Zephy.Changes: /* Other non-Pokémon games for Game Boy Color */ new section

==Games for GBC==

Something is wrong in the Games For GBC section...first of all, Yellow wasn't for GBC, it was for the original. And if this ''is'' supposed to be here, surely Red and Blue should be too. [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Por''']][[User:Porygon-Z/Trade|'''ygo''']][[User:Porygon-Z/Dracofang Gym|'''n-Z''']] 20:20, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I guess it depends on what you think of as the first game... The first five Pokémon games were compatible with the original Game Boy, but Gold and Silver could be put in full color on the GBC. Crystal was compatible only with the GBC, though; the GB couldn't handle it. I think the person who said Yellow was the first game for GBC was thinking of the way the pallet changed from town to town, depending on the name of the town (ie, it was blue in Cerulean City). --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]] 20:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

:By definition, Pokemon Yellow is a GBC game while Red and Blue are not. Martonimos is correct in that Yellow's color is basically limited to changing palettes between routes. This is also unique to the English Yellow; the Japanese Pocket Monsters Yellow is a regular Game Boy game and has no added color features. If anyone needs proof, I can list data from the games' internal headers. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 20:53, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
::Yellow is just a Game Boy game compatible on GBC. Just like PlyStation games on PS2, GBA games on DS, etc. [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Por''']][[User:Porygon-Z/Trade|'''ygo''']][[User:Porygon-Z/Dracofang Gym|'''n-Z''']] 21:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
:::All Game Boy games have an internal file header that denotes specific properties of the program. One of these properties, the Game Boy type, shows which Game Boy it's designed for. The value 80 means "GBC, but can play in older gameboys." The value C0 means "GBC only." Any other value means a regular B&W Game Boy game. Some values for proof:
*Pocket Monsters Green: 00
*Pocket Monsters Red: 00
*Pocket Monsters Blue: 00
*Pokemon Red: 00
*Pokemon Blue: 00
*'''Pocket Monsters Yellow: 00'''
*'''Pokemon Yellow: 80'''
*Pocket Monsters Gold: 80
*Pocket Monsters Silver: 80
*Pokemon Gold: 80
*Pokemon Silver: 80
*Pocket Monsters Crystal: C0
*Pokemon Crystal: C0
:::I hope this is enough for you. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 21:34, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

::::It makes sense to me, but I suggest you mention where you got those values. Statements with a source are much less likely to be disputed. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]] 21:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

::::The values were found by viewing the game ROMs in a hex editor (offset 0143 if anyone's interested). The meaning of the values was garnered from [http://nocash.emubase.de/pandocs.htm#thecartridgeheader] -- see "0143 CGB Flag". [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 21:58, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::Huh... well that's interesting. But here's the question, what about playing Red/Blue on Stadium and Stadium 2? They change colors there and aren't just green player, red world or red player, blue world. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[Image:Ani155MS.gif|Fire echy]]''' 07:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

::::::Hmm. I never knew about that. Regardless, I'd guess it has to do with the fact that the Stadium GB tower was tailor-made to the Pokémon games, designed to play them and them alone. Because they knew what games were going to be played, the programmers of Stadium could set it up so that those games were enhanced slightly--hence, the added colors. Of course, that's just guesswork on my part, so it'd be nice if someone could back me up on it... or else, prove me wrong altogether. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]] 07:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

::::::The color in the Game Boy Tower from Stadium comes from Super Game Boy palettes. The SGB was an add-on to the SNES that could play original GB games, though not GBC-only games like Crystal. Specific games tailor-made for it could have a special border or built-in color. All Pokemon games from Red and Green to Gold and Silver had SGB colors and borders. Crystal did not, because the SGB is based off of GB hardware, not GBC hardware. (The GBC is not and has never been able to take advantage of SGB colors and other features -- Yellow's SGB colors and GBC colors are made to look the same but are otherwise unrelated). [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 15:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
::::::I should add that the Game Boy Tower is also most likely capable of using GBC colors too, as can most emulators. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 15:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

:::::::You are downplaying both the fact that Yellow is officially categorized as a GB game, and the fact that its GBC colors were made to look the same as the SGB colors. Of course, the end result was not identical as could be expected, being less bright on the GBC than on the SGB. There is no coincidence about these two facts; NoA took the time to re-design Yellow for its stateside release so that it would produce the same color richness on the GBC as all Generation I games produce on the SGB. They did so because in the U.S, unlike in Japan, Yellow was to be released after the GBC. However, they did not give the game any sort of makeover that would distinguish gameplay on the GBC, whereas that was exactly what Game Freak was doing to Gold and Silver around the same time.

:::::::Non-Japanese Yellow pivotally differs from Gold and Silver in that it is officially categorized as a GB game and looks ''almost'' the same on the GBC as it does on the SGB. In Gold and Silver's case, only the character sprites look mostly the same on the SGB as they do on the GBC, but the environment is quite visibly different. The truth of the matter is that Yellow deserves to be categorized as a SGB game, as do Red, Green and Blue, but such a category does not exist. Therefore, Bulbapedia should use the official categorizations for all versions, and include more in-depth compatibility details in the trivia section of the system and relevant version's pages. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 14:38, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

::::::::Could you link to a source? Regardless, on a technical level, Yellow ''is'' a GBC game. I do feel that at the least a note of it should be made in the article, as you said. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 00:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::A source for the official categorization? The best one is the [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/2/2b/Pokemon_Yellow_boxart.jpg boxart]. Unfortunately, Nintendo.com and Pokémon.com have removed Yellow from their listing (along with many other games), but this should be sufficient. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 07:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

::::::::::You're absolutely right. More evidence to it being a Game Boy game is the cartridge (which says Game Boy) and the cartridge code, DMG-APSE-*** -- DMG is the Game Boy, while CGB means Game Boy Color and AGB Game Boy Advance. That'll teach me to make assumptions in the future. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 14:30, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::My question is what the hell does DMG mean? CGB is obviously '''C'''olor '''G'''ame '''B'''oy, and AGB is '''A'''dvance '''G'''ame '''B'''oy, and NTR is '''N'''i'''tr'''o... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 16:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

== 1st Appearance ==

When did it first come out in the US? And Europe while we're at it? Wiki says it, but I'm not sure if we'd like to refer to it... [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 01:32, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

== That picture.... ==

Does anwa have a better one wih less glare?[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((曲奇饼妖怪]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]

== Special Editions ==

Other than the first two links for the special edition gameboy colours being dead, i think there's an error.

I own the "Game Boy Color: Pokémon 3rd Anniversary - in White (Japan only)" based on the link (same box, same deisgn, same date). It is not white (neither mine or the one shown at the link) though, and is actually more fitting of the description of "A gold faded to silver GBC that was decorated with Pokémon from the Gold and Silver edition game packs was released in 2001 to celebrate the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, it retailed for $99.99 USD" except that it was released in 1999, not 2001 and was Japanese only as it was a pokemon centre release. I've never heard of a release of this one in the US or elsewhere. :S

Either the link provided for the white one is wrong, and should apply to the gold and silver one (having both a jap and us release), or as i suspect, there never was a white one or a us release of the gold and silver one. --[[User:Zeal|'''Zeal''']] [[User talk:Zeal|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Zeal|C]] 20:12, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I am obsessed with music. I write it, play it and listen to it. Nearly all genres.
My favorite types are Psychic and Steel. My dream team consists of Forretress, Gardevoir, Scizor, Skarmory, Espeon and Alakazam. I play Platinum the most out of my four Pokémon games. I'm much more of a coordinator though, battles really aren't my thing. Contests come much easier to me than breeding and battling and what not.
I joined Bulbapedia so I could help out a bit. It's very, very helpful and I probably would still have 5 badges without it. Often times though I feel as though I have nothing to contribute.

'''Snowpoint City''' (Japanese: '''キッサキシティ''' ''Kissaki City'') is a snow-covered city located at the very north of [[Sinnoh]]. Snowpoint is located in the far north of Sinnoh, where snow blows down from the top of [[Mt. Coronet]] causing low temperatures. Snowpoint City and the three routes that lead to it ({{rt|216}}, {{rt|217}} and [[Acuity Lakefront]]) are also completely covered in snow. To the northeast of Route 217, [[Lake Acuity]] can be found. A cave, which houses {{p|Uxie}}, is located in the middle of Lake Acuity. Being that the snow which affects every battle on the two routes leading to the city, as well as the fact that to get to {{rt|216}} from the rest of Sinnoh one must pass through [[Mt. Coronet]], the most convenient way to get to the city is to {{m|Fly}}. There is a port here, in which the player can access the [[Fight Area]]. Its temple is home to the legendary Pokémon {{p|Regigigas}}. There is also a [[Move Tutor]] in Snowpoint in [[Pokémon Platinum]].

==Places of interest==
===Snowpoint Temple===
{{main|Snowpoint Temple}}
[[Image:Snowpoint_temple.PNG‎|left|thumb|The Snowpoint Temple]]
Although Snowpoint City is not home to much, a noticeable landmark in the area is [[Snowpoint Temple]], which can only be accessed after the Sinnoh [[Elite Four]] have been beaten and the [[National Dex]] has been obtained. The temple contains five floors, with odd bits of slippery ice. At the very bottom of the temple lies a dormant Regigigas. To awaken this legendary Pokémon, the player must bring all three of the [[legendary golems]] along with them, which are all only available in the [[Generation III]] games.

Because of the location of the temple within a city, Regigigas is only the fifth legendary Pokémon that can be caught within city limits, the other four being {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Suicune}} in [[Ecruteak City|Ecruteak]]'s [[Tin Tower]] during [[Generation II]] and {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} in [[Hoenn]]'s [[Cave of Origin]].

===Trendy phrases===
Snowpoint is home to the place where [[Trendy phrase#Generation IV|trendy phrases]] are obtained. Every day, players can go to the farthest house in the northeast and receive a new trendy phrase. A trendy phrase is an additional phrase which can be used in interviews with [[non-player character]]s. It appears in the "Tough Words" category. There are thirty-two different possibilities, all obtainable from an elderly man in the north-easternmost house in [[Snowpoint City]]. Only one may be obtained daily, and receiving a new trendy phrase will not alter any [[:category:game mechanics|game mechanics]]. They typically refer to {{wp|science}}, {{wp|business}} and {{wp|the arts}}.

===In-game trade===
In a house south of the [[Pokémon Center]], a girl will [[list of in-game trades|trade]] a {{p|Haunter}} holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} for a {{p|Medicham}}. The Haunter is nicknamed "''Gaspar''" and the OT is "''Mindy''". The Haunter's ID number is 19248.

===Diamond dust===
[[Image:Diamond Dust Platinum.gif|right|thumb|Diamond dust in Platinum|200px]]
On January 10, 2008, [[Junichi Masuda]] posted a blog entry urging players to play their Diamond or Pearl January 12. On that day, the same day as Masuda's birthday, a [[Weather conditions|weather effect]] called {{wp|diamond dust}} occurred in Snowpoint City, replacing the usual snow. It resembles glitter in the air. It is purely aesthetic, since it only occurs within the city where no battles are possible. It has been determined that other special weather conditions such as thunderstorms happen on predetermined days throughout the year, such as:

* '''April 22''': When in 2007 Diamond and Pearl saw their release in North America.
* '''February 29''': The extra day of the [[wp:Leap Year|leap year]]
* '''March 17''': {{wp|St. Patrick's Day}}
* '''May 1'''
* '''September 2'''
* '''September 20'''
* '''October 30'''

==Snowpoint Gym==
{{main|Snowpoint Gym}}

The '''Snowpoint Gym''' is the official [[gym]] of [[Snowpoint City]]. It is based on {{type2|Ice}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Candice]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{badge|Icicle}}. The Snowpoint City Gym is a Gym consisting of a three-floor ice rink with slides connecting the various floors and snowballs blocking progress through the Gym. To reach the Gym Leader, trainers have to slide around the Gym and destroy the balls of snow blocking the way. For defeating [[Candice]], trainers receive the {{badge|Icicle}}, {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and the ability to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle.

==Demographics==
The population of Snowpoint is 14, which makes it the smallest city of Sinnoh to have a [[Gym]].

==Trivia==
* Snowpoint's Japanese motto is {{tt|こおりきらめくゆきのまち|The city of snow where ice glitters}}.
* Snowpoint is geographically the northernmost city in the known [[Pokémon world]].
* Snowpoint is the only city/town that does not connect directly to a route; before reaching a route one must pass through [[Acuity Lakefront]] first.
* Because of the snow, Snowpoint is one of two towns where bicycles cannot be ridden, though the only one in Sinnoh. The other is [[Pacifidlog Town]] in [[Hoenn]].
* Snowpoint is the hometown of {{an|Dawn}}'s rival, [[Zoey]].

Knock it off, you two. ArcToraphim knows more about shipping, and I admit that I know absolutely nothing, so leave the misspelling. However, should I delete BrunetteShipping, since it refers to something totally different and doesn't have an article? --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 17:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

It has an article, so NO--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 17:16, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Brunetteshipping should be a redirect, as should Shellshipping, I suppose. It goes against my better nature since they're both claimed, but neither will be getting any articles any time soon. [[User:ArcToraphim|ArcToraphim]] 17:23, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

:ShellShipping I'll keep as a redirect. BrunetteShipping, however, should be deleted, since there's no connection between BrunettShipping and BrunetteShipping besides the similar names. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 17:30, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
::Point taken, but at the same time, you did make the point about the common use of Brunetteshipping on Google. .....I just don't want to keep going through these arguments between people, and if this is what I get for something not many people support, imagine what's going to happen once I find the strength to do something about Farawayshipping (which should be Outcry, but Faraway's in much more use). I'm too old and settled for the crap.
::In the short run, Delia/Jasmine will never get an article, for obvious reasons. If it's possible to create a disambig that states Brunette is Delia/Jasmine and commonly mistaken for Gary/May, please go here for article, that I can live with.

That site will have better quality pictures too. hope you find this helpful.--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 17:07, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not getting into arms. I just don't like it when people come onto me and claim I don't know what I'm talking about, as my talk page clearly demonstrates (who wouldn't keep getting into arms when the only time they bother to message me is when they get defensive and say "How dare you?!").

F.E.A.R.

2009-02-20T00:13:45Z

Zephy.Changes: /* How to use F.E.A.R. */

'''F.E.A.R.''' is a widely-known strategy used in competitive battling, often used as a last resort. A Pokémon with the ability to have the moveset below is called a '''F.E.A.R. Pokémon'''. This Pokémon is capable of defeating a full-HP opponent at virtually any level (most notably L.100) while itself is only at Lv.1 or 2. The most common Pokémon used for this strategy is a {{p|Rattata}}.
F.E.A.R. generally stands for:
*Focus Sash
*{{m|Endeavor}}
*Attack ({{m|Quick Attack}})
*{{p|Rattata}}

The original term, coined by strategists as humor, was "'''F'''***ing '''E'''vil '''A'''nnoying '''R'''odent".

The strategy (and original profanity-laden term) was originally conceived on GameFAQs' ''Pokémon Diamond'' [http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/gentopic.php?board=925601 message board] in early 2007.

==How to use F.E.A.R.==
After one of the player's Pokémon faints, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can be sent out against an opponent's Pokémon with (preferably) full HP (though other situations will work, albeit possibly not as well). During the first turn, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will use Endeavor, and the opponent will most likely use an offensive attack to try to defeat the F.E.A.R. Pokémon (assuming, of course, that the opponent isn't aware of this strategy). The F.E.A.R. Pokémon would indeed faint, if it were not holding the Focus Sash, which allows the user to hold on to 1 HP after a hit which would otherwise knock it out from max-HP. When the Pokémon uses Endeavor, the HP of the opponent's Pokémon will equal the HP of it's own (which is now, assuming Focus Slash triggered, equal to 1). During the following turn, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can use Quick Attack to wipe out the remaining 1 HP of the opponent's Pokémon. Obviously, this strategy works only once per battle, seeing as Focus Sash will not work twice.

==Countering F.E.A.R.==
While an impressive strategy, F.E.A.R. is very widespread, making it next to useless, as many teams are able to counter it and players are aware of how it works and how to stop it from working. The following are six ways to counter the F.E.A.R. strategy:
* Knowledge: The simplest strategy and perhaps the most effective. If the opponent knows the F.E.A.R. strategy, they won't attack as needed for it to work (a damaging move), or they will switch out for a Pokémon immune to it or easily able to counter it. Besides the other three counters listed here, a player could switch out after the opponent's F.E.A.R. uses Endeavor, leaving it with 1 HP and another Pokémon to sweep the F.E.A.R. However, if the F.E.A.R.-using player predicts correctly, this problem can be solved using Pursuit.
* [[Ghost (type)|Ghost-types]]: As Ghost-types are immune to [[Normal (type)|Normal]]- and [[Fighting (type)|Fighting-type]] attacks, Endeavor and Quick Attack are useless against them. It should be noted however, that a F.E.A.R. {{p|Kangaskhan}} with {{a|Scrappy}} will still be able to use Endeavor against a Ghost-type Pokémon.
* A Pokémon with {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Sucker Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, or other automatic, first-hit effects: If the opponent uses an increased-priority move at the same time as the F.E.A.R. Pokémon does, the large difference in level will almost always result in the opponent's Pokémon landing the hit first, leaving your opponent with little HP, but leaving the F.E.A.R. player with one Pokémon down.
*A move that damages foes upon switching in (like {{M|Spikes}} or {{M|Stealth Rock}}) can cancel out the Focus Sash effect, thus causing the foe to be unable to withstand a one-hit KO. This only works if the F.E.A.R. Pokémon isn't released prior to that move.
*Moves, abilities, and statuses that deal damage every turn (like {{M|Sandstorm}} or [[Status ailment#Burn|Burn]]) can cancel out Focus Sash's effect. This can also work without using a turn if a Pokémon like {{P|Tyranitar}}, {{P|Hippowdon}}, or {{P|Abomasnow}} activate their abilities. (Note that F.E.A.R. Phanpy are immune to Sandstorm.)
*{{m|Embargo}} prevents the foe from using any item, in this case Focus Sash.
* [[In-battle effect item#Leftovers|Leftovers]] return some HP to the users Pokémon, and more than likely, more than the opposing F.E.A.R. can deal with its increased-priority move.
*F.E.A.R.: Ironically, a way to combat a F.E.A.R. Pokémon is having it face another F.E.A.R. Pokémon (or some other low-level Pokémon). Having roughly the same HP, both F.E.A.R.s would do little damage towards each other. It isn't, however, practical or useful to carry a F.E.A.R. Pokémon just for the sake of combating another F.E.A.R., as both Pokémon are about evenly-matched.

Slow down on editing the <code>User:</code> namespace. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again.

:First of all, it's against the rules to rapidly edit the <code>User:</code> namespace. Try to limit yourself to three times per page per day. Violating the rules will obviously get you in trouble, and maybe even blocked. Secondly, asking for help on your own talk page is not going to get answers anytime soon, since nobody gets a notice. If you ask for help on other people's talk pages, namely sysops or senior members, then they'll get a notice and will be there to assist you when they can. Finally, it would be better to understand you if you use proper English, meaning spell correctly, use correct grammar and punctuation, etc. - [[User talk:SpontaneousCombusken|s.]][[User:SpontaneousCombusken|'''Combusken''']] 21:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

:1.) Apparently, [[Archaic]] is the head of Bulbagarden right now, so it should be him.
:2.) Copied it from {{si|Kenny}}'s page.
:3.) Like I said, it would be easier to understand if you used correct spelling and such.

== About Adaptability ==

I know it's an encyclopaedia, so surely the more information the better? I merely added a few facts about Adaptability, so if someone looked up adaptability they might think "Oh, that's handy" and be better off because of it. What negative could possibly come from what I wrote? I thought in an encyclopaedia, the more information the better, as long as its correct (and that was correct information). How can extra, true information be so bad as to delete it? What good will come from that?

And, I would have thought we'd WANT people to have a reason to come here. People can see Adaptability and the Pokemon that learn it on 50 other sites on the internet, including the most popular ones. So wouldn't you rather give reasons for people to come HERE? Anyone can see Adaptability's effect on any established Pokemon site, but not many sites also give useful hints about how it can be used. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] ([[User talk:Mr. Black|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Black|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''
:Okay, first of all, you're about 8 days late.

:Secondly, if you haven't noticed at all, the 'pedia, from what I have seen, does not have anything about Wi-Fi Battling and all that junk. Even the tier list is not updated, and it doesn't even "meet the quality standards of Bulbapedia" either. If an article starts rambling on about "Choice Band Eevee" and "Life Orb Porygon-Z," chances are the reader will have to move on to a different site to go and find out more, which would be irritating. So then we'd either have to create and/or edit many pages to keep all the information at one website, and that would take a long time if we don't copy others' analyses, and even then not everybody would find the information useful, because they don't even care about competitive battling.

:I mean, Bulbagarden's already affiliated to Smogon, so I think it's better to keep it simple. If you have any problems about it, go talk to one of the SysOps. I'm just another regular user, keeping the 'pedia consistent. - [[User talk:SpontaneousCombusken|s.]][[User:SpontaneousCombusken|'''Combusken''']] 03:20, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

::And, the more true information is not always the better. The following example may be true, but it should not be on [[Brock]]'s page: "Brock is the only rock-type gym leader in Kanto to be male." That may be true, but it does not go on trivia because of how dumb and limited it is. ''[[User:Moldy orange|'''Moldy''']][[User talk:Moldy orange|'''Orange''']]'' 03:26, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

But the comments on the talk page aren't yours, you can't edit that. ;) The welcome template isn't automatically generated, though.

Its stock audio, they've used it multiple times. The most recent is in Ghoul Days but its mew's cries from Pokémon the first movie. And what about the other two Trivias? whats wrong with those?

What about the

*She also has some similar traits as the younger Sabrina Ash and his friends encountered in Kanto.

that's opinion.

or

*In one scene, Ash mentioned to Pikachu to just count to ten when a Haunter grabbed Shinx's tail. This could refer to a Japanese myth about a ghost who is unable to count to ten, then suddenly disappears. it being based on japanese myth sounds like speculation.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Emerald}}
'''Pokémon Emerald Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　エメラルド''' ''Pocket Monsters Emerald'') is a sister game to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and is the fifth and final [[Generation III]] [[main series]] game. Like its predecessor, {{game|Crystal}}, it added many features not present in the earlier paired versions.

It was the second highest selling video game of 2005 in North America. It was also the third best-selling game for the [[Game Boy Advance]], losing to its two predecessors, {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

== Changes from Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire ==

=== Aesthetic changes ===
* {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} have slight outfit changes.
* {{p|Vigoroth}} are in place of {{p|Machoke}} moving boxes into Brendan's or May's house, while {{p|Zigzagoon}} is in place of {{p|Poochyena}} chasing [[Professor Birch]]. Similarly, the first {{g|Trainer}} fought aside from the [[rival]] has a Poochyena.
* Pokémon are animated in battle.
* The [[legendary Pokémon]] battle intros include a different animation before moving into the battle scene. This animation involves, for the [[weather trio]], their body pattern, or for the [[legendary golems]], their eye pattern.

=== Storyline changes ===
* Both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] are featured as the villainous teams, each stirring trouble at different stages in the game. The objective of each team, to awaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively, is eventually fulfilled.
* {{p|Rayquaza}} is prominent plot-wise, awakened in order to stop the destructive battle between Groudon and Kyogre. It is the one out of the four ancient Pokémon that can be captured prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge, while still at the same place and on the same high level as in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

=== Gameplay changes ===
* Groudon and Kyogre are captured at new locations and on higher levels.
* The fleeing Pokémon across [[Hoenn]], {{p|Latias}} or {{p|Latios}}, can be selected right after beating the Elite Four. The one that is not selected is available on [[Southern Island]], requiring the promotional [[Eon Ticket]].
* The Regis' puzzle is somewhat different, though the same in principle.
* Wireless linking with [[Union Room]], as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Wireless mini-games added to [[Mossdeep City]], as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Tag battles are available outside link-cable battling. Featured in the Battle Tower with a computer player (or, using the Wireless Adapter, a human player), as well as at the [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] stage of the game, battling alongside [[Steven Stone|Steven]].
* [[Double battle]]s are more common as different Trainers can team up.
* [[Gym Leader]]s may be rebattled in Double battles, with new Pokémon on their teams that are not regularly found in Hoenn.
* The Trainer's Eyes is replaced by Match Call, which integrated a calling system similar to the [[PokéGear]] cellphone.
* {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} may be acquired from Professor Birch after catching every Pokémon in the [[Hoenn Dex]].
* {{p|Deoxys}} is in its Speed Forme.
* New map effects for abilities.
* New item list for {{a|Pickup}}; Pokémon picks up item based on Pokémon's [[level]].
* [[Abilities]] have a role in breeding as {{a|Magma Armor}} and {{a|Flame Body}} hurry up the hatching process if a Pokémon which has them is in the party.
* Passing-down [[natures]] with {{evostone|Everstone}} when breeding Pokémon.
* Raise [[happiness]] and lower [[effort values]] with certain berries.
* The [[Mystery Gift]] option of the [[Wireless Adapter]] primarily replaces the [[Mystery Events]] option of the [[e-Reader]]. The [[Enigma Berry]] is thus obtained through Mystery Gift, unlike in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Mystery Events are absent from the English version of the game.
* Pokémon Contests are all held in [[Lilycove City]].

=== Character changes ===
* [[Contest Lady]], [[Quiz Lady]], or [[Favor Lady]] in Lilycove Pokémon Center.
* New [[move tutor]]s added, including most of the ones in Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen (all but {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}), along with 15 others that teach moves previously acquired through [[Generation II]] [[TM]]s.
* A new Gym Leader in the Sootopolis Gym, [[Juan]].
* A new Pokémon Champion, [[Wallace]].
* [[Steven Stone|Steven]] appears in [[Meteor Falls]] after the Elite Four challenge, with all of his Pokémon at exactly 20 levels higher than in Ruby and Sapphire.
* [[Scott]], a new character introduced in Emerald, will meet the player numerous times throughout the game, ultimately inviting the player to the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}.

=== Area additions ===
* The fossils ([[Root Fossil]], [[Claw Fossil]]) in the desert are now found in a short-lived tower called [[Mirage Tower]] that sinks into the ground once a fossil is chosen. However, the other fossil can now be acquired after the Elite Four challenge.
* {{pkmn|Battle Tent}}s replace {{g|Contest}} Halls in [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Fallarbor Town]] and [[Slateport City]].
* A new battle area, [[Trainer Hill]], which is similar to [[Trainer Tower]] found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Features [[e-Reader]] compatibility in the Japanese version.
* Another new battle area, the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, an expansion of the existing Battle Tower.
* New areas within the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and [[Desert Underpass]], introducing 17 Pokémon native to [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]].
* [[Terra Cave]] and [[Marine Cave]], accessible only after defeating Elite Four, are home to Groudon and Kyogre, respectively. The caves are not fixed to one location, and in order to track them it is necessary to investigate the unusual patterns concluded by the [[Weather Institute]].
* [[Navel Rock]], where {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} appear, as well as [[Birth Island]], where Deoxys appears, can be reached in the same way as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* {{p|Mew}} appears on [[Faraway Island]], an island that is located remote from Hoenn. Reaching the island requires a special promotional item, the [[Old Sea Map]].
* [[Altering Cave]] added, as in the one found in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Wireless minigame house added to [[Mossdeep City]], as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Utilizing GameShark, players can find hidden music in the games, including music originally used in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

=== Missing Pokémon ===
These [[Hoenn Dex]] Pokémon are missing from Emerald and must be traded to the game from another Generation III game.

=== Broken PRNG ===
* The game uses a faulty implementation of the pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), which allows literally identical random numbers even after multiple resets. The game neglects to reseed the PRNG on startup, which means that the random numbers follow a predictable sequence once the seed is found and/or forced. See [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23986 this article] for more detailed info.

=== Emerald cloning glitch ===
* Like previous games, Emerald has a {{pkmn|cloning}} glitch that allows players to make multiple copies of Pokémon and items only available once.

==Reception==
Most reviews criticized Emerald for being too similar to Ruby and Sapphire, with Game Informer stating that "there simply aren't enough changes to make this a must-buy", [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/pokemonemerald?q=pokemon 1]. However, in its own right it was praised as being "the best Pokémon RPG to date" [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/pokemonemerald?q=pokemon 2]. Emerald received an average score of 76% on [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/pokemonemerald?q=pokemon Metacritic], the lowest average score on the site for a main series Pokémon title.

== Trivia ==
* Interestingly, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} appear in [[Fiore]] after [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|the game's]] ending. The two seem to have been hurt in a battle, which could have taken place in [[Hoenn]].
* Pokémon Emerald, along with Ruby and Sapphire, are the same colors as Green, Red, and Blue, the first generation games.

:::You can use <code><nowiki></nowiki></code> to make things smaller, and <code><nowiki></nowiki></code> will underline. There's also the option to use <code><nowiki></nowiki></code> to change font size too (the number there adjusts the size), but do note, that's disallowed for signatures, as making the text any bigger would disrupt line spacing. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 04:55, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

CoolPikachu! told me you were the one to go to for help with signatures.
I need the very basics.
I just want a signature with a few colours, bold or italics and have the start of my name link to my userpage and the end link to my talk page.
Explain in simple terms please as I am pretty bad at HTML.
Thank you!

== Synopsis ==
{{synopsis cleanup}}
May and Harley are about to face each other in the first battle round, Beautifly and Bulbasaur against Cacturne and Banette. Harley goes first with Banette’s Screech and Cacturne’s Bullet Seed, which throws both May’s Pokémon off guard and losing about 20 points. Bulbasaur then uses Vine Whip, Cacturne and Banette both try to dodge it, but Bulbasaur is quick and catches them both by the leg. While they’re both immobile, Beautifly does damage with Silver Wind as well. After that, Bulbasaur throws them both, sending them spinning in circles while Beautifly uses yet another Silver Wind. When they slow down, they wind up confused, and Harley lost a little more than half of the entire point bar. Bulbasaur then goes for another Vine Whip, but Banette quickly counters with Torment, not allowing it to repeat its move. Bulbasaur backs off, withdrawing its vines. Cacturne then goes for a Pin Missile, but May has Beautifly quickly sweep down and lift Bulbasaur out of the way. However, Banette’s Will-O’-Wisp easily gets them losing May almost half her point bar as well. However, while Beautifly does a Petal Dance on Bulbasaur, it somehow pops all of Banette’s blue flames from its last attack! Vivian and the crowd are pretty impressed with her strategy. As Harley is gradually losing bits of his bar, he tries a last-effort Pin Missile from Cacturne, but fails. Finally, with Bulbasaur still on Beautifly, they use a combo of Silver Wind and Razor Leaf, knocking both opponents out at 1:57 seconds. This round goes to May.

Harley angrily leaves the hall, sulks into the dressing room and pretends not to notice Drew. But Drew can’t help but comment on Harley getting what he deserved, and that he’s actually going to beat May without having a dirty reputation.

Team Rocket are planning their next scheme again, so they use James’ laptop to look up the top coordinator. Sure enough, the closest they could find is Robert, who according to the database has Milotic and Claydol. Then suddenly they see Robert walk out of the hall. Meowth quickly fires his net, but Robert is quick and stops it with his bare hands. Just then, Ash comes out of the door with Pikachu and Snorunt, ready for training. Noticing Team Rocket and the net, he orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt to break the net. As Team Rocket say their motto, they also complement Robert on his Milotic, but he just laughs knowing what they’re up to. As Team Rocket sends out Cacnea and Dustox, Ash decides to finally put Snorunt’s Ice Beam to use. However, it barely comes out. Robert then points out to Ash that Snorunt’s just having a bit of energy shortage from training from the looks of it, so it’s possible that’s why it’s having trouble. Then, Robert goes up and gives Snorunt a bit of consoling about controlling it’s Ice Beam with Ash and Pikachu’s support as well and Meowth’s mockery. Cacnea and Dustox then use Pin Missile and Psybeam which are just about to hit Pikachu, but Snorunt pushes him out of the way and takes the hits instead! Amidst all the smoke and dust from the attack, Snorunt begins to glow and evolves into Glalie! Robert congratulates Ash, and Team Rocket look threatened by Glalie’s angry look. Finally, Robert gives Ash the advice that Glalie are known to be well coordinated, and should have no problem controlling attacks. With that, Ash has Glalie use Ice Beam sending Team Rocket off in a block of ice. Ash hugs Glalie, and thanks Robert for all his help.

Now May is up against Anthony, and there are 30 seconds left in the battle. May has half her points left, while Anthony has about 30%, and it’s Bulbasaur and Combusken against Swalot and Pinsir. Combusken tries to Peck Swalot, but Pinsir (who was hiding UNDER Swalot) gets out and uses its claws to shut Combusken’s beak. But before anyone could make another move, time runs out and since May has more points left, the round is hers.

Back in the room, Anthony congratulates May and thanks Ash and co for helping him with his previous problem. There are about 8 trainers left now and to May’s luck, she’s placed against Drew for the quarterfinals! Everyone’s shocked, but she’d have had to face him eventually.

This time May uses Combusken and Skitty, while Drew uses Roselia and Flygon! Everyone’s surprised because they never knew him to have a Flygon, but Drew says he was saving it specifically for contests, and especially for ''this'' battle. As Vivian signals the start, Roselia uses Petal Dance having Flygon zoom through it. May decides to try her luck with Skitty’s Assist and uses Fire Spin! This stops the petals, and distracts Flygon for a bit as well. While Flygon is still airborne, Combusken goes for a Sky Uppercut but Flygon is pretty fast and dodges. With that, Combusken falls over, right on Skitty, with Flygon hovering over them both! Flygon then uses Flamethrower and Roselia uses Solar Beam. As the attacks close in on May’s Pokémon, Ash yells to May to have them dodge it, but instead she has Combusken counter with Fire Spin which cancels both attacks! Both May and Drew lose points, but Drew loses a bit more. May then tries another one of Combusken’s Fire Spins, but Flygon counters with Sandstorm. During the confusion, Skitty aims at Roselia with Blizzard. However, the Sandstorm hits, and Drew uses the same trick May used. Flygon sweeps down and grabs Roselia, taking it out of the way. May’s side takes a lot of damage, now left with about 40%. Only one minute is left...

Skitty’s Assist this time sends a Vine Whip, which Roselia and Flygon easily dodge. However, she can still make use of it. Having Combusken jump really high, Skitty holds out the vines, and Combusken jumps from the tip right at Flygon! However, back on the ground Roselia tries to distract them with Magical Leaf, but Skitty stops them with Blizzard. Flygon then tries to stop the Blizzard with Flamethrower, but Combusken, still in the air, takes the fire and heads towards Flygon. Engulfed in flames, Combusken goes for a fiery Tackle, hitting Flygon square-on! This stunt gets a lot of attention from the crowd, and even Norman at home. Drew takes a bit more damage. But, it’s not over yet. Combusken and Skitty then use Quick Attack and Tackle, since Drew’s Pokémon have just taken a bit of damage but Roselia stops them both with Stun Spore. While paralyzed, Flygon hits them both with Steel Wing and just as the clock runs out, May has also ran out of points. This round is Drew’s.

May sighs, now that it’s over but she is relieved to have made it this far, and everyone else is proud of her. It was a pretty intense battle and Top 8 is pretty impressive for a coordinator's first festival. However, Harley is really embarrassed and jealous and sulking in a corner, that after all his scheming carefully to beat May and failing, Drew beat her just like that. Hopefully he learned from that. May then roots for Drew for the time being.

Drew is now in the final round, facing Robert’s Milotic and Claydol, using Flygon and Masquerain. Robert has about 60% left and Drew barely has 10%, and there are just 30 seconds left in the battle. Milotic sends a Twister at them, and before they can to anything Claydol pops out from the Twister and uses Hyper Beam. Finally, Milotic attacks them both with Iron Tail. Flygon and Masquerain both fall, and the battle as well as the Festival goes to Robert.

Confetti fills the stage, the crowd cheers as Vivian awards Robert the cup. May is a little disappointed that Drew lost, but at least he got pretty far as well. Plus, who knows she would have been against Robert. Anyway, to end the festival, Vivian announces a conclusion party in the evening.

May’s enjoying herself later that evening, but then notices in the distance something that looks a bit like fireworks. Then she turns around, and notices Drew outside the area, training with Roselia and Masquerain. She’s a little surprised that he’s not participating, but apparently he’d rather be training. Robert is really an experienced Coordinator and Drew wants to compete in next year’s festival as well. He knows Robert will be there, since he’s there every year and his current challenge is to beat Robert. In fact, he did meet him back at the Slateport Contest Hall. Robert has been the undefeated top Coordinator for years now, and now Drew wants that position. May stands there for a moment as Drew walks off, thinking to herself but then Ash and friends interrupt this moment.

They then notice Drew in the distance, and ask if she knows what he’s up to. As her mom comments that this was a cozy moment, May gets a little embarrassed and blushes. She then says that she definitely wants to try for the Grand Festival again next year. She’s found her ambition, and that is to be the top Coordinator. Her mother and friends all wish her luck then Caroline remembers Ash and also wishes him luck. That’s right, it’s time to head over to Ever Grande City for the Hoenn League!

Jet? I've heard it pronounced Pid-gee-aught and Pid-jit, (And Pi-gee-aught and Pi-jit, for that matter) but never anything resembling jet from anyone. --[[User:Birdboy2000|Birdboy2000]]

You should add your name after writing something in a talk, birdboy.
I have also never heard someone ever pronouncing it "jet" o.O --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]]

I've only heard it called ''Pid gee ot'' Never heard it with Jet either. [[user:Xanhawk|Xanhawk]]

I've always pronounced it Pid-jet.
I think every Pokémon page should really have pronounciations.
I would be willing to contribute some as it them in one of my Pokémon books.
Anyone else think that this is a good idea?
Before I got the book I thought that Ratls was pronounced ratless. :P

Aren't the tags hanging from its head from a Japanese festival?

The New Year's Festival, IIRC. Not sure if it has a name, but don't they place wishing tags on trees in the hopes that the wishes written on them come true? [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 08:09, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, that's it.

Excuse me, but do you mind that Jirachi's entry says that it's similiar to the Beanstar from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga? I know the idea might be farfected, but it's a possiblity.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 06:45, 6 September 2005 (CDT)

==Obtainable==
Should it be noted that Jirachi is obtainable via a special Pokemon Colosseum preview disk that came with Jirachi: Wish Maker? That's how I got my jirachi, a few years back. -- [[Image:Ani157MS.gif]][[User:Bug Catcher Jam|Chris]][[Image:Ani465MS.gif]] 03:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you get the Bonus Disc if you pre-ordered ''Colosseum''. I didn't pre-order, and I wanted a Jirachi so bad those four years ago. [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 02:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:At the time, my then girlfriend had the disk and gave me one. Still have it, in my Diamond PC.

Is it really nessecary to mention Jirachi can learn some Grass and Electric type moves?

"The most spectacular behavior of the Charizard occurs during the breeding season. In the wild, a male in control of a territory will send blasts of fire-breath into the sky. This is a signal to females and rivals alike that the resident male is fit, strong, and confident enough to use his fire for a mere display. When a felmale accepts the male, the two fly high into the sky, lock talons and plummet into a dizzying dive. They break apart only a few meters from the ground, combining the passion of mating with the thrill of freefall. After the female lays her eggs, the two parents take turns guarding them and keeping them warm with their flame."

'''Slakoth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナマケロ''' ''Namakero'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Vigoroth}} starting at [[level]] 18, who evolves into {{p|Slaking}} starting at [[level]] 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Slakoth are brown mammalian Pokémon with shaggy coarse fur and brown stripes on its back. It has long arms with sharp claws which it uses to hang from trees. It is extremely slow. It resembles a sloth.

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

====Special abilities====
Slakoth's heartbeat is unique as it only beats once a minute, and it can sleep for 20+ hours a day. Slakoth also has the unique ability of making those whom see it {{m2|Yawn|sleepy}}.

===Behavior===
Slakoth will spend its whole life in the same tree. However, Slakoth are known for being good swimmers, traveling far during floods to reach a new tree. A potential predator will often find that Slakoth isn't as easy to catch as they may think. If it senses danger, Slakoth will dig into its branch with its sharp claws and lock its muscles into place, making it almost impossible to pry off, even for the strongest carnivores.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Slakoth are often found living in forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Slakoth's daily diet usually consists of all of three leaves.

==In the anime==
[[Norman]]'s Slakoth appeared in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'' and also in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'' where it battled [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Ash's Torkoal]]. It proved to be a strong battler against {{AP|Pikachu}} with its powerful {{m|Blizzard}} attack but it lost to {{AP|Torkoal}}.

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', there were many Slakoth who lived in the Slakoth Banana Garden. A {{p|Snorlax}} was eating all the bananas in the garden and no one was able to stop it untill one of the Slakoths in the garden evolved into {{p|Vigoroth}} and defeated it.

A Slakoth appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

==In the manga==
==In the TCG==
{{main|Slakoth (TCG)}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Clyde]] uses a Slakoth to back up his {{p|Slaking}}.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Slakoth and {{p|Slowpoke}} are the members of Team Slacker, the zero-motivation exploration team.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

|sapphiredex=Slakoth's heart beats just once a minute. Whatever happens, it is content to {{m2|Slack Off|loaf around}} motionless. It is rare to see this Pokémon in motion.
|emeralddex=It {{m2|Rest|sleeps}} virtually all day and night long. It doesn't change its nest its entire life, but it sometimes travels great distances by swimming in rivers.
|firereddex=It sleeps for 20 hours every day. {{m2|Yawn|Making drowsy}} those that see it is one of its abilities.
|leafgreendex=It sleeps for 20 hours every day. Making drowsy those that see it is one of its abilities.

==Trivia==
*Slakoth is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister (Sinnoh)|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
*There are few differences between Slakoth's front sprite from Generation III and Slakoth's front sprite from Generation IV.
===Origin===
It appears to have been based on sloths.

====Name origin====
Slakoth's name is a combination of ''slack'', meaning to be lazy, and ''{{wp|sloth}}''. Its Japanese name is based on 樹懶 ''namakemono'', sloth. It is also a play on the slang phrase "to slack off".

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Bummelz
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Parecool - From ''paresseux'' (sloth) and ''cool''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 게을로 ''Ge'eullo''

I'm gonna be stuck in Florida for about a week starting today, so I likely will have much less of a chance to do anything around here until next year begins.

{{u|Politoed666|Poli}}, {{u|MAGNEDETH|Deth}}, {{u|Kogoro|Kogs}}, and {{u|evkl}}, you're all in charge of <s>getting a flooded talk page</s> questions from Bulbapedia's users for a week or so.

Anyway, I'll just leave a countdown here to my estimated return... which is on January 1, at midnight.

Have a good new year, guys, and enjoy that extra {{wp|leap second}} we're getting! '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:18, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

::Well, depends on what you mean. If it's about me, specifically, I only edit userpages very often because I'm often doing a project I wanna keep outta the mainspace so far.

Now, if new users see an edit marked as minor that adds a lot of bytes to a page, and sees one not marked as minor that adds a lot of bytes to a page, it could confuse them.

I can think of the following to be move-protected as well: Items, Poké balls, Pokémon disambiguation pages, and the game articles. --[[User:Bulbapedian|Bulbapedian]] - [[User talk:Bulbapedian|Talk]] 23:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

== Really minor name change request ==

Before I go, I want to change my name to PH1R'''E'''STRIKE. The 3 makes "PH1R3" look too much like "Ph34r", and I don't want people thinking I have any relation to them. [[User:PH1R3STRIKE|PH1R3STRIKE]] 20:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

== Reminder to change username ==

Just to remind you to change my username to Satoshi, in case it's available. [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 22:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

ht14 made me relaize that since Castform's alternate sprites are never actually released from Balls, they wouldn't have any animated sprites.

== Wanted Pages and Images ==

I was browsing the list of Wanted Pages to see if there was any I could kill, and noticed a lot of images. In each case, the issue is with the images being linked to on talk pages like <code><nowiki>[[:Image:000.png]]</nowiki></code> as opposed to <code><nowiki>[[a:Image:000.png]]</nowiki></code>, which is how {{template|img}} deals with them. Mind going through and changing them so they drop off the list? I'd do it myself but most pages are protected anyway.

== Username Change ==

Archaic told me you were the one to talk to about username changes.
My friend is no longer able to use this account so I was wondering if I could simplify things and call it Zephy.Changes?
That's is the name of my other accounts on everything and that way my computer only has to remember one username and password.
Thank you.

'''Slaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケッキング''' ''Kekking'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vigoroth}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Slaking are large, brown ape like Pokémon. They have a white collar of fur around their necks.

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

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Slaking are the laziest of all Pokémon. They spend most of their time lying in grassy fields to eat barely doing anything; however, when threatened, they will suddenly get up and strike with great power. If the grass they've eaten around them is gone, they move to a new spot with more grass.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Slaking usually eat grass that is in reach of them. Slaking also eat fruit, but they just wait until the fruits fall down from the trees instead just climbing up and picking them.

==In the anime==
[[Image:SlakingRobot.jpg|right|thumb|[[Team Rocket|Team Rocket's]] Slaking robot]]
{{TP|Norman|Slaking}} appears in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', belonging to {{an|May}}'s father, [[Norman]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Petalburg City]].

In [[AG070|the following episode]], [[Ash's Grovyle]] defeats it in battle, winning {{Ash}} the [[Badge#Balancebadge|Balance Badge]].

A giant Slaking appears in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', but it was really a robot controlled by [[Team Rocket]].

[[Norman]]'s Slaking appeared in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' watching the [[Wallace Cup]] on television with Norman.

==In the manga==
In the manga, [[Norman]]'s signature Pokémon is a Slaking, just as in the anime and games.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Clyde]] uses a Slaking in his attempts to stop the player.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=normal
|gen=3
|rubydex=Slaking spends all day lying down and lolling about. It eats grass growing within its reach. If it eats all the grass it can reach, this Pokémon reluctantly moves to another spot.
|sapphiredex=Wherever Slaking lives, rings of over a yard in diameter appear in grassy fields. They are made by the Pokémon as it eats all the grass within reach while lying prone on the ground.
|emeralddex=Hordes of Slaking gather around trees when fruits come into season. They wait around patiently for ripened fruits to fall out of the trees.
|firereddex=It is the world's most slothful Pokémon. However, it can exert horrifying power by releasing pent-up energy all at once.
|leafgreendex=It is the world's most slothful Pokémon. However, it can exert horrifying power by releasing pent-up energy all at once.
|diamonddex=The world's laziest Pokémon. When it is {{a2|Truant|lounging}}, it is actually saving energy for striking back.
|pearldex=The world's laziest Pokémon. When it is {{a2|Truant|lounging}}, it is actually saving energy for striking back.

==Trivia==
*Slaking has the fifth highest attack of any Pokémon in any game. It is tied with {{p|Regigigas}} and is surpassed by {{p|Rampardos}}, {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Deoxys}}'s [[Form differences#Deoxys|Attack Forme]] and {{p|Marowak}} (only when holding the [[Thick Club]]).
*Slaking has the highest base stat average of any non-legendary Pokémon, though its ability significantly ruins its potential for inexperienced players.
*Although Slaking is said to slack off like {{p|Slakoth}}, it gains higher a higher speed stat upon evolving from {{p|Vigoroth}}, but its ability makes it defeats the purpose.
*In double battles, Slaking's Truant ability can easily be nullified using {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}}. Several trainers in {{game|Emerald}} use this power, including [[Norman]] during the player's rematches with him. Without Truant, Slaking can make full use of its impressive stats.

===Origin===
It appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s and some form of {{wp|ape}}. The inspiration from sloths makes it somewhat resemble a Megatherium, also known as the Giant Ground Sloth, however, it more closely resembles a gorilla.
====Name origin====
Slaking's name is a combination of ''slake'', meaning to slacken, and ''king'', and/or possibly just the word slacking. Its Japanese name is a combination of 怠ける ''namakeru'', to be idle, or 怠け者 ''namakemono'', sloth, and ''king''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Letarking
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Monaflemit - From ''monarch'' and ''flemme'' (slacking off).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 게을킹 ''Ge-eulking''

'''Snorlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カビゴン''' ''Kabigon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Munchlax}} via [[Happiness#Evolutions|Happiness]].

In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations throughout [[Kanto]]. In order to catch one, a trainer must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or [[PokéGear]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Snorlax's body is composed of mostly its belly, as it only wakes up to eat and seldom exercises. Its head is also big, and it has two pointed teeth sticking out. Its feet are extremely big compared to most Pokémon, so as to provide balance. Its arms are short, however, they are long enough for Snorlax to reach out, grab its lunch and put it in its mouth. Snorlax's big belly provides huge amounts of defense, thus, not many predators bother hunting it. It is dark blue in colour.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===

When trained and exercised properly, Snorlax can gain supreme strength and ability.

===Behavior===
Snorlax spend the majority of their time sleeping, surviving off of their stored up fat. Many Snorlax only awaken once a month, and that is so they can find more food. A hungry Snorlax isn't satisfied until it consumes 900 pounds of food, and then it goes back to sleep. If one ever sees a sleeping Snorlax, he or she should not wake it up, because these Pokémon become very grumpy if their peaceful dreams become interrupted. Several {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon using {{m|Dream Eater}} find this out the hard way.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Snorlax are often in mountains and forests. However, they sometimes wander into towns and streets and sleep there.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Snorlax will eat anything and everything that is edible, they aren't really very picky. Upon finding something new on its territory, a resident Snorlax will put it in its mouth to see if it's something that can be eaten. Snorlax are fond of large, thorny vines as a snack item.

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG149 107.jpeg|thumb|[[Ash's Snorlax]] using {{m|Ice Punch}}]]

Snorlax first appeared in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]''. This Snorlax was blocking the water flow to a small village.

In ''[[EP094|Snack Attack!]]'', a Snorlax was eating the grapefuits of the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands|Grapefruit Islands]]. {{Ash}} managed to capture it near the end of the episode. After the adventures in the [[Orange Islands]], [[Ash's Snorlax]] spent most of its time at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab.

''[[H012|Training Daze]]'' featured a [[Alternate coloration|red]] Snorlax which [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, while competing with [[Butch]], [[Cassidy]] and {{TR|Raticate}}, were sent to steal in order to become official Team Rocket field agents. The Snorlax turned out to be [[Viper]], the Team Rocket Academy Drill Sergeant, in disguise.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', a Snorlax was a sheriff in a western-themed Pokémon movie.

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', another Snorlax was causing trouble for a man named [[Marcel]] by eating the bananas in his {{p|Slakoth}} Banana Garden. Marcell's newly evolved {{p|Vigoroth}} defeated the Snorlax, allowing him to capture it. Afterwards, Marcell made an attraction around his new Snorlax: a relaxation room.

A Snorlax also appeared near the end of ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', evolving from {{p|Munchlax}} in order to stay afloat during a 'flood' of malfunctioning robots.

In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]'', a Snorlax made a cameo as one of [[Pike Queen Lucy|Lucy's]] pets.

[[Roman]], who appeared in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', owns a Snorlax.

==In the manga==
{{Special|Red}} caught a Snorlax on [[Route 17|Cycling Road]].

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Snorlax Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Snorlax in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Snorlax will fly up into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

Snorlax is also a Pokéfloat. It is in its sleeping form and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.

====Trophy information====
Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 888 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
After being released from a Poké Ball, Snorlax will fly up into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|Pokémon Ranger]]: Snorlax will be seen sleeping throughout the game, effectively cutting off certain areas until later on. It will eventually remain in a cave in the [[Sekra Mountain Range]]. Once the rest of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Ranger Browser]] has been completed, it will wake up and can be captured.

* Until [[Generation III]], Snorlax was the heaviest Pokémon. It was then passed up by both {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Groudon}}. In [[Generation IV]], both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}} are heavier than it as well, setting it back to its present state of the fifth-heaviest Pokémon known.
* Snorlax has the fifth highest base HP of all Pokémon, after {{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, and {{p|Wailord}}, in that order.
* Snorlax could learn or know the move {{M|Headbutt}} from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]], but can't naturally learn it as of [[Generation IV]] by moveset.
* There is no sprite in which Snorlax is shown standing up or with its eyes open.
* At 110, Snorlax and {{p|Dodrio}} have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all [[Generation I]] Normal-types.
* In [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} to {{Gen|III}}, Snorlax could learn {{M|Hyper Beam}} by [[Level|leveling up]]. However, in [[Generation IV]], possibly due to the Physical/Special split, Snorlax can no longer learn it by leveling up and instead can learn {{M|Giga Impact}}, Hyper Beam's physical variant.

==Origin==
It may be loosely based on {{wp|hibernation|hibernating}} {{wp|bear}}s or {{wp|teddy bear}}s.
===Name origin===
Snorlax's name is a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax''. The ''lax'' in its name might also come from relax. Its Japanese name may come from an alternate reading of sleep, 寐 ''bi'', and a corruption of 鼾酔 ''kansui'', snoring, or 憩う ''ikou'', rest. It may also incorporate mold, 黴 ''kabi'', noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food. 잠만보 is derived from "Sleepy-head"

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Relaxo - From ''relax''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ronflex - From ''ronfler'' (snore).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 잠만보 ''Jammanbo''

I'll post whenever I can... I really don't have much time to, truthfully. ... Of course, you're free to pick and choose from what I've already written. It's all at http://www.fakecard.com/pokemon/tcg/ ... Just be sure the text get rewritten, best take out all the Hmmm!'s and other personalized stuff, just so it seems more like an official encyclopedia piece, y'know? -nick15

I'm also useless when it comes to anything Nintendo has released since around Team Magma/Aqua, so you're gonna have to find someone else who's up to date with those sets. - nick15

If I remember right, a user is alerted when someone writes on their talk page. I was going to see if I had enough power to abuse to put this on the front page, but I don't =P

I'm considering taking down PokeFor by the end of the summer. So, here's an open offer for Bulbapedia to take its content, reword it into your own words and use it. Okay, so I allowed that before, but now there's a rush for content as it'll be gone within a month or two! Okay, so there's still the [http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://pokefor.greenchu.de/meowth346/ Wayback Machine] (where you can still see PokeFor's wonderous pink layout!) If PokeFor has anything of use, then have fun and enjoy. If it doesn't, then please disregard this. Feel free to pass this message on to any Bulbapedia users. Even though I openly and outright detest parts of Bulbapedia, why should I care one bit about things after I'm gone? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 07:56, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I was taken aback by your decision to freeze the site, but remained optimistic about the possibility that you could change your mind. I have even been keeping track of the site's recently modified files feed, and noticed that you have updated it at least once since the freeze took place. If it is not too much to ask, I would like to know why the site cannot remain in its present state, so that you can resume maintaining it if and when you change your mind.

PokeFor does indeed have its many uses, so the question should not be if Bulbapedia would be benefited from taking its content, but rather if it deserves to do so in the first place. Before PokeFor's content can be implemented, Bulbapedia has to undergo many changes, and Bulbagarden itself has to be less geared at the anime and the Pokemon fandom. The People category is a good example, merging the creators of the games with arguably influential figures in the Pokemon community (I consider it a problem that Archaic and Serebii's pages are more detailed than those of Satoshi Tajiri and Junichi Masuda). It will be very easy to simply implement PokeFor's content as it is, but it will not blend with Bulbapedia's less-than-satisfactory quality. If those in charge decide to take up Meowth346's offer, I hope that they will also be fair enough to follow suggestions to revert Bulbapedia to a true Pokémon encyclopedia. Even if he may not admit it, Meowth346 at the very least deserves to know that his hard work has been put to good use. --Unown Lord

: "so that you can resume maintaining it if and when you change your mind."; yup, you hit the nail on the head. That's why I'm dropping it. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 11:30, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

: If you so strongly feel that it is less than satisfactory, you should take up the challenge and improve the quality [[Satoshi Tajiri|of]] [[Jun'ichi Masuda|said]] [[Ken Sugimori|articles]]. (Then again, this sort of information is hard to come by. Where could we possibly find out, say, Ken Sugimori's birthdate or Jun'ichi Masuda's birthplace?)
: But I don't think we are going to roll back on our policy to be an encyclopedia of canon '''and''' community. That's a step backwards. Anybody and everybody has an encyclopedia of canon. This is our way of differenciating ourselves. (You could argue the very idea of a wiki encyclopedia is how we are different, but anybody and everybody can have one.) As much as our latest efforts ''appear'' to be anime- and community-focused, rest assured we still respect the rest of the canon. (In fact, I would ''really'' like it if more effort was placed there...)
: But let's face facts: if people won't contribute because they feel it won't blend in, and if it won't blend in because people won't contribute - well, then we're mired in a vicious circle, aren't we? So, we accept the challenge to assimilate and integrate Meowth346's accumulated volume of knowledge. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 13:33, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

: I simply fail to see why the the People category cannot be split into two separate parts, representing the canon and the community. Looking at the other parts of the Bulbapedia, there is no major collision between the two, but judging by this example alone, that may simply be due to a coincidence. Is there not a way in which Bulbapedia can remain an encyclopedia of both canon and community, and yet not force the community upon those who could find it offensive? You must have gathered from Meowth346 that he is one such person whose enthusiastic approach towards Bulbapedia was turned down by some articles that pertain to the community. I also find that there are ''very'' few English sites which do justice to the canon, so you should see Bulbapedia has a means to collect information from those sites, as well as to highlight them over the many sites that follow the repetitive pattern of the same limited content. You should not feel obligated to focus on the community if only to make Bulbapedia unique (that is not to say that you should roll back on your policy completely, but that you should attempt at separating the community-related content from the canon-related pages).

: I have been demotivated to take an active part in Bulbapedia, but with the inclusion of PokeFor's content, I feel compelled to change that. I will do my best at ensuring that the site's content is assimilated in such a way that stays true to Meowth346's ambitions, and that the rest of Bulbapedia undergoes the necessary changes. As a final note, I only hope that this does not only mean you will intergrate Meowth346's work on the past and present games, but also strive to follow his path when future games are released (the most relevant subject being the upcoming XD game). --Unown Lord

:: Few of us have the skill or talent needed to do as he has done for the game canon. I myself have not the resources to even extract the simplest information from XD, for I have neither a GameCube nor a DVD-ROM drive to read the data with. The upcoming Diamond/Pearl are an even greater challenge: no one has ever dissected a DS Pokémon game before. I am not even aware of any successes in dumping DS games. (It is my hope that when dumped, the structure will not be ''too'' different from the GBA.)
:: The people category would have been split, were it not for the difficulty in finding suitable category names. No doubt that people agree that [[Hirokazu Tanaka|Tanaka Hirokazu]], [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori Ken]], [[Satoshi Tajiri|Tajiri Satoshi]], [[Jun'ichi Masuda|Masuda Jun'ichi]] et al should be separated from [[Archaic]], [[Meowth346]] and [[Murgatroyd]] - just how do you define the criteria as a category name?
:: My own question is this: is it actually the community that people find offensive, or just [[:Category:Shipping|certain segments]]? - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 14:34, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:: Actually, Nintendo DS games are being dumped. Check it out [http://www.gbatemp.net/ here]. -GoldChaos

::: Cooperation is the key word. Meowth346 accomplished as much as he did because not only did he possess the knowledge and talent, he also had the ambition and intuition to decipher the games. He did have most of the resources available to him, but the English data for FireRed/LeafGreen and Emerald is at least one example for instances in which he relied on others to provide him some of the resources. He seldom expressed his wishes to turn PokeFor into a wiki, knowing that cooperation would further the already high-end standards of the site. He was enthusiastic towards Bulbapedia at first for this reason, but the project took a much different direction than he had expected. You should not regard Meowth346's kind offer as a token of his approval of Bulbapedia--I assure you this is not the case. I have no place to speak on his behalf, but I will say that this is his way to ensure that the community does not completely deteriorate after he leaves. Do not expect him to hand you all the information without any substantial work, as that will establish very little. By working on the Bulbapedia so that PokeFor's contents blend with the existing information, and to a lesser extent vice-versa, a window of opportunity will be opened. PokeFor's contents can be made even more elaborate, as Meowth346 once wished that a wiki would accomplish, and with some time and much cooperation we may be able to reach a sufficient level so as to be able to extract and analyze data from future games.

::: Myself, I was offended by the inclusion of a large part of the Bulbagarden staff in the People category. I have already described how inappropriate I find the lack of distinction between the game creators and the fans, not all of whom even deserve to be acknowledged as having contributed to the community. Some people are known, or used to be known around the community for various reasons. That is not to say that those people necessarily contributed more than others, but if their contribution can be put in words, it should mean that it is appropriate to list them. If the person is not widely known and is still listed, it creates the impression that Bulbapedia is not as community-driven as it is made out to be, and is simply dedicated to Bulbagarden's needs. In other words, if the inclusion of the person does not serve any purpose behind that of the Bulbagarden Staff profile or the user page, I tend to deem it inappropriate. I see no reason why the community-related pages in the People category cannot simply be moved to a new category: Community People. If a certain page does not even belong to this category (that is, it pertains to the person more than to his contribution to the community), it is a good sign that the content should stay on the user page or in the person's Bulbagarden profile.

::: The community-related pages should always be categorized separately from the canon-related ones. Other than the People category, the [[:Category:Pokémon meta|Pokémon meta]] category includes the pages for the Crossover Pokédex Project and the Deoxys Media Player Project, both of which have nothing to do with the franchise. The [[Fanon]] page uses examples of Shipping, which should stay in their respective category--a simple explanation of the terminology is more than enough. Community-related pages should preferably not be used to represent Bulbapedia by listing them on the Main Page (this is currently not a problem). There should also be no room for allusions to fanon theories on the canon-related pages, such as the one listed at the bottom of [[Eusine|Eusine's]] page. Finally, the priority of the top-level categories on the Main Page disturbs me greatly. It is not listed in alphabetical order, justifiably so, yet the order does appear to be random. First of all, the games should always be listed before the anime and manga. I would gladly open a debate on the subject, but I feel that you already realize that giving priority to the anime hinders Bulbapedia's status as a true Pokémon encyclopedia, and instead renders the entire project a mere part of Bulbagarden, which is undoubtedly anime-focused. The priority between the anime and manga is up to debate, but I tend to agree that the anime should be listed first for being endorsed by Nintendo. The TCG, though endorsed by Nintendo, should come after the manga for holding a separate share of the franchise. Pokémon, moves, characters, world and meta should follow in the end, as they deal with the ideas introduced in the former categories. This order should be followed in pages relating to the games, anime, manga and TCG (even organized pages, such as [[Lance|this one]], give priority to the anime-related contents by listing the Japanese voice actor in the character's introduction and listing the anime category first). --Unown Lord

:::: It is partially alphabetical, partially priority. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&direction=prev&oldid=4949 Originally], it was the three main bodies of canon in alphabetical order, then two miscellaneous categories. The Pokémon category was later added between those two, because it was neither a body of canon nor a miscellaneous category. Then as we added more and more, it became more and more random looking.
:::: Personally, I will regard Meowth346's offer as his last contribution to a project he had hopes for - such that he still remains one of the [[User:Zhen Lin/Top users|top 20 users]] on Bulbapedia, despite not having contributed in months.
:::: But interesting you picked Crossover Pokédex Project, Deoxys Media Player Project as examples. You will note that on Talk:Deoxys Media Player Project, I complained that it had "limited relevance". I have not retracted that statement yet - but the zeitgeist appears to be in favour of keeping it. (Either that, or no one wants to be responsible for clicking that delete button.)
:::: I think, you have highlighted a number of problems that the editorial board is not too pleased with, but we have only ourselves to blame - I may have personally contributed some nearly 2,000 edits, but I no longer edit actively, and neither does the Editor-in-Chief [[User:evkl|evkl]]. I therefore extend my invitation to you, in my capacity as Managing Editor, to join the editorial board. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 12:12, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::: I appreciate your taking the time to address my points and am flattered by your invitation. What would my joining the editorial board entail? Does the editorial board consist of the entire Bulbagarden staff who have some part in Bulbapedia, or is it just you and evkl at the moment? I am merely looking for a way to take Bulbapedia in a different direction. I suppose that for all this time I have felt that any significant involvement on my part would not be enough to persuade others to turn to the same perspective. I hope that being on the editorial board will change this fact.

:::::: From here on in, seeing as Zhen's on vacation, I think I'll handle most of your queries. Joining the Editorial Board basically means that you take an active role in the executive-level decisions on the 'pedia. Currently, the editorial board is just Zhen and myself with Arcy and Damian sitting in from time to time. We do need new directions taken with the 'pedia, and as Zhen said, neither he nor I take active editing roles--we're more inclined towards the executive decisionmaking as of late.

*Yawns*

As a long time visitor of the beloved Pokemon Forever Site, I often come to this site for one main reason: many Trainers data - battle e, contests, battle frontier etc. Do you mind send me all of the trainer data to me at dajason@gmail.com. Thanks for your time. I am really going to miss your great site for good... I first came here since the one warm summer of the year 2000....

----

I agree with and support Zhen's statement; we would be honored to work PokeFor's volumes of information into Bulbapedia.

----
Well, this has certainly been a surprise and a half.
We'll be sad to see you stop work on your site Meowth, as will I'm sure a great many other people. I can only hope that we live up to the legacy of this inheritance.
I'll contact you after I get home from University tonight regarding this Meowth. If you could arrange for us to have a temp. FTP account to download the PokeFor site with, so that we might store it on a local archive while we transfer its information to 'pedia, that'd be most appreciated.
--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 21:48, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

: Mm, no FTP access. No access to the original files and databases. People can get what they can from my pages, again as long as the reword it. No copy & pasting directly, please. This isn't a license to plagurize, just an affirmation to use and reword the information while it's still there. Of course, the Wayback Machine and Google, Yahoo, etc. have caches. Oh, and there's no way to contact me unless you e-mail me at my Gmail account. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 21:53, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:: Well...that certainly makes things a lot harder. We weren't intending to plagurize, but having the original information saved locally while we re-write it would've helped a great deal, both in giving us a longer of period of time in which to transfer it, and in allowing us to put up a permanent memorial site of PokeFor as it was at the time it closed, seeing as the Wayback Machine won't be able to manage anything that uses a script (your dex for instance). --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 22:15, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

There is an ad that has been appearing for several weeks now that reads, "Free Pokémon Battle! Today Only!" First of all, what is Pokémon Battle?

== I have an idea... ==

OK, I know a lot of people are totally desperate to edit their user pages (myself included) and I also read thenotice about edits every five minutes annihilating the server then I had an idea that might make everyone happy. Would it be possible that the admnins dish out a certain date to a user starting from whenever, sort of like an appointment. Example:

*TTEchinda: 12th July
*Archaic: 13th July
*Wikid: 14th July

On this day that user could then be given the oppourtunity to edit their userpage by enabling the user to edit their page but only on that day. This way the server won't destroy itself and everyone can have their own personally edited pages. If they want to change it they could ask an admin for an "appointment" and so the admins don't get bombarded with requests about userpage edits you could have a one edit per month or whatever rule. Would that work? [[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 16:29, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

:Thing is, some people have their own sandboxes in the user space as well. The community sandbox is so cluttered, that it takes forever to load...

::I've JUST been on the community sandbox, it only took two minutes, which to be fair isn't that long.

== Bulbapedia in Slovenian language ==

How can we have Bulbapedia in Slovenien language? [[User:Gregory|Gregory]] 14:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

:You're better off looking for an existing Slovenian Pokémon wiki that uses MediaWiki software and a Creative Commons license.

:In the event one could conclude that such a wiki doesn't already exist, you'd then be best off obtaining a good server and beginning your own MediaWiki-software Creative Commons-licensed wiki. Since there's a Wikipedia in the Slovenian language, such a task is feasibly possible. Then, you'd be best off creating at least minimal stub articles for each of the 493 Pokémon; if the Pokémon have localized Slovenian names, use those. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:07, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

== Team Buds ==

Since your an admin, I just want to know whether [[user:Dragonbeastx|me]] and [[user:Tavisource|Tavisource]] can create a page for this new team that were making. We're hoping that the team can be an info page for new users who need to aks questions. Were calling it Team Budew, just 'cause I asked Tavisource if we can be buds and he got the idea for a team maybe called team budew. we think that me and him would answer questions that new users would post on that page. So, what do you think? --[[User:Dragonbeastx|Dragonbeastx]] 01:51, 24 October 2008 (UTC) *UPDATE* Any answer????............[[User:Dragonbeastx|Dragonbeastx]] 20:15, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

:Um, no. You asked Archaic, and I'm not Archaic, but the answer is no. First off, you'd fail epically at answering the questions of new users. You've gotten blocked from editing the userspace because you ignored the warnings, and you're apparently not even familiar with one of the most basic link templates, <nowiki>{{u|(user name)}}</nowiki>. As for Tavi, most of his contributions are talk. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 20:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

For removing that <s>Abomination</s> Sad excuse for a user. He has been asking for it[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((曲奇饼妖怪]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]

:What the heck did he do to warrant a ban for 6 months? I mean I'm not the biggest Kuki fan, but he has contributed a lot to the mainspace. I mean he got pictures for CODs that I was too lazy to get. Yeah, he got into edit wars frequently, that was his flaw, but I don't think you have the right to call him a sorry excuse for a user. There are other users here that I think disserve a ban more than Kuki does. You know, users who contribute NOTHING and just like to talk to people like its Myspace and only cause drama.

:And pardon my words, but he's been making more edits to Bulbapedia than you have in the past year, Archaic. Okay, you may have been doing important things, but I don't think you have a right to call another user "useless". A user who has been contributing something almost everyday since the beginning of the year is not my definition of useless.

:I honestly don't know what's happening to this administration lately... First TTEchidna, now this... I may not know the entire back story, but it just seems to me like the admins are blocking people for their own best interest. For what ever Kuki did off of Bulbapedia, it really shouldn't reflect upon him here...

:If you want to block him for a couple days then fine. But six months is uncalled for. Those who vandalize pages get a lighter sentences... We are all human and we all make mistakes. This is just my 2 cents... --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:59, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Zephy.Changes: /* Game Boy Micro */

[[Image:200px-Gameboy logo.svg.png|thumb|right|The logo to the Game Boy.]]
The '''Game Boy''' (Japanese: '''ゲームボーイ''', ''Game Boy''), [[Nintendo]]'s flagship handheld console, was first released in 1989, and even today is the best selling handheld console of all time. {{wp|Gunpei Yokoi}} is credited with playing a key role in its development and release.

==Versions==
===Game Boy===
[[Image:150px-Gameboy.jpg|thumb|right|The first Game Boy]]
The first '''Game Boy''' was released in 1989. The first Game Boy was large and gray, with a monotone dot matrix screen and monaural sound. It was playable for an average of 35 hours with four AA batteries. Many peripherals were released for it through its time, the more popular ones being the [[Game Boy Printer]] and [[Game Boy Camera]]. The Game Boy was also later released with five differently colored bodies.

===Game Boy Pocket===
[[Image:100px-Game boy pocket.png|thumb|left|The Game Boy Pocket.]]
The '''Game Boy Pocket''' was released in 1996 as a replacement for the original Game Boy. The Game Boy Pocket had a smaller frame, a larger screen, and a higher resolution display. Despite its screen improvements, the Game Boy Pocket display was still in monotone and the sound remained the same as it was in the original Game Boy. Another somewhat minor improvement was that the system took two AAA batteries instead of four AA, effectively helping to lighten its weight.

===Game Boy Light===
[[Image:100px-Game Boy Light.jpg|thumb|right|The Game Boy Light.]]
The '''Game Boy Light''' was a system released exclusively in Japan in 1997. It was similar in all ways to the '''Game Boy Pocket''' with the main difference being an indigo back-lit screen. The Game Boy light uses 2 AA batteries, which give it approximately 20 hours with the light off and 12 hours with the light on. It seems that the [[Game Boy Advance SP]] got its idea from the Game Boy Light.

===Game Boy Color===
Similar to the original Game Boy but with a color screen.
{{main|Game Boy Color}}

===Game Boy Advance===
An improved version of the Game Boy Color with atrapezoidal design and better graphics. It is also compatible with the Game Cube.
{{main|Game Boy Advance}}

===Game Boy Advance SP===
It features a clamshell design and boasts the ability to be played in the dark without an external light source.
{{main|Game Boy Advance SP}}

===Game Boy Micro===

==Pokémon and the Game Boy==
The [[Pokémon]] game franchise is widely considered to be one of the driving forces behind Game Boy sales, especially in the late 1990s and early 21st century.

===Pokémon games for Game Boy===

Does not really have much relevance to Pokémon (would we create a "TV" article because the anime appeared on it?)... articles that link here would probably be better off linking to the Wikipedia version, I think. - Hyperworm

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually, it does have relevance if people want to look up the systems pokemon has appeared in in the games. We also have a Game Cube page too that needs to be worked on. We can make our own Game Cube and GBA articles. We also have a DS one. It makes sense to have the systems the games appeared on.

Ledian_X

Not only that, but Pokemon in general is pretty highly tied to the Gameboy systems. It pretty much single-handedly kept sales of the Gameboy going consistantly for years.

Perfectly happy with that justification. - Hyperworm

Should we mention the GameBoy Pocket and GameBoy Light? I'm not sure if the GameBoy Light ever got released outside of Japan, but I know the pocket did. They would've been out around the same time the original Pokémon games were released in Japan, IIRC.--[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 12:04, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)

could satisfy some people.

Bulbapedia:Project Moves and Abilities

2008-12-23T16:56:13Z

Zephy.Changes:

[[Image:Project MoveDex logo.png|right]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organise efforts to write and improve articles about '''moves'''. 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 the {{red link|Bulbapedia:Project MoveDex/To-do list}}.

==Project MoveDex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Movedex''' covers all articles about moves, also known as "techniques" or "skills", that presently exist in the Pokémon universe. It encompasses all moves that exist in the Game Boy and Nintendo DS games plus any moves which are otherwise defined as legitimate outside of the Game Boy and Nintendo DS games. It does not, however, define moves that exist in the Trading Card Game, in the Anime alone, or in any other offshoots of the main franchise.

===Participants===

===Structure===
Examples: {{m|Signal Beam}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Psybeam}}.

'''<nowiki>==Effect==</nowiki>''' 
A description of the move's effect. If the move's effect varies between generations, differences should be specified in subsections titled with the generation (for instance, '''<nowiki>===Generation III===</nowiki>'''). 
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>''' 
The image of the move in the anime with the legend "''Pokémon'' using ''move''". The size of the screenshot is 240px. However, if there are multiple screenshots on a page then the use of the gallery function is preferable. Below it, there should be a description of the move, how it looks, how it hits the opponent. 
:'''<nowiki>===Pokémon===</nowiki>'''
:List of the Pokémon who have used the move. In the first line the name of the Pokémon and a description for the move in that Pokémon. After is a list of that Pokémon orders by episode number, has to have the name of the trainer and if it is the move's debut.
:If the Pokémon that uses the move was a regular character we will put "from", the episode when it first used the move, "to", and the episode when it was released/traded/etc.

To put the info in the right style paste this in the article.

Zephy.Changes:

Response on my [[User talk:TTEchidna|talk page]]. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 18:25, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

== e-Reader Berries ==

Put the infobox before the page text, all right? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 03:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

== Shuco Berry ==

I write to apologise on behalf of the Shuca Berry article as i changed the bitterness to "Yes", but then after a solid 10 minutes of debating with myself, i realised that it was, in fact, not bitter.

[[Image:Spr 3e 172.gif]][[User:Pichu lover|'''P''''''i''''''c''''''h''''''u''']][[User talk:Pichu lover|'''L''''''o''''''v''''''e''''''r''']]

P.S I have changed it back

== Venustoise ==

The main reason I deleted the Venustoise "article" was that it was [[:Image:Venustoise.JPG|this picture]] and nothing else. If an actual article was created, then the situation would be different.

However, if you are going to create one, bear in mind TTEchidna's comment on [[Talk:EP020]]. How much can we actually say about it? --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 20:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

== Signature ==

You're missing a <nowiki></nowiki> somewhere in your signature. The lack of that tag is causing all text after an occurence of your signature to appear in the wrong colors. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

== Level-up tables ==

when expanding a table, be sure to correctly modify multiple moves in one catigory. the best example is in the start catigory.

{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"
|- style="background: #{{dark color}};"
! Level || [[Generation IV]] || [[Type]] || [[Damage category|Cat.]]
|-
| rowspan="2" | Start || {{m|Disable}} || {{ic|Normal}} || {{ic|Status}}
|-
| {{m|Night Shade}} || {{ic|Ghost}} || {{ic|Special}}
|-
| 11 || {{M|Quick Attack}} || {{ic|Normal}} || {{ic|Physical}}
|}

when you edit this, you can see the "rowspan" that allows the table to recognize the merge. also, when you modified Darkrai's table (the one im using as en example) you somhow deleted some of the code, causing a broken table. please check your work with the preview button before submitting it. '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 00:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
:The multi-move Start thing was the only problem I had, I thought what I did was the best way to lay it out. Couldn't think of a way to lay a table for it. Regardless I always preview my edits before submitting. I didn't notice any broken tables though. [[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']][[Image:Trozeiani157.gif]] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']][[Image:Trozeiani286.gif]] 02:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
::oh, well, it was pretty bad. oh well. just check that ^^^^ out if you have a prob, thats the dealy. '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

== Signature2 ==

while i check into the "Solid Rock" thing, id like to say that images in signatures are now against the new signature policy. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 02:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
:Now that's no help. The Policy is [[User talk:Jioruji Derako|at the top]]--'''[[User:Pokemaniac102|Poke]][[User talk:Pokemaniac102|maniac]]102''' 02:03, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

== Signature ==

I see you're still depending on a now-deleted signature template for a signature. As per the {{bp|signature policy}}, signature templates are forbidden. You're going to have to hard-wire a custom signature into your preferences. Look over the policy, it tells you how to do it. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:01, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
:I tried to find my sig page a while back but looking at User:Toastypk/Sig it seemed to have disappeared. I knew it had images in it and I tried to get rid of them but it just vanished for me. Toastypk 03:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Ok goodie, it's fixed!
:here, try this:

[[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']]

or this

[[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toasty''''']][[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''pk''']]

or somthing to that effect. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

== Deoxys's formes ==

Check the official American Pokédex at Pokémon.com. Deoxys didn't have "formes" before, but is sure as hell does now. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Talk))]] 03:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

== Moving pages ==

Please do not copy and paste article text to move pages. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 11:14, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

== I'm getting annoyed at this ==

Make a link to your usepage and your usertalk page in your signature, I don't want to keep working my way around just to get to your pages! ''[[User:Moldy orange|'''Moldy''']][[User talk:Moldy orange|'''Orange''']]'' 16:57, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Testing now... [[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']] 17:11, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I don't know why that Loom part doesn't link to my talk page. But at least it's better than it was before.

:It won't link to your talk page if it is ''on'' your talk page. If you test it on another talk page, it should work. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 17:22, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

::::Congrats, dude![[User:Darth Cookie Monster|Emperor's Cookies]] 00:19, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

== Rollbacking ==

Just to answer your rollback question, if nobody else did already. "Rollback" will revert the article, just like the normal "Revert" option. The difference is, it'll revert ''all'' the edits by the last contributor, which is useful if a single vandal edits a page multiple times.

When a vandal moves a page, however, revert or rollback won't do anything. It's a new page. The only fix is to use the move feature to move the page back to it's original location. the [[Special:Log/move|Move log]] will also have a "revert" option in there next to each move. You'll probably need to go and manually delete all the redirect pages that are left-over after the move, too. Generally, vandals don't abuse the move feature when they could be simply vandalizing pages, so luckily the situation doesn't pop up much. It's a pain in the ass when they do though. (last time I had to deal with a vandal like that, it took me over an hour to ban him and undo all his work.) --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 20:08, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

== Mystery Dungeon 2 Player ==
A usertag you have been using, <nowiki>{{User Mystery Dungeon 2}}</nowiki>, has been moved to a new location due to a split in the usertag between the two versions. Your tag has been switched to that template's new location, <nowiki>{{User Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time}}</nowiki>.

:Uhoh... maybe that wasn't what I was going for. I just thought that like, two or three Pokemon share the same moves in the card game because there are so many different moves over the course of the card series. I just thought there was something about the layout at the time that needed refining, and I still do, but maybe that's not the right way to go. [[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']] 02:11, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

==Please==
Slow down on editing the <code>User:</code> namespace. There are only three userspace edits allowed per day, and you have gone over the limit. Editing your userpage too much will lead to it being locked again. Instead of making multiple small edits, why not instead use the preview button (Alt + Shift + P) to check your edits before saving the page? Thank you. --[[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Smarter than the average bear!]] 19:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
