun & Moon}} with a book.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Kanto Pokédex PO.png|thumb|250px|Kanto Pokédex in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Kanto Pokédex appeared during the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries, where they served the same purpose as in the original {{game|Red and Blue|s}} games. They recorded basic info of any Pokémon encountered, and detailed info of any Pokémon caught. Much like in the games, one was given to both {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} by [[Professor Oak]]. By the end of the [[PO04|last episode]] of the miniseries, Red had managed to capture all 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon, excluding only {{p|Mew}}. Blue's Pokédex was later crushed when his {{p|Blastoise}} accidentally crashed onto it while he was battling {{p|Mewtwo}} in the [[Cerulean Cave]].

Besides listing all the caught Pokémon in numerical order, the Pokédex was also able to sort the recorded Pokémon data by other factors, such as the type, as seen when Professor Oak tried to identify the Pokémon Blue had fought by going through the list of {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon in Red's Pokédex.

==In the manga==
===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
[[File:Pokédex PBW.png|thumb|150px|A Pokédex in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]
A Pokédex appeared in ''[[PBW6|Pokédex Complete!]]''.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Pokédex EToP.png|thumb|150px|A Pokédex in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Pokémon Trainers receive their Pokédexes when their application to become a Pokémon Trainer is accepted. A Pokédex contains information on a Pokémon's moves and abilities, as well as general information (such as how some Pokémon, like {{p|Pikachu}}, dislike [[Poké Ball]]s) and the ability to tell if a Pokémon has critically low {{stat|HP}}. In addition, all Pokédexes contain a copy of the Trainer's license.

Updated versions of the Pokédex are released from time to time: in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} gave {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} a beta version of the latest model of the Pokédex.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Pokédex Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The Pokédexes of the holders from the {{chap|Emerald}}]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], only a [[Pokédex holder|select group of people]] have Pokédexes and they are highly respected as a result. The Pokédexes come in groups of three per region, and are generally given out along with a starter Pokémon from the region's Professor. The only exceptions to this rule are the second set of Unova Pokédexes and the Alola Pokédexes, both of which only have two. Each Pokédex has a holder registration system, meaning when it is assigned, the holder must register his or her name and fingerprints, which means each of the Pokédexes is only allowed to have one rightful owner. However, it is possible to transfer data from one Pokédex to an upgraded version, leaving the Pokédex that had its data transferred with no rightful owner, and thus, the Pokédex would be able to be reassigned to a new owner. It is shown that when the three Pokédexes from the same region are put together, a Pokédex will make a beeping sound as a signal to indicate that another Pokédex is nearby. This only works when held by their rightful owner, as seen in ''[[PS085|Gimme Shellder]]''. This signal seems to apply for all models of the Pokédex, and the Sinnoh Pokédex holder trio refers to it as the "morning sound" (Japanese: '''朝の音'''), due to it being used to wake the trio up every morning while they were together.

Much as in the anime, the Pokédex in Pokémon Adventures displays the known moves of an individual Pokémon, as well as its current health, its cry, its current moves, and can even track them. Unlike in the anime, the Pokédex entries are usually taken directly from the games and as such contains readable text rather than having the information spoken out loud. The Pikachu interaction feature from {{game|Yellow}} was added to {{adv|Red}}'s Pokédex, allowing him to see its mood (though he never is seen making much use of it, as {{adv|Yellow}} was in possession of his Pokédex for most of the {{chap|Yellow}}, and could tell [[Pika]]'s mood on her own anyway). The Pokédex's function takes over much of the control the games give to the player, being able to prevent a Pokémon's evolution, whereas Trainers without a Pokédex have no choice in the matter. As seen in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'', the Pokédex can discover where a Pokémon was first met by its Trainer, much as the feature added in {{game|Crystal}} allows one to view a Pokémon's origin. In addition to these functions, the Pokédex is able to record and project hologram images and can serve as a portable transporter with the assistance of a [[Pokégear]] and Mobile Adapter cable.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, {{adv|Professor Oak}} asks {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} to return their Pokédexes to him, so that he could upgrade them to National Dex. Though in the process, they get stolen by [[Orm]] and used by [[Carr]] to create a "black Pokédex" (Japanese: '''黒い図鑑'''). Later in the story, the new Pokédexes are received by the trio, and Red's old one is given to Yellow, while Blue and Green's old Pokédexes are destroyed by {{adv|Deoxys}}. In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, the Johto Pokédex holders get new Pokédexes as well, though it is unknown what happened to their original Pokédexes. In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, the Hoenn Pokédex holders get new Pokédexes as well, though it is unknown what happened to their original Pokédexes. In addition, the Pokédex formerly held by Cheren was later given back to Cedric Juniper, and eventually destroyed. The third Kalos Pokédex was found by [[Malva]] along with {{p|Fennekin}}, but it was destroyed after she deemed it worthless.

There are currently 21 Pokédexes in operation, 4 Pokédexes destroyed, and 6 Pokédexes that have their statuses unknown, coming in ten models based on region and mode. In addition, there is Team Rocket's black Pokédex, which is also currently missing.

While most of the holders have red Pokédexes, the Pokédex can also come in a variety of colors. Crystal, White, and Whitley have pink Pokédexes, while Diamond and Pearl carry a blue Pokédex and an orange Pokédex, respectively.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PokédexHANDY910isDiamondPearl111.jpg|thumb|220px|Pokédex HANDY910is]]
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring the Pokédex in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Hoenn region's model did not receive a TCG card, and the Generation I and Generation II Pokédexes, which featured model numbers on the Japanese cards (HANDY505 and HANDY808 respectively), did not show these model numbers on the English card. The Generation V Pokédex has no model number even in the Japanese card; it also has the same effect and English name as the Generation I Pokédex. Every card has allowed the player to look at a certain number of cards from the top of their deck and then either arrange them as they like, or in the case of Pokédex HANDY910is, choose one to put in their hand.

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Pokédex in two of his lectures:
** For ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「こまったら　ひらいてみよう　ポケモンずかん」 ''"When troubled, let's open the Pokédex."''
** For ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'', the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「こまったらけんさくいっぱつポケモンずかん」 ''"If you are stuck, one search of the Pokédex is all you need."''
* Many Pokédexes appear similar to Nintendo consoles, and other popular electronics.
** The Generation III Kanto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Advance SP]], while the Generation VII Kanto Pokédex resembles a {{wp|laptop}}.
** The Generation II Johto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Color]], whilst the Generation IV Johto Pokédex is in similar appearance to a [[Nintendo DSi]].
** Both versions of the Hoenn Pokédex resemble a [[Game Boy Advance]].
** The Sinnoh Pokédex resembles a [[Nintendo DS Lite]].
** The Unova Pokédex resembles an {{wp|iPod Nano}}.
** The Alola Rotom Pokédex resembles a [[Nintendo Switch]].
** The Galar Rotom Phone resembles a {{wp|smartphone}}.
* In most canons, the Pokédex is evidently encased in material that is invulnerable to almost anything within reason. It has been soaked in water and (in the anime) electrocuted and exposed to high-temperature flames, all with no ill effect. It is also voice-sensitive. There are some limitations to its ability; certain circumstances can prevent the Pokédex from accurately identifying its target:
** A Pokédex which has not received a [[National Pokédex|National Mode]] upgrade will not display any information on Pokémon not usually found in its home region, even if those Pokémon have been caught, and if captured, its number will be listed as "???" (or not listed at all in the case of Sun and Moon) in the [[Party|summary]] screen.
** Similarly, {{Gary}}'s Pokédex failed to identify {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} at the [[Viridian Gym]], displaying only static interference.
* All of Ash's Pokédexes have been red, as are all of the Pokédexes for male player characters in the games, while other characters have had other colors. May had a yellow one in Kanto, Paul has a dark blue Pokédex, Dawn has a pink Pokédex, [[Rhyanna]] has an ice blue Pokédex, [[Narissa]] has an orange Pokédex, and [[Mamie]] has a lavender Pokédex.
* The only Pokédex Ash has never owned is the Pokédex introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver, but such has been owned by {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]].
* The Kanto regional Pokédex (Generations I and III) and the Sinnoh regional Pokédex ({{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}) have 151 members, the smallest of all regional Pokédexes. The largest regional Pokédex is the Kalos regional Pokédex, with 454 members.
* The Pokédex models of [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}} rounded the weights of all Pokémon to full pounds except for {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, despite the Japanese games' use of tenths of kilograms since the start. From [[Generation III]] onward, all weights have been given to the nearest tenth of a pound.
* The Pokédex has usually lost several buttons with every new model, due to various upgrades: Kanto's first model has twenty-two buttons; Kanto's third model has nine; Johto's original model has five; Kanto's second model, both of Hoenn's models, and Sinnoh's only have three; and Johto's second model, both of Unova's models, the Kalos model, and the Alola model all apparently have no buttons whatsoever, solely using the touch-screen interface.
* Numerous toy Pokédexes have been manufactured by companies like {{wp|Tiger Electronics}} and [[Jakks Pacific]].
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the [[Pokégear]]'s map displays the hat of Ethan's icon in its updated Generation IV design; however, the Pokédex map displays the icon's hat in its Generation II design.
* The Pokédex entries in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions]] for Pokémon not native to [[Unova]] are the same as those from [[Pokémon Platinum Version]].

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} seem to have lost their way en route to [[Vermilion City]], frustrating {{an|Misty}}. The group stops to consult {{an|Brock}}'s map, and Ash determines that the trail they are following intersects {{rt|24|Kanto}}, which in turn leads straight to Vermilion City. Brock is satisfied and puts the map away. But, as they move, a large shadow suddenly falls across their path. Soon, the sunlight's intensity dims, revealing a {{AP|Charmander}} sitting upon a rock. After checking his [[Pokédex]], Ash is happy that he has a chance to catch a Charmander. Brock points out how weak its tail flame is, and that it probably needs help. However, Charmander resists Ash's attempt to catch it. Brock suggests that Ash try again, but Ash's second attempt also fails. Pikachu then climbs up onto the rock and talks to the Charmander. He then comes back down and manages to communicate to Ash that Charmander is waiting for someone to come by and pick it up. Brock decides that if it belongs to someone else, it is best to leave it, and they leave.

Farther down the trail, Ash and his friends discover the [[Pokémon Center]] that is on their map, and they enter just as it begins to rain. Despite Brock's concerns, Ash reassures him and points out that there is no way the Charmander would have waited around that long. However, they overhear laughter nearby, and look over to see a Trainer named [[Damian]] surrounded by a group of friends. They listen in on his conversation, Damian reveals that he had a Charmander, but since it was so weak, he left it on a rock out in the middle of the woods promising to return for it, though he admits he has no intention of doing so. Ash and his friends conclude that the Charmander they saw and that based on Damian's description are one and the same. This pushes the normally calm Brock over the edge, and he confronts Damian, demanding he retrieve his Charmander. Damian pushes him off, but Ash and Misty soon arrive to back up Brock. After Damian and his crew leave, Ash, Misty, and Brock hurry back to find Charmander.

The three race back through the pouring rain towards the rock where the Charmander is, and find it under attack from a gang of {{p|Spearow}}. Ash tries to drive them off by throwing a rock at them, but the Spearow turn their attention to him and his friends. Ash orders a {{m|Thunder Shock}} from Pikachu, and he obeys, scaring off the Spearow. The group quickly wrap Charmander up in their raincoats and race back to the Pokémon Center, begging Nurse Joy to help. Initially, Nurse Joy is angry at Ash and his friends, but Ash explains that it was Damian that left the Charmander there, taking advantage of Charmander's loyalty. Brock pleads with Nurse Joy to save the Charmander, and she promises to do whatever she can. After an intense and distressing wait, Nurse Joy finally comes out of the operating room and reports that Charmander has pulled through, and it will be fine by morning.

Morning arrives, and Brock's shout causes Ash to fall off the couch. It turns out Charmander has disappeared from the emergency room. Ash is certain that the Charmander has simply gone back to the rock. Brock wants to go after it again, but Misty points out that it is no use. Even though Damian does not care about it, the Charmander is still stubbornly loyal to him. Although Brock is still disappointed, Ash and his friends leave the Pokémon Center. Meanwhile, up ahead, Team Rocket has just finished digging another pitfall trap for the [[twerp]]s. However, Pikachu's light weight does not activate the trap. Jessie and James argue over who is responsible for this failure, until Meowth silences them with {{m|Fury Swipes|scratches}} to the face. Ash, Brock, and Misty, being a lot heavier, end up triggering the trap and fall into the hole. Team Rocket then appears, laughing at the fact that their trap worked. Pikachu tries to shock them, but Team Rocket's rubber uniforms insulate them against electricity. Pikachu tries to run, but they release a special ball that swallows Pikachu and also insulates his electricity.

Team Rocket prepare to leave with Pikachu in tow, though Charmander confronts them. Charmander, as translated by Meowth, orders them to give Pikachu back to Ash and the others. Team Rocket refuses, and warn Charmander to beat it or else. Charmander responds by closing its eyes, focusing hard, and unleashing a massive {{m|Flamethrower}}, which roasts Team Rocket. They drop the Pikachu and flee. Ash, Misty, and Brock, having gotten out of the pit, thank Charmander for its help, and Ash asks Charmander if it wants to come along with them. However, Damian, who witnessed Charmander's impressive Flamethrower, claims that he has come back for Charmander, just as he promised. Damian goes on to say that abandoning Charmander had made it stronger. Despite retorts from Ash and his friends, Damian brags about his methods of treating and training Pokémon. When he tries to recall Charmander by throwing his Poké Ball, it rejects him as its trainer by throwing the ball back at him with its tail. Enraged, Damian attempts to attack Charmander with all his Poké Balls. Charmander responds with a Flamethrower, followed by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which are aimed at Damian and prompt him to flee. After some negotiation, Brock insists Ash should have Charmander, and the {{type|Fire}} Pokémon happily jumps into Ash's Poke Ball.

==Trivia==
* This is the first episode that credits Izumi Shimura as an animation director.
* This is the second episode of a three-episode arc where {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} each of [[Kanto]]'s [[starter Pokémon]].
* {{an|Misty}} states that the group have been searching ten days for [[Vermilion City]] since they left [[Cerulean City]] at the end of ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''.
* [[Damian]] is shown to be carrying around twenty {{i|Poké Ball}}s, all allegedly containing Pokémon; however, it is later established that a Trainer can only carry six Pokémon at a time in their party, just like in the {{pkmn|games}}. This may be because he wasn't shown to have a [[Pokédex]]; therefore, he is not forced to use the storage system. Alternatively, he may have had a maximum of six Pokémon on his team already, while the rest of the Poké Balls were meant for recapturing {{AP|Charmander}}.
* This is the first episode mentioning that Pokémon could die.
* It is revealed in this episode that using a {{pkmn|battle}} to settle a personal argument is frowned upon, and that Pokémon battles are not supposed to occur in [[Pokémon Center]]s. Ironically, [[Generation IV]]'s {{v|Platinum}} introduces the concept of battling Trainers in Pokémon Centers.
* This is the first episode where {{MTR}} translates a Pokémon's speech.
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 9: Charmander'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series.
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.
* In the dub of this episode, Eric Stuart voices the [[Pokédex]], filling in for Nicholas James Tate. Eric would later go on to become the Pokédex's main voice actor in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'' after Nicholas leaves the show.

===Errors===
* When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} rush up to the rock to get a closer look at the shady Pokémon, the "Zs" underneath Ash's eyes disappear.
* Charmander's eye shape changes to resemble that of a {{p|Charizard}} whenever zoomed in upon.
* After [[Nurse Joy]] stops running, two extra footsteps are heard.
* When {{AP|Pikachu}} is running from {{TRT}}'s balloon, his feet have pads.
* The blurb mistakenly refers to {{p|Spearow}} as {{p|Pidgeotto}}.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[Pokémon TV]], this episode uses the English version of the PokéRAP and an instrumental version of the ending theme, instead of the dubbed versions.
* Ash's Pokédex sounds different than how it did before it was upgraded with a new voice in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]''.

===Dub edits===
* [[PokéRap]]: Day 1 (Poliwrath error)
* In the original Japanese version, Damian mentions to his friends that Charmander was so weak that it couldn't defeat a {{p|Poliwag}}. The English version changes it into the weakest opponents, which created a dialog error when {{an|Brock}} immediately remarks Charmander is naturally weak against Water-type Pokémon.

'''Beauty and The Beach''' (Japanese: '''アオプルコのきゅうじつ''' ''Holiday at {{tt|Aopulco|Acapulco}}'') is the 18th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on July 29, 1997 and in the United States on June 24, 2000.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

After finally escaping the deserted island, our heroes arrive in [[Acapulco]], the world's greatest resort. They begin their vacation on endless beautiful beaches lined with palm trees. Ash, Misty and Brock go joyriding in a cruiser belonging to an old man and, inadvertently, break it. Our heroes and their Pokémon work temporarily for the old man to pay off their debt. Business is booming, creating resentment from his main competitor. As a result, Team Rocket is employed to interfere. Ash and friends only see this as a temporary set back, and come up with a plan that will blow the old man’s competitor and her co-conspirators, Team Rocket, out of the water. During all of this commotion, Professor Oak and Ash's mother unexpectedly show up to witness Ash defeat his competitors and prove himself to be one step closer to becoming a Pokémon Master.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Porta Vista]], a beachside tourist town. Wasting no time, Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}} change into swimsuits and jump into the ocean. Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, still using their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Gyarados submarine]], spies on beach-goers from their vantage point underwater. They decide to steal the money of the wealthy tourists. Suddenly, [[Jessie]] notices a speedboat heading in their direction. The boat is piloted by Ash, who thought Brock borrowed it because Pikachu was on the boat. The boat collides with the sub and eventually crashes into a dock. [[Moe]], the owner of the boat, comes out to survey the damage. Ash, Brock, and Misty volunteer to work to help pay the cost of repairing the boat and the dock, and Moe agrees to this.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket's submarine has washed up onto a private beach and they are greeted by a woman named [[Brutella]]. [[James]] asks if they can work for her restaurant to help pay for repairs to their sub, and she agrees. Later, it is revealed that both Moe and Brutella are restaurateurs and rivals. For a while, Brutella's restaurant has more customers and Team Rocket taunts Ash and his friends over this. Ash decides to have his Pokémon help out as well. {{AP|Squirtle}} and Pikachu are told to hand out fliers advertising Moe's; {{AP|Pidgeotto}} and {{AP|Charmander}} are to help keep the grill going in the kitchen, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} is assigned to help Misty do her waitress duties. However, {{MTR}} sabotages everything, sending fliers flying, spraying oil on the stove, and throwing banana peels on the floor to trip up Misty and Bulbasaur. This causes the crowd to leave Moe's restaurant for Brutella's, and Ash apologizes.

Brutella arrives with Team Rocket a few minutes later and tells Moe that he needs to pay off his debts by the next day, otherwise she will take his boat as payment. Moe is despondent, as he does not think he will have the money by then. He explains that he had planned to take a world cruise in his boat. Ash then fervently encourages him not to give up on his dream. They then encounter {{an|Professor Oak}} and Ash's mother {{Delia}}. Professor Oak explains that the [[Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest]] is set to start shortly, and he suggests handing out fliers to the audience. He also recommends that Misty enter to win some prize money that can be used to help out Moe. Ash sends out Pidgeotto, who blankets the beach and town with fliers. Soon, Moe's restaurant is full again, much to Brutella's dismay.

As the contest begins, Moe sits with Delia and Professor Oak. He explains how Ash encouraged him not to give up on his dream. Delia says that she and the professor are in town with the [[Pallet Town]] Volunteer Patrol. The contest begins, with Brock as the announcer. Misty is the first contestant, and she uses her Starmie and Ash's Squirtle to form a UFO. Team Rocket's Ekans and Koffing are next, and they're costumed as an Omastar. They are kicked off of the stage by [[Gary Oak]] and his [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]], who are apparently the next contestants. Gary grabs the microphone from Brock and insults Ash, who jumps out of his seat and heads for the stage. Meanwhile, Brutella tells Jessie and James that she knows they are Team Rocket members and that she has fixed their submarine. She blackmails them into stopping the contest and destroying Moe's restaurant so that the audience will come to her restaurant instead. Jessie tells Brutella that they can destroy things without even trying.

Back onstage, Ash challenges the always-cocky Gary to a {{pkmn|battle}}, but Gary refuses, stating that he does not want to battle an amateur Trainer. Brock steps between the two rivals before Ash's anger gets the best of him. Just then, the Gyarados submarine emerges from the water, causing panic. People run away, thinking that it is a real {{p|Gyarados}} on a rampage. Ash grabs the microphone and tells the frightened audience members that it is a [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], not a Pokémon. Team Rocket then fires a heat-seeking missile from the sub. Under Gary's skeptical eye, Ash sends out Pidgeotto and Charmander. Charmander's {{m|Flamethrower}} attack hits the missile, which turns and changes course: straight for the submarine! Team Rocket pedal furiously to get away, but they crash into Brutella's restaurant, which is then destroyed by the missile.

Ash and his friends say farewell to Moe, who is heading off on his long-awaited cruise. Ash also says goodbye to Professor Oak and his mother, who is holding a trophy inscribed with the words: "First Place in Our Hearts: Ash Ketchum."

==Trivia==
[[File:EP018DeletedShot.png|thumb|225px|The infamous scene cut from the dub]]
[[File:EP018 deleted scene2.png|thumb|225px|Another shot cut from the dub]]
[[File:EP018 error.png|thumb|225px|Meowth's outstretched paw showing its pads]]
* Of the five [[banned episodes]] that have aired on Japanese television, this is the first one that was banned in all countries outside of Asia.
** The reason why the episode is "banned" is because there is a scene halfway in when [[James]] {{wp|Cross-dressing|cross-dressed}} and wears inflatable breasts for a beauty contest. Although intended for comic effect, the nature of the scene caused so much controversy that the whole episode was banned for almost three years, until it was aired as a heavily cut version that was only 18 minutes long. This edited version was titled "The Lost Episode" when it aired in 2000. The ending of this episode was shown as a flashback in the dub of ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'', indicating that they had access to the raw of this episode while dubbing the first season.
** According to Diana Pérez, the voice actress for [[Jessie]] in {{pmin|Latin America}}, this episode was dubbed into Latin American Spanish.{{fact}} She additionally commented that when dubbing anime, the dub staff usually receives the uncensored versions instead of the already-cut 4Kids-edited version.{{fact}} This could mean that the episode was translated by Western dubbers, since these are all based on the US version, but it was still never aired for those regions.
* This episode marks the first chronological appearance of [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's Gyarados submarine]].
* After premiering on June 24, 2000, this episode was rerun only on August 18, 2000 and then never shown again in the United States.
* Even though the English dub removed James's inflatable breasts, this episode is not featured on streaming services and home video releases. Furthermore, this episode was only aired twice when the show aired on Kids' WB!, and was never given a rerun on Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Disney XD.
* The Japanese [[Netflix]] lists an English blurb for the episode. "Ash accidentally destroys an old man's ship when he and his friends visit the resort town of Porta Vista, a beachside tourist destination."
* This episode was not dubbed when [[Nathan Price]] was voicing Meowth, so it is chronologically the first episode in which [[Maddie Blaustein]] portrays Meowth.
* This episode's dub title is a reference to the fairytale, ''{{wp|Beauty and the Beast}}''. It shares this trait with the episode ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''.
** This episode shares its dub title with a Nintendo Comics System story of the same name.
* Misty's beach ball appears similar to a [[Master Ball]]. This Master Ball beach ball later reappeared in ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]'' and the [[Pikachu short]] ''[[PK19|Pikachu's Ice Adventure]]''.
* This episode is the one where Misty and Brock chronologically meet Delia for the first time, and also Professor Oak in person. They previously met Professor Oak via video call in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''.
** Misty also meets Gary for the first time. Brock had previously battled Gary at the [[Pewter Gym]] before [[EP005|Ash arrived there]].
* Contrary to popular belief, Delia does not win the Beauty contest in either version, as she never entered. The winner of the contest is actually unknown and unspecified.
* Of all banned episodes, this is the only one that was intended to be skipped completely by 4Kids, and ironically, was the only one that eventually made it to the air.
** It is also the episode which has the longest time between its original Japanese airing and its first dub airing, at nearly three years.
[[File:EP018 frame removed following EP038.png|thumb|225px|This frame depicting Misty posing in a bikini and Pikachu holding a paper fan and a sign reading "{{tt|日本一|にほんいち}}" (Japan's #1 best) was removed following [[EP038]]]]
* In the first airing of the Japanese version a subliminal frame is shown in the middle of the impact animation when Misty throws the beach ball at Ash. This frame depicts Misty posing in a bikini and Pikachu holding a paper fan and a sign reading "{{tt|日本一|にほんいち}}" (Japan's #1 best). The frame was removed following [[EP038]].
* This is one of the few occasions where the Japanese writing on signs and fliers is not painted out in the American version.
* In the Japanese version of [[EP040]], Jessie refers to Misty as being a "flat-brat girl", a reference to Jessie and James beating Misty in the swimsuit competition.
* Chronologically, this marks the first time James says "fight" three times at the end of the Team Rocket motto instead of just once. This is due to 4Kids starting this practice before this episode was dubbed, specifically "[[EP085|Fit to Be Tide]]."

===Errors===
* In the dub, Brock mistakenly calls [[Misty's Starmie]] a {{p|Staryu}}.
* Meowth's paw is seen with pads when talking to Jessie about fixing the Gyarados Submarine. Meowth in general are not usually seen as having this body feature.
* When Ash calls out Pidgeotto and Charmander, Charmander's tail-flame is in front of Pidgeotto's foot, even though Charmander is behind Pidgeotto.
* When Ash calls out all of his Pokémon, {{AP|Butterfree}} is strangely absent, even though he said, "I choose everybody!"
* When Meowth is seen using the fan to blow the flyers away, the lines on his charm are missing.
* After Ash says goodbye to Delia and Professor Oak, the colors of the label and stripe on his [[bag|backpack]] are swapped.

===Dub edits===
[[File:EP018 English title card.png|thumb|225px|English title card]]
[[File:EP018 trophy without edit.png|thumb|225px|Trophy in the Japanese original]]
[[File:EP018 trophy edit.png|thumb|225px|Trophy in the dub]]
* The font of this episode's English title card is set in the Gadget font, unlike all the other title cards of the season.
* In the English version, Moe tells Misty that she reminds him of his granddaughter, whereas in the Japanese version, he says he's looking forward to eight years later.
* Ash and Brock were inviting everyone to have peculiar dishes such as French-fried flounder, seven-layered crab cakes, squid on a stick, and clam-juice snow-cones in the dubbed version. In the original, they only invited everyone to have ramen and shaved-ice and to take a break from the sun.
* The Japanese text on the trophy is replaced by English text.
* The term "Oil" on the oil barrel that Meowth is pumping into the restaurant is edited out.
* Unusually, most of the Japanese texts in the episode were not edited out.
* Brock's mention of the "$1,000 prize for the winner of each category" is dub added.
* James was wearing an inflatable bikini. This scene, which caused the episode to be banned for almost three years for being unable to get past the censors, was cut completely from the dub.
** In one of the cut-out scenes, James says to Misty, "When you're older, you'll have a chest like this".
** After Misty finishes her turn at the contest, the next footage shows James showing off his inflatable bikini. Then, their Pokémon posing as an Omastar come on stage. Only the Pokémon were seen in the dub.
** After Brock comments about Gary's cheerleaders, Jessie and James, with the bikini still on are seen fuming before being pulled aside by Brutella. In the dub, this scene skips and goes straight to their conversation with Brutella.
* During the part where fliers for the contest were shown, {{so|Pokémon World}} was played in the background, but the episode used [[Pokémon Theme]] as the intro.
* James's response to Brutella's command to destroy Moe's restaurant is different between the two versions. Originally, James says "We'll go through the fire and through the water!", which is also the first line in [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]. In the dub, he says "You can count on us! Destroying things is our specialty!"
* In the original scene where Jessie retakes command of the Gyarados submarine, she uses the "-baba" suffix, a normal trademark of the hag, by accident. Because Brutella doesn't use that term in the dub, the scene is rewritten to simply have Brutella's raspy voice rubbing off on Jessie instead.
* In the Japanese version, no winner is specified, and it's implied that Delia was only holding on to it for the winner. In the dub, Ash is the winner, being awarded for saving the contest from Team Rocket and Brutella.

[[File:EP018DeletedShot.png|thumb|225px|The infamous scene cut from the dub]]

[[File:EP018 error.png|thumb|225px|Meowth's outstretched paw showing its pads]]
* Of the five [[banned episodes]] that have aired on Japanese television, this is the first one that was banned in all countries outside of Asia.
** The reason why the episode is "banned" is because there is a scene halfway in when [[James]] {{wp|Cross-dressing|cross-dressed}} and wears inflatable breasts for a beauty contest. Although intended for comic effect, the nature of the scene caused so much controversy that the whole episode was banned for almost three years, until it was aired as a heavily cut version that was only 18 minutes long. This edited version was titled "The Lost Episode" when it aired in 2000. The ending of this episode was shown as a flashback in the dub of ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'', indicating that they had access to the raw of this episode while dubbing the first season.
** According to Diana Pérez, the voice actress for [[Jessie]] in {{pmin|Latin America}}, this episode was dubbed into Latin American Spanish.{{fact}} She additionally commented that when dubbing anime, the dub staff usually receives the uncensored versions instead of the already-cut 4Kids-edited version.{{fact}} This could mean that the episode was translated by Western dubbers, since these are all based on the US version, but it was still never aired for those regions.
* This episode marks the first chronological appearance of [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's Gyarados submarine]].
* After premiering on June 24, 2000, this episode was rerun only on August 18, 2000 and then never shown again in the United States.
* Even though the English dub removed James's inflatable breasts, this episode is not featured on streaming services and home video releases. Furthermore, this episode was only aired twice when the show aired on Kids' WB!, and was never given a rerun on Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Disney XD.
* The Japanese [[Netflix]] lists an English blurb for the episode. "Ash accidentally destroys an old man's ship when he and his friends visit the resort town of Porta Vista, a beachside tourist destination."
* This episode was not dubbed when [[Nathan Price]] was voicing Meowth, so it is chronologically the first episode in which [[Maddie Blaustein]] portrays Meowth.
* This episode's dub title is a reference to the fairytale, ''{{wp|Beauty and the Beast}}''. It shares this trait with the episode ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''.
** This episode shares its dub title with a Nintendo Comics System story of the same name.
* Misty's beach ball appears similar to a [[Master Ball]]. This Master Ball beach ball later reappeared in ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]'' and the [[Pikachu short]] ''[[PK19|Pikachu's Ice Adventure]]''.
* This episode is the one where Misty and Brock chronologically meet Delia for the first time, and also Professor Oak in person. They previously met Professor Oak via video call in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''.
** Misty also meets Gary for the first time. Brock had previously battled Gary at the [[Pewter Gym]] before [[EP005|Ash arrived there]].
* Contrary to popular belief, Delia does not win the Beauty contest in either version, as she never entered. The winner of the contest is actually unknown and unspecified.
* Of all banned episodes, this is the only one that was intended to be skipped completely by 4Kids, and ironically, was the only one that eventually made it to the air.
** It is also the episode which has the longest time between its original Japanese airing and its first dub airing, at nearly three years.
[[File:EP018 frame removed following EP038.png|thumb|225px|This frame depicting Misty posing in a bikini and Pikachu holding a paper fan and a sign reading "{{tt|日本一|にほんいち}}" (Japan's #1 best) was removed following [[EP038]]]]
* In the first airing of the Japanese version a subliminal frame is shown in the middle of the impact animation when Misty throws the beach ball at Ash. This frame depicts Misty posing in a bikini and Pikachu holding a paper fan and a sign reading "{{tt|日本一|にほんいち}}" (Japan's #1 best). The frame was removed following [[EP038]].
* This is one of the few occasions where the Japanese writing on signs and fliers is not painted out in the American version.
* In the Japanese version of [[EP040]], Jessie refers to Misty as being a "flat-brat girl", a reference to Jessie and James beating Misty in the swimsuit competition.

===Errors===
* In the dub, Brock mistakenly calls [[Misty's Starmie]] a {{p|Staryu}}.
* Meowth's paw is seen with pads when talking to Jessie about fixing the Gyarados Submarine. Meowth in general are not usually seen as having this body feature.
* When Ash calls out Pidgeotto and Charmander, Charmander's tail-flame is in front of Pidgeotto's foot, even though Charmander is behind Pidgeotto.
* When Ash calls out all of his Pokémon, {{AP|Butterfree}} is strangely absent, even though he said, "I choose everybody!"
* When Meowth is seen using the fan to blow the flyers away, the lines on his charm are missing.
* After Ash says goodbye to Delia and Professor Oak, the colors of the label and stripe on his [[bag|backpack]] are swapped.

===Dub edits===
[[File:EP018 English title card.png|thumb|225px|English title card]]
[[File:EP018 trophy without edit.png|thumb|225px|Trophy in the Japanese original]]
[[File:EP018 trophy edit.png|thumb|225px|Trophy in the dub]]
* The font of this episode's English title card is set in the Gadget font, unlike all the other title cards of the season.
* In the English version, Moe tells Misty that she reminds him of his granddaughter, whereas in the Japanese version, he says he's looking forward to eight years later.
* Ash and Brock were inviting everyone to have peculiar dishes such as French-fried flounder, seven-layered crab cakes, squid on a stick, and clam-juice snow-cones in the dubbed version. In the original, they only invited everyone to have ramen and shaved-ice and to take a break from the sun.
* The Japanese text on the trophy is replaced by English text.
* The term "Oil" on the oil barrel that Meowth is pumping into the restaurant is edited out.
* Unusually, most of the Japanese texts in the episode were not edited out.
* Brock's mention of the "$1,000 prize for the winner of each category" is dub added.
* James was wearing an inflatable bikini. This scene, which caused the episode to be banned for almost three years for being unable to get past the censors, was cut completely from the dub.
** In one of the cut-out scenes, James says to Misty, "When you're older, you'll have a chest like this".
** After Misty finishes her turn at the contest, the next footage shows James showing off his inflatable bikini. Then, their Pokémon posing as an Omastar come on stage. Only the Pokémon were seen in the dub.
** After Brock comments about Gary's cheerleaders, Jessie and James, with the bikini still on are seen fuming before being pulled aside by Brutella. In the dub, this scene skips and goes straight to their conversation with Brutella.
* During the part where fliers for the contest were shown, {{so|Pokémon World}} was played in the background, but the episode used [[Pokémon Theme]] as the intro.
* James's response to Brutella's command to destroy Moe's restaurant is different between the two versions. Originally, James says "We'll go through the fire and through the water!", which is also the first line in [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]. In the dub, he says "You can count on us! Destroying things is our specialty!"
* In the original scene where Jessie retakes command of the Gyarados submarine, she uses the "-baba" suffix, a normal trademark of the hag, by accident. Because Brutella doesn't use that term in the dub, the scene is rewritten to simply have Brutella's raspy voice rubbing off on Jessie instead.
* In the Japanese version, no winner is specified, and it's implied that Delia was only holding on to it for the winner. In the dub, Ash is the winner, being awarded for saving the contest from Team Rocket and Brutella.
* Chronologically, this marks the first time James says "fight" three times at the end of the Team Rocket motto instead of just once. This is due to 4Kids starting this practice before this episode was dubbed, specifically "[[EP085|Fit to Be Tide]]."

[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} of {{TRT}} often attempt to steal Pokémon using trickery and [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguises]]. Sometimes their disguises are accompanied by a fake name, usually when the wish to compete in an activity without the public knowing of their criminal status. Many of times their aliases are other people, as they attempt to impersonate them. {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} almost always believe they have met a new person when they encounter the disguised rouges before finding Team Rocket out, however, a few of Team Rocket's aliases have kept them fooled and still identify with them as different people, most notably Jessilina.

Jessie tried to pass of as Nurse Joy (while standing completely still and not saying or doing anything) but {{an|Brock}} was not fooled for a second. Jessie attempted disguising as Nurse Joy again with a similar costume and mask in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me if You Can]]'', but once again, Brock managed to detect that it was an impostor, this time going over the details versus the real Nurse Joy and Jessie's "cheap imitation." Then she repeated the disguiSe once again in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'' in an attempt to replace a real Nurse Joy as a contest judge, but of course Brock figured that "Nurse Joy" was a phony.

'''Abra and the Psychic Showdown''' (Japanese: '''ケーシィ！ちょうのうりょくたいけつ！''' ''{{tt|Casey|Abra}}! Psychic Showdown!'') is the 22nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 26, 1997 and in the United States on October 6, 1998.
{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

The party finally arrives in Saffron City where a young girl manages a gym of Pokémon using her psychic powers. If Ash defeats this particular Gym Leader, Ash can earn a gold badge. Gathering all their strength, Ash and Pikachu challenge her. She happily accepts, but adds the strange condition that if Ash loses, they must become her friend. The official gym battle begins, but Pikachu is helpless against the young girl's Pokémon, Abra. To make matters worse, Abra evolves in the middle of the match, turning into the more powerful, Kadabra. Employing even stronger psychic powers against Pikachu, Saffron City's Gym Leader defeats Ash. As this strange story unravels, Ash encounters a mysterious man who seems to be the key to solving the puzzle to this young girl's disturbing power.

==Plot==
The scene opens focusing on a silhouette of a [[Sabrina|woman]], holding a visible little girl. In the woman's eyes, she sees {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} making their way towards [[Saffron City]]. However, Ash and his friends appear lost and Ash blows up on {{an|Misty}} for her lack of directions, starting a full-scale argument among the group. They stop arguing when they spot a little girl giggle nearby bouncing a ball. She runs off as Ash follows. The forest gives way to a massive cliff drop-off and Ash plummets, but he calls out {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to save him with {{m|Vine Whip}}. The Pokémon pulls him up to safety as they notice that the girl has disappeared. However, they spot Saffron City in the distance and Ash is excited for his upcoming [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}.

As they enter the city, [[Jessie]] and [[James]], disguised as Hawaiian women, kiss Ash and put leis on him. They say that Ash and his friends are the one-millionth, one millionth and first, one millionth and second, and one millionth and third visitors to the city and they take them to a skyscraper for a prize. When they get there, James grabs {{AP|Pikachu}} with rubber gloves and Jessie pushes the three onto a warp tile, sending them to an isolated room with no exit. They find out that they were set up as a television screen drops down. When {{TRT}} removes the [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]], Ash freaks out at that they both kissed him. Team Rocket recites their {{motto}}, but Ash and his friends ignore Team Rocket. They show Pikachu bound up and Ash orders them to give Pikachu back. The monitor cuts off, but Team Rocket did not cut the link. As Jessie and James work to fix it, {{MTR}} points to the little girl that got inside, the same one Ash saw earlier. She emits a blue aura, freezing Jessie and James, unable to move. The girl takes Pikachu and teleports into the same room with Ash, giving Pikachu back. Ash thanks her, but the girl glows again and points to Ash and his friends, teleporting them.

When Ash and his friends reappear, they find themselves in front of the [[Saffron Gym]]. [[Sabrina's father|A man]] runs up behind them and informs them where they are, suggesting that they avoid the Gym and runs off. Ash ignores the warning and heads inside, intending to win the {{Badge|Marsh}}. They go inside, finding it empty at first. They run into a door and look inside, finding several people in the room practicing telekinetic powers. A man confronts them and Ash asks for a match against Sabrina. When Misty asks what the people in the room were doing, he demonstrates by holding up a spoon and bending it a little by telekinesis. Ash shows off by bending the spoon completely by force, prompting the others to turn away embarrassed. The man leads them to the arena and bows down in front of a gate, asking Sabrina to come out. The little girl appears, her eyes glowing red, using telekinetic force to send the man running. Ash asks for his official match from Sabrina and the little girl agrees. She agrees if Ash and his friends play with her if he loses. The gate opens as the little girl is revealed to be sitting on the real Sabrina's lap. The doors close, sealing them in.

Sabrina and the little girl move over telekinetically as the arena lights up. The little girl tosses a {{ball|Poké}}, sending out {{TP|Sabrina|Abra|Kadabra}} while Ash sends Pikachu. Pikachu acts aggressive but notices Abra is {{status|sleep}}ing. Pikachu bounces around Abra, but it is sound asleep. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] and it says that Abra sleeps eighteen hours a day but can employ telekinesis while asleep. Pikachu fires off a {{m|ThunderShock}}, but Abra wakes up and uses {{m|Teleport}} to dodge and get behind Pikachu. Abra suddenly [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}. Ash checks his Pokédex again. He thinks that it is unfair due to it being a one on one match, but evolving during the match does not count as using two Pokémon. Ash orders Pikachu to fill the stadium with lightning to negate Kadabra's teleportation. Pikachu launches several bolts of electricity into the ceiling, pooling it into a massive blast and sending it down towards Kadabra. It uses {{m|Confusion}} to coalesce the attack and send it back to Pikachu as a dragon, causing serious damage. It uses {{m|Psychic}} to control Pikachu's body, forcing him to get up and dance. Kadabra suddenly sends Pikachu up towards the ceiling and back down, repeating the attack several times before Ash decides to forfeit the match.

Since he lost, he has to fulfill the request of being the little girl's friend. She employs telekinesis to teleport them to another area. They reappear in a deserted town. They check the nearest house and find it empty. However, there is a set table complete with cake. Ash checks around as {{an|Brock}} samples the cake. When he bites into it, he finds it to be a plastic fake. Ash enters the bathroom and sees a woman in the bathtub. He turns away, but Pikachu points to the mirror, noticing that the figure is really a doll. Misty and Brock realize that they are in a dollhouse. The place rumbles as the house roof comes away, showing a giant Sabrina and the little girl towering above them. She slams her hand into the dollhouse as they run away, noticing that they were shrunk by telekinesis and are in her toy box. The little girl laughs uncontrollably as Ash and his friends run into a picture frame, showing the little girl and her parents. With nowhere to run, the little girl approaches, dribbling a ball and rolling it towards Ash and company. The man they ran into earlier appears and uses teleportation to get them out.

Ash and company reappear in Saffron as the man orders them to leave, mentioning that Sabrina is very dangerous. Ash is not willing to leave without the Badge and thinks that he just needs to attack faster to beat Sabrina. The man's eyes glow red as he employs telekinesis on Ash, dropping his pants and forcing him to dance which makes Misty cover her eyes. The man laughs as he stops the telekinesis. Ash pulls up his pants unabashed and charges forward and asks to be taught telekinesis, but the man pushes him back, mentioning that a person must be born with it. Ash is still determined and steps forward as the man forces him to the ground. Ash gets back up as the man continues to use telekinesis to push Ash to the ground. He continues to crawl forward, shocking the man as he asks for help. It convinces the man to tell Ash that {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon can beat Sabrina, found in [[Lavender Town]]. The man teleports away as his friends help Ash up. Ash decides to go to Lavender Town as the man reappears nearby and mentions that he may be able to help Sabrina. Ash and his friends press on to Lavender Town. Meanwhile, Meowth drags Jessie and James, still frozen, as they follow.

==Trivia==
* During this episode, it is stated that {{t|Ghost}} types are strong against {{t|Psychic}} types, when, during [[Generation I]], the generation of this episode's airing, Psychic types were actually ''immune'' to Ghost-type moves.
** This was more likely a mistake of the game than the anime however, as the official Nintendo strategy guide states that Psychic-type Pokémon take extra damage from Ghost-type Pokémon, and in Pokémon Red and Blue, a Trainer in the Saffron Gym mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear Bugs and Ghosts". (Pokémon Yellow amends this dialogue to say they "only fear Bugs.")
* This is the first episode in which Ash challenges a Gym Leader and doesn't get the Gym Badge later in the same episode.
* Ash and his friends finding themselves in a dollhouse may be a reference to the {{wp|The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)|The Twilight Zone}} episode {{wp|Stopover in a Quiet Town}}.
* When Pikachu fills the stadium with lightning to negate Abra's teleportation, the 'striking' sound effect is from {{wp|Back to the Future}} when the DeLorean travels through time.
* This is the only anime episode to date to feature a [[warp tile]].
* The book ''[[Night in the Haunted Tower]]'' is partially based on this episode.
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 7: Psychic'' of [[Pokémon Elements]].

===Errors===
* Sabrina's dad states that only Ghost-type Pokémon can beat Psychic Pokémon. However, even in Generation I, Psychic types were only weak to Bug-type moves.
* The Pokédex claims that Kadabra is the Psychic Pokémon, not the Psi Pokémon.
* At the end of the episode, the dirt path vanishes between shots.

===Dub edits===
* [[PokéRap]]: Day 2
* In the Japanese version, when Jessie and James are disguised as Hawaiian girls and they lead Ash and his friends to the skyscraper, Jessie claims that she is taking them to a party to commemorate Ash and his friends being the millionth visitors to Saffron City. In the dub, this is changed to Jessie supposedly directing them to a "grand prize room."
* The scene where Team Rocket are acting as if they are presenting the "Prepare For Trouble Make It Double Show", as well as the scene where Ash and his friends comment about said show getting cancelled soon, was only in the dub. In the Japanese version, Ash and his friends are simply bored by hearing Team Rocket say their motto again.

==Blurb==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The ship sails out of [[Vermilion City]] as Ash and his friends chow down. The Gentleman comes up to Ash and commends his Butterfree. He proposes a [[trade]] between his Raticate and Ash's Butterfree. Ash asks Brock if he should go through with it, but Brock is too attracted to the woman next to him to respond, so Ash agrees to go ahead with the trade. They go to a trade machine and execute the trade; Ash acquires {{AP|Raticate}} while the man gets Butterfree. Meanwhile, Jessie and Meowth are extremely displeased at James's being conned into buying a worthless Pokémon such as Magikarp. {{an|Misty}} finds Ash looking out at sea, having second thoughts about the trade, and unsure if Butterfree will be well taken care of. He mentions that, as the trade was happening, he remembered the experiences he had shared with Butterfree.

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

Ash sends out {{AP|Pidgeotto}} to join others in a group {{m|Gust}} attack. Pikachu group uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to send Team Rocket flying off the ship and foiling the attack. However, during the battle the ship has sailed directly into a storm. Strong waves begin to batter the ship. James drops the Poké Ball holding Magikarp, and runs after it. Meanwhile, Ash finds the Gentleman, and requests that the trade be reversed. The man agrees, and they begin to execute a reverse trade. The captain tries to calm the passengers, assuring them that the ship is unsinkable, but, after another wave crashes against the ship, he goes down in a lifeboat. The passengers quickly begin scrambling onto the other lifeboats to evacuate. Misty and Brock find Ash finishing the trade. Ash grabs his Poké Ball, but another wave causes him to drop it. Ash runs after it as his friends follow.

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

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

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

===Dub edits===
* [[PokéRap]]: Day 5 (Version 2)
* In the original version, Ash calls the man to whom he trades his Butterfree a "gentleman" and thus is acknowledged as {{tc|Gentleman|one}} on Bulbapedia.
* Several instances of Japanese writing are replaced in the dub with the English equivalents. At one point during the montage of trainers engaging in different activities aboard the ship, the shot of a salesman selling Pokéballs has the Japanese writing on the sign next to the salesman translated into English ("SALE!"), and instead of rather than letting the film roll as usual, a freeze-frame of the final frame of the shot was used and zoomed out to presumably make the paint edit easier.
* After the gentleman asks if anyone is brave enough to challenge his Raticate, in the Japanese version Ash claims he's "fired up" as flames briefly flash in his eyes. In the dub, Ash simply says "I can't wait!" but the flames in his eyes remain.
* Some additional sound effects are added to certain scenes in the dub, such as Butterfree and Raticate's battle (where their vocal effects are added as they keep striking each other in mid-air), the St. Anne leaving port (where additional crashing wave sounds are added) and right before Misty goes to talk to Ash after the trade (where the ship's horn is added to the shot.)
* After Jessie announces that Team Rocket will take their Pokemon, in the Japanese version the crowd is silent. The dub adds overlapping dialogue from the crowd in reaction (most notable is a man asking "Our Pokémon?" and a boy saying "They can't do that!")
* When the force of the waves knock Butterfree's Pokéball out of Ash's hands, Ash reacts silently in the Japanese version, whereas in the dub he shouts "No!"
* The scene with Giovanni talking with Jessie, James and Meowth was used in the VHS [[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]] with alternate dialogue. Rather than discussing their plan, Giovanni tells them, that they need to capture Ash's Pikachu before various Pokémon merchandise such as the anime, manga, video games, trading cards and figures, hits the stores or else they'll probably be found out.
* When the episode aired as a sneak peek, it had different opening and closing narrations:
** Sneak Peek opening narration: "Welcome to this special exclusive sneak preview of Pokémon! For this sneak peek, let's pick up the adventure as our heroes are departing Vermilion City. As always, Brock, Misty and Pikachu join Ash on his quest to become a Pokémon Master."
** Regular version opening narration: "As his Pokémon journey continues, Ash is one step closer to achieving his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master. Last time, Ash defeated the Vermilion City Gym Leader and earned a Thunder Badge."
** Sneak Peek closing narration: "Not everyone, captain. And as the St. Anne heads to the bottom of the sea, our heroes are trapped unconscious inside, and so is Team Rocket. Could this be the end? How will they escape their watery fate? Those answers will be coming soon enough, but tomorrow we'll be taking you back to the beginning, to find out how everybody met, and discover how this incredible Pokémon adventure all began."
** Regular version closing narration: "Not everyone, captain. And as the St. Anne heads to the bottom of the sea, our heroes are trapped unconscious inside, and so is Team Rocket. Could this be the end? How will they escape their watery fate? I don't know, but I have a terrible sinking feeling!"

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

After making a crash landing onto Valencia Island, our heroes get directions to Professor Ivy's laboratory where the mysterious Pokéball is being held. Once at the laboratory, Brock realizes that Professor Ivy and her group of scientists are Pokémon breeders just like him! Suddenly Brock begins to feel at home and thinks about staying for awhile to continue his studies on Pokémon breeding.

==Plot==
After the events in [[EP082|the previous episode]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} managed to touch the {{wp|blimp}} down on [[Valencia Island]]. As they walk, Ash finds the tropical heat exhausting. They get to an outlook and realize that they cannot find [[Professor Ivy]]'s lab. {{AP|Pikachu}} points to what appears to be a [[Pokémon Center]]. They go inside and find [[Nurse Joy]], much like previous centers. Nurse Joy gives them directions to Ivy's lab. They get to the lab and go inside, finding it empty. A floor hatch opens and [[Professor Ivy's assistants|three girls]] greet them, leading the trio down to the beach. A {{p|Gyarados}} comes out of the sea as a woman pets it, shocking everyone by her skill. Gyarados takes her to the shore as one of the girls tosses her a lab coat. She introduces herself as Professor Ivy.

Back at the lab, Ivy shows them the gold and silver ball. She reveals the inscribed letters on the top of the ball, giving it the name the [[GS Ball]]. One of the assistants demonstrates how the ball could not be transported. Ivy also points out how multiple attempts to open it have all failed. Ivy hands the ball over to Ash to deliver to {{an|Professor Oak}}. Ash calls Oak and shows him the GS Ball. Ivy takes the phone and the two professors talk, the scientific terminology baffling Ash and prompting him to cut the call short.

At the airfield, {{MTR}} looks in shock at the ruined blimp. Both Meowth and [[James]] believe the blimp is beyond repair, but [[Jessie]] smacks them and reminds them that Ash and his friends have a return trip booked. Knowing that it means getting another shot at catching Pikachu, {{TRT}} gets to work repairing the blimp.

Ivy leads Ash and the others throughout the outside environment, which serves as her lab. {{an|Misty}} smells the flowers, but a {{p|Vileplume}} steps out of the bushes. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] and notices the Vileplume has {{shiny|different color leaves}}. The assistants rush out a crate of Pokémon food as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} come out, all possessing different coloring than normal. Ivy points the difference to the tropical climate. {{an|Brock}} and the others are amazed at the varying Pokémon as Pikachu and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} take a sample of the food. Ash and Misty scold them, but attention quickly shifts when an assistant points out that the {{p|Butterfree}} has not eaten in days despite different food combinations. Brock samples the food before running off. He returns to smash berries, pointing out that the taste is important. He sprinkles the solution onto the food, and the Butterfree flies down immediately to eat. The professor is amazed at Brock's skill.

Back at the living quarters, everyone is shocked at the amount of disorder, the assistants referring to it as a little dump. Brock goes crazy at the need to clean, putting on his gear and going into a cleaning frenzy, making the place spotless and preparing an awesome dinner. The professor and the assistants jump into the food as Brock muses at the comparison to his family. Later that night, while everyone sleeps, Professor Ivy and the assistants watch Vileplume mark the area with their pollen. Brock meets with them and gives them a snack as he watches. The assistant notices a {{p|Raticate}} entering the pollen zone. Ivy rushes in to pull Raticate to safety, exposing herself to the pollen and weakening her. She orders the assistants to contact the Pokémon Center. At the center, Joy treats both Raticate and the Professor. Due to her actions, Raticate was not hurt very much and will recover. The assistants show their concerns to Ivy as Brock watches with admiration.

The next day, Ash and Misty prepare to leave, but they notice Brock is not with them. {{cat|Brock's Pokémon}} rush around with him as he fixes the roof. Ivy notes that Brock wants to stay. Brock explains that he can learn about Pokémon at the lab and that they need him more than Ash does. Ash agrees as they shake hands. Ash and Misty leave the lab and wave farewell to Brock, Professor Ivy, and her assistants.

As they walk, Misty notes how different it will be without Brock before bringing up the dilemma about getting back to [[Pallet Town]]. Ash brings out the blimp tickets as Misty mentions how the blimp was a disaster. When they get to the field, they find a brand new blimp on standby. A disguised Team Rocket whisks them aboard. The ship takes to the skies as {{an|Jigglypuff}} manages to get onboard.

When Ash and Misty request food, Team Rocket steps out and drops a steel cage to imprison them before revealing themselves. They notice Brock is not with them and James cracks a joke about Ash and Misty being "a pair of very romantic creatures", with Meowth adding that Ash and Misty are [[PokéShipping|lovebirds]], which both of them blatantly deny. Jessie adds that they're both blushing. Ash orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to attack, but Jessie warns that the attack will destroy the entire blimp. Jigglypuff jumps in and {{m|sing}}s. Team Rocket quickly grabs {{wp|Parachute|parachutes}} and opens the hatch, flying out as well as Jigglypuff. Misty and Ash are stuck on the blimp without a pilot.

==Trivia==
[[File:Valencia Island Paras M02.png|thumb|225px|right|Normal-colored {{p|Paras}} from Valencia Island in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'']]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]]: 
** Pokémon senryū summary: Beware of {{p|Electabuzz}}, thunder, fires, and fathers.
* Despite the fact that this episode marks the beginning of the [[S02|Orange Islands arc]], both {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} and {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}} aired the [[Pokémon Theme|first season intro]] instead of the [[Pokémon World (song)|Orange Islands theme]] for this episode, ''[[EP082|A Scare in the Air]]'' and ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]''. This was amended on the home video releases of these episodes, but was reverted in the U.S. Netflix release for unknown reasons.
* Though Professor Ivy said that Pokémon have slightly different coloration in the Orange Islands, only Butterfree's coloration remained consistent in future episodes. All of the other Pokémon seen have had their regular colors in the Orange Islands. Even when a Paras and a Nidorina from [[Valencia Island]] appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', they were normal-colored.
* Near the end of the episode, right before Pikachu uses a Thunderbolt attack on Team Rocket, they warn Ash that the blimp is filled with flammable gas, and if Pikachu did an electric attack they would "go Pika-boom!" (as Meowth says). This is most likely a reference to the {{wp|Hindenburg disaster}} of 1937, when a German zeppelin filled with flammable hydrogen gas exploded and crash-landed while attempting to land in New Jersey, killing 36 people. The cause of the explosion was most likely due to a static electricity build-up that had sparked and ignited the gas.
* The cry of the Lapras in "Who's That Pokémon?" is different from other Lapras depicted, sounding similar to the telepathic talking Lapras from ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' saying "Lapras."

===Errors===
* On both the title card and on [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/02_29-pokeball-peril/ the corresponding page] on [[Pokémon.com]], ''{{ball|Poké}}'' is spelled as one word, unlike its spelling in the games.
* When Ash and Misty are walking by themselves after waving goodbye to everybody, Misty's ponytail is on the right side instead of the left. When the camera changes to the close up, the ponytail is back on the left.
* When saying goodbye, Brock has on his apron, but then is shown with his usual green vest seconds later.
* While on the video phone, Professor Ivy has the receiver and so does Professor Oak, but Ash speaks without it. Ash can obviously hear Professor Oak talking, too.

'''Caterpie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キャタピー ''' ''Caterpie'') is a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 7, which evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
[[File:Caterpie emitting stench.png|thumb|left|250px|Caterpie emitting a terrible stench]]
Caterpie is a serpentine Pokémon that resembles the larvae of the {{wp|Spicebush Swallowtail}}. It is a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its body. It also has large yellow eyes with black pupils. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antenna ({{wp|osmeterium}}) on its head, which releases a stench to repel predators. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. Its feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort.

Caterpie will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. It can also spit this silk in order to entangle foes as seen in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. It has a voracious appetite that causes it to eat leaves larger than itself. It primarily feeds on vegetation, such as tree leaves. According to [[Pokémon Adventures]], its favorite food is the Vermilion flower. Caterpie lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}.

It took Yellow a whole day to properly catch this Caterpie with a Poké Ball, but once she prevailed, Yellow welcomed Caterpie to her team and called it "Kitty". It then became one of Yellow's most useful Pokémon, whose string was commonly used to make floaters. However, in the battle against [[Lance]], Yellow did not have a [[Pokédex]], which she needed to stop her Pokémon from evolving, and so Kitty evolved into {{p|Metapod}} and then into {{p|Butterfree}} right afterwards.

==Trivia==
* Caterpie was both the first Pokémon to be captured and the first Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]] in the anime.
* Caterpie shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Wurmple}}. They are both known as the Worm Pokémon.
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, when it became able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}}, Caterpie was unable to do anything to a {{t|Ghost}} type outside of {{m|Struggle|struggling}} except {{m|String Shot|lower its Speed}}. It shares this trait with its evolution, {{p|Metapod}}. This is also true for {{p|Weedle}}, and its evolution, {{p|Kakuna}}, against {{t|Steel}} types before {{game|Platinum}} was released.
** Due to this, it was impossible to complete a [[Generation I]] game using only Caterpie or Metapod, since Struggle couldn't hit Ghost types at the time.
* In the anime and in Pokémon Adventures, Caterpie holds the record as the Pokémon who takes the least time to evolve twice, taking only [[BW130|one episode]] in the anime and [[PS89|one chapter]] in Pokémon Adventures.
** [[Polibo|Poliwag]] and [[Togebo|Togepi]] also share this record, but in Pokémon Adventures only.
* Prior to Generation VI, Caterpie's body style was [[File:Body02.png]].
* In ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', when Caterpie evolves into Metapod, the process was similar to a real caterpillar going into pupation. [[AG142|Later]] [[BW130|episodes]] show Caterpie evolving like the rest of the Pokémon do.
* In the earlier seasons of the anime, Caterpie were shown with their mouths colored a yellowish-tan, matching its' underside and legs. Beginning in the fourth season, Caterpie would be correctly colored with a green mouth.

===Origin===
Caterpie is a stylized {{wp|caterpillar}}, most resembling an {{wp|Papilio glaucus|Eastern tiger swallowtail}} caterpillar with the coloration of a {{wp|Papilio troilus|Spicebush Swallowtail}}. Its "antenna" is an {{wp|osmeterium}}, an organ unique to swallowtail caterpillars which, like Caterpie, they use to emit a foul odor. The tip of Caterpie's tail resembles the horn at the rear end of most species of {{wp|Sphingidae|hawk moth}} larvae.

====Name origin====
Caterpie is a corruption of ''{{wp|caterpillar}}''.

'''Caterpie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キャタピー ''' ''Caterpie'') is a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 7, which evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
[[File:Caterpie emitting stench.png|thumb|left|250px|Caterpie emitting a terrible stench]]
Caterpie is a serpentine Pokémon that resembles the larvae of the {{wp|Spicebush Swallowtail}}. It is a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its body. It also has large yellow eyes with black pupils. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antenna ({{wp|osmeterium}}) on its head, which releases a stench to repel predators. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. Its feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort.

Caterpie will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. It can also spit this silk in order to entangle foes as seen in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. It has a voracious appetite that causes it to eat leaves larger than itself. It primarily feeds on vegetation, such as tree leaves. According to [[Pokémon Adventures]], its favorite food is the Vermilion flower. Caterpie lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash's Caterpie}}
{{Ash}}'s Caterpie appears in the manga series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

Caterpie is the second wild Pokémon that Ash captures in the manga. It was caught in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Kitty Caterpie.png|thumb|200px|Caterpie in Pokémon Adventures]]

Caterpie then followed Yellow to where she and {{adv|Blue}} were training, next to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. It took Yellow a whole day to properly catch this Caterpie with a Poké Ball, but once she prevailed, Yellow welcomed Caterpie to her team and called it "Kitty". It then became one of Yellow's most useful Pokémon, whose string was commonly used to make floaters. However, in the battle against [[Lance]], Yellow did not have a [[Pokédex]], which she needed to stop her Pokémon from evolving, and so Kitty evolved into {{p|Metapod}} and then into {{p|Butterfree}} right afterwards.

==Trivia==
* Caterpie was both the first Pokémon to be captured and the first Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]] in the anime.
* Caterpie shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Wurmple}}. They are both known as the Worm Pokémon.
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, when it became able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}}, Caterpie was unable to do anything to a {{t|Ghost}} type outside of {{m|Struggle|struggling}} except {{m|String Shot|lower its Speed}}. It shares this trait with its evolution, {{p|Metapod}}. This is also true for {{p|Weedle}}, and its evolution, {{p|Kakuna}}, against {{t|Steel}} types before {{game|Platinum}} was released.
** Due to this, it was impossible to complete a [[Generation I]] game using only Caterpie or Metapod, since Struggle couldn't hit Ghost types at the time.
* In the anime and in Pokémon Adventures, Caterpie holds the record as the Pokémon who takes the least time to evolve twice, taking only [[BW130|one episode]] in the anime and [[PS89|one chapter]] in Pokémon Adventures.
* Prior to Generation VI, Caterpie's body style was [[File:Body02.png]].
* In the anime episode "[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokemon]]", when Caterpie evolves into Metapod, it shoots a shower of white silk string from its mouth onto itself and sheds its skin in the process, similar to a real caterpillar going into pupation. [[AG142|Later]] [[BW130|episodes]] show Caterpie evolving like the rest of the Pokémon do.

===Origin===
Caterpie is a stylized {{wp|caterpillar}}, most resembling an {{wp|Papilio glaucus|Eastern tiger swallowtail}} caterpillar with the coloration of a {{wp|Papilio troilus|Spicebush Swallowtail}}. Its "antenna" is an {{wp|osmeterium}}, an organ unique to swallowtail caterpillars which, like Caterpie, they use to emit a foul odor. The tip of Caterpie's tail resembles the horn at the rear end of most species of {{wp|Sphingidae|hawk moth}} larvae.

====Name origin====
Caterpie is a corruption of ''{{wp|caterpillar}}''.

'''Metapod''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トランセル''' ''Trancell'') is a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Caterpie}} starting at [[level]] 7 and evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
Metapod resembles a {{wp|chrysalis}}. Its soft body is protected by a hard outer shell while it undergoes {{wp|metamorphosis}}. While this shell is said to be as hard as steel, a sudden, powerful impact could cause its tender body to pop out, leaving it completely exposed. Metapod generally remains motionless, preparing its soft innards for evolution inside its hard shell. If an enemy discovers Metapod, it is unable to do anything other than harden its outer shell. Metapod lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Metapod anime.png|thumb|200px|Metapod in the anime]]
[[File:Metapod evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|Metapod's original evolution method]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Metapod]]====
{{Ash}} had a Metapod that he caught as a {{p|Caterpie}} and evolved in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. It eventually evolved into {{p|Butterfree}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.

====Other====
[[Samurai]], in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', battled Ash's Metapod with his own Metapod, but because both Metapod only knew {{m|Harden}}, the battle went on for hours until a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} forced the battle to end.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', [[Bugsy]] used a Metapod against Ash for the Gym Battle. Unlike most Metapod, this one was actually able to fight back by using {{m|Tackle}}. Multiple other Metapod were also seen in the [[Azalea Gym]] in the same episode.

In ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', [[Xander]]'s Caterpie became [[Giant Pokémon|giant-sized]] after eating some enhanced {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy|Rare Candies}}. Xander's Caterpie knocked down part of a radio tower in order to make a place for it to evolve into Metapod. It later evolved again to become a Butterfree.

Multiple Metapod appeared in ''[[BW130|Butterfree and Me!]]'', including one that {{Ash}} worked with to help it eventually evolve into {{p|Butterfree}}.

===Minor appearances===
Multiple Metapod also appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

A Metapod appeared in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

A Metapod had a small cameo in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' as one of the Bug Pokémon on [[Murcott Island]].

A Metapod appeared in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]'' as an illusion created by {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}.

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

====Red's Metapod====
{{OBP|Red|Origins}} sent out Metapod during his Gym battle with [[Brock]]. It was able to slow {{TP|Brock|Onix}} down with {{m|String Shot}} but was defeated afterwards.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Metapod EToP.png|thumb|150px|Metapod in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash's Metapod}}
{{Ash}}'s Butterfree makes a brief appearance in the manga series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It was first caught in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]'' as a {{p|Caterpie}} and then evolved into Metapod in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]''. In this appearance it appears to be slightly thinner than other Metapod, as well as having a large spike on its back.

Ash's Metapod evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} in ''Play Misty For Me'' during Ash's Gym battle with {{an|Misty}}. Its last appearance as a Butterfree was in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', battling a giant {{p|Haunter}}.

===In the How I Became a Pokémon Card manga===
{{HIBAPC|Midori}} was shown to have a Metapod.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Kitty}}
Metapod's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. {{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Caterpie}}, which was called "Kitty", briefly evolved into Metapod before evolving again into [[Kitty|Butterfree]] during Yellow's showdown with [[Lance]].

[[Bugsy]] also uses two Metapod on his team, one the first appeared in ''[[PS100|Into the Unown]]''. It again appeared in ''[[PS102|Ursaring Major]]'' where it, a Kakuna and Bugsy visited the [[Azalea Town]]'s well where Team Rocket had been.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
Bugsy's Butterfree was first seen as a Metapod in ''[[GB04|Let's Aim For The Goal!]]''. It evolved prior to ''[[GB11|Gold And Black VS. Team Rocket]]''.

==Trivia==
* Metapod shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}. They are all known as the Cocoon Pokémon.
** They also share the same base stat total, learnset, Ability, and EV yield.
*** This ties them as the evolved Pokémon with the lowest base stat total.
* Metapod is the first Pokémon to evolve in [[M04|a movie]], and part of the first evolution cycle in [[EP003|an episode]].
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, when its pre-evolution became able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}}, Metapod was unable to damage {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon except by using {{m|Struggle}}. It shared this trait with {{p|Caterpie}}.
** Due to this, it was impossible to complete a [[Generation I]] game using only Caterpie or Metapod since Struggle could not hit Ghost types at the time.
* Metapod is usually depicted with white sclera, such as in the games, trading cards, and promotional illustrations, but it has yellow sclera in the anime.
* In the anime episode "[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]", the process of Metapod evolving into Butterfree is depicted as its' shell cracking and Butterfree emerging, leaving behind an empty carapace, similar to real life butterflies' emergence from pupation. In [[AG142|later]] [[BW130|episodes]], however, Metapod is shown to evolve like any other Pokémon.

===Origin===
Its design appears to be based upon a generic butterfly {{wp|Pupa#Chrysalis|chrysalis}}, most likely a {{wp|Pieris brassicae|Large White}} or {{wp|Swallowtail butterfly}}.

====Name origin====
Metapod is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorphosis (biology)|metamorphosis}}'' and ''pod'' (referring to its {{wp|Pupa|chrysalis}} state).

Trancell appears to be a combination of ''transform'' and ''{{wp|cell}}'' or ''shell''.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

In an effort to train hard and maintain top shape for the Pokémon League, Ash decides to try some surfing. When he hits rough waters, a surfer named Victor comes to the rescue and tells Ash about a gigantic wave called Humungadunga which hits the island just once every 20 years. Having failed to ride the wave in his youth, Victor is afraid to try again so Ash and Pikachu must provide Victor with the confidence he needs to conquer Humungadunga!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, {{pkmn|training}} for the [[Pokémon League]], are jogging on a cliff-side road. Ash, decked out in his white and orange shirt, is ahead of {{an|Misty}} (in her blue suit) and {{an|Brock}} (in his basketball jersey). However, Ash's progress has stopped when a truck passes by, spewing its exhaust in its wake. Blinded, Ash does not see that he is in the path of another truck heading in his direction. Misty and Brock look in horror as Ash is seemingly hit by the truck. Fortunately, the truck had swerved out of the way, leaving Ash unharmed, but it has created a large pileup behind him. [[Officer Jenny]] quickly arrives to defuse the volatile arguments caused by Ash and the drivers, who quickly speed off. As Ash wonders why the road would be so crowded, Officer Jenny tells them that it is the surfing season, and that the famous wave, Humungadunga, is coming. Surfers from all over have tried to ride the Humungadunga, which only appears once every 20 years, and plant their flag at the top of a rock, much like a famous surfer named Jan had done some 40 years ago.

Ash decides to also try surfing out, but his first go-around does not bode well. He wipes out often, and when on one occasion his foot cramps up, he is saved by an older man and his Pikachu. As Ash recovers, Misty and Brock introduce him to {{ka|Victor}} and his [[Puka|Pikachu]], Puka, who had help saved him from drowning. As {{AP|Pikachu}} meets Puka outside and watch the sea together, {{TRT}}, in the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Gyarados submarine]], plots to steal both.

In the mean time, {{ka|Victor}}'s past is revealed: 40 years ago, he had been a young surfer, who had tried to emulate Jan. Although his skills were not good, Jan eventually took him under his wing, teaching him all about surfing. After Jan had conquered Humungadunga and planted his flag atop the rock, he had given his own surfboard to Victor, simply saying "You can do it, too". With that, Jan had left to see the world. 20 years later, the Humungadunga had arrived, but he had failed. Discouraged, he was about to give up on surfing, but he then saw a [[Puka|Pikachu]] that had been cast away on a tiny raft.
This was when he first met Puka, and since then, the two have worked as a team: Puka had the ability to sense the waves, emitting a bluish glow when a big wave had approached, and it had helped the two conquer many big waves on the island—Humungadunga was the only one that they have yet to conquer.

However, Victor's reverie is interrupted by Team Rocket, who have kidnapped both Pikachu and Puka. Diving down to make their getaway (with Pikachu straining to break himself and Puka out of their glass cage), Team Rocket encounter some real {{p|Gyarados}} in its mating season. The Gyarados is none too pleased, attacking the submarine and finishing off with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, causing the now-destroyed submarine to launch into the air and sending Team Rocket flying, but freeing Pikachu and Puka.

Chasing after them on a boat, Ash manages to have {{AP|Bulbasaur}} catch Pikachu, but Puka falls into the water. Victor himself dives into the water, and using Jan's surfboard, manages to rescue Puka. However, the waves become more fierce, and Brock (now driving the boat) is forced to retreat, leaving Victor and Puka alone in the water. Just then, Puka begins to glow - a sign that Humungadunga is coming.

Ash and his friends are warned by Officer Jenny to evacuate the beach and stand as far back as possible. Worried about Victor and Puka's safety from atop a nearby cliff, they are relieved when they find Victor and Puka riding the wave. As for the two, they manage to position themselves close to the rock, and manage to plant their flag atop the rock, next to Jan's. Back on shore, as Ash congratulates Victor for achieving his lifelong goal, Victor turns to a small group of young surfers, simply saying to them what he had been told so long ago: "Hey, you can do it, too."

As the episode closes, Team Rocket is seen being surrounded by Gyarados, atop a rock with half of their submarine.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash Different Shirt.png|thumb|200px|The T-shirt]]
* [[Professor Oak's lecture]]:{{p|Fearow}}
** Pokémon senryū summary: {{p|Fearow}}, you may not peck, Fearow.
* This is the second time, if banned episodes are included, Ash, Misty, and Brock all wear [[List of clothing in the anime|different clothes]] for the entire episode.
* This episode references the [[Pikachu's Beach]] minigame from {{game|Yellow}}.
* This episode's dub title is a reference to the surfing term, [[wp:Kahuna|The Big Kahuna]].
* This episode is the last episode taking place before the events of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 1: Pikachu'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
* The [[Pokémon Junior]] book, "{{OBP|Surf's Up, Pikachu!|Pokémon Junior}}" was based on this episode.
* Music from ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' is played during the episode.

===Errors===
[[File:EP067 Error.png|thumb|200px|right|{{AP|Pikachu}}'s miscolored tail]]
* Though it is said many times that surfers from all around the world congregate to attempt to surf the Humungadunga, when the wave actually hits, Victor is the only one riding it. Everyone else evacuates the beach.
* In a shot near the beginning of the episode, Pikachu's tail is brown with a yellow base, rather than the other way around.
* In the flashback picture of Jan, his hair is blonde. However when Victor has a flashback of Jan his hair is brown. This is also true in the picture of Jan and Victor.
* When Young Victor is surfing on his stomach, his board has the design of an Ampharos, a Pokémon that was not yet released. All other times his board is a Pikachu.
* In the flashback, Puka's eyes are brown, up until it gets on the wave, where only its left eye was blue. Both were blue when Victor was holding it.
* When Victor puts Puka on his board during the storm, his board is blue.

===Dub edits===
* In the [[Pokémon in Portugal|European Portuguese]] dub, {{ka|Victor}} is named Vítor Brás. This is likely a reference to his voice actor Rui Luís de Brás.

'''Holiday Hi-Jynx''' (Japanese: '''ルージュラのクリスマス''' ''{{tt|Rougela's|Jynx's}} Christmas'') is a special episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 5, 1998, along with ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', and in the United States on December 11, 1999. It was initially intended to be EP039, airing December 23, 1997, but was rescheduled following the [[EP038]] incident.

==Blurb==

Ash and his friends run into a scared and lonely Jynx who has a boot belonging to Santa Claus but can't find it's way to the North Pole. Team Rocket is convinced that Jynx really is Santa Claus and Jessie wants revenge from something that happened in her childhood. Can Ash beat the odds and return Jynx to its Master before Team Rocket gets a hold of it?

==Plot==
The episode opens on a cold, snowy night, with a castle on a cliff in the distance. It is [[Christmas]], and kids everywhere are waiting for their presents from [[Santa]]. All, including the resident of this castle, which is none other than... [[Jessie]]?! She pretends to be asleep, and the door to her room slowly opens. Santa has arrived! Before he can begin to lay down presents, however, he is trapped in a net, and unable to move. Jessie and {{MTR}} are enthusiastic about their capture, and cannot wait for the ''real'' Santa to come to be trapped, this test decoy having been [[James]] in a Santa suit.

This plot is the realization of Jessie's revenge against Santa for having stolen her favorite doll ten years earlier. She flashes back to the night she stopped believing in Santa, when she waited awake for him. But instead of a jolly old elf down the chimney, a {{p|Jynx}} appears and does nothing but take her doll, broken moments earlier by Jessie in her waiting enthusiasm. James and Meowth doubt Jessie's story, but Jessie is insistent that this occurred, and that Santa is a Jynx.

Meanwhile, in the southern part of the [[Kanto]] region, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are scouting out a Jynx which holds a single boot. Ash attempts to [[Caught Pokémon|capture]] it, however, it does not work, and its [[Lovely Kiss]] manages to defeat {{AP|Pikachu}}. {{an|Brock}} deduces that it must have a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{an|Misty}}, seeing the inside of the boot, figures out that it belongs to Santa. After Jynx telepathically tells its story to the group, they agree to help it get back to the [[North Pole]] to Santa. Jessie, on the other hand, sees Jynx as Santa attempting to con the twerps just as she had been 10 years ago, and plots to follow them so as to find Santa's lair and exact her revenge.

Ash calls out his {{AP|Squirtle}}, and Misty calls out her {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, and {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}. All of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} help pull their homemade raft toward the North Pole, except Psyduck, who cowers at the thought of having to swim (Misty instead lets Psyduck ride with them on the raft.) The Pokémon, however, quickly become tired, and so Ash volunteers to pull them the rest of the way. He, as well, becomes tired, and hears a voice. Confused, he asks his friends if they said anything, but they haven't. The voice speaks again, and Ash is caught in a wave, while the others drift away on the raft. Ash is plunged underwater, and finally the source of the voice reveals itself to him: a {{p|Lapras}}! The Lapras brings him above the water and reveals its telepathic powers, as well as the fact that it was sent by Santa to get Jynx back to the North Pole. It offers to bring them the rest of the way there, and they accept. Soon, they arrive, but before they can enter Santa's workshop, {{TRT}} in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Gyarados submarine]] nab Jynx and trap the twerps and Lapras under a net.

Team Rocket enter Santa's workshop, then proceed to steal all of the presents, holding Santa, as well as Ash and co., who have confronted them, hostage. Jessie gives her reason for doing this to Santa, and the Jynx which "stole" Jessie's toy is revealed to have it, having taken it to Santa so he could repair it, and not being able to give it back because Jessie had stopped believing. Despite this, Jessie still plans to steal all of the presents, and Team Rocket makes their getaway. Lapras freezes the submarine with its {{m|Ice Beam}}, but Ash, using {{AP|Charmander}}, accidentally unfreezes it by using {{m|Fire Spin}}. Team Rocket seems to have won, but Santa has all of his Jynx use {{m|Psywave}} to bring back the submarine, shake the presents out of it, blow up the submarine and send Team Rocket "blasting off again".

That evening, Santa begins his yearly journey around the world, using a {{p|Ponyta}} as his steed, and flies away. Ash regrets not having told Santa what he wanted, but Lapras tells him that he already knows. Santa's Jynx then presents Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu with gifts, as it begins to snow.

Team Rocket lie in a bed together, having been defeated once more, but Jessie has hung a stocking in the hopes that she might get some presents. The other two believe it to be futile, but just then, a Jynx appears in their window. They stare in shock at it, and it uses {{m|Lovely Kiss}} to put them all to sleep. Santa wishes a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

==Scheduling conflict==
After the hiatus caused by [[EP038]], the show moved from Tuesday to Thursday. The original schedule was as follows:
{{Rescheduled episodes‎}}

When episodes of the dub are aired in order, this episode and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' are placed between ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', as this is the point at which the episodes aired raw. This causes confusion from viewers due to Ash using Charmander instead of Charizard and Misty still having her Starmie and Horsea. Canonically, these episodes go either directly before or directly after ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Due to not airing when initially intended and being advertised as such by [[Kids' WB!]], it is considered by Bulbapedia to be a [[List of anime specials|special episode]].

==Removal from rotation==
This episode was pulled from rotation shortly after it was aired due to the fact {{p|Jynx}} was accused of being a {{wp|racial stereotype}} of African-Americans by {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}. It can still be obtained on VHS and in the Indigo League Volume 3 DVD Pack Set, and has been made available on [[Cartoon Network Video]]. However, even though Cartoon Network has the rights to rerun Pokémon episodes, this episode has not been aired on the network, likely due to Jynx's appearance. Moreover, despite appearing on Cartoon Network Video this episode was skipped on [[Pokémon.com]]'s ''Pokémon TV'' video service.

The English dub became available on Xfinity On-Demand in late March of 2012, and has been added into the rotation on Boomerang as of 2011. No restrictions were placed on this episode in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, or any other countries airing the English dub. However, this episode is banned in {{pmin|South Korea}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Holiday Hi-JynxEdit.png|thumb|right|A screenshot from the original episode.]]
* This is the only main series episode where the title card is read by Jessie in the dub. Jessie also reads the title card for ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', a side series episode. Ash read this episode's title card in the Japanese version.
* When an episode's preview is shown in the Japanese version, it usually ends with the words, ''"Everybody, get Pokémon!"'' In this episode's preview, however, Ash said, ''"Everybody, get a present!"'' This is likely due to the Christmas theme of this episode.
* On December 23, 2012 — the 15th anniversary of the episode's originally-planned broadcast date — it aired on [[Pokémon Smash!]] and was edited to make all of the {{p|Jynx}}'s skin purple instead of black.
* Jessie's doll is called "Acha Ningyou" in the Japanese version, and is a parody of {{wp|Bruce Lee}}.

===Errors===
* Multiple times throughout the episode, the inside of Jynx's mouth was mistakenly colored white, instead of the usual red-pink.
* During the group's battle with Team Rocket later in the episode, Ash's hat continuously changes between forwards and backwards.
* In the remastered version that aired on Pokémon Smash!, Jynx's forearm appears white instead of red when it stands next to the tied up Ash, Misty, Brock, and Santa Claus.
*Ash's Charmander appeared in the English dub of this episode, despite how it has evolved it a Charizard before this episode. This is because the episode was originally going to be the 39th episode, which was when Charmander was still a Charmander, however, as this episode was moved due to the EP038 incident, this episode became the 66th episode.

===Dub edits===
* In the Japanese version, Santa wrote his name in katakana on the inside of his boot. The English dub replaces this with a photo of Santa surrounded by a snowflake border.
* Santa calls Jessie and Ash by name in the dub, but in the original, Santa refers to everyone as "children" instead.
* Santa's reason for not giving Jessie her doll back is different in both versions: in the English version, Santa tells Jessie that he couldn't return the doll because she stopped believing in Santa, which made him powerless to visit her. In the Japanese version, Santa says that he tried to return it, but Jessie had already moved away.
* In the dub, when the Jynx all use {{m|Psywave}}, they only chant their names over and over. In the original, they continuously say "''Psyco''" (the move's Japanese name is ''Psycowave''). This may highlight how Jynx speaks a language similar to human speech.

[[File:Brutella.png|thumb|right|Brutella rebuilding her restaurant]]
'''Brutella''' (Japanese: '''オババ''' ''Obaba'') is a [[character of the day]] in the {{pkmn|anime|Pokémon anime}}.

Brutella's first appearance was in [[EP018|''Beauty and the Beach'']]. In the episode, she tried to sabotage [[Moe]]'s restaurant with the help of {{TRT}}. She also had Team Rocket attack a beauty contest with their {{p|Gyarados}} [[Team Rocket's mechas|submarine]]. {{Ash}} managed to save the day with {{AP|his Pidgeotto|Pidgeot}} and {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}}. In the process, her restaurant, Brutella's Shop (Japanese: オババの店 ''Obaba's Shop''), ended up getting destroyed.

The last time Brutella appeared was on a cameo in [[EP019|''Tentacool & Tentacruel'']]. She was rebuilding her restaurant when her cousin, [[Nastina]], fell on top of it and destroyed it once again. She was mentioned a few times in the Japanese version of the episode, but they were edited out during localization because of the events that led to the ban of ''Beauty and the Beach's''. It should be noted that Brutella's English name comes from the Italian word ''brutta'', which means "ugly".

While her Japanese name, オババ, is her actual given name in the original Japanese episode, the characters do not use it in this context; instead they refer to Brutella by using the name as a play on the term {{tt|鬼ばば|おにばば}} ''hag'', a somewhat rude term to refer to an old woman. This is also the case for [[Nastina]], who shares the same Japanese name. This explains a running joke in the Japanese version as Nastina is often mistaken for Brutella in ''Tentacool & Tentacruel''; however, this was edited out of the [[dub]]bed version, as the episode of Brutella's appearance was initially skipped over.

In the Japanese version of the series, Brutella would have a small speech quirk where she would add "baba" at the end of a sentence, like her cousin Nastina. This does not occur in the dub.

[[Image:Nastina.png|thumb|right|221px|Nastina]]
'''Nastina''' (Japanese: '''オババ''' ''Obaba'') is a [[character of the day]] in the {{pkmn|anime|Pokémon anime}}.

Nastina's only anime appearance was in the episode [[EP019|''Tentacool & Tentacruel'']]. In that episode, she wanted to build a hotel/themepark in [[Porta Vista]]. However, it was destroying the habitat of the {{p|Tentacool}} that lived there. After hiring {{TRT}} to get rid of the {{DL|Species||jellyfish}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, the plan went wrong. One of the Tentacool evolved into a {{p|Tentacruel}} and grew to {{pkmn2|Giant|an enormous size}}.

The Tentacruel began destroying the city, as well as Nastina's hotel. {{an|Misty}} was able to convince Tentacruel to stop attacking the city, and the Tentacruel sent Nastina (after she tried bargaining for it to be in on of her theme park's shows) flying.

Nastina seems like a loud old lady at first glance but she is willing to do anything in order to get what she wants. She put on military clothes and was shooting at the Tentacruel that was destroying her town.

Nastina has a habit of posing and has hired many men in speedos to pose with her, and work as her servants/minions. She also has a habit of asking people when she offers a reward "''Isn't Nastina generous?''"

Nastina is revealed to be [[Brutella]]'s cousin when she is sent flying into Brutella when she was rebuilding her restaurant.

Nastina's English name is a combination of ''nasty'' and the common ending of a female name ''ina''.

While her Japanese name, オババ, is her actual given name in the original Japanese episode, the characters do not use it in this context; instead they refer to Nastina by using the name as a play on the term {{tt|鬼ばば|おにばば}} ''hag'', a somewhat rude term to refer to an old woman. This is also the case for Brutella, who shares the same Japanese name. This explains a running joke in the Japanese version as Nastina is often mistaken for Brutella. This was edited out of the [[dub]]bed version, as [[EP018|the episode of Brutella's appearance]] was initially skipped over.

In the original Japanese version, just like her cousin, Nastina had a speech quirk of sorts where she would add "baba" to the end of a sentence she was saying (referencing her Japanese name Obaba.) This does not occur in the dub.

[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] often attempt to steal Pokémon using trickery and [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguises]]. Sometimes their disguises are accompanied by a fake name, usually when the wish to compete in an activaty without the public knowing of their criminal status. Many of times their aliases are other people, as they attempt to impersonate them. {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} almost always believe they have met a new person when they encounter the disguisesed rouges before finding Team Rocket out, however, a few of Team Rocket's aliases have kept them fooled and still identify with them as different people, most notably Jessilina.

'''Pokémon Emergency!''' (Japanese: '''たいけつ！ポケモンセンター！''' ''Showdown! Pokémon Center!'') is the second episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 8, 1997 and in the United States on September 9, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
After its battle with the {{p|Spearow}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} is badly injured. {{Ash}} is on his way to the [[Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Center]], having been told that he can take Pikachu there to be healed. As he enters the town, Ash is stopped by [[Officer Jenny]], who finds it suspicious that he is carrying Pikachu in his arms and not in a {{ball|Poké}}. Ash is unsure how to prove his identity, but Officer Jenny sees his [[Pokédex]], which also acts as his ID. Jenny drives Ash to the Pokémon Center on her motorbike, leaving behind the girl whose bicycle Ash has accidentally destroyed. Angrily, she runs after the motorbike.

A wanted poster is revealed, showing the pictures of two "Most Wanted Criminals", [[Jessie]] and [[James]] of {{TRT}}. A grappling hook reaches down and pulls the poster up into [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's Meowth-shaped hot air balloon]], which is floating overhead. The two troublemakers swear revenge on Viridian for using such horrible pictures of them, while their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} ally {{MTR}} urges them to focus on their mission of stealing rare Pokémon.

Meanwhile, Ash arrives at the Pokémon Center. The Pokémon Center's [[Nurse Joy]] takes Pikachu away on a stretcher, scolding Ash for allowing it to have become so badly hurt. Ash feels crestfallen, and decides to call home. His [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] tries to encourage him, but he still feels downtrodden. He is then called by {{an|Professor Oak}}, who is surprised that he has reached Viridian so soon. Ash tells him about the {{an|Ho-Oh|unidentified bird Pokémon}} he saw fly over the rainbow (in the [[EP001|previous episode]]). Oak does not believe him, saying that many Trainers have never seen that Pokémon even after searching their entire lives. Oak wishes Ash good luck, and hangs up.

At that moment, the girl enters the Pokémon Center with her destroyed bike, angry that Ash's Pikachu destroyed it. Ash explains that Pikachu was injured badly, and she forgets about the bike, instead inquiring after Pikachu's recovery. Just as Nurse Joy brings Pikachu in, an alarm goes off, warning of the approach of Team Rocket's balloon.

Team Rocket launches an attack on the Pokémon Center, intent on stealing the Pokémon inside. Their Poké Balls smash through the glass roof, releasing an [[Jessie's Arbok|Ekans]] and a [[James's Weezing|Koffing]]. Koffing {{m|SmokeScreen|floods the room with smoke}}, under the cover of which Jessie and James enter the Pokémon Center and begin to recite their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]]. Nurse Joy begins transferring Pokémon to the safety of the [[Pewter City]] Pokémon Center to protect them from Team Rocket's clutches. Meanwhile, Ash and the girl attempt to fight off Team Rocket, and she finally introduces herself as {{an|Misty}}. At Misty's urging, Ash releases a {{p|Pidgey}} and a {{p|Rattata}} from Poké Balls that have been knocked to the floor, but they are easily defeated by Jessie's Ekans. Misty sends out a {{p|Goldeen}}, but it flops around uselessly due to the lack of water.

Ash flees, pushing Pikachu's stretcher, but the stretcher runs into a thick cord and overturns. Pikachu is catapulted into the air and lands among a group of other Pikachu that power the Center's backup generator. Powered by Ash riding quickly on Misty's burnt bicycle, Ash's Pikachu hits Team Rocket with a powerful {{m|ThunderShock}}. As Team Rocket takes the electricity, Koffing expels a large amount of poisonous gas in pain. The gas reacts to the electricity, and the result is a colossal explosion that destroys much of the Pokémon Center.

Officer Jenny arrives too late to do anything except watch the explosion. Meanwhile, Team Rocket manage to grab onto a rope hanging from their balloon. They decide that Ash's Pikachu would make a great gift for their {{an|Giovanni|Boss}} and agree to steal it when the chance comes. At that moment, a piece of debris punctures the balloon, and it flies away out of control.

The next day, Ash leaves Viridian City and heads for [[Viridian Forest]], with Pikachu and Misty in tow. The episode ends with Ash spotting a wild {{p|Caterpie}}, and throwing a Poké Ball in the hope of capturing it.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pidgey alternate coloration.png|right|thumb|200px|A differently-colored Pidgey.]]
[[File:Legendary Pokemon engravings EP002.png|200px|thumb|left|The engraving of legendary Pokémon]]
* This is currently the only episode in which any of Ash's male relatives are mentioned. Delia mentions that it took his father four days to reach [[Viridian City]] from [[Pallet Town]] and that {{Ash}} is the 'apple' of his eye. Ash's grandfather is also mentioned by her in the Japanese version.
* On the wall at the Pokémon Center, the engravings are of {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Ash misidentifies the {{p|Ho-Oh}} he saw in the previous episode as Articuno.
* The {{p|Pidgey}} in the clock is green, instead of its normal color. Though some may consider this to be [[Shiny Pokémon|alternate coloration]], this is not how the "Shiny" Pidgey appears in the {{pkmn|games}}. This could just be a coloring error, considering this, after all, was only the second episode of the series just like how there was a green [[Poké Ball]] in the very first episode.
** This is the second appearance of a clock with a Pidgey Cuckoo. The first was inside a Voltorb clock Ash had in the [[EP001|previous]] episode. Both are also destroyed in some way (Ash's Voltorb clock is smashed when thrown in Ash's sleep, the Pokémon Center's clock is destroyed when the Center blows up.)
* The events of this episode are referenced in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' by Team Rocket, who tell {{an|Dawn}} that they have been chasing {{AP|Pikachu}} for as long as she'd been alive.
* The book ''[[I Choose You!]]'' is based on this episode.
* This episode was modified after the [[EP038]] seizure incident. Originally, the scene where Pikachu uses ThunderShock on Team Rocket was a sequence of rapidly flashing images of each Team Rocket member. This was changed to a four-square grid to reduce the flashing effect. This change affected all home releases and re-broadcasts in Japan, and all international versions of the episode.
* Several scenes from the episode, including Misty's attempt at distracting Team Rocket was shown on the VHS ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]''.

[[File:EP002 error 2.png|200px|Jessie without lipstick|thumb]]

===Errors===
[[File:EP002 error 1.png|thumb|200px|right|James's missing left glove]]
* Just before Team Rocket throw their Poké Balls at the Center from their balloon, Jessie has no lipstick for a split second. Jessie also has no lipstick when their wanted poster is first shown.
* The first two times [[James]] is shown in the doorway of the [[Poké Ball]] room he isn't wearing a left glove.
* {{p|Arcanine}} is not a legendary Pokémon; however, it was shown on the wall with the [[legendary birds]]. This is likely due to Arcanine's {{pkmn|species}}, which classifies it as a "Legendary Pokémon" (like Pikachu is a "Mouse Pokémon").
* On the wanted poster, James is shown holding a lilac rose, although normally he holds a red rose.
* When Ash is laying Pikachu down on the bed in the Pokémon Center, Pikachu's tail is shown purely yellow, without the brown start.
* When Misty is looking at the Pikachu, one of her bags is missing.
* When Ash sends out the Pidgey from its Poké Ball, its eyes are yellow.

===Dub edits===
* While the recap uses the same dialog in the Japanese version, for some reason the dub changes Ash's introductory line:
** Original: "And I hereby declare to the Pokémon of the world...I will be a Pokémon master...Pokémon Master! That is what I'll..."
** Flashback: "That's right. I declare to the Pokémon of the world...I will be the greatest Pokémon Trainer...the greatest Pokémon master...of all time."
* In the Japanese version, Delia says that Ash's grandfather would be proud of him as well as his father.
* Professor Oak abruptly ending his telephone conversation with Ash is different in both versions: in the English version, Oak says that his pizza just arrived, while in the Japanese version, Oak realizes that he is in the middle of cooking ramen.
** On that same note, the English version included a doorbell sound-effect that wasn't present in the original version.
* Misty introduces herself to Ash, Team Rocket, and the audience during the Pokémon Center battle in the Japanese version, while Nurse Joy reveals Misty's name to the audience at the end of the English version.
* In the Japanese version, Ash's mom says that a brown hen lays white eggs and a Spearow lays Pidgey eggs. In the games, it would later become possible for a Spearow to produce a Pidgey [[Pokémon Egg|Egg]], as both species are in the [[Flying (Egg Group)|Flying]] [[Egg Group]].
* When [[Cartoon Network]] would rerun the first dub season, most episodes would cut the "TO BE CONTINUED" screen. This was one of the few episodes where Cartoon Network would leave the "TO BE CONTINUED" screen intact, most likely due to the narrator talking over it.

'''Metapod''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トランセル''' ''Trancell'') is a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Caterpie}} starting at [[level]] 7 and evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
While Metapod is classified as a cocoon Pokémon, it bears more of a resemblance to a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine}} {{wp|chrysalis}}. It also has a striking resemblance to the chrysalis of the {{wp|Swallowtail Butterfly}}. Its soft body is protected by a hard outer shell while it undergoes metamorphosis. While this shell is said to be as hard as steel, a large sudden impact could cause its vulnerable body to pop out, leaving it completely exposed. It shares many physiological and behavioral characteristics with {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Silcoon}} and {{p|Cascoon}} suggesting a possible relation between the four.

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

===Special abilities===
Metapod possess a very limited range of movement. However, by using moves that {{m|Harden|harden}} {{m|Iron Defense|their outer shell}}, they can protect themselves from most kinds of enemies. If it is evolved from a Caterpie it can retain ablities of {{m|String Shot|spitting}} {{m|Electroweb|silk}} and {{m|Bug Bite|eating foes berries}}.

In the anime, despite its idle state it can move and battle, with several ones being able to move and attack its opponent.

===Behavior===
In order to conserve as much energy as possible, Metapod generally remain motionless. They can be very difficult to spot in the wild, because their green coloration helps them blend in with the treetop canopies. If an enemy discovers Metapod, it is unable to do anything other than harden its outer shell. While this is enough to deter most predators, it does not offer complete protection, as the Metapod's insides remain soft and vulnerable. Its second line of defense is to drop out of the trees using {{m|String Shot}}. Because of its vulnerability, Metapod evolve rapidly into their final evolutionary stage.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Metapod can often be found in wooded areas, such as [[Viridian Forest]]. They dangle themselves from leafy canopies using {{m|String Shot}}. They can be found in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] with reports of them being seen in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] as well.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Metapod does not eat. It relies on the energy it stored as a {{p|Caterpie}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Metapod anime.png|thumb|200px|Metapod in the anime]]
[[File:Metapod evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|Metapod's original evolution method]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Metapod]]====
{{Ash}} had a Metapod that he caught as a {{p|Caterpie}} and evolved in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. It eventually evolved into {{p|Butterfree}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.

====Other====
[[Samurai]], in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', battled Ash's Metapod with his own Metapod, but because both Metapod only knew {{m|Harden}}, the battle went on for hours until a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} forced the battle to end.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', [[Bugsy]] used a Metapod against Ash for the Gym Battle. Unlike most Metapod, this one was actually able to fight back by using {{m|Tackle}}. Multiple other Metapod were also seen in the [[Azalea Gym]] in the same episode.

In ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', [[Xander]]'s Caterpie became [[Giant Pokémon|giant-sized]] after eating some enhanced {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy|Rare Candies}}. Xander's Caterpie knocked down part of a radio tower in order to make a place for it to evolve into Metapod. It later evolved again to become a Butterfree.

===Minor appearances===
Multiple Metapod also appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

A Metapod appeared in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

A Metapod had a small cameo in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' as one of the Bug Pokémon on [[Murcott Island]].

A Metapod appeared in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]'' as an illusion created by {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}.

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

Multiple Metapod appeared in [[BW130]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Metapod EToP.png|thumb|150px|Metapod in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash's Metapod}}
{{Ash}}'s Butterfree makes a brief appearance in the manga series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It was first caught in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]'' as a {{p|Caterpie}} and then evolved into Metapod in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]''. In this appearance it appears to be slightly thinner than other Metapod, as well as having a large spike on its back.

Ash's Metapod evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} in ''Play Misty For Me'' during Ash's Gym battle with {{an|Misty}}. Its last appearance as a Butterfree was in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', battling a giant {{p|Haunter}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Metapod's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. {{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Caterpie}}, which was called "Kitty", briefly evolved into Metapod before evolving again into [[Kitty|Butterfree]] during Yellow's showdown with [[Lance]]. [[Bugsy]] also uses two Metapod on his team.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
Bugsy's Butterfree was first seen as a Metapod in ''[[GB04|Let's Aim For The Goal]]''. It evolved prior to ''[[GB11|Gold And Black VS. Team Rocket]]''.

==Trivia==
* Metapod shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}. They are all known as the Cocoon Pokémon.
** Metapod is tied with them as the weakest evolved Pokémon in the games, by average base stats.
* Metapod is the first Pokémon to evolve in [[M04|a movie]]. It is part of the first evolution cycle in [[EP003|an anime episode]].
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, when its pre-evolution became able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}}, Metapod was unable to damage {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon except by using {{m|Struggle}}. It shared this trait with {{p|Caterpie}}.
** Due to this, it was impossible to complete a [[Generation I]] game using only Caterpie or Metapod, since Struggle couldn't hit Ghost-type at the time.
* Usually Metapod is depicted with its eye orbs being white, such as in the games, trading cards and promotional illustrations. However in the anime, Metapod is shown with yellow eyes.
===Origin===
Its design appears to be based upon a generic butterfly chrysalis, most likely a {{wp|Cabbage White}} or {{wp|Swallowtail}} chrysalis.

====Name origin====
Metapod is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorphosis (biology)|metamorphosis}}'' and ''pod'' (referring to its {{wp|chrysalis}} state).

Trancell appears to be a combination of ''transform'' and ''{{wp|cell}}'' or ''shell''.

[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] often attempt to steal Pokémon using trickery and [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguises]]. Sometimes their disguises are accompanied by a fake name, usually when the wish to compete in an activaty without the public knowing of their criminal status. Many of times their aliases are other people, as they attempt to impersonate them. {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} almost always believe they have met a new person when they encounter the disguisesed rouges before finding Team Rocket out, however, a few of Team Rocket's aliases have kept them fooled and still identify with them as different people, most notably Jessilina.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen}}
'''Pokémon FireRed Version''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスターファイアレッド|Poketto Monsutā Faiareddo}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: {{tt|Firered|It's the officially trademarked name, not spelled in CamelCase.}}'') and '''Pokémon LeafGreen Version''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスターリーフグリーン|Poketto Monsutā Rīfugurīn}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: {{tt|Leafgreen|It's the officially trademarked name, not spelled in CamelCase.}}'') are a pair of [[Version|main series]] [[Generation III]] games that are set in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. They were released in Japan on January 29, 2004, in North America on September 9, 2004, in Australia on September 23, 2004 and in Europe on October 1, 2004.

By nature, the games are [[remake]]s of the original pair of Pokémon games, {{game|Red and Green|s|Pocket Monsters: Red & Green}} (Japanese: {{tt|ポケットモンスター赤・緑|Poketto Monsutā Aka Midori}}), and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games.

The [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for [[link cable]]s when trading between the two games (and later {{game|Emerald||Pokémon Emerald Version}}). In later copies, it was sold separately.

FireRed and LeafGreen went on to become the second best-selling games of the [[Game Boy Advance]], only behind {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions}}. They also received [[Nintendo]]'s ''{{wp|Nintendo Selects|Player's Choice''}} awards.

==Changes from Pokémon Red and Green==
* {{Player|Players}} can now play as a {{ga|Leaf|female character}} as an alternative to the {{ga|Red|male character}} that was the only option in [[Generation I]].
* As in all [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, Pokémon now have [[nature]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], and [[gender]]s and can [[held item|hold items]].
* A resume feature was introduced, allowing players to remember the four most important events they achieved in the games the last time they were played. Once the [[Elite Four]] has been defeated, the resume feature displays the last four notable things the player has done recently instead of showing a specific event.
* A game introduction feature, which explains the controls of the game, was added. This feature continued to appear in further games, except in {{v2|Emerald}}.
* A help feature was added that can be activated by pressing the L or R button on the console. There is also another help feature in the form of the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Teachy TV}}, which is given by an {{ka|old man}} in [[Viridian City]].
* When entering certain locations, such as [[Viridian Forest]] or [[Diglett's Cave]], an image of the location appears.
* {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} now are {{2t|Electric|Steel}}, as they have been since [[Generation II]]. In the original {{v2|Red and Green|s}} games, they were pure {{type|Electric}}.
* Pokémon retain their Generation II and III [[evolution]]ary lines (e.g. {{p|Golbat}} can evolve into {{p|Crobat}}) but cannot evolve into these new stages until after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]]. {{p|Eevee}} is the only exception to this since {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} cannot be obtained due to the lack of a clock system in the game and trading between the other Generation III games is required to obtain them.
* A new southern region, the [[Sevii Islands]], is accessible, where [[Generation II]] Pokémon can be caught. Notably, most of these Pokémon cannot be found in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* [[Team Rocket]] has an expanded role in the game's post-Elite Four storyline, with a new base in the Sevii Islands.
* Battles with the wild [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}} feature a remixed battle theme. In addition, Moltres has moved from its original location in {{ka|Victory Road}} to [[Mt. Ember]]. [[Cerulean Cave]], where Mewtwo resides, now requires {{m|Rock Smash}} for navigation, and it cannot be entered until after the post-game mission in the Sevii Islands has been completed.
* One of [[Johto]]'s [[legendary beasts]] ({{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, or {{p|Suicune}}) will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] around Kanto after defeating the Elite Four and obtaining the National Pokédex. The beast that appears is the one that has a type advantage over the player's [[starter Pokémon]].
* [[Version-exclusive Pokémon]] and [[wild Pokémon]] distribution have been altered from the original games to account for new evolutions released in [[Generation II]].
* Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in {{OBP|Four Island|town}}. The daycare on {{rt|5|Kanto}} remains, but it is still limited to only caring for one Pokémon at a time.
* The Ability {{a|Pickup}} has been modified from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, which also includes that some of the [[Berry|Berries]] from those versions can be picked up in FireRed and LeafGreen. This is due to the inability to grow Berries in [[Kanto]]. The other Berries can only be collected by trading Pokémon from those versions as well as {{v2|Emerald}}.
* A man is present in a house in [[Cerulean City]] and will help create [[Berry Powder]] via [[Berry Crush]]. This powder can then be exchanged for rare and valuable items.
* {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outdoors can be rebattled using the [[Vs. Seeker]].
* Information on major characters such as [[Gym Leader]]s is recorded in the [[Fame Checker]].
* Three additional aides for Professor Oak have been added to reward the player with items that were introduced in Generations II and III, while a returning aid now gives out the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}, the upgraded version of the Generation I item {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. All}}.
* Pokémon movelists are updated to include moves introduced in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]].
* The [[TM]] list is shared with other Generation III games. In addition, [[Move Tutor]]s become available to teach moves formerly contained in [[Generation I]] TMs.
* The [[Elite Four]] can be rebattled and acquire {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} on their teams after the [[Sevii Islands]] quest has been completed.
* {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} are available as Move Tutor moves at [[Cape Brink]] on [[Boon Island|Two Island]]. They can only be taught to the final evolved form of the player's [[starter Pokémon]] or other members of that same species.
* There is a new minigame corner, the [[Joyful Game Corner]] on [[Boon Island|Two Island]], where players can connect together, along with {{v2|Emerald}}, and can play multiplayer minigames over the [[Wireless Adapter|wireless communication system]]. This feature becomes usable after the events at [[Kin Island]].
* In non-Japanese versions, dialogue is colored blue or red depending on whether the speaker is male or female, respectively. Text from other sources, such as signs, remains black.
* The music has been remixed to take advantage of the [[Game Boy Advance]]'s power; however, the themes themselves remain the same (including a few Gold/Silver/Crystal themes being utilized in Islands Four to Seven of the Sevii Islands.
** However, the [[Power Plant]] background music has been changed. In the original games, it played the [[Rocket Hideout]] theme, while in FireRed and LeafGreen, it plays the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} theme.
** In the original games while battling the [[Elite Four]], only the battle with [[Lance]] used the Gym Leader background music; the standard Trainer background music was used for the other three Elite Four members. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, the Gym Leader background music is used for all four Elite Four members.
** In the original games, when Professor Oak congratulates the player after becoming the Pokémon League Champion, a slower version of the Viridian/Pewter/Saffron City background music plays. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, a happier-toned version of the Pallet Town background music plays when Professor Oak appears to congratulate the player.
* {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Magmar}} (LeafGreen only) have been moved to new locations. Ponyta is now located on One Island's [[Kindle Road]], and Magmar is now at [[Mt. Ember]]. In Generation I, they were both found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]].
* {{p|Deoxys}} debuts two new forms: Attack Forme (FireRed) and Defense Forme (LeafGreen), which appear exclusively in the respective games.
* [[Cerulean Cave]] in these games is very heavily similar to the one in the original {{game|Red and Green|s}}, which was never released outside of Japan. The only difference is the Generation III addition of {{m|Rock Smash}} boulders.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
[[Image:FireRed First Battle.png|thumb|300px|right|The battle screen]]
The plot essentially follows the same storyline as [[Generation I]], with the {{player}} beginning in [[Pallet Town]]. After meeting [[Professor Oak]] while trying to leave for {{rt|1|Kanto}}, both the player and his or her [[rival]] are asked by Oak to choose a [[starter Pokémon]], {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, from the desk near him. Oak allows the player to choose first and the [[rival]] quickly gets jealous, chooses the starter whose [[type]] weakens that of the player's, and challenges the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}. During this Pokémon battle [[Professor Oak]] commentates.

After the battle has ended, Oak allows the two new Trainers to leave for their journey across [[Kanto]]. Stopping off in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Poké Mart]], the player will find that a {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Oak's Parcel|package}} has come in for the professor, and the clerk asks that it be delivered to him. After this has been completed, the professor gives two [[Pokédex]]es, one for the player, and one for the rival, away to them, and sends them on their way. Viridian has a Gym; however, it is locked.

From here, the player has their first encounter with other Trainers, on {{rt|2|Kanto}} and in [[Viridian Forest]], and their first encounter with a [[Gym Leader]]: [[Brock]] the {{type|Rock}} Gym Leader of [[Pewter City]]. After his defeat, journeying along {{rt|3|Kanto}} and through [[Mt. Moon]] brings the player face to face with the regional [[villainous teams|villainous team]], [[Team Rocket]] attempting to extract rare [[Fossil]]s from the cave. Their defeat allows the player to continue through the cave, obtain the [[Dome Fossil]] or [[Helix Fossil]], and continue onto {{rt|4|Kanto}}, which leads directly into [[Cerulean City]], where another [[Gym]] is. This one, however, is run by [[Misty]], and specializes on {{type|Water}} Pokémon. To the north, as well, there are two [[route]]s leading up to [[Bill]]'s cottage, where he will give the player a ticket for the [[S.S. Anne]], a luxury ship moored in {{ci|Vermillion}} Harbor and filled with Trainers. Taking a shortcut through a house burglarized by Team Rocket, the player finally arrives at {{rt|5|Kanto}}.

After traveling down Routes 5 and {{rtn|6|Kanto}}, using the {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 5-6}} to bypass [[Saffron City]], the player finally arrives in {{ci|Vermilion}}. This city is home to another Pokémon Gym; however, the way to it is blocked by a small tree. The only thing to do is to show the ticket to the {{tc|Sailor}} guarding the harbor, allowing entry into the S.S. Anne. It is here, after assisting the captain with his seasickness, that the player will obtain the first of the seven [[HM|Hidden Machines]] available in the game, containing {{m|Cut}}. With this, and the {{Badge|Cascade}}, the tree blocking the way to Vermilion Gym can be easily cut through, and [[Lt. Surge]], a Gym Leader specializing in {{type|Electric}}s, can be challenged. From here, {{rt|11|Kanto}} beckons, as does [[Diglett's Cave]], through which is the only way to get back to {{rt|2|Kanto}}, and a second HM, containing {{m|Flash}} held by one of [[Professor Oak]]'s aids on {{rt|2|Kanto}}. The player takes a brief detour to Pewter City's museum's back entrance which was previously blocked due to a Cut-able tree, which can now easily be bypassed. The player obtains the [[Old Amber]] in the museum. Heading back to Diglett's Cave, and to Vermilion, the player must go to Cerulean and to the east, onto {{rt|9|Kanto}} and towards the [[Rock Tunnel]].

Rock Tunnel, a still undeveloped natural tunnel between the sections of {{rt|10|Kanto}}, is pitch black inside; for this reason, {{m|Flash}} is recommended, but not required, for navigation of it. Finally reaching [[Lavender Town]], the only town in Kanto without a Pokémon Gym besides Pallet, there is not much to do; the local [[Pokémon Tower]] is haunted. From here, {{rt|8|Kanto}} leads to Saffron City, but it again must be bypassed by way of another {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}}, which has its other entrance on {{rt|7|Kanto}}, on the west side of Saffron. [[Celadon City]], the home of the fourth Gym, specializing in {{type|Grass}} Pokémon is just a short walk further. Like the Vermilion Gym, the Celadon Gym also has a small tree blocking the way to its entrance, and an old man outside.

The [[Rocket Game Corner]] in Celadon is not what it appears to be. In fact, the Game Corner itself is merely the above ground portion of a sprawling underground complex: the [[Rocket Hideout]]. The Team Rocket boss, Giovanni, appears for the first time here, and after his defeat, flees, leaving behind a Silph Scope. A Silph Scope is required to fully navigate the Pokémon Tower inside of Lavender Town that the player encountered earlier.

After this, the Pokémon Tower can be navigated, and the ghosts haunting it are revealed to be {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}. In front of the stairs to the final floor, blocking the way, is also a final spirit, that of a deceased {{p|Marowak}} that was killed by Team Rocket when they captured her child. Making it all the way to the top reveals [[Mr. Fuji]] held hostage by Team Rocket grunts, who will leave when they are defeated. Fuji gives away the [[Poké Flute]], and with that, the {{p|Snorlax}} blocking {{rt|11|Kanto}} and {{rt|16|Kanto}} can finally be moved away. Another HM, containing {{m|Fly}}, can be obtained easily by cutting away a tree blocking the northern section of Route 16.

Now the player is presented with a choice of how to get to [[Fuchsia City]]. Traveling down either way the Snorlax are blocking, a faster way via Routes 16, {{rtn|17|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|18|Kanto}} on [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]], or down the [[Silence Bridge]] of Routes {{rtn|12|Kanto}}, {{rtn|13|Kanto}}, {{rtn|14|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|15|Kanto}}, inevitably brings one to the southernmost city in continental Kanto, [[Fuchsia City]], home of [[Koga]] of the {{t|Poison}}ous Fuchsia Gym and the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. The Safari Zone is currently running a contest: the person to reach a specific rest house first will win yet another HM, containing {{m|Surf}}. Finding the [[Baoba|Safari Zone Warden]]'s {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Gold Teeth}} also will have him reward the player with the final of Kanto's HMs, containing {{m|Strength}}.

The player then goes back to either [[Celadon City]] or [[Lavender Town]], encountering the other {{p|Snorlax}} on the way back. After stopping off at the [[Celadon Condominiums|Celadon Mansion]] and getting some {{DL|Drink|Tea}}, Saffron City can finally be entered. However, Team Rocket is guarding almost every door in the city, including that of the local Pokémon Gym! One of the open buildings however, is the unofficial Fighting-type Pokémon Gym. After the player defeats the Fighting Dojo, he/she is entitled to either a {{p|Hitmonchan}} or a {{p|Hitmonlee}}. The city's centerpiece building, [[Silph Co.]]'s headquarters, has also been infiltrated by the organization, and at the top, waiting in the boardroom, is the Team Rocket Boss, [[Giovanni]], appearing for a second time, demanding that the president give him the [[Master Ball]] that the company had developed. After his defeat, he flees.

After Team Rocket clears out of [[Saffron City]], all buildings previously blocked are now open, as well as the Gym. The Gym Leader, [[Sabrina]], specializes in {{type|Psychic}}s. The floor, as well, is covered in warp tiles that make it difficult to navigate. After Sabrina's defeat, the player makes his/her way back to Fuchsia City again, and heads out to obtain the rest of the Badges.

With six Badges in hand, and five HMs in the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|TM Case}}, finally the player can adventure onto the open sea of Routes {{rtn|19|Kanto}} and {{rtn|20|Kanto}}. A short way across them, of course, is a minor obstacle: the [[Seafoam Islands]]. After they have been navigated through, the player can continue on Route 20 to [[Cinnabar Island]], home of [[Blaine]]'s {{type|Fire}} Gym. There are also several more facilities on the island, including one that actually revives Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. After Blaine's defeat, [[Bill]] shows up again, because he needs help in a small region south of Kanto, the [[Sevii Islands]]. If the player accepts, the [[Seagallop Ferry]] will travel to {{OBP|One Island|town}}, where a friend of Bill's, [[Celio]], is attempting to connect the islands' PC system to that of Kanto. During this, there is also a crisis in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}, where the daughter of the owner of the [[Joyful Game Corner]] has gone missing, and in {{OBP|Three Island|town}} where a group of invading {{tc|Biker}}s are causing trouble. After defeating them and finding the lost girl, [[Lostelle]], who is in [[Berry Forest]], Bill and the player will return to Kanto, where the final Gym, that of Viridian City, lies.

Finally unlocked, the Gym, whose leader specializes in {{type|Ground}}s, is revealed to be none other than the boss of Team Rocket himself, [[Giovanni]]! After his defeat, he vows to disband Team Rocket and disappears. Now with eight Badges, all that lies ahead is the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], conveniently at the end of {{rt|23|Kanto}}.

The [[Elite Four]] await challengers, those who have proven themselves worthy by getting all eight Badges and making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} will face them, in order. [[Lorelei]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type|Ice}} Pokémon is first, followed by [[Bruno]], whose specialty is {{t|Fighting}}, [[Agatha]], whose specialty is {{t|Ghost}}, and finally [[Lance]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}}s. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]] challenges the player to a final battle, and the Champion is none other than the player's own rival! After his defeat, Oak arrives and tells the player that they won because they care better for their Pokémon, and the player's current [[party]] are added to the [[Hall of Fame]].

===Postgame===

After the credits roll, the player is back in Pallet Town. [[Professor Oak]] will have the player come to his lab to check on the Pokédex, and if the player has caught at least 60 Pokémon, will upgrade it and ask for the player to return to the Sevii Islands to encounter Pokémon Oak has never before seen.

There is some more work that Celio needs to do on his network machine, as he wishes to link to yet [[Hoenn|another region]]. The signal, however, is not strong enough, and he needs the Ruby and the Sapphire, two items found in the Sevii Islands, to strengthen it. The Ruby is found deep in a cave in [[Mt. Ember]], which Team Rocket grunts have been seen fooling around with. The Sapphire lies at the deepest part of the [[Dotted Hole]] in [[Ruin Valley]]. The Ruby can be given to Celio without a hitch; however, the Sapphire, when found, is stolen by a {{tc|Scientist}} named [[Gideon]], who takes it back to Team Rocket's [[Rocket Warehouse|warehouse]] in the [[Five Isle Meadow]]. By infiltrating the warehouse and defeating the remaining Rocket Admins, they realize that Giovanni has disbanded Team Rocket. They do, however, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|vow to return one day]], and bring Team Rocket back to its glory. Gideon reluctantly gives back the Sapphire, and after this, trades are possible with the [[Hoenn]]-based {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The Elite Four can once again be challenged, and their Pokémon are 12 levels higher, as well as some of them possessing new Pokémon. [[Cerulean Cave]], as well, is now open, and the powerful {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found there.

==[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Version exclusives]]==
The following Pokémon are only obtainable in one game of this pair. In order to obtain Pokémon exclusive to the other game of this pair, they must be traded either from that game or from another compatible game of [[Generation III]] which has that Pokémon available. In addition, several {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and a majority of {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} must be traded from a [[Hoenn]]-based game (Only two Generation III Pokémon, {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}}, can be obtained in FireRed and LeafGreen).

==Compatibility==
FireRed and LeafGreen were created as a result of the first [[Generation III]] games, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, lacking backward compatibility with Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}. [[trade|Trading]] between these games and the third Hoenn-based game, {{game|Emerald}}, is possible through the traditional [[link cable]]. Trading with other copies of FireRed or LeafGreen as well as with Emerald may also be done through the [[GBA Wireless Adapter]], though Ruby and Sapphire are not compatible with it. Using a GameCube-GBA cable, players may also trade party Pokémon with {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, but only after the player has obtained the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Ruby}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Sapphire}} and given them to [[Celio]].

While FireRed and LeafGreen cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] games {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can be found using [[dual-slot mode]]. Pokémon obtained in these games can be transferred forward to [[Generation V]] games by transferring through a Generation IV game.

==Reception==
FireRed and LeafGreen received strong sales. Over 800,000 copies were sold in Japan over the first week of release. This number was lower than that of counterparts {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}; this has been attributed to the fact that they are remakes.<ref>[http://au.gameboy.ign.com/articles/488/488976p1.html IGN: Pokemania] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Nintendo remarketed the games as "Player's Choice" two years after the initial release; this re-release did not include the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|Wireless Adapter]] that came with the original release.

The games were praised by critics for maintaining the same storyline as the original versions, and also for incorporating new events. Criticism was received, however, for the lack of graphical improvement from Ruby and Sapphire.<ref>[http://au.gameboy.ign.com/articles/544/544549p1.html IGN: Pokemon FireRed Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Generally, the games scored highly. ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' magazine gave them 4.5/5, and labeled the games as "great".<ref>''Nintendo Power'' magazine. Issue 184; page 123. October 2004.</ref>

==Trivia==
[[Image:Thetruckreturns.png|thumb|270px|right|The infamous truck]]
* These games were the first remakes of Pokémon games, being followed by the [[Generation II]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** A number of [[List of cross-generational references#To Generation II|references]] to the plot and characters of the [[Generation II]] games, {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, appear in these games. These were correctly interpreted by fans as hints at an eventual {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remake}} of the pair in [[Generation IV]].
* The LeafGreen [[Pokédex]] entries are the same as those in the original {{game|Red and Blue|s}} as well as the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]] for the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. The FireRed entries for the same Pokémon are the same as those in the original {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
* In the end credits, the [[version mascot]]s of the four [[Generation I]] games appear, transforming from their in-game sprites to the pose they took on the Japanese boxart of their respective games.
* Despite the fact that outside of Japan, {{game|Red and Blue|s|Red Version was paired with Blue Version}}, LeafGreen saw release internationally. A trademark was filed for '''Pokémon WaterBlue Version''', however, indicating that this renaming may have been considered.
* {{DL|S.S. Anne|Rumors|The truck}}, long rumored to have a [[Poké Ball]] containing {{p|Mew}} under it, appears again as scenery near the [[S.S. Anne]]. This time around, however, there is a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lava Cookie}} hidden on the dock, which normally cannot be obtained until much later in the game.

* The [[species]] names present in FireRed and LeafGreen are cut off in early English releases of the games, most specifically those species names made up of more than one word with a space in between. This causes Pokémon like {{p|Pidgey}} to be listed as "Tiny Pokémon" rather than "Tiny Bird Pokémon." [[Pokédex data structure in Generation III|Internal game data]] lists the species name the same as it appears in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and other games, indicating a glitch in the Pokédex where a blank space is confused for the terminating byte for the name. This was addressed in later releases of the game. This is the easiest way to tell whether the game in question is a v1.0 or v1.1 release.
* Along with the original [[Generation I]] games, these are the only main series games that do not involve a [[legendary Pokémon]] in their main plot. Incidentally, they are also the last [[version|main series]] Pokémon games to feature a non-legendary Pokémon on the cover.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]], the reason why LeafGreen did not become WaterBlue outside of Japan was for the following reasons: A leaf is a symbol of peace, while fire and water are opposing concepts and thus would seem more like a conflict. A leaf is also an easier concept to grasp and translate into other languages, and in this world of conflicts, the creators wanted to give a name suggestive of a peaceful world. [[Game Freak]] also wanted a colorful drawing of a {{p|Bulbasaur}} family member on the boxart. Masuda explains that, as with [[legendary Pokémon]], creating a title for each Pokémon game that can be used and easily understood in all countries is not an easy task.
* If a FireRed or LeafGreen cart is present in Slot 2 of the [[Nintendo DS]], the migration feature in the menu screen of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is incorrectly stated as "Migrate from Fire Red" or "Migrate from Leaf Green", with a space in the middle of the version names. This mistake was fixed in {{game|Platinum}}, which removed the space.
* {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Azurill}}, the two [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]] and first seen in [[Hoenn]] can be obtained before unlocking trades with the Hoenn-based games by breeding any compatible Pokémon while holding the {{DL|Incense|Sea Incense}} and the {{DL|Incense|Lax Incense}}, both found in the [[Lost Cave]].
* The game prevents Pokémon from evolving if their evolved form's [[National Pokédex]] number is greater than 151 prior to the National Pokédex itself is obtained, however, Generation II Pokémon that evolve ''into'' a Generation I Pokémon are not prevented from evolving.
* The boy who prevents the player from leaving Pewter City before Brock is defeated (by showing the player to the Gym) now returns the way he came. In Generation I, he would instead walk east and vanish offscreen, where a barrier prevents the player from walking.
* In [[Teachy TV]], at registering items aspect, second instance of word pocket in <sc>key items pocket</sc> is misspelled as pokcet.
* During the credits, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} are shown with special 3-frame sprites, with first frame being the in-battle sprite and the other two sprites being unique.

'''Bill''' (Japanese: '''ソネザキマサキ''' ''Masaki Sonezaki'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} Researcher, widely regarded as an expert in many fields. He has made many appearances in the games. Bill is most commonly found in his [[Sea Cottage]], which is north of [[Cerulean City]] at the end of {{rt|25|Kanto}}. He is most notable for his first appearance in the [[Generation I]] games and for his [[Pokémon Storage System]] that has been pertinent in the entire main series.

==In the games==
Bill is the talented and famous inventor. He invented the original Pokémon Storage System and [[Time Capsule]].

People, including himself, call him a PokéManiac because of his large collection of both common and rare Pokémon. The first one he caught was an {{p|Abra}}; however, his favorite Pokémon are {{p|Eevee}} and its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]]. Bill also gives a free Eevee to {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/Lyra in [[Generation II]] and its remakes and another one to [[Bebe]] in [[Generation IV]], which is later given to {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}.

Bill also has several friends that share his interests in computer technology. One of them is [[Celio]], his old friend from {{OBP|One Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]]. He is also close with [[Lanette]] and [[Bebe]], the storage system developers of [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]], respectively.

Bill also has some fans, like {{tc|Poké Maniac|PokéManiac}} Brent of [[Generation II]] who calls the player with information about him. Most of his calls are trivia about Bill himself and his family, such as the fact that Bill's mother used to be a [[Kimono Girl]] and that Bill's younger sister can't wink. He also mentions that Bill might have a crush on the flower girl in Goldenrod City. Brent also revealed the fact that Bill is lactose-intolerant, which was also stated by Celio in [[Generation III]].

Bill has been shown to have a large family. In [[Fuchsia City]] live his adult sister and grandpa, who in [[Generation II]] watches over Bill's cottage on Route 25 while he is visiting the rest of his family in [[Goldenrod City]].

In the Japanese versions of the games, Bill speaks in Kansai Dialect like most [[Goldenrod City]] natives.

===[[Generation I]]===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, Bill can be found at the [[Cerulean Cape]], initially performing an experiment on Pokémon teleportation. However, Bill accidentally becomes combined with the body of a {{p|Clefairy}} and requires the player's help to fix the problem. (In Yellow, the player's [[Pikachu]] will be confused by the whole ordeal, and shocked among seeing Bill return back to his original form.) After things are back in order, he speaks about his Pokémon Storage System and what was formerly on the PC menu as "Someone's PC" will change to "Bill's PC." He will also give away an {{DL|List of key items in Generation I|S.S. Ticket}} so that the player can board the [[S.S. Anne]]. He gives the player the ticket as a gift for changing him back into a human, and also claims that the rich crowd of the S.S. Anne isn't his type. If the player exits Bill's house and goes back in, they can check his computer for information on {{p|Eevee}} and its three [[Evolutionary stone|stone]] evolutions, his favorite Pokémon.

===[[Generation II]]===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Bill is visiting his family in [[Goldenrod City]]. After he gets the [[Time Capsule]] up and running in [[Ecruteak City]], players can visit him at his parents' house in Goldenrod and receive an {{p|Eevee}}. His sister will give the player Bill's number so they can check the storage system.

===[[Generation III]]===
====Hoenn====
While visiting [[Lanette]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, players can check one of her computers to find an E-mail from Bill. The English translation of the E-mail makes it seem as if Bill is crediting Lanette for upgrading his system, whereas the Japanese text clearly establishes that he and Lanette are co-developers of the original system.

English Letter:
:"''... ... ... ... ... ... ...
:''Your storage system
:''offers more convenience than mine.
:''It has a lot of user friendly features that
:''make it fun and useful too. It makes me
:''proud that I played a part in its development.
:''Here's hoping that you'll continue
:''research in Storage Systems.
:''From <sc>Bill</sc>
:''... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..."

====Kanto====
[[File:SeaBill.png|thumb|240px||right|Bill as a {{p|Clefairy}} in the Sea Cottage]]
In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]], Bill is in the same area as in the original games. However, he also appears on [[Cinnabar Island]] asking for help in the [[Sevii Islands]] shortly after [[Blaine]] is defeated. While on [[Knot Island]], he introduces the player to [[Celio]].

=====Fame Checker=====
This is a list of the [[Fame Checker]]'s information on Bill in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

===[[Generation IV]]===
====Sinnoh====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, [[Bebe]] mentions that Bill invented the original PC storage system, and that she tinkered with it to make it easier to use. Upon giving the player an {{p|Eevee}}, Bebe refers to Bill as a friend from Johto to whom the Eevee previously belonged.
====Johto and Kanto====
Bill appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in the same capacity as he did in Generation II. He will give the player an {{p|Eevee}} if he is visited at his parents' house in Goldenrod.

==In the anime==
[[File:Bill anime.png|thumb|200px|Bill talking about the world of Pokémon]]
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} met Bill at his lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''.

Bill had previously been trapped in a {{p|Kabuto}} costume for what he claims to have been hours (in the dub only; the original didn't state how long he had been in the costume) until Ash finally comes to press the release button for him. Afterwards, Bill fulfills a request made by Professor Oak to give Ash and his friends a lesson on the basics of Pokémon, during which Bill shares the idea that there may be many more than just 150 species of Pokémon. The remainder of his appearance is spent focused on explaining to Ash and company his recent project, involving a {{p|Dragonite|mysterious Pokémon}} whose cry can be heard across the sea.

This angered Dragonite, and it smashed the top of the lighthouse and began to walk away. Bill called out at it to stay, but to no avail.
In the morning, Bill seemed to be at peace with the fact that he didn't get to learn more about the Pokémon and was simply grateful he got to see it at all. With another life lesson from Bill, the heroes said goodbye and continued on their journey.

Bill appears in the third chapter of The Electric Tale of Pikachu, ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]''. He works with [[Professor Oak]] researching a colony of {{p|Clefairy}} at [[Mt. Moon]]. He was the one to discover the colony of Clefairy and has befriended many of them. Together with Professor Oak and {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}, he assists the Clefairy with an evolution ceremony.

In the same chapter, Bill also reveals parts of his past to Ash. In the beginning, Bill only became a Pokémon Trainer because he didn't like school and wanted to take a leave of absence, but as time went on, he discovered that he deeply cared for his Pokémon. He decided to become a Pokémon researcher after witnessing his {{p|Ivysaur}} evolving into {{p|Venusaur}}.

==Trivia==
* Bill is the only male character in charge of a PC storage system, running that of the players of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] games. The characters in charge of the storage systems in the other three main regions are all female.
* Bill being mixed with a Pokémon during a teleportation experiment seems to be a direct reference to the movie ''{{wp|The Fly}}'', where a scientist experimenting with teleportation pods ends up combined with a fly.
*In the anime, {{an|Mewtwo}} is shown on his lighthouse, which may indicate he knows of its creation.
* In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], if a player declines to go to the [[Sevii Islands]] after defeating [[Blaine]], Bill will wait in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s Pokémon Center. During this period, he is both back at his home on {{rt|25|Kanto}} and on Cinnabar Island at the same time.
* In the anime, Bill has green hair, and appears to be wearing formal clothing. In the games, his appearance differs greatly.
* Many rumors sprouted up during the time of Generation I where if the player could travel to the gap which appeared at the back of Bill's House, they would encounter Mew. This proved to be false and to stop further rumors, the gap was removed in the Generation III remakes.
* In Generation II and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a fan of Bill's named Brent will reveal trivia about Bill via the [[Pokégear]]. The information shared include the fact that Bill's younger sister can't wink, Bill's first Pokémon caught was {{p|Abra}}, his mother used to be a [[Kimono Girl]], Bill is lactose intolerant (also claimed by Celio in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}), he isn't very good at Pokémon battles, and that Bill is attracted to the Goldenrod Flower Shop owner's daughter.
* According to [[Pokémon Adventures]], Bill's {{wp|Birthday|birthday}} is December 31st and his {{wp|Blood type|blood type}} is O.
* In the anime, Bill is portrayed as having a {{wp|Regional accents of English|British accent}}, while in the Pokémon Adventures manga, he is portrayed as having a southern American accent.
* The Pokémon Bill is mixed with is different in each canon: in the games, he is mixed with a {{p|Clefairy}}, in the Pokémon Adventures manga he is mixed with a {{p|Rattata}}, and in the anime he is trapped in a {{p|Kabuto}} costume.

{{incomplete}}
[[File:Best Wishes Team Rocket.png|thumb|Team Rocket's disguises in the {{series|Best Wishes}}|250px]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Team Rocket]] members often use a variety of disguises in order to carry out their schemes, the most well-known example of this being those of [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}.
==Original series==
===Kanto/Orange Islands regions===
*''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'': Jessie, James, and Meowth appear in black {{wp|Ōendan}} outfits, complete with hats, black shades, and a flag emblazoned with an R. Jessie's outfit has a blue undershirt, James's a red one, and Meowth's is green.
[[File:TRgirls.jpg|thumb|right|James thought that being a girl was "Cooooooool!"]]
*''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'': Jessie and James both disguise as teenage girls with black shoes, short skirts, and James wearing a blonde wig (somewhat resembling his regular hairdo), and Jessie an orange one (similar to her hairstyle), making this the first time James dresses like a woman in the series. Later Jessie, James and other human Team Rocket members disguise as waiters aboard the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]].
*''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'': Jessie and James both don swimsuits to enter the Swimsuit and Pokémon Costume contest, and James wears an inflatable bodysuit giving him large breasts to give him a more feminine appearance. James' disguise is notable for causing the initial ban of this episode in the United States.
*''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as Hawaiian girls, donning flowered necklaces, green grass skirts and wigs (Jessie's is orange, James's is brown), when tricking our heroes into thinking that Ash is the millionth visitor to [[Saffron City]].
*''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-Sation]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as "[[Ashley]]'s" parents, with Jessie wearing a pink kimono robe and glasses and her hair tied up in a bun on top, and James wearing a bald cap and a fake nose and glasses with Meowth hidden under his shirt to simulate a belly
*''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as Fashion Artists. Jessie wears a black top and a red slit skirt, while James wears a long black coat and red slacks. Both also wear glasses. Meowth simply wears a blue jacket with a yellow undershirt, serving as the cashier for Salon Roquét.
*''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'': Jessie, James and Meowth enter the P1 Grand Prix with a {{p|Hitmonlee}} they stole from a tall man and swipe the man's gray trench coat and bowler hat. They stack up wearing the clothes, with Jessie at the top, to make it look like they entered the Hitmonlee themselves.
*''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'': Jessie, James and Meowth appear wearing Japanese scarves and coats upon entering the restaurant to pose as Kaz Gym bodyguards.
*''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'': Jessie and James both disguise as punk rockers, complete with leather jackets, pierced ears, wild wigs and the like, when they let our heroes use a stage to let {{an|Jigglypuff}} {{m|Sing}}.
*''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'': Jessie and Meowth wear black "invisible" costumes and push James into his {{TP|James|parents}}' estate as Jessie tries to imitate James's voice to collect the will. The "invisible" costumes were repeated by all in the two-part Ash-Paul battle arc, ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Meddle]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies]]''.
*''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as female egg-sellers with old-fashioned dresses, bonnets, and baskets full of fake [[Pokémon Egg]]s in an attempt to steal the {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} egg.
*''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as an elderly couple, complete with gray wigs and old-fashioned clothes. Jessie wears glasses and James wears a fake mustache.
*''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'': Jessie and James are disguised when they enter the [[Pokémon League]] test: Jessie wears a gray woman's business outfit and glasses with her hair in braids, while James also wears glasses, along with a blue suit.
**This is also one of the few times where one of them didn't recognize them in the disguises (James didn't recognize Jessie until after she took off her glasses).
*''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'': Jessie and James are disguised during a fake magic act they put on for the {{tc|School Kid|schoolchildren}}, with Jessie wearing a magician's tuxedo, top hat and glasses, and James wearing a pink dress and disguised as the lovely assistant.
*''[[EP054|The Case of the K-9 Caper]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as Officer Jenny while using a megaphone that disguises their voices as other characters (Ash, Misty, etc.) This is repeated (along with Meowth in a costume and without the voice changing megaphone) in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]''.
*''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké-Corall]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as a news crew for PNN, Pokémon News Network, and they wanted to interview Ash in a segment called ''Pokémon Masters of Tomorrow''.
**Note: This is the first time that they tricked someone onscreen who wasn't Ash and his friends. Instead, they tricked Delia into telling them where Ash is.
*''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'': Jessie is disguised in a Nurse Joy costume complete with a mask and James disguises himself as an ordinary nurse (with a surgical mask covering his mouth) at a fake Pokémon Center that they set up. Surprisingly Jessie's Nurse Joy disguise was an imitation of the real Nurse Joy's appearance where the lips did not move, which Brock took notice of.

===The Johto region===
*''[[EP123|The Spinarak Attack]]'': The trio dresses as medieval thieves stealing items akin to The Black Arachnid.
*''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as doctors, wearing full white suits with gloves, mouth covers, and white skullcaps with red lines and a Red Cross on the front.
*''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer With Fire]]'': Jessie and James are weakly disguised as survey takers from the Pokémon Bureau.
*''[[EP132|For Crying Out Loud]]'': The trio are disguised as farmers.
*''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as inventors with a "machine" that supposedly makes the user's Pokémon stronger, but instead, winds up as empty [[Poké Ball]]s.
*''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' : James, inspired from a phony Pokémon zodiac book given to them by Butch and Cassidy (in disguise), dresses in a {{p|Moltres}} costume for the first time. This is repeated in ''The Dunsparce Deception'' in a Pokémon stage show to the great disappointment of the children watching.
*''[[EP160|Air Time]]'': The trio disguise themselves as a ventriloquist act called "The Dugtrio Trio", with Meowth as the dummy.
*''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as [[Duplica]] and {{Ash}} respectively. This appears to serve no real purpose as they immediately reveal themselves to the real Duplica and Ash and are not seen in the outfits again.
*''[[EP193|The Dunsparce Deception]]'': Jessie and James are dressed like pirates when they first attempt to steal our heroes' Pokémon. Later, James disguises as a town messenger with a blue shirt, straw hat and a hand bell when announcing the Pokémon stage show, in which James wears the Moltres costume first shown in ''The Fortune Hunters'', and Meowth wears a {{p|Dunsparce}} costume, to the great disappointment of the kids watching.
*''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves in standard black Team Rocket uniforms in order to sneak into an underwater Rocket lab and take credit for [[Professor Namba]]'s plan. Later, in ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', Jessie and James once again don the black Rocket uniforms in a second attempt to steal the captured {{p|Lugia}}.
*''[[EP226|Espeon Not Included]]'': Team Rocket disguises themselves as {{wp|Geisha}} girls as they try to steal an unevolved {{p|Eevee}} that would later evolve into a {{TP|Sakura|Espeon}}.
*''[[EP245|Will The Real Oak Please Stand Up?]]'': The trio disguises themselves in Marron Town as [[DJ Mary]] (Jessie), {{an|Professor Oak}} (James) and a loud-mouthed radio producer (Meowth). James would repeat the Oak disguise in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]''
*''[[EP258|Hatch Me if You Can]]'': Jessie and James disguised themselves as Nurse Joy and a doctor respectably and claimed to be from the New Bark Town Pokémon Center at the Pokémon Center where Ash and his friends were, with Meowth hiding in Jessie's dress to act as Nurse Joy's breasts. The two tried to steal the {{AP|Larvitar}} that just hatched after they got rid of the real Nurse Joy, but Brock was able to tell it was an impostor due to the mask's mouth not moving, among other details.

==''Advanced Generation'' series==
*[[File:Lord Sir James Jamison.png|right|thumb|Team Rocket's deception in ''Do I hear a Ralts?'' was outed by the Pokédex.]]''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'': James disguises himself in a grayish brown suit with a matching hat, white gloves, a mustache, and glasses, calling him self Lord Sir James Jamison, Esquire. Jessie and Meowth are disguised as a {{p|Gardevoir}} and a {{p|Kirlia}}, respectively.
**This is notable as this was the first time their ruse was blown by the Pokédex (it identified Meowth by its species rather than as a Kirlia. Later on, [[DP014|a similar]] incident happened, albeit with Meowth disguised as a Shiftry instead of as a Kirlia).
*''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'': Jessie and James disguise as Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy respectively when attempting to steal the Moltres flame where a crowd of real Jennies and Joys are appearing. Interestingly, unlike when Jessie disguised as Nurse Joy previously, James does not use a mask, but their disguises for the most part appear flawless except for their true eyes obviously being shaped differently from the real Joys and Jennies, and by James's fake falsetto voice.
*In the movie ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', Jessie and James are disguised as clowns at a carnival handing out flyers promoting a magic show staged by The Great Butler.
{{-}}

==''Diamond & Pearl'' series==
*''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era]]'': Jessie, James, and Meowth have on open, green sales jackets. Jessie wears clear glasses with her hair tied up in a bun. James has only the clear glasses. Meowth has nothing on besides the jacket.
**This disguise has been claimed by many senior members of the fan base to be the worst disguise to have ever been used by the Team Rocket Trio (as it didn't even cover the most glaring flaw of their disguise, the R on their uniforms), and is often used by most of them as reasons why Ash and Brock should have been able to tell right away that they were Team Rocket.
*''[[DP008|Gymbaliar]]'': Jessie is dressed up in likeness of her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. She wears a purple dress with matching purple gloves. The dress has a red waistband in the front, and there are scales going down her dress to imitate her Seviper's. She also has red and yellow glasses that vaguely resemble Seviper's eyes. James is dressed up in a white suit with a pink shirt and matching pink tie and orange shades. Meowth is dressed up in a red suit with a blue bow tie and regular shades.
*''[[DP010|Not On MY Watch Ya Don't]]'': Jessie, James, and Meowth are dressed up like clowns. Jessie is wearing a yellow suit with a matching yellow hat and has her hair is up in a bun.

He has small glasses and a gigantic green bowtie, as well as red paint over his mouth. Meowth is wearing a red suit with a matching red hat. The hat has a little white ball on the top of it. He also has blue stripes painted vertically over his eyes.
* ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]'': The trio disguised themselves as the "C-Button League". Aside from shirts with the letter "C", they wore sunglasses with the letter "C" making up the frames.
*''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'': The trio dresses up as exquisite [[Type-enhancing item#Soft sand|sand]] merchants to try to steal {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Hippopotas}}. They include a bag of sand to lure Hippopotas into and a picnic blanket in their disguise.
*''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]'': Jessie was disguised as [[Fantina]] with glasses for her performance in the [[Celestic Town]] contest.
*''[[DP098|If the Scarf Fits, Wear It!]]'': Jessie and James were disguised as ''[[Sinnoh Star]]'' reporters and Meowth as a photographer to find out about the Scarf Monster everyone is talking about in Solaceon Town.
*''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'': Jessie and James were again disguised as punk rockers to draw attention to a poster to a school called the Pokémon Friendship School. Later that episode Jessie disguised as a teacher at the Pokémon Friendship School; James was disguised as an aerobics instructor.
*''[[DP126|Classroom Training]]'': The three disguise themselves as students at the Snowpoint school. Jessie and James wears glasses.

*In the two-part story arc ''[[DP151|The Needs of Three]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend]]'', Jessie and James, along with [[Looker]], are disguised as [[Team Galactic]] grunts in order to stop [[Cyrus]]' plan to start a new world order.
*''[[DP153|The Treasure is All Mine!]]'': At the outset of the story, Jessie, James and Meowth do their disguise of pirates that was first seen as they introduced themselves in ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]''. Later, when James returns to one of his summer homes in the region, Jessie disguises herself as [[Jessiebelle]] to gain entry, and Meowth is disguised as a dapper gentleman with a top hat.
*''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'': Jessie, James and Meowth disguise themselves as members of the Pokémon Rescue Society in order to give a lesson to Ash and Dawn about [[Dawn's Piplup|the latter's Piplup]] running away after another {{m|Draco Meteor}} by [[Ash's Gible]] goes astray.

==''Best Wishes'' series==
In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Team Rocket has been using special disguises to hide their identities. Each one has a long overcoat, a pair of sunglasses, and a hat. Jessie's outfit is purple, James's is blue, and Meowth's is brown. Unlike most of Team Rocket's other disguises, this one has been seen in more than one episode, being seen in most of the Best Wishes episodes they appeared in up to ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', and again in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'' and ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]''. Disguises as other people like in the other previous series have appeared less often, the only one so far being in ''[[BW30|A UFO For Elgyem!]],'' if Meowth's Umbreon disguise is not counted.

*''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]'': Jessie painted Meowth to look like an {{p|Umbreon}} to distract [[Don George]] and the others at the [[Battle Club]] so they could steal some supplies.

[[File:First Edition Official Handbook.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The first version]]
[[File:TheOfficialPokémonHandbook.gif|thumb|right|200px|The second version]]
'''The Official Pokémon Handbook''' by [[Maria S. Barbo]] (ISBN 0439103975) is a handbook that was published by [[Scholastic]] in July 1999, advertised as "your complete companion to all 150 Pokémon characters!" to serve as a rudimentary, paper version of a [[Pokédex]]. Despite this, and like many printed Pokémon books, it has multiple errors and misprints. It contains an entry for each of the original 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon. A Deluxe Collector's Edition was published later with entries for {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Togepi}}.

==Entries==
The entries for each Pokémon are structured in an easy-to-read page setup. Each Pokémon has either an entire page to itself, or shares a page with another member of its evolutionary family.

Each entry is topped with a large box containing the Pokémon's name and [[National Pokédex]] number. The color of the box reflects the featured Pokémon's [[type]].

Stock artwork of each Pokémon is the main focus of its entry page. Underneath the picture is a short description about the Pokémon, styled in a way that is similar to a Pokédex entry. Occasionally, a page will also contain a "Pokédex Pick", which is additional information about the Pokémon, often an anecdote about the Pokémon's appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

The sidebar of each entry contains the following stats:
* Pronunciation
* [[Type|Element]]
* [[Species|Type]]
* Height (in inches)
* Weight (in pounds)
* Techniques ([[move]]s the Pokémon will already know)
* Other Techniques (moves the Pokémon will learn as it levels up)
* Good Against (lists what type advantages it has over other Pokémon)
* Bad Against (type disadvantages against other Pokémon)
* Evolution (Normal, Stone, Trade, or None)
* Evolves at Level: __
Levels are not given for when Pokémon will learn techniques, although they are listed in the order in which they are learned. Moves learnable by [[TM]]s are not listed.

At the very bottom of the entry there are evolution chains to show what the Pokémon evolves into or evolved from. Pokémon that do not evolve or have not yet been revealed to evolve do not show an evolution chain.

==Other content==
At the beginning of the book there is an introductory chapter titled "A Word From [[Professor Oak]]". The chapter describes the premise of the handbook and of the Pokémon world in general (this information is largely influenced by anime [[canon]]). It also contains a preface called ''The Pokémon Journey'', an illustrated map of the [[Kanto]] region, and another preface, ''Battle Basics'', as well as a ''How to use this book'' diagram.

At the end of the book, there is a list of ''Top 10 Ways to Care for your Pokémon'', ''Secrets of the Gym Leaders'', ''Meet the Elite Four'', some FAQs, information about {{p|Togepi}}, a sneak peek of Generation II Pokémon, and a checklist of all the Generation I Pokémon. The Deluxe Collector's Edition also has some more information on different characters from the {{pkmn|anime}}.

===The Top Ten Ways To Care For Your Pokémon===
10. Take it to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]] regularly for a free checkup and a complete healing. Every major city has one. Always make sure your Pokémon is well rested and in good health before a major battle.

9. ''[[Trade]] it with a friend. The more new life experiences your Pokémon has the stronger and smarter it will become. Then you can trade back for it.''

8. ''Keep a well-stocked first-aid kit. Battles, even for play, cause cuts, scrapes, and bruises. Every town has a [[Poké Mart]] where you can buy these supplies, but the [[Celadon City Department Store]] is the best stocked. A good first-aid kit includes:''
* ''{{DL|Status ailment healing item|Awakening|Awakening Potion}} — wakes up a Pokémon that has been put to sleep''
* ''{{DL|Status ailment healing item|Antidote}} — cures {{status|poison|poisonous stings}}''
* ''{{DL|Status ailment healing item|Paralyze Heal}} — loosens up a Pokémon that {{status|Paralysis|can't move}}''
* ''{{DL|Status ailment healing item|Burn Heal}} — soothes painful {{status|burn}}s left by {{t|Fire}} elements''
* ''[[Potion]]s — heal wounds in general''
* ''{{DL|Revive|Revive}} — wakes up Pokémon that have [[Fainting|fainted]]''
* ''{{DL|Status ailment healing item|Ice Heal}} — defrosts {{status|frozen}} Pokémon''

7. ''Start off slowly. Don't try to fight another [[Pokémon Trainer|trainer]] too soon. Build up your Pokémon's [[experience]] through small competitions with [[wild Pokémon]]. When you are ready to take on another Trainer, make sure your Pokémon and the trainer's Pokémon have a similar amount of experience.''

6. ''Practice. Let a new or less experienced Pokémon start off a big battle. Then replace it with a stronger Pokémon before it gets hurt. Quick, safe battles are a good way to build up a Pokémon's experience.''

5. ''Stay smart. Make sure you know everything you can about your Pokémon before you decide how to raise it. Each Pokémon is special and has different needs.''

4. ''Take your Pokémon to the museum. There's [[Pewter Museum of Science|a great museum of science]] in [[Pewter City]] with an exhibit of extinct Pokémon bones. A definite must-see!''

3. ''Teamwork. The six Pokémon you carry with you should have a variety of [[move|techniques]] and [[Type|elements]]. Also, don't concentrate on raising up one Pokémon's experience and not the others'. Keep all of your Pokémon equally strong. The secret to success is teamwork.''

2. ''Don't forget your [[vitamin]]s! Pokémon need to take their vitamins and minerals to keep them healthy and strong. These are some of the items that you can buy for your Pokémon:''
*''{{DL|Vitamin|Calcium}} — to increase {{stat|special}} powers''
*''{{DL|Vitamin|Carbos}} — to increase {{stat|speed}}''
*''{{DL|Vitamin|Iron}} — to increase {{stat|defense}} strength''
*''{{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} — to increase {{stat|attack}} strength''
*''{{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} — OK, so it's not a vitamin. But a treat once in a while keeps your Pokémon happy and boosts their energy up one level.''

1. ''LOVE THEM! Pokémon aren't just fighters. They want to be your friends. If you treat them well, they will be loyal companions.''

==Errors==
* The back cover asks "''Did you know that the swirls on {{p|Poliwhirl}}'s stomach changes direction when it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Poliwag}}?''" While the change of direction is correct, Poliwag evolves into Poliwhirl, not the other way around.
* The entry for {{p|Venusaur}} lists its element as {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Poison}}, and then also lists its element as "Seed". This is a misprint, as while Grass/Poison is its type, "seed" refers to its [[species]], not its type.
* In {{p|Beedrill}}'s entry, {{t|Psychic}} is misspelled as "Pychic".
* In {{p|Lapras}}'s entry, its lower jaw is colored blue as opposed to the white in its official artwork.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, Sabrina's profile states that "a very goofy Gengar taught her to smile." In fact, in the anime, it was [[Sabrina's Haunter|a Haunter]] who did this.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, it says in the index that page 133 has information about Togepi but it is, in fact, on page 155.
* Also, in Ash's bio for the Deluxe Collector's Edition, the list of Pokémon that Ash owns has {{AP|Pidgeot}} and {{AP|Lapras}}, despite the fact that by the time Lapras was caught by Ash, Pidgeot had already left the team, and should therefore have been on the list with the other Pokémon he used to own.
* The moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} are omitted from the original book.
* In {{p|Lickitung}}'s entry, it states that it will confuse its opponent with its {{m|Wrap}} technique and then attack a maximum of five times with its {{m|Supersonic}}, instead of the other way around.
* {{p|Pikachu}}'s entry states that its species as a whole has a natural dislike for being held inside [[Poké Ball]]s. This, however, only applies to [[Ash's Pikachu]].
* Koffing's page says that James said Koffing "smells like old sneakers soaked in stinkbug juice mixed with some rotten eggs and dead fish with just a touch of skunk fumes!", but when he said this in [[EP026]], he was referring to the scent of {{p|Gloom}}.
* In the first and early printings of the second edition, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}'s entries state that they do not evolve, yet both contain an evolution chain graphic suggesting that the former evolves into the latter. Later printings and the Deluxe Collectors' Edition remove this.
* On the back of the Deluxe Collector's Edition, it says ''All you ever wanted to know about Pokémon Trainers {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{TRT}}, and more!'' However, Team Rocket is a villanous team, not a Pokémon Trainer.

==In other languages==
* Polish: '''{{tt|Wielka księga Pokémon. Złap je wszystkie!|Book of Pokémon. Catch them all!}}'''
