==Any References?==
With the impending release of [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]] in America, can someone keep an eye out for any in-game references to Gen. V? Much appreciated. [[User:The Jigglypuff Ninja|The Jigglypuff Ninja]] 01:04, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:I doubt there are any references to Gen V in HGSS. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 01:09, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

:::Any references will probably be in the new Ranger game. Although the Lock Capsule is probably related to something in Generation V.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 01:11, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

:::::At the risk of dragging this out too far (this is quickly becoming something that'd fit on the forums), hackers would have found a Celebi Event in the coding, but no one has. Add in that PokeBeach reports that it seems to have similar transfer data as the Manaphy Egg, and it seems like it's supposed to be transferred out of HGSS into a new game... but I digress.

==Jumping the Gun a bit?==
Are you guys sure we aren't looking into this a bit too far? All we have for clues are that they announced a new game and a new *something*. Not to mention it says it's gonna be new on the DS. What's to be sure of all of that? For all we know, the new game could be MindCrystal, the silhouette could be a new Forme like the last 5 that were announced. The new game could be a wii sequel to Pokemon XD:Gale of Darkness. If we can't even have Pokemon evolved editing pages when they're in the titles of episodes, why can we just up and announce a new generation? I mean, Pokebeach even said the silhouette isn't Z, what makes anyone certain it's Generation V?[[User:SLE_aman|SLE_]][[User:SLE_aman/talk|aman]] 11:53, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:What does Pokebeach have to do with anything? We know this is Gen V because Masuda SAID it is a new Pokémon. Nothing in this article says that this Pokémon is Z. Because we don't know that. All we know is that it is a new Pokémon. To think otherwise... well, you're in denial big time. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 12:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
::The original announcement talked about the popularity of Diamond and Pearl before saying this game will be set in a new region with new Pokémon. What more evidence do you need? --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] <sup>|[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]|</sup> 12:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

:::Well, technically, the RPG announcement never explicitly said it would be main series. Even though Generation V Pokémon were hinted, it was never explicitly said that it was the full-fledged generation. It also never explicitly said it would be a pair, either. There are RPGs other than the main series, and they could use a side-series RPG to give Generation V-based cameos to increase anticipation for the full-fledged generation to come at a later date (much like Mystery Dungeon 1 did). Recent announcements pretty much excludes the possibility of it being a Ranger 4, but it's still possible that it could be a Mystery Dungeon 5 or something completely different than anything we've seen before. My [[$1|2¢]]: Odds are the TBA 2010 thing is not for the full-fledged Generation V. Especially if the RPG announcement turns out to be for a single. They've faked us out before, and even if the silhouette does turn out legitimate, it's probably still too early to be thinking full-fledged Generation V. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

::::Actually, I've seen a subb'ed version. Masuda specifically said "We're working on a new generation of pokémon" --[[User:Camzoman]]
::::Yeah. And nowhere in that did it explicitly say that was the TBA 2010 project. They can be working on a new generation of Pokémon, yet still announce and release side games relating mainly to the previous generation. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 19:34, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::Camzoman, where exactly did you see this subbed version? I did not hear Masuda mention a "new generation" anywhere in the video - what he said was "we're developing a brand-new work for Pokemon." However, I don't think there's any denying at this point that it is indeed the new generation. The [http://www.corocoro.tv/pokerelease/index.html Corocoro site] doesn't seem to be implying that this is a side game (not that Game Freak makes side games to begin with). It's a new version(s), with a new setting, new Pokemon, new features... sounds like a new generation to me. :/ <span style="border: 2px dotted #FFBBDD;">[[User:Umeko|<span style="color:#FF99CC;">梅子</span>]][[User talk:Umeko|<span style="color:#CCDDFF;"><sup>❄</sup></span>]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|<span style="color:#CCDDFF;"><sub>❅</sub></span>]]</span> 19:54, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

== Generation V Pokémon Infobox, anyone? ==

I know you'll probably all find this pointless, but I decided to throw together a [[Template:PokémonInfoboxGenV|temporary infobox]] to use for the Generation V Pokémon articles. It's basically a stripped-down version of the regular infobox that leaves out all the fields for any technical stuff (Egg groups, EXP yield, Gender ratios, etc.) that's unlikely to be revealed until ''Pokémon V'' comes out later this year. I also created a [[User:Quagbert/Z (Pokémon)|user-subpage for the silhouetted mystery Pokémon]] that uses a [[Template:PokémonInfoboxGenVNoncat|non-categorizing version]] of this template.

Alright, these two Pokémon have been offically confirmed by the leaked CoroCoro scans, but apparently it's still considered too early to put up the Bulbapedia articles for them. Is there some additional form of conformation that we're waiting for?

Anyway, I already have {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} in my userspace ready to be moved to the main space when we're finally allowed to do so. [[User:Quagbert|Quagbert]] 17:07, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

::IIRC, none of that sort of information (especially base stats) was revealed for the Generation IV Pokémon until the actual release of Diamond/Pearl, or shortly before, though we still had mainspace articles for them anyway.

On the page, it says that it has noteable links with the Riolu and Poochyena families. If it's definitely pure dark type then just ignore this, but couldn't it be an alternative to the Vulpix family? --[[User:Herachu|Herachu]] 22:07, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

== New Pokémon template ==

Based partly on the {{template|DP episode}} template, I've decided to make a [[Template:NewPokémon|new Pokémon template]] to use the next time a new Pokémon is revealed. The code would go like this:
<pre>
{{subst:NewPokémon|main|Jp. Katakana name|Romanized Jp. name|
typen= (number of types) |
type1= (first type) |
type2= (second type) |
pron= (name's pronunciation) |
jspecies= (species in Japanese) |
species= (species, aka "____ Pokémon")
image= (filename of image) |
caption= (caption for said image) |
height-m= (height in meters) |
weight-kg= (weight in kilograms) |
prev= (previous Pokémon's (i.e. pre-evolution) name, Arceus by default) |
prevnum= (previous Pokémon's National Dex #, 493 by default) |
next= (next Pokémon's (i.e. evolved form) name, Bulbasaur by default) |
prevnum= (next Pokémon's National Dex #, 001 by default) |
}}
</pre>
Those who want to use this template for their own userspace should replace "main" in the top line with "user", so that those user sub-pages aren't categorized with the genuine Pokémon articles in the main space. [[User:Quagbert|Quagbert]] 01:04, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

== Hmm... ==

This is a rather interesting article, and I must say I am excited. But they did mess up Pokémon (not comppletely, but to a big extent) with D/P/P. I hope they fix it, but still, I like D/P when I didn't know what was going to happen, anyway...

'''Pokémon - I Choose You!''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン！きみにきめた！''' ''Pokémon! I Choose You!'') is the very first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the US, however, the first episode shown was ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997 and was first broadcast in the United States on September 8, 1998.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
The episode begins the same way as [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]], down to the style of the images and the sound. A {{p|Nidorino}} and a {{p|Gengar}} are exchanging attacks in a {{pkmn|battle}}. After Nidorino dodges Gengar's attack, it leaps at it. At the same time, the [[Pokémon games|game]] starts to come to life, with the small frame enlarging into the entire screen, and the monochrome [[Pokémon]] fading into color.

The two are battling in a stadium at the [[Pokémon League]], watched by crowds of fans. Gengar dodges Nidorino's {{m|Fury Attack}}, and then jumps on its head to make an opening to put it to sleep with {{m|Hypnosis}}. As Nidorino falls {{status|Sleep|asleep}}, its {{pkmn|Trainer}} recalls it into its [[Poké Ball]], and then throws out another to take its place. The Gengar jumps back as an {{p|Onix}} comes out. It tries to {{m|Slam}} into Gengar face-first, but misses and hits the battlefield instead. It pulls back up, unfazed.

This battle is being watched on television by a boy from [[Pallet Town]] named [[Ash Ketchum]]. He is now ten years old, which means he can become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Tomorrow, he will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Oak]] and start his Pokémon journey, the first step on the long quest of his dream of becoming a [[Pokémon master]].

His mother enters the room and reminds him that it is 11 o'clock at night, and that he should be asleep. He complains that he is too excited to fall asleep. As a compromise, his mother changes his television's channel to [[Professor Oak's lecture]], and tells him to go to bed when the program is finished.

That night, he dreams about the starter Pokémon as he tries to decide which one he wants. First, he dreams of choosing and sending out {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and then {{p|Squirtle}}. The night turns to morning, and Ash, still in bed, dreams about if he chose {{p|Charmander}}. Suddenly, he bolts awake to find that he threw his {{p|Voltorb}}-shaped alarm clock in his sleep, and it had smashed against the wall. Afraid that he might have overslept, Ash bolted out of his house in his pajamas and runs as fast as he can to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

Outside the laboratory, a crowd of people had gathered, including a group of [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]]. Ash pushes through and bumps into his [[rival]], which is the grandson of the professor, [[Gary Oak]]. Gary taunts him for being late. He tells Ash that he has already received his starter Pokémon from his grandfather. He boasts to the crowd that he will make Pallet Town famous by becoming a Pokémon master. Ash, however, is more interested in finding out what starter Gary chose. Gary tells him that it was the best one, and then leaves in a red sports car, followed by the crowd.

Before Ash can say anything about how upset he was by his rival, Professor Oak approaches him. Ash drops his anger and asks about getting a Pokémon. Professor Oak seems doubtful that he's ready, since he showed up in his pajamas, but Ash insists that he's ready.

Inside Oak's laboratory, three Poké Balls were set up on a storage device, with a place for a fourth in the center. Ash decides that he would like to start with Squirtle, but when he opens the Poké Ball, he found that it was empty. Professor Oak tells him it was taken by a [[Gary Oak|Trainer who wasn't late]]. After this, he decides he'd like Bulbasaur, but this Poké Ball is also empty. He has no choice but to go for the last choice, Charmander, but the final Poké Ball is also empty. The three were all taken by Trainers who arrived on time, and it seems that there is no Pokémon left for Ash.

Professor Oak mentions that he has another Pokémon, but that there was a problem with it. Ash wants it anyway. In the fourth spot in the middle, a Poké Ball appears that has a lightning bolt mark on it. He picks it up and hands it to Ash. The ball opens, and in a burst of lighting, {{p|Pikachu}} comes out of the ball. Ash loves the cute Pokémon, and picks it up and hugs it. Pikachu doesn't like this, and shocks him with an {{t|Electric}} attack. Oak hands him a [[Pokédex]] and six Poké Balls, but gets shocked as well when he touches Ash.

When Ash steps outside the laboratory, he finds a small crowd had gathered as well, including his mother, who is sad to see him leaving. She gives him his [[bag]] full of supplies, and starts explaining everything she packed for him. He gets embarrassed and pulls it away. She sees Pikachu, and wonders why it isn't in its Poké Ball. He tries to get it in, but it hits the ball back every time. Ash says that they are friends, even despite Pikachu's behavior. His mother calls it weird, and in anger, it shocks the entire crowd with its electricity.

Soon, Ash sets off, trying to get a handle on the rebellious Pokémon by wearing rubber gloves and dragging it with a clothesline leash. After getting tired of dragging it along, he tries to talk to it and find out what is wrong, only to find out that Pikachu can't say anything but its name. He tries to convince it to get back in its Poké Ball, and pulls out his new Pokédex for information on it. His Pokédex explains that Pokémon must be kept in the Poké Ball. Then Pikachu clicks it and it explains that not all Pokémon like to be kept in Poké Balls. Ash decides to earn Pikachu's trust by treating it nicely, and he unties the clothesline and takes off his rubber gloves. Pikachu turns away.

Then, a {{p|Pidgey}} walks out near them, and Ash scans it with his Pokédex for more information. He is eager to catch it, but Pikachu doesn't want to help him and instead, runs up a tree. Frustrated, Ash decides to try and catch the Pidgey without Pikachu's help. He throws a Poké Ball at it, but the Pidgey breaks out easily. The Pokédex explaines that a Pokémon should be weakened before it can be caught. Pikachu laughs at Ash. He tries again, this time attempting to throw his pajama shirt on top of the Pidgey, but the bird blows him off with a {{m|Gust}} and then hits him with a {{m|Sand-Attack}} before it flies away. Pikachu laughs at Ash more. Ash turns and sees that a {{p|Rattata}} is digging through his bag. He scans it with his Pokédex, which mentions that Rattata is a forest Pokémon. Just as Ash questions why it came out into the field, the Pokédex explains that it sometimes leaves its habitat to steal from ''stupid'' travelers. Pikachu laughs at Ash even more.

Ash turns and saw a group of Pidgey in the field, and throws a rock at them, which only scares them away. However, he sees another bird Pokémon in the field and throws another rock at it, which hits it in the back of its head. When it turns to look at him, however, he realized that he didn't hit a Pidgey; he scans it with his Pokédex and learns that this is a {{p|Spearow}}, which is considerably less friendly than a Pidgey. The Spearow swoops several times to attack him, and then spots and targets Pikachu instead. The Pokédex explains that wild Pokémon are sometimes jealous of trained Pokémon. Just as the Spearow is about to knock Pikachu out of the tree, Pikachu shocks it with an Electric attack, knocking it out of the sky.

The Spearow, however, cries for help, and Ash and Pikachu start running away from a flock of angry Spearow. Pikachu ran ahead of Ash, and the Spearow fly after it, attacking it until it fell to the ground. The Spearow start swarming around it, but Ash grabbs his injured Pikachu and runs straight to a waterfall. He jumps into the river below to escape the Spearow, and is being dragged into a large pond, narrowly swimming out of the path of a {{p|Gyarados}}.

On the shore of this pond, a [[Misty|girl]] is [[fishing]], and is excited to find that she had a bite. However, instead of a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, she pulls out Ash and Pikachu. She doesn't care about Ash, but is very concerned about the injured Pokémon in his arms. She tells him that he needs to take it to the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Viridian City]], and points out the way to go. However, he hears the distant cries of Spearow, and turns to see the flock in the sky, flying toward him. He steals the girl's [[bicycle|bike]], putting the Pikachu in its basket, and rides away, promising that he would bring it back someday. The girl screams at him as he rides away, but he ignores her.

He quickly starts to ride to Viridian City, with storm clouds above him and the tens of Spearow in close pursuit. Soon, it starts to rain. He rides the bike over a ledge, and it falls on its side, which knocks Ash and Pikachu off. Ash finds himself looking at his injured Pikachu lying on the ground, with the Spearow approaching and the storm growing worse. Desperate to save his Pokémon, he leaves Pikachu's Poké Ball next to it, and then stands before the Spearow, telling them to attack him in order to give Pikachu time to get inside its ball where it would be safe. However, just as the Spearow are about to dive on Ash, Pikachu leaps up and over Ash's shoulder. It jumps at the flock of Spearow. The lightning from the storm is drawn to Pikachu, highly raising its potential and strength by vast amounts, and it uses a massive electrical attack to take out the entire flock, as well as the girl's bike. Pikachu is drained of stamina from the effort.

Once the storm has cleared, Ash and Pikachu both rise from where they were knocked back on the ground, exhausted but victorious. Ash looks up and sees {{an|Ho-Oh|an unknown Pokémon}} majestically flying through the sky, over the rainbow that had been left after the storm, but his Pokédex could not identify the species.

He continues on, carrying his new friend Pikachu in his arms as he walks the rest of the way to Viridian City, knowing that something big is ahead of him; something to fight for.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ho-oh's_First_appearance.jpg|right|thumb|200px|{{an|Ho-Oh}}]]
* The legendary bird Ash saw at the ending of the episode was {{an|Ho-Oh}}. This makes Ho-Oh the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the series, and in the first episode of the entire series.
* This is the first time the Japanese title of a Pokémon episode is directly translated into English instead of rewritten.
* The beginning of the episode features sound effects from the original [[Game Boy]] games, drawing from the opening animation from {{game|Red and Green|s}} (with a {{p|Gengar}} battling a {{p|Nidorino}}) before moving seamlessly into the battle that Ash himself is watching on TV.
* The shadowed trainer shown at the very beginning of the episode with the Nidorino and Onix was [[Bruno]].
* Ash has a {{p|Voltorb}} clock, with a cuckoo clock {{p|Pidgey}} in it.
* This is the only episode where one can see Pikachu in its [[Poké Ball]].
* This is the first episode in which Ash's Pokédex is activated while it is closed. The next episode that meets this criteria is [[EP035]].
* In this episode, it is revealed that {{p|Spearow}} see in black and white.
* Ash tries and fails to capture a Pidgey, though he will [[EP003|later]] succeed in capturing {{AP|its evolution|Pidgeot}}.
* Despite this episode centering around receiving a starter Pokémon, neither {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} actually appeared in the flesh until ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', and ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', respectively. This is unlike the following generations where at least two of the starter Pokémon appeared in the first episode of that generation.
[[File:Green pokeball.JPG|thumb|right|The green Poké Ball]]
* This is one of the few episodes where [[Rachael Lillis]] provides the voice of Pikachu in a few scenes. This happened when another character spoke over [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s Pikachu voice and the audio could not be saved.
* This is the only main series episode that does not have [[Team Rocket]] in it until [[AG120]], a clip show that summed up the entire {{series|Advanced Generation}} up to that point. It is also the only dubbed main series episode that does not have [[Team Rocket]] in it, due to [[AG120]] being skipped in the dub.
* This is the only episode that begins a [[generation]] that aired ''after'' its corresponding games in English. {{game|Red and Blue|s}} were released a week before this episode first aired, while all later episodes that begin a region aired dubbed a few days before the English release of their corresponding games.
* This episode can be found on the third [[GBA video]].
* Professor Oak knew that at least four new Trainers would be receiving their starter Pokémon and beginning their journey. However, he only ever thought to stock three (a Bulbasaur, a Charmander, and a Squirtle) not counting Pikachu, who is seen as a "last resort." Professor Oak states that if Ash was early, there would be one for him. However, even if Ash ''was'' earlier (the third to arrive), any of the other Trainers would arrive fourth to find that Oak is fresh out of Pokémon, except for Pikachu.
* The book ''[[I Choose You!]]'' is based on this episode.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 1: Pikachu'' copy of [[Pokémon All Stars]].

===Errors===
* In the original, the Pokédex misidentifies Pidgey as the ''Sky Pokémon'', instead of the ''Tiny Bird Pokémon''.
* In the beginning, Pikachu's Poké Ball has a lightning bolt on it, but later the bolt is gone.
* When Ash sees a {{p|Rattata}} for the first time, Ash's Pokédex mispronounces its name.
* When Ash runs up to Misty's bike, his shoes are not painted, making it look like he has socks on. Then, when he puts Pikachu in her bike, his shoes are painted red like Misty's.
* When Ash is carrying Pikachu to the nearest Pokémon Center, [[Ash's hat|his hat]] is initially forwards. In the next two scenes, it is backwards. In the last scene, Ash's hat is facing forwards again.
* When Ash opens his Pokédex for the first time, the directional buttons disappeared.
* The sneakers that [[Delia Ketchum|Ash's mother]] hands him are the same ones he was wearing when he ran to get his Pokémon.
* When Ash is standing in front of the Spearow trying to protect Pikachu, he says "Spearows," but when talking about more than one of a specific species of Pokémon, it is not plural. This mistake is also made by the narrator in [[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]].

===Dub edits===
[[File:1 _English Sub_ 'Pokemon! I Choose You!'_0001.jpg|right|thumb|The cut shot]]
* When Ash goes into Professor Oak's lab and looks at the Poké Balls, they are all labeled in Japanese. Later, when Ash picks up a Poké Ball, the labels are painted over.
* In the unedited/Japanese version, after Ash said to [[Misty]], "I'm okay," she slapped him. This was cut from the [[dub]] (the screen freezes just as Ash answers Misty) due to direct violence controversy. In the next scene, Ash can clearly be seen rubbing his aching face and Misty has her hand in the air.
* In Japan, Misty tells Ash there is a hospital in [[Viridian City]]; in the dub, she just says that it is nearby.
* When Delia switches the channel on Ash's TV, Professor Oak is talking about tomorrow being the newest day for Pokémon students. However, in the whole view of the TV when Ash moves his head into view, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle have their Japanese names written below each picture. But when the camera zooms in on each picture and then eases out, the Japanese names are gone.
* When Ash speaks to Gary in the English dub, Gary acts as though they have never met when they have in fact known each other since their early childhood.

I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{bp|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Heavy editing of these personal pages can put undue stress on the server, so please leave your page alone for now and go help out in the mainspace. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so please help us to complete it! If you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit your userpage more often too.

== Common sighting ==

As many of us already know, there is a meme out there about the Pokémon, [[Mudkip]]. The meme would be, ''so i herd u liek mudkipz'', obviously using incorrect grammar, spelling and Pokélogic.

A name of a Pokémon should never be plural when describing more than one. ''Look at all the Pikachu!'' is correct, while ''Those Mudkips are cute!'' is not.

Because of Mudkip's Internet popularity, many YouTube videos and images have sprouted around the Internet. Many people have prank-called companies and organizations referring to Mudkip as an animal, or sometimes, an object.

== SECTION 1 ==
'''What is Pokémon?'''

Pokémon is a franchise based on catching fictional creatures (Pokémon) in special balls (titled Poké Balls) and train them to battle other Pokémon. Originating in Japan, this franchise has become extremely popular.

What is most likely the most famous part of the franchise would be the handheld video games. The very first Pokémon games ever to exist are Pokémon Red and Green in Japan, for the Game Boy.

Since then they have made several improved versions of the games, entirely new generations with new Pokémon to collect and new areas to explore, remakes and many spin-offs.

Another part of the franchise is the animated TV show, featuring a young trainer named Ash, who goes on a journey to become a “Pokémon Master.” With each new generation of games, they have made a new season of the TV show following the basic storyline of the games.

There have been over 11 movies so far, the most recent one (at the time of writing) is ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life''. The TV show for some reason has no references to the movies, even though it features the same characters, and there are no signs of this ever changing.

And lastly, we have the trading card game. In this game, you collect a deck of 60 cards and battle with them in a method very different than in the games or TV show. There are special cards known as “ex” or “Level X” cards, stronger versions of the Pokémon.

== SECTION 2 ==
'''Common information'''

In the video games, Pokémon have a level ranging from 1 to 100 that mostly states how powerful the Pokémon is. At a certain level, most Pokémon “evolve” into a new kind of Pokémon, usually with increased strength and always with a different appearance, though usually very similar to its previous form.

Pokémon have certain “moves,” or the way in which they attack another Pokémon. In the games, these can be learned from a TM, a Technical Machine, or an HM, a Hidden Machine. TM's can be bought at a Poké Mart, stores spread throughout towns and cities, obtained by accomplishing a certain objective, or found. These can be used once on a Pokémon that can learn the move. An HM is obtained only by completing a certain objective and can be used more than once. These all help the player navigate the main world in some way.

Not all Pokémon can learn the same move, though, because of their types. Their type is basically what kind of moves they can learn. It is basically like a Rock Paper Scissors game, because some types are better against others in battle. Grass is good against water, but weak against fire. There are many different types, and different moves also do more damage than others.

Each Pokémon has a specific name, usually made by combining multiple words relating to the Pokémon. Take Torchic, for example. It is a combination of '''torch''' and '''chick''', because it is a Fire-type and looks like a chick. And since this is a Fire-type, it would have the advantage over Treecko, a Grass-type. Treecko is a combination of '''tree''' and '''gecko'''. This makes sense because treecko looks like a gecko, likes trees and is a Grass-type. And since fire burns grass, Torchic has the advantage.

The '''Pokédex''' is an electronic device that gives information about every Pokémon. In the TV show, you just have to see the Pokémon to get the information, but in the game you have to catch it. There are 493 Pokémon at the moment, and each one has a specific number in the Pokédex. Number 1 is Bulbasaur and Number 493 is Arceus. The whole purpose of the games is to complete your Pokédex with all 493 Pokémon.

[[File:Project GlitchDex.png|right|200px]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about [[Glitch Pokémon]]. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see [[Bulbapedia:Project GlitchDex/To-do list]].

==Project title==
===Scope and aims===
Project Glitch Pokémon covers all articles about glitch Pokémon.

The aims of this project are to write comprehensive articles on glitch Pokémon (and greatly improve existing articles on glitch Pokémon), including specifics on how to obtain them, base stats, type advantages, level-up moves, TM/HM lists, and sprites. Our main sources of information will be [http://www.glitchcity.info] and [http://www.trsrockin.com].

== SECTION 1 ==
What is Pokémon?

Pokémon is a franchise based on catching fictional creatures (Pokémon) in special balls (titled Poké Balls) and train them to battle other Pokémon. Originating in Japan, this franchise has become extremely popular.

What is most likely the most famous part of the franchise would be the handheld video games. The very first Pokémon games ever to exist are Pokémon Red and Green in Japan, for the Game Boy.

Since then they have made several improved versions of the games, entirely new generations with new Pokémon to collect and new areas to explore, remakes and many spin-offs.

Another part of the franchise is the animated TV show, featuring a young trainer named Ash, who goes on a journey to become a “Pokémon Master.” With each new generation of games, they have made a new season of the TV show following the basic storyline of the games.

There have been over 11 movies so far, the most recent one (at the time of writing) is ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life''. The TV show for some reason has no references to the movies, even though it features the same characters, and there are no signs of this ever changing.

And lastly, we have the trading card game. In this game, you collect a deck of 60 cards and battle with them in a method very different than in the games or TV show. There are special cards known as “ex” or “Level X” cards, stronger versions of the Pokémon.

== SECTION 2 ==
Common information

In the video games, Pokémon have a level ranging from 1 to 100 that mostly states how powerful the Pokémon is. At a certain level, most Pokémon “evolve” into a new kind of Pokémon, usually with increased strength and always with a different appearance, though usually very similar to its previous form.

Pokémon have certain “moves,” or the way in which they attack another Pokémon. In the games, these can be learned from a TM, a Technical Machine, or an HM, a Hidden Machine. TM's can be bought at a Poké Mart, stores spread throughout towns and cities, obtained by accomplishing a certain objective, or found. These can be used once on a Pokémon that can learn the move. An HM is obtained only by completing a certain objective and can be used more than once. These all help the player navigate the main world in some way.

Not all Pokémon can learn the same move, though, because of their types. Their type is basically what kind of moves they can learn. It is basically like a Rock Paper Scissors game, because some types are better against others in battle. Grass is good against water, but weak against fire. There are many different types, and different moves also do more damage than others.

At a certain level, most Pokémon “evolve” into a new kind of Pokémon, usually with increased strength and always with a different appearance, though usually very similar to its previous form.
Pokémon have certain “moves,” or the way in which they attack another Pokémon. In the games, these can be learned from a TM, a Technical Machine, or an HM, a Hidden Machine. TM's can be bought at a Poké Mart, stores spread throughout towns and cities, obtained by accomplishing a certain objective, or found. These can be used once on a Pokémon that can learn the move. An HM is obtained only by completing a certain objective and can be used more than once. These all help the player navigate the main world in some way.
Not all Pokémon can learn the same move, though, because of their types. Their type is basically what kind of moves they can learn. It is basically like a Rock Paper Scissors game, because some types are better against others in battle. Grass is good against water, but weak against fire. There are many different types, and different moves also do more damage than others.

WinCamXP:

'''Future generations of Pokémon''' are an expected part of the franchise. Despite 493 Pokémon currently in existence (and the current final known Pokémon being depicted as the godlike creator of the Pokémon universe), it has been indicated that not every Pokémon has been discovered and not every region explored. New regions and new creatures will no doubt herald the beginning of new generations of Pokémon games.

While no official statement has been released from [[The Pokémon Company]] regarding the existence of any future generations, anime director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] has previously [http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=213219 said in an interview] that there will be a Generation V and many more to come.

==Fan speculation==
{{fan speculation}}
The four currently released generations have established and maintained a series of patterns that hint towards what a new generation may entail. Naturally, a new region, new set of Pokémon, new set of moves, and new characters will be introduced. To some extents, these may encompass new concepts, but the standards set down over the past fifteen years will provide the backbone of the game.

It is generally expected that any future generations will accompany a new generation of Nintendo handheld console: every new game system has brought with it a new series of games, the most recent of which is for the [[Nintendo DS]].

===General===
The player will start his or her journey with one of three [[starter Pokémon]], which will be of the {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{type2|Water}}s. Eight [[Gym]]s must be challenged before the player can take on the [[Pokémon League]]; a villainous team must be stopped along the way. After the League has been defeated, a range of special areas will become accessible.

It can be assumed that the games will be released initially as a pair, with a [[third version]] following several years later. The third version will expand on the plot. [[Remake]]s of previous games may follow.

Just as Red and Blue were made in Generation IIV, and Gold and Sliver in Generation IV, it is most likely that Ruby and Sapphire will be remade in Generation V.

The games will be accompanied by new [[Pokémon manga]], {{pkmn|anime}} episodes, and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG cards]].

===Pokémon===
An assortment of new and old Pokémon will make up a [[regional Pokédex]]. Some Pokémon evolution lines, such as those of {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{p|Magikarp}}, have been in every regional Pokédex, so are expected to appear in future generations. {{p|Pikachu}}, as the franchise mascot, alongside its family, is virtually guaranteed.

Some Pokémon may evolve into or from previously released Pokémon. [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions]] have existed since the [[Generation II|second generation]].

[[Legendary Pokémon]] with myths specific to the region are expected. Recent games feature these Pokémon in roles important to the driving plot. These Pokémon often appear in [[Legendary duo|duos]] and [[legendary trio|trios]].

The remainder of the Pokémon may be encountered once the milestone of defeating the Pokémon League is accomplished.

Before the release of Generations II, III, and IV, new Pokémon have been used to promote the new games through the anime. {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Lucario}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} are a few of the Pokémon that debuted before their generation. Additionally, there has been evidence that the newest movie, ''[[Phantom Ruler Z]]'', might introduce a Pokémon from [[Generation V]].

===Characters===
The first four generations have introduced some stock characters. Two [[player character]] options (one male, one female) live in a small town with their [[mom|mother]]. A previously unknown Pokémon professor will set the player's journey in motion. Eight [[Gym Leader]]s stand in the player's way to the [[Elite Four]], as does the player's [[rival]].

Many other characters will exist in various manners: [[non-player character]]s to aid the player, [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to defeat on the road, a [[villainous team]], and perhaps familiar faces.

===Geography===
Within the new region, there will be at least nine cities or towns, connected by [[route]]s. Current trends show that there will be at least one water route, a mountain, [[caves]], and a forest. The route leading up to the Pokémon League has thus far been known as [[Victory Road]].

Each region so far has been [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on a real-life area of Japan]].

===Speculation against future generations===
Naturally, there are fans who do not see future generations as a possibility.

[[Legendary Pokémon]] typically have a backstory that supersedes those of previous generations. As {{p|Arceus}} is thought to be the creator of the [[Pokémon world]], there are few ways to trump its story.

No game console has been announced yet, and no new Pokémon have been revealed. The first Generation IV Pokémon to be revealed, {{TP|May|Munchlax}}, was shown much earlier on during the {{series|Advanced Generation}} than the most recent episodes of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

Generation IV has lasted nearly as long as Generation III, and will have lasted longer than all previous generations if Generation V's debut games are not released before August 6, 2010 in Japan. While Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver were officially announced in May of the year of their September release, Diamond and Pearl were first revealed to be in the works in October of 2004, very nearly two years before their Japanese release.
