'''Drifloon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フワンテ''' ''Fuwante'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Drifblim}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==
[[File:Fantina Drifloon.png|thumb|left|250px|Drifloon's mouth, in the middle of the "X"]]
Drifloon is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a spherical, purple body. It has two stringy arms that have yellow, heart-shaped hands on the ends of them. At the base of its body is a frayed protrusion that resembles the tied end of a balloon. In the middle of its face is a yellow tape-like "X" mark, which contains its little mouth in the very center. Located on either side of the "X" are its small, black eyes. A white mass of fluff that resembles a cloud sits on top of Drifloon's head. Drifloon's body is filled with air, as well as the lost spirits of people and Pokémon. Its body expands as it collects more souls. If it explodes, the souls unleash with a screaming sound. It is also rumored that Drifloon itself is reincarnated from deceased humans.

This Pokémon is known as a "Signpost for Wandering Spirits" due to its aimless drifting. Desiring company, Drifloon often seeks out children and grabs their hands. However, due to how light it is, it can be resisted easily and is often pulled around. This results in Drifloon running away from any children who are rough with it. Drifloon also dislikes heavy children. There are rumors that Drifloon steals children who hold onto it, guiding them to the afterlife. Despite this reputation, as seen [[DP028|in the anime]], Drifloon can be friendly and helpful. In [[M10|the movies]], Drifloon's body puffs up when they get angry or aggressive. Drifloon sightings are typically more common at night. It prefers to reside in damp, humid locations and can expand or shrink to express its feelings.

Drifloon and its evolved form, {{p|Drifblim}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Flare Boost}} as an [[Ability]]. Prior to [[Generation V]], this was also true for {{a|Unburden}}.

===Evolution===
Drifloon evolves into {{p|Drifblim}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
* Drifloon was the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to be revealed in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* In the Japanese version of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pearl}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry, Drifloon specifically takes children to the "world of the dead" (Japanese: あのよ), instead of just trying to "steal them away" as in the English version. However, in the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl in {{pmin|the United States}}, the description along with Drifloon's trophy still states that it is "taking children to the underworld".
* Drifloon shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, and {{p|Qwilfish}}. They are all known as the Balloon Pokémon.
* Drifloon and its evolved form are the only Pokémon not introduced in [[Generation III]] to be found in the Fluctuating [[List of Pokémon by experience type|Experience Group]].
** They are also the only {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and the only {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon in the Fluctuating Experience Group.

===Origin===
Drifloon appears to be based on a {{wp|balloon}}. The yellow shape around its mouth resembles a puncture bandage (its mouth being the puncture), the white puff on its head resembles a {{wp|cloud}}, and its heart-shaped feet resemble the weights on the strings of {{wp|gas balloon|helium balloon}}s. It also resembles the {{wp|Ctenophora|comb jelly}}, specifically the {{wp|Tentaculata}}. It may also be based on {{wp|space jellyfish}} (also known as atmospheric jellyfish), an atmospheric phenomenon caused by rocket launches that are often mistaken for {{wp|cryptids}} or UFO sightings.

As a concept of a {{type|Ghost}} balloon, it may have been inspired by some ''{{wp|Kaidan}}'' ghost stories, where ghosts and spirits have been compared to balloons. In particular it may have been inspired by the anime and manga series ''{{wp|Inuyasha}}'''s depiction of the ''Tatarimokke'', a spirit which in Japanese mythology is typically an owlish ghost but in ''Inuyasha'' was depicted as a balloon-like ghost that drags children into the afterlife.

====Name origin====
Drifloon may be a combination of ''drift'' and ''balloon''.

Fuwante may be a combination of ふわふわ ''fuwa fuwa'' (soft, airy, and light; or an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for floating), 風船 ''fūsen'' (balloon), and 不安定 ''fuantei'' (unstable).

== Mythology ==
It's probably based on the alchemical lion. (http://atlanteangardens.blogspot.com/2014/06/alchemy-green-lion-devouring-sun.html) In alchemical mysticism the lion devouring the sun is symbolism for extracting gold by melting away impurities with acidic substances.

== Page protection and awful writing ==

Why is this page protected? What's the point of having a wiki if people can't edit it? The community is not large enough (as Wikipedia's is) to justify only letting admins edit a page, especially when the admins have such a terrible grasp of language. For example, "It may also involve Galileo, an ancient astronomer who believe the Earth rotated around the sun." Firstly, it was slightly better before [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Solgaleo_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=2452876&oldid=2452708 this edit] (although the other changes in that edit were good). ''Incorporate'' is a much better word to use than ''involve''. Secondly, there is an obvious grammatical error in the sentence. And thirdly, Galileo didn't "believe" the Earth rotated around the Sun (which should start with a capital in that context); he ''knew'' the Earth rotated around the Sun. He worked it out using science. It's a fact and therefore is not a belief. Can someone please either make these changes or unprotect the page so that others can edit (which is the entire point of a wiki)?

'''Sealeo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トドグラー''' ''Todoggler'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Spheal}} starting at [[level]] 32 and evolves into {{p|Walrein}} starting at level 44.

==Biology==
Sealeo is a bright blue, pinniped Pokémon. Its throat and chest are beige with speckling around the edges. There are two short tusks protruding from its upper jaw, and it has dark brown, oval eyes. It has a powerful pair of front flippers, which are able to crush ice. Additionally, it has a short, flipper-like tail. On the sides of its blunt muzzle are thick, white whiskers. When it encounters new objects, they are placed on its nose and rolled around to test its smell and texture. It has also been known to roll {{p|Spheal}} on its nose. Sealeo is capable of coating its body in ice and rolling to use its former [[signature move]], {{m|Ice Ball}}. This Pokémon lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|sea}}, and dives underwater to hunt for prey five times a day.

==In the anime==

'''Walrein''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トドゼルガ''' ''Todoseruga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sealeo}} starting at [[level]] 44. It is the final form of {{p|Spheal}}.

==Biology==
Walrein is a large, sea lion-like Pokémon with a layer of blubber under its skin. It is primarily blue, with thin, white rings around its neck and lines on its fan-like tailfin. There are two long, ivory tusks in its upper jaw. It has a round snout and yellow eyes, and large tufts of white fur about its face and neck. Its four short legs have long flippers instead of feet.

Walrein lives in and around icy {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|seas}}, where it is insulated against the cold by its thick layer of blubber. This layer of fat also protects it from enemy attacks by causing them to bounce off. It can coat its body in ice and charge opponents to use its former [[signature move]], {{m|Ice Ball}}. While its long tusks are capable of crushing ice, they may break during battle. This Pokémon can be found in herds, which are fiercely protected by the leader.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Walrein made its debut under the ownership of [[Team Aqua]] in ''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite!]]''. They also appeared later in ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

A Walrein appeared in [[AG096|''Training Wrecks'']], under the ownership of [[Rocky]]. Walrein battled [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Grovyle}}, alongside a {{p|Quagsire}}. Before Grovyle could attack Quagsire with its {{m|Leaf Blade}} Walrein attacked Grovyle with its {{m|Ice Ball}}. Pikachu defeated Walrein in the end while Grovyle took care of Quagsire.

Walrein was {{ho|Katie}}'s final Pokémon while battling Ash in ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]''. The Ice Break Pokémon defeated [[Ash's Swellow]], and {{AP|Corphish}} (the latter was already tired out from battling Katie's {{p|Golduck}}), and was defeated by Ash's Grovyle.

===Minor appearances===
A large group of {{p|Spheal}}, {{p|Sealeo}} and Walrein are seen at the beginning of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

Multiple Walrein made brief cameo appearances in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Archie Walrein Adventures.png|thumb|Walrein in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Walrein first appears in ''[[PS230|Walrein and Camerupt]]''. It was used by [[Archie]] to battle against [[Maxie]], and later when ironically fighting alongside the Magma Leader against {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, though they are able to exploit the two leader's weakness of taking little notice of each other's presence and easily win. A few more volumes later, in the climax of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, Archie sends out several more Walrein alongside Maxie's multiple {{p|Houndoom}} to buy time for the two to escape, but are thwarted.

Much later, under the guise of [[Guile Hideout]], the same Team Aqua leader sends out a Walrein that is easily beaten by [[Poli]] alongside his {{p|Masquerain}} (beaten by [[Polibo]]).

History of the Pokémon world

2015-01-16T09:27:01Z

Zeta:

{{fan speculation}}
{{incomplete|2=ORAS stuff, more info on Delta Episode}}
Below is a timeline of events in the '''history of the Pokémon world''', primarily those established in the [[canon]] of the [[Pokémon games]] since these apply most to other forms of canon. There is also a separate [[Timeline of events in the anime|timeline of events for the anime series]] as well as [[Timeline of events in Pokémon Adventures|one for Pokémon Adventures]].

There are many stories and legends surrounding the history of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is not entirely clear if legends are true or not, but there are many hints in the games, anime and manga that suggest that they are.

Please note that the below timeline is based on speculation and possible information from different aspects of the Pokémon franchise.

==Timeline==
===Beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}===
This information is based primarily on [[Sinnoh myths|the mythology]] of both the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|290px|Palkia, Giratina and Dialga]]
* In a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} comes into being, which then hatches into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon in existence. Arceus then creates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, giving them power over {{wp|time}}, {{wp|space}}, and {{wp|antimatter}} respectively. Giratina, as punishment for its destructive nature, is sent by Arceus to live in the [[Distortion World]]. Dialga and Palkia then succeed in creating the universe and [[Pokémon world]] and retreat into their own [[dimensions]] afterwards, with a point of access being at the ancient [[Spear Pillar]] in Sinnoh.

* Arceus creates {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, giving knowledge, emotion, and willpower to all living things that come into existence in the Pokémon world. The three dive into caves at the bottom of [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] in Sinnoh, giving them the name "[[lake guardians]]".

* {{p|Kyogre}} is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, {{p|Groudon}} is formed deep inside the Earth, likely from hardened magma and earth, and {{p|Rayquaza}} is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer. Rayquaza proceeds to fly around in the ozone layer, occasionally coming to rest at [[Sky Pillar]].

*Kyogre and Groudon then proceed to fill the sea and create land, respectively. A chance meeting turns the two into rivals, and a conflict for dominance over the Pokémon world begins. This battle continues until Rayquaza quells it, causing Kyogre and Groudon to retreat to special caverns, where they {{m|rest}} until the events of [[Generation III]] many years later. The {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s are created to prevent the reawakening of Kyogre and Groudon, and are left at [[Mt. Pyre]] for safekeeping. At this time, {{p|Mew}} may have been plentiful and lived in large numbers.
[[File:Regis.png|thumb|200px|The Legendary Golems: Regice, Registeel and Regirock]]

* Landmasses such as [[Mt. Coronet]] are created, and {{p|Regigigas}} moves the continents, forming the regions, and created the three golems- {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} out of clay, ice, and magma, respectively.

* The [[Sinnoh]] region is created around Mt. Coronet. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] is created due to shifts in the crust of the world and {{p|Heatran}} is formed in a pool of lava. Arceus creates the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb|Adamant}}, {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Lustrous Orb|Lustrous}}, and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}s before falling into a deep slumber.

===Prehistory===
This information is based primarily on the study of [[Fossil]]s and other archaeological remains. Some of this information is also based on scientific research.

'''Millions of years before [[Generation I]]:'''

* The earliest known [[Fossil|prehistoric Pokémon]] existed at this time. It is possible that the Mew population may have decreased at this stage, as they slowly gave way to other Pokémon species. The first humans also appeared around this time.

* 300 million years ago: An ancient version of {{p|Genesect}} was born. {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}} lived in the sea.
**Team Plasma later used its DNA to create an infinitely stronger version of {{p|Genesect}} with cybernetic technology.

* 100 million years ago: Species such as {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Lileep}}, {{p|Cranidos}}, {{p|Shieldon}}, {{p|Tirtouga}}, and {{p|Archen}} were supposedly widespread. They all ultimately went extinct, but not before Archen gave rise to bird Pokémon and Tirtouga gave rise to turtle Pokémon.
** A [[Root Fossil|fossil]] is found millions of years later in Hoenn and revived scientifically by the [[Devon Corporation]].

* 10,000 years ago: During the last Ice Age, the {{p|Mamoswine}} population flourished, then decreased when the Ice Age ended.

* At some point in the distant past, the {{p|Magikarp}} population mutates due to unknown reasons and becomes weaker.

* At some point after the Iron Age, Regigigas is sealed away in the Snowpoint Temple, and Regirock, Regice and Registeel are sealed away at various points across the [[Hoenn]] region after years of human worship.

'''3000 years before [[Generation V]]:'''

* The [[Valuable item#Undella Town|Relic items]] are created.

'''3000 years before [[Generation VI]]:'''

* (''Timeline pre-Generation VI'') The Kalos does not occur, the ultimate weapon is not created, and [[Mega Evolution]] is not widely discovered, and may not even be possible.
* (''Timeline post Generation VI'') The Kalos war occurred, the ultimate weapon was created underneath [[Geosenge Town]], and AZ was given eternal life. This sets a chain of events into motion that leads to the discovery of [[Mega Evolution]].

'''2500 years before [[Generation V]]:'''

* The [[Relic Castle]] is built.

'''1500 years before [[Generation I]]:'''

* The earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Ruins]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]].
Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the writing system, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection.

* The {{p|Farfetch'd}} population decreases due to overhunting.

'''1000 years before [[Generation VI]]:'''

* {{p|Xerneas}} went to sleep in the form of a tree.

A revived Team Rocket, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] as they proceed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact Giovanni, their former leader. They are defeated, and the new leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Ethan/Kris/Lyra continues to gather Johto's Badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto. After defeating the Elite Four and their Champion, Lance, Ethan/Kris/Lyra then heads to the Kanto region to challenge its eight Gyms, which have changed from three years prior. After gaining all eight of their Badges, for a total of sixteen, [[Professor Oak]] declares him/her ready to travel to Mt. Silver, where he/she meets and challenges {{ga|Red}}.
** {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon like the recently reported red Gyarados in the nearest of [[Sinnoh]]'s lakes, [[Lake Verity]].

Along the way, however, Lucas/Dawn is brought into many conflicts with [[Team Galactic]], whose leader, [[Cyrus]], wishes to remake the entire universe in his image with the powers of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Defeating the team and calming {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}/{{P|Giratina}}, Lucas/Dawn challenges Sinnoh's Elite Four and Champion, [[Cynthia]], and becomes Champion him/herself.
* [[Hayley]], a friend of Bebe, opens up a [[My Pokémon Ranch|Pokémon Ranch]].

** {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}} along with their friends [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] receive their very first Pokémon in the bedroom of {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}'s house in [[Nuvema Town]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. The three decide to leave Nuvema Town and go on a journey across their region of [[Unova]], with Cheren wanting to learn as much about every kind of Pokémon possible and Bianca going against the wishes of her dad. Upon arriving in [[Accumula Town]] they encounter the nefarious [[Team Plasma]] who announce their plans for Pokémon liberation to separate Pokémon from humans. Hilbert/Hilda then battle Team Plasma's leader, a mysterious man known only as [[N]] who claims Pokémon are his friends. Hilbert/Hilda make a journey across the land of Unova challenging all eight Gyms and earning all eight Badges. After earning the eighth Badge, they travel to the {{un|Pokémon League}} where they defeat the Elite Four. Upon defeating the Elite Four, they discover that N has already defeated the champion [[Alder]] and promptly summons his castle, destroying the Pokémon League Castle. [[Ghetsis]], one of the members of the [[Seven Sages]] reveals that he had the plan to separate people and Pokémon so that he could be the only person in the whole world with Pokémon. After defeating N and Ghetsis with {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} N becomes sorry for all his wrongdoing and flies off to distant lands on his dragon of legend. Hilbert/Hilda, Cheren, and Bianca continue their journey in Unova and get recruited by an undercover officer codenamed [[Looker]] to discover and arrest the remaining six of the Seven Sages. After the arrest of all six, Hilbert/Hilda returns to the Pokémon League, re-defeats the Elite Four, then challenges and defeats Alder, becoming champion of Unova.

* Alder retires as the Champion, and [[Iris]] takes his place.
* Five of the Seven Sages leave Team Plasma, and Ghetsis and [[Zinzolin]] form a new Team Plasma solely dedicated to conquering Unova.
* A landslide seals off {{rt|10|Unova}} and a majority of {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}, forcing another {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}} to be built. Another landslide seals off [[Challenger's Cave]].
* Significant construction occurs in Unova:
** The [[Cold Storage]] in the south of [[Driftveil City]] is replaced by the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
** A section of the mountain near [[Undella Town]] is constructed into a new town called [[Lentimas Town]]
** {{tc|The Riches}} house in Undella Town is demolished, with new villas built in the town.

* {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} moves to [[Vaniville Town]] in [[Kalos]] with their mother.

'''Two years after {{2v2|Black|White}}''':
* The events of {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}:
** {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives his/her first Pokémon from Bianca in his/her hometown of [[Aspertia City]]. Together with [[Hugh]], who hopes to take back his sister's Purrloin from Team Plasma, the duo takes on the new lineup of Gyms in the Unova region. After earning their seventh badge from [[Drayden]], Team Plasma attacks [[Opelucid City]], covering the city in unbreakable ice. The [[Shadow Triad]] takes the opportunity to steal the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} from [[Opelucid Gym]]. Nate/Rosa and Hugh chase Team Plasma to [[Humilau City]], where after earning their final badge, they confront [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad at the [[Giant Chasm]]. After the Triad releases Hugh's sister's Purrloin, now a {{p|Liepard}}, Hugh tells Nate/Rosa to go ahead and confront Team Plasma's leader, Ghetsis. Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving him/her. However, Ghetsis uses Kyurem's power to turn Reshiram/Zekrom back into an orb, then uses the DNA Splicers to turn Kyurem into [[Form differences#Kyurem|Black/White Kyurem]]. Nate/Rosa knocks out Kyurem, causing the two Dragon Pokémon to separate, then defeats an enraged Ghetsis. Thankful, N suggests that Nate/Rosa proceed to the Pokémon League. Heeding his words, Nate/Rosa ascend Victory Road, defeats the Elite Four, and emerges victorious in battle with the new Champion, Iris. After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads him/her to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa. Nate/Rosa climbs to the top of [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and faces {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} again, this time, in an attempt to capture it.
**{{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} leave his/her home in [[Vaniville Town]] meeting [[Shauna]] and {{tt|{{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}}|The player character not chosen.}} who invite them to join them for a meeting in [[Aquacorde Town]]. {{ga|Calem}}, {{ga|Serena}} and [[Shauna]] receive their first Pokémon from [[Tierno]] and a Pokédex from [[Trevor]] on behalf of [[Professor Sycamore]]. After delivering a letter to his/her {{kal|Grace|Mom}} from Professor Sycamore, they head on an adventure traveling across [[Kalos]] challenging eight Gyms in order to earn eight Badges to then challenge the {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Along their journey they come into contact with [[Team Flare]], an organization whose goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money. They try to do this by stealing [[fossils]] from [[Glittering Cave]], siphoning electricity from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], stealing the Pokéballs from the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Laverre City]], and attempting to agitate and capture an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Calem/Serena also encounters a mysterious giant called [[AZ]] on several occasions, first being on [[Kalos Route 13]]. After earning their seventh badge from [[Olympia]], Calem/Serena are contacted by [[Lysandre]], a man introduced by Professor Sycamore, who reveals himself to be the leader of Team Flare and his intention to use the "ultimate weapon" to eliminate all life in the world. Calem/Serena battle Lysandre first in [[Lysandre Labs]] and again in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], before making their way down to the basement where they find {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} and battle them, before battling against Lysandre once more. Even though Lysandre is defeated, and Calem/Serena and their friends reason with him, he still fires the ultimate weapon. The blast the weapon omits destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ, ultimately disbanding Team Flare. Calem/Serena then heads to the Pokémon League where he/she defeats the [[Elite Four]], becoming [[Champion]] of [[Kalos]]. After becoming Champion Looker contacts {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} to help him fight crime in Lumiose City.

==Trivia==
* The chronology of the games was confirmed by [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]] on Twitter in May 2014.<ref>[http://archive.today/D9iPz archive.today] (archived from [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/464052839870787584 the original])</ref>
*In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Zinnia]] suggests the existence of another Hoenn region, indicating a [[wp:multiverse|multiverse]] with parallel timelines.

Mega Evolution

2015-01-16T09:16:10Z

Zeta:

{{redirect|Mega|{{adv|Crystal}}'s {{p|Meganium}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which is known as Mega in [[Chuang Yi]] translations|Megaree}}
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|240px|Blaziken Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a transformation affecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Mega Evolutions are identified by having "Mega" in front of their name.

[[Korrina]], the Gym Leader of [[Shalour City]], is said to know secrets about Mega Evolution. The [[Tower of Mastery]] is also related to Mega Evolution. According to a [[Kalos]] legend, the first Pokémon to have been Mega Evolved was a {{p|Lucario}}. However, according to [[Zinnia]]'s grandmother in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{p|Rayquaza}} was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve; Mega Evolution was first discovered by the first meeting of humanity and Rayquaza.

==Mega Evolving==
[[File:Tretta Mega Evolution icon.png|thumb|150px|The Mega Evolution sigil, as seen in {{g|Tretta}}]]
In order to Mega Evolve, the Pokémon must be holding the appropriate [[Mega Stone]] (with the exception of {{p|Rayquaza}} which is only required to know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}), and its Trainer must have a [[Key Stone]]. [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that even with the Mega Stone and the respective item to resonate with the stone, Mega Evolution cannot be achieved if there is not a strong bond between Trainer and Pokémon.

Once per battle, only a single Pokémon for each Trainer may Mega Evolve. Switching the Mega Evolved Pokémon out will not dissolve a Mega Evolution. A Mega Evolved Pokémon can only revert back to its original state upon [[fainting]] or the conclusion of the battle. If a Mega Evolved Pokémon faints, but is later revived, that Pokémon cannot obtain a Mega Evolved state again for the remaining duration of the battle. Trainers on the same team during a [[Multi Battle]] will each be able to Mega Evolve once during the battle.

Mega Stones cannot be taken via {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Trick}}, or {{m|Switcheroo}}. Abilities such as {{a|Magician}} and {{a|Pickpocket}} will fail to snatch the Mega Stone from its holder and Pokémon with {{a|Klutz}} are able to use their respective Mega Stone. If used by the holder, moves such as {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Switcheroo}} will always fail. {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} also have no effect, and will not prevent a Pokémon from using its Mega Stone to Mega Evolve. Using {{m|Knock Off}} against a Pokémon holding its respective Mega Stone will not remove the item, nor will Knock Off's added effect of increased power on the turn it removes an item be granted. Likewise, Mega Stones also cannot be given to or taken by their respective species using any of the aforementioned moves or abilities.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve while shifting position in a Triple Battle, nor during the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve; even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn, the Mega Evolution will occur regardless.

Performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order, so a Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards. All other stat changes and type changes of a Mega Evolution will take effect immediately and damage calculation will proceed as usual. (A Pokémon whose Mega Evolution possesses a lower Defense stat, for example, will take greater damage from Physical attacks on the turn of Mega Evolving.)

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will also take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} with {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, Mega Sharpedo's ability.

Mega Evolution can also occur during [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]] in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
{{left clear}}

==Effects==
A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon except for Mega Alakazam has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form. Mega Alakazam only has a base stat total 90 points higher than its total as Alakazam (but its base stat total is 100 higher than that of Alakazam prior to Generation VI, as it gained 10 points in Special Defense between Generations V and VI).

The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Mewtwo}} (both forms), and {{p|Charizard}} (X form) appear as trophies in the Wii U version, while only Mega Venusaur and Blastoise appear in the 3DS version.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{p|Lucario}} was seen Mega Evolving in the announcement trailer. How it operates is not known at this time.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
Mega Evolutions are set to play a role in this game. Though how they are triggered is unknown at this time, once it activates, each of the indicated species' pieces will change to a special piece according to the species.

==In the TCG==
Mega Evolution is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} expansion as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn.

{{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}} tend to have much higher HP and more powerful attacks than regular {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}}. Currently, all of them have exactly one attack. Uniquely, the artwork of {{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}} feature their attack's name printed in a stylized design on the card as part of the artwork itself. This name is displayed in Japanese, except for Japanese and Korean cards where the name is displayed in English. (Some special Japanese UR variant cards keep the name printed in Japanese instead of English.)

Like all {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}}, a player who defeats a {{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}} takes two Prize Cards instead of one.

==In the anime==
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|250px|thumb|Mega Blaziken in the anime]]

===In the main series===
Several Mega Evolutions have been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in ''[[SS026|Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} was shown being capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y form, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the games, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]].

Another Mega Evolution was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. The Mega Blaziken and its Trainer appeared again in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', helping Ash and {{ashfr}} to destroy one of [[Team Rocket's mechas]].

A couple of Mega Evolutions, including a Mega {{p|Ampharos}}, appeared as silhouettes in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' while [[Professor Sycamore]] told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.

In ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution I]]'', a protagonist named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the Kalos region with his Mega {{p|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.

All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned [[side story episode|special episode]].

[[Diantha]]'s Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', using its Mega Evolution powers to break free from {{TRT}}'s binds.

Korrina has a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} that can Mega Evolve, and so does her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], as shown in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''. In ''[[XY049|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a Key Stone, while his Lucario discovered a Lucarionite, leading to the first known Mega Evolution.

A Trainer named [[Mabel]] and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]''.

{{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.

[[Steven Stone]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared in [[SS031]], as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}.

The intro of the aforementioned special episode also featured all {{DL|Mega Evolution|Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly revealed Mega Evolutions}}.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Red Mega Charizard X PO.png|250px|thumb|left|Mega Charizard X in Pokémon Origins]]
{{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s Charizard was shown Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'' during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, thanks to the Charizardite X and Key Stone given to him by [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[PO02|an earlier episode]].

==In the manga==

[[File:Korrina Mega Lucario Adventures.png|150px|thumb|left|Mega Lucario in the Pokémon Adventures manga]]
===In the Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King manga===
In [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Mega Evolution was first presented in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga in the {{chap|X & Y}}. When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.

When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{p|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.

While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a {{DL|Mega Stone|Manectite}}, evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.

In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}} {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}} and {{adv|Emerald}} are learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from Ultima.
{{right clear}}

==Trivia==
* Every [[type]] has at least one Mega Evolution: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with {{tt|nine|Ten if one counts Mewtwo's two Mega Evolutions as separate}}), while {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} have the fewest (with two each).
* At least one Pokémon from every [[generation]] is capable of Mega Evolving: [[Generation III]] has the most (with twenty), while Generations {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}} have the least (with one each).
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolving.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780}}, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any Pokémon.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
* {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
* {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} are the only two Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
** In addition, both of their Y versions both kept their original type, while both of their X versions changed their type.
* {{p|Rayquaza}} is the only Pokémon that requires no [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon who can legally have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
* Zinnia states that there exists an alternate version of the Pokémon world where the ancient war in Kalos never happened, and Mega Evolution was never discovered, implying that [[Generation VI]] actually takes place in a different continuity or timeline from Generations I-V.

A '''Mega Stone''' (Japanese: '''メガストーン''' ''Mega Stone'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. It allows Pokémon to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. According to [[Professor Sycamore]], Mega Stones are the results of [[Evolutionary stones]] being irradiated by the power of the Legendary Pokemon {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}} or {{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], it has been revealed that Mega Stones are also periodically created from meteorites that fall down from the sky in a form of green light.

==Mechanics==
During battle, the player can use their [[Key Stone]]-activating item, the Mega Ring{{sup/6|XY}}/Mega Bracelet{{sup/6|ORAS}} to Mega Evolve a Pokémon before it attacks if it is holding the correct Mega Stone. Mega Stones only affect Pokémon during battles, and Pokémon will revert back to their basic form once the battle has ended or upon fainting. All Pokémon that can undergo Mega Evolution have an equivalent Mega Stone that is named after them, except for {{p|Rayquaza}}, which instead needs to know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}} to Mega Evolve.

Mega Stones cannot be transferred to or from the correct holder during battle: {{m|Thief}} and {{m|Covet}} do not take the Mega Stone, {{m|Knock Off}} does not remove the Mega Stone, {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Switcheroo}} fail, {{m|Fling}} and {{m|Bestow}} fail, and {{a|Symbiosis}} does not activate. {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} also cannot prevent the use of Mega Stones to Mega Evolve Pokémon. Mega Stones are not consumed upon use, but only one Pokémon can Mega Evolve per battle.

==Availability==
In {{g|X and Y}}, all Mega Stones not directly given or sold to the player can only be found between 8 and 8:59 p.m. after [[Professor Sycamore]] has upgraded the player's Mega Ring to detect them. These Mega Stones do not appear as item balls in the overworld; rather, they appear as sparkles on the ground.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mega Stones on the ground appear as sparkles, like in Pokémon X and Y. Many Mega Stones that can be found in locations the player can already access will not appear until the player defeats or captures {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Some can only being obtained through certain requirements like clearing all the Master Ranks in the [[Pokémon Contests|Pokémon Contests Spectacular]] and then defeating [[Lisia]] in one of the Master Rank Contest to receive the Lucarionite and receiving the Garchompite from [[Aarune]] after achieving Platinum Rank in [[Secret Base|Super-Secret Base]] by collecting 1,000 Flags.

The stone for {{p|Blaziken}}, the Blazikenite, cannot be found through normal gameplay in X and Y . However, it can be obtained via special distributions and trading. The stone for {{p|Diancie}}, the Diancite also cannot be obtain through normal gameplay in Omega and Alpha Sapphire. However, the stone can be obtained by transferring a or trading Diancie from [[Pokémon X and Y]] to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], activating an event in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire that will allow the Diancite to be obtained.

==In the anime==
[[File:Siebold Blastoise.png|thumb|[[Siebold]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} wearing its Blastoisinite]]
===In the main series===
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon wear Mega Stones using equipment similar to that which their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use to hold their [[Key Stone]]s. The equipment disappears while the Pokémon is in its Mega Evolved state.

Mega Stones were first mentioned in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', where [[Professor Sycamore]] told {{Ash}} that a "special stone" is required to trigger Mega Evolution, referring to Mega Stones.

Mega Stones made their first physical appearance in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. The seen Mega Stones were [[Alain]]'s Charizardite X, [[Astrid]]'s Absolite, [[Remo]]'s Garchompite, [[Siebold]]'s Blastoisinite, and an unknown orange Mega Stone found by Alain from ancient ruins. In addition, a Lucarionite was seen in a painting shown to Alain by Professor Sycamore in a flashback, featuring the first ever Mega Evolution. Astrid's Absolite made a brief reappearance during the opening credits of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

[[Diantha]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}'s Gardevoirite appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''. The Embrace Pokémon was shown carrying its Mega Stone in a necklace around its neck.

A Lucarionite made an appearance in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]'', where it was found by [[Korrina]] in a cave near [[Geosenge Town]]. After battling a {{p|Blaziken}} guarding the Lucarionite—which was afterwards revealed to belong to Korrina's grandfather, [[Gurkinn]]—Korrina obtained the Mega Stone and used it to Mega Evolve her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. The uncut Lucarionite was later set in an armband by [[McGinty]], allowing Lucario to wear the Mega Stone.

Another Lucarionite appeared in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'' under the ownership of Gurkinn. Much like Korrina's Lucario, Gurkinn's Lucario also wears its Lucarionite in an armband on its left wrist.

A Mawilite appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', worn by [[Mabel]]'s {{p|Mawile}} in a piece of jewelry placed at the foot of its head jaws.

{{Steven}}'s {{Shiny}} {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}'s Metagrossite appeared in [[SS031]], wearing it as a large bracelet on its right foreleg. An Ampharosite was also seen in a flashback in the same episode, having been found by Lysandre before Alain could get his hands on it.

===In Pokémon Origins===
In the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'', [[Mr. Fuji]] gave {{OBP|Red|Origins}} a Mega Stone and a Key Stone, although he did not tell Red what they truly were, saying that he would find out soon enough. In ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, one of the stones was revealed to be a Charizardite X from Kalos. Together, it and the Key Stone triggered Red's {{p|Charizard}}'s Mega Evolution, allowing it to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X and weaken Mewtwo enough to be caught.

[[File:Diantha Gardevoir Adventures.png|thumb|200px|[[Diantha]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}} wearing its Gardevoirite in the Pokémon Adventures manga]]
===In the Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King manga===
In [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]], as the story of the manga is centred around Mega Evolution, several characters have Mega Stones. {{OBP|Akira|LDK}} owns both a Charizardite X and a Charizardite Y, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}} owns a Garchompite and [[Taichi]] has an Ampharosite.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|X}}'s [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga]] own a Kangaskhanite, which allows Li'l Kanga to Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan.

Like in the games, [[Korrina]]'s Lucario owns a Lucarionite, allowing it to Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario.

[[Gurkinn]]'s {{p|Heracross}} wears its Heracronite around its head.

[[Diantha]]'s Gardevoir has been shown wearing its Gardevoirite around its head.

[[Lysandre]] owns a Gyaradosite for his {{p|Gyarados}} but is currently unable to Mega Evolve it.

[[Clemont]] has an {{p|Electrike}} which evolved into a {{p|Manectric}} searching for its Mega Stone, which it eventually joined X's team after a Team Flare Grunt ambushed the group and stole the Manectite.

*The Aggronite and Houndoominite are only obtainable in Pokémon Y, despite {{p|Aron}}, {{p|Houndour}}, and their evolutions being exclusive to Pokémon X.
*The design of the Mega Stones appear to be based on a common pattern found in the glass ''{{wp|marble (toy)|marble}}'' called a toothpaste marble.

A '''Mega Stone''' (Japanese: '''メガストーン''' ''Mega Stone'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. It allows Pokémon to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. According to [[Professor Sycamore]], Mega Stones are the results of [[Evolutionary stones]] being irradiated by the power of the Legendary Pokemon {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}} or {{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], it has been revealed that Mega Stones are also periodically created from meteorites that falls down from the sky in a form of green light.

==Mechanics==
During battle, the player can use their [[Key Stone]]-activating item, the Mega Ring{{sup/6|XY}}/Mega Bracelet{{sup/6|ORAS}} to Mega Evolve a Pokémon before it attacks if it is holding the correct Mega Stone. Mega Stones only affect Pokémon during battles, and Pokémon will revert back to their basic form once the battle has ended or upon fainting. All Pokémon that can undergo Mega Evolution have an equivalent Mega Stone that is named after them, except for {{p|Rayquaza}}, which instead needs to know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}} to Mega Evolve.

Mega Stones cannot be transferred to or from the correct holder during battle: {{m|Thief}} and {{m|Covet}} do not take the Mega Stone, {{m|Knock Off}} does not remove the Mega Stone, {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Switcheroo}} fail, {{m|Fling}} and {{m|Bestow}} fail, and {{a|Symbiosis}} does not activate. {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} also cannot prevent the use of Mega Stones to Mega Evolve Pokémon. Mega Stones are not consumed upon use, but only one Pokémon can Mega Evolve per battle.

==Availability==
In {{g|X and Y}}, all Mega Stones not directly given or sold to the player can only be found between 8 and 8:59 p.m. after [[Professor Sycamore]] has upgraded the player's Mega Ring to detect them. These Mega Stones do not appear as item balls in the overworld; rather, they appear as sparkles on the ground.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mega Stones on the ground appear as sparkles, like in Pokémon X and Y. Many Mega Stones that can be found in locations the player can already access will not appear until the player defeats or captures {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Some can only being obtained through certain requirements like clearing all the Master Ranks in the [[Pokémon Contests|Pokémon Contests Spectacular]] and then defeating [[Lisia]] in one of the Master Rank Contest to receive the Lucarionite and receiving the Garchompite from [[Aarune]] after achieving Platinum Rank in [[Secret Base|Super-Secret Base]] by collecting 1,000 Flags.

The stone for {{p|Blaziken}}, the Blazikenite, cannot be found through normal gameplay in X and Y . However, it can be obtained via special distributions and trading. The stone for {{p|Diancie}}, the Diancite also cannot be obtain through normal gameplay in Omega and Alpha Sapphire. However, the stone can be obtained by transferring a or trading Diancie from [[Pokémon X and Y]] to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], activating an event in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire that will allow the Diancite to be obtained.

==In the anime==
[[File:Siebold Blastoise.png|thumb|[[Siebold]]'s {{p|Blastoise}} wearing its Blastoisinite]]
===In the main series===
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon wear Mega Stones using equipment similar to that which their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use to hold their [[Key Stone]]s. The equipment disappears while the Pokémon is in its Mega Evolved state.

Mega Stones were first mentioned in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', where [[Professor Sycamore]] told {{Ash}} that a "special stone" is required to trigger Mega Evolution, referring to Mega Stones.

Mega Stones made their first physical appearance in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. The seen Mega Stones were [[Alain]]'s Charizardite X, [[Astrid]]'s Absolite, [[Remo]]'s Garchompite, [[Siebold]]'s Blastoisinite, and an unknown orange Mega Stone found by Alain from ancient ruins. In addition, a Lucarionite was seen in a painting shown to Alain by Professor Sycamore in a flashback, featuring the first ever Mega Evolution. Astrid's Absolite made a brief reappearance during the opening credits of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

[[Diantha]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}'s Gardevoirite appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]''. The Embrace Pokémon was shown carrying its Mega Stone in a necklace around its neck.

A Lucarionite made an appearance in ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]'', where it was found by [[Korrina]] in a cave near [[Geosenge Town]]. After battling a {{p|Blaziken}} guarding the Lucarionite—which was afterwards revealed to belong to Korrina's grandfather, [[Gurkinn]]—Korrina obtained the Mega Stone and used it to Mega Evolve her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. The uncut Lucarionite was later set in an armband by [[McGinty]], allowing Lucario to wear the Mega Stone.

Another Lucarionite appeared in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'' under the ownership of Gurkinn. Much like Korrina's Lucario, Gurkinn's Lucario also wears its Lucarionite in an armband on its left wrist.

A Mawilite appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', worn by [[Mabel]]'s {{p|Mawile}} in a piece of jewelry placed at the foot of its head jaws.

{{Steven}}'s {{Shiny}} {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}'s Metagrossite appeared in [[SS031]], wearing it as a large bracelet on its right foreleg. An Ampharosite was also seen in a flashback in the same episode, having been found by Lysandre before Alain could get his hands on it.

===In Pokémon Origins===
In the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'', [[Mr. Fuji]] gave {{OBP|Red|Origins}} a Mega Stone and a Key Stone, although he did not tell Red what they truly were, saying that he would find out soon enough. In ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, one of the stones was revealed to be a Charizardite X from Kalos. Together, it and the Key Stone triggered Red's {{p|Charizard}}'s Mega Evolution, allowing it to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X and weaken Mewtwo enough to be caught.

==In the manga==
[[File:Diantha Gardevoir Adventures.png|thumb|200px|[[Diantha]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}} wearing its Gardevoirite in the Pokémon Adventures manga]]
===In the Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King manga===
In [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]], as the story of the manga is centred around Mega Evolution, several characters have Mega Stones. {{OBP|Akira|LDK}} owns both a Charizardite X and a Charizardite Y, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}} owns a Garchompite and [[Taichi]] has an Ampharosite.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|X}}'s [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga]] own a Kangaskhanite, which allows Li'l Kanga to Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan.

Like in the games, [[Korrina]]'s Lucario owns a Lucarionite, allowing it to Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario.

[[Gurkinn]]'s {{p|Heracross}} wears its Heracronite around its head.

[[Diantha]]'s Gardevoir has been shown wearing its Gardevoirite around its head.

[[Lysandre]] owns a Gyaradosite for his {{p|Gyarados}} but is currently unable to Mega Evolve it.

[[Clemont]] has an {{p|Electrike}} which evolved into a {{p|Manectric}} searching for its Mega Stone, which it eventually joined X's team after a Team Flare Grunt ambushed the group and stole the Manectite.

'''Team Aqua''' (Japanese: '''アクア{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Aqua-dan'', literally ''Aqua Gang'') is one of two [[villainous teams]] found in the [[Hoenn]] region, alongside their rivals, [[Team Magma]]. Team Aqua's ultimate goal is to expand the amount of water in the world by awakening {{p|Kyogre}}.

==In the games==
Team Aqua appears only in the Hoenn-based games {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as their remakes [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], where they scheme to bring Kyogre out of its slumber.

Generally, {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s have weaker Pokémon, with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Poochyena}} plentiful among them, however, they also use Pokémon of other types; typically they are {{t|Water}} types such as {{p|Carvanha}} (and {{p|Wailmer}} in Emerald). The team is headed by [[Archie]] and his two immediate subordinates [[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]] and [[Shelly]].

===In Sapphire===
Though they are first encountered early in the game, their first major plot is to use the {{key|III|Meteorite}} to cease the eruption of [[Mt. Chimney]], which would cause rainwater to fill the cooled-down crater. When this is thwarted by the {{player}}, they set themselves up in [[Lilycove City]]'s cove, planning their next moves. Their final action in the storyline is to steal a submarine from {{ci|Slateport}} harbor, which they use to travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}, where Kyogre awaits. Kyogre, however, is not able to be controlled, and leaves for the [[Cave of Origin]] in [[Sootopolis City]] where it must be captured by the player or defeated.

===In Ruby===
Team Aqua is relegated to a supporting role in Ruby, with [[Team Magma]] instead performing the same actions (with different reasoning) and awakening {{p|Groudon}} instead.

===In Emerald===
Team Aqua's deeds are partly the same in {{game|Emerald}} as they are in Sapphire, with them stealing the sub to obtain Kyogre. After awakening Kyogre and seeing Kyogre and Groudon clash together, both Team Magma's Maxie and Team Aqua's Archie realize what they've done has caused a terrible disaster, and make peace with one another after {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} have been taken care of by {{p|Rayquaza}}.

===In Alpha Sapphire===
In Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Team Aqua's role in the story remains largely the same but their motivation has been significantly altered. While in the original versions of Ruby and Sapphire Team Aquasaw a world with more seas as ideal for ''both'' Pokémon ''and'' humans, in Alpha Sapphire Team Aqua wishes to expand the sea to wipe out human civilization so that Pokémon can live untainted by humanity's progress. This puts them in direct opposition to Team Magma, who in this version of the story believe that the land must be expanded to progress human living conditions.

==In the anime==
Team Aqua was introduced in ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'' where a member of the team infiltrated the [[Devon Corporation]] and stole two capsules of "Creation Fluid". His plans were stopped by Team Rocket's Jessie and James, who intended to steal the same thing, all parties involved not realizing that "Creation Fluid" was nothing more than water. In ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'', this same member took a boat of [[Mr. Briney]]'s to escape from the police and headed for open ocean, where a Team Aqua submarine rescued him. This particular grunt is voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] in English.

Team Aqua later appeared in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]'' and ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''. Their final, and most prominent appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', when they and Team Magma began the battle between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Team Aqua's goal was to create more sea in the Hoenn region, making them bitter enemies of Team Magma, whose goal it was to expand the amount of land in Hoenn. In order to accomplish their goal, the decided to capture Kyogre, a legendary water Pokémon that had been sleeping in the Seafloor Cavern for centuries after a massive collision with the legendary {{p|Groudon}}. After Team Aqua's plans were thwarted by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, Archie went insane because he had bonded with the orbs, trying to destroy everything in his way with Maxie. Their plans were again foiled by Ruby and Sapphire.

Unlike Team Magma's administrators, Team Aqua's administrators, also known as the [[Subleaders of the Sea Scheme]], seem to pay more respect for their leader than their Team Magma counterparts, following his orders as explicitly as they can. Team Aqua also had an influence on the media, as Archie was the director of Hoenn TV. This way, they could cover up their own schemes while airing anti-Team Magma propaganda.

==In the TCG==
Team Aqua is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. Their ambitions and specialties here reflect the other media they appear in. Unlike [[Team Rocket]], which initially featured {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} as an emphasis for their status as a villainous team, evolved Pokémon belonging to Team Aqua are dual {{ct|Darkness}}. This mechanic would also be used on subsequent Team Rocket-related Pokémon in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion.

'''Team Aqua''' (Japanese: '''アクア{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Aqua-dan'', literally ''Aqua Gang'') is one of two [[villainous teams]] found in the [[Hoenn]] region, alongside their rivals, [[Team Magma]]. Team Aqua's ultimate goal is to expand the amount of water in the world by awakening {{p|Kyogre}}.

==In the games==
Team Aqua appears only in the Hoenn-based games {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as their remakes [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], where they scheme to bring Kyogre out of its slumber.

Generally, {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s have weaker Pokémon, with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Poochyena}} plentiful among them, however, they also use Pokémon of other types; typically they are {{t|Water}} types such as {{p|Carvanha}} (and {{p|Wailmer}} in Emerald). The team is headed by [[Archie]] and his two immediate subordinates [[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]] and [[Shelly]].

===In Sapphire===
Though they are first encountered early in the game, their first major plot is to use the {{key|III|Meteorite}} to cease the eruption of [[Mt. Chimney]], which would cause rainwater to fill the cooled-down crater. When this is thwarted by the {{player}}, they set themselves up in [[Lilycove City]]'s cove, planning their next moves. Their final action in the storyline is to steal a submarine from {{ci|Slateport}} harbor, which they use to travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}, where Kyogre awaits. Kyogre, however, is not able to be controlled, and leaves for the [[Cave of Origin]] in [[Sootopolis City]] where it must be captured by the player or defeated.

===In Ruby===
Team Aqua is relegated to a supporting role in Ruby, with [[Team Magma]] instead performing the same actions (with different reasoning) and awakening {{p|Groudon}} instead.

===In Emerald===
Team Aqua's deeds are partly the same in {{game|Emerald}} as they are in Sapphire, with them stealing the sub to obtain Kyogre. After awakening Kyogre and seeing Kyogre and Groudon clash together, both Team Magma's Maxie and Team Aqua's Archie realize what they've done has caused a terrible disaster, and make peace with one another after {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} have been taken care of by {{p|Rayquaza}}.

===In Alpha Sapphire===
In Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Team Magma's role in the story remains largely the same but their motivation has been significantly altered. While in the original versions of Ruby and Sapphire Team Magma saw a world with more seaas idea for ''both'' Pokémon ''and'' humans, in Alpha Sapphire Team Aqua wishes to expand the sea to wipe out human civilization so that Pokémon can live untainted by humanity's progress. This puts them in direct opposition to Team Magma, who in this version of the story believe that the land must be expanded to progress human living conditions.

==In the anime==
Team Aqua was introduced in ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'' where a member of the team infiltrated the [[Devon Corporation]] and stole two capsules of "Creation Fluid". His plans were stopped by Team Rocket's Jessie and James, who intended to steal the same thing, all parties involved not realizing that "Creation Fluid" was nothing more than water. In ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'', this same member took a boat of [[Mr. Briney]]'s to escape from the police and headed for open ocean, where a Team Aqua submarine rescued him. This particular grunt is voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] in English.

Team Aqua later appeared in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme]]'' and ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''. Their final, and most prominent appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', when they and Team Magma began the battle between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Team Aqua's goal was to create more sea in the Hoenn region, making them bitter enemies of Team Magma, whose goal it was to expand the amount of land in Hoenn. In order to accomplish their goal, the decided to capture Kyogre, a legendary water Pokémon that had been sleeping in the Seafloor Cavern for centuries after a massive collision with the legendary {{p|Groudon}}. After Team Aqua's plans were thwarted by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, Archie went insane because he had bonded with the orbs, trying to destroy everything in his way with Maxie. Their plans were again foiled by Ruby and Sapphire.

Unlike Team Magma's administrators, Team Aqua's administrators, also known as the [[Subleaders of the Sea Scheme]], seem to pay more respect for their leader than their Team Magma counterparts, following his orders as explicitly as they can. Team Aqua also had an influence on the media, as Archie was the director of Hoenn TV. This way, they could cover up their own schemes while airing anti-Team Magma propaganda.

==In the TCG==
Team Aqua is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. Their ambitions and specialties here reflect the other media they appear in. Unlike [[Team Rocket]], which initially featured {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} as an emphasis for their status as a villainous team, evolved Pokémon belonging to Team Aqua are dual {{ct|Darkness}}. This mechanic would also be used on subsequent Team Rocket-related Pokémon in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion.

'''Team Magma''' (Japanese: '''マグマ{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Magma-dan'', literally ''Magma Gang'') is one of two [[villainous teams]] found in the [[Hoenn]] region, alongside their rivals, [[Team Aqua]]. Team Magma's ultimate goal is to expand the amount of landmass in the world by awakening {{p|Groudon}}.

==In the games==
Team Magma appears only in the Hoenn-based games {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as their remakes [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], where they scheme to bring Groudon out of its slumber.

Generally, {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s have weaker Pokémon, with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Poochyena}} plentiful among them, however, they also use Pokémon of other types; typically they are {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon such as {{p|Numel}} (and {{p|Baltoy}} in Emerald). The team is headed by [[Maxie]] and his two immediate subordinates [[Tabitha]] and [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]].

===In Ruby===
Though they are first encountered early in the game, their first major plot is to use a {{key|III|Meteorite}} to cause [[Mt. Chimney]] to erupt and expand the land. When this is thwarted by the {{player}}, they set themselves up in [[Lilycove City]]'s cove, planning their next moves. Their final action in the storyline is to steal a submarine from {{ci|Slateport}} harbor, which they use to travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}, where Groudon awaits. Groudon, however, is not able to be controlled, and leaves for the [[Cave of Origin]] in [[Sootopolis City]] where it must be captured by the player or defeated.

===In Sapphire===
Team Magma is relegated to a supporting role in Sapphire, with [[Team Aqua]] instead performing the same actions (with different reasoning) and awakening {{p|Kyogre}} instead.

===In Emerald===
Team Magma's deeds are partly the same in {{game|Emerald}} as they are in Ruby and Sapphire, with the plot to cause Mt. Chimney's eruption featured, as well as a new plot to steal rocket fuel from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. Groudon is eventually awakened deep within a cavern [[Team Magma Hideout|used by Team Magma]] deep inside of Mt. Chimney. Both Team Magma's Maxie and Team Aqua's Archie realize what they've done has caused a terrible disaster, and make peace with one another after Groudon and Kyogre have been taken care of by {{p|Rayquaza}}.

===In Omega Ruby===
In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Team Magma's role in the story remains largely the same but their motivation has been significantly altered. While in the original versions of Ruby and Sapphire Team Magma saw a world with more landmass as idea for ''both'' Pokémon ''and'' humans, in Omega Ruby Team Magma wishes to expand the land to give humanity more space on which to build and develop civilization. This puts them in direct opposition to Team Aqua, who in this version of the story believe that the sea must be expanded to wipe out human civilization so that Pokémon may live without interference.

==In the anime==
Like Team Rocket, Team Magma appeared in the [[AG002|second episode]] of [[Advanced Generation series|their own series]], however, their rivals in Team Aqua did not make an appearance until several episodes later. Much of the time, their focus was on uncovering clues about the location of {{p|Groudon}}, however, in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'' and ''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite!]]'', they came into confrontation with Team Aqua. This happened as well as in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where their feud ended in a large and destructive fight between the two super-ancient Pokémon they chased.

Unlike Giovanni, [[Maxie]] himself never so much as picked up a Poké Ball, instead allowing his underlings to do the fighting for him. [[Tabitha]] generally oversaw the activities of the team, while [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] did not appear at all. [[Brodie]] infiltrated many places as a master of disguise, however, it is unknown whether his rank is above that of a Grunt or not. Formerly, [[Butler]] from ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' worked as a scientist for Team Magma, intending to resurrect a Groudon from a Fossil, but was fired when he was unable to bring the project to fruition.

Like in the games, they use both {{type|Dark}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, even those not necessarily in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]]. Brodie's team includes a {{p|Ditto}}, complimenting his nature. Team Magma seems to be very much organized; respect is always shown to those of higher rank, while Maxie's orders are always heeded.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Team Magma's goal is to increase the landmass of the Hoenn region; because of this they have a bitter rivarly with Team Aqua. To reach their goal they aim at capturing Groudon, the land Pokémon that had been sleeping in the Seafloor Cavern for a long time, after its battle with [[Kyogre]], the water Pokémon. Their plans were foiled by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}. After his plans becoming unsuccessful, Maxie went insane because he had bonded with the orbs and stated to destroy the Hoenn region with Archie. His plans were again foiled by Ruby and Sapphire.

In the manga Team Magma appears much less organized than their game and anime counterparts. The administrators instead number as three, with Courtney and Tabitha joined by [[Blaise]] to comprise the [[Three Fires]], with Maxie as their only superior. Unlike the anime and games, in Pokémon Adventures, the Three Fires are seen to be allowed to carry out Maxie's orders in whatever way they see fit, and perhaps as a result of the lack of central leadership, do not show much respect towards Maxie at all.

Unlike in other media where they are shown to have several types of Pokémon, Team Magma members specialize strictly in the {{t|Fire}} type in Pokémon Adventures.

==In the TCG==
Team Magma is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. Their ambitions and specialties here reflect the other media they appear in. Unlike [[Team Rocket]], which initially featured {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} as an emphasis for their status as a villainous team, evolved Pokémon belonging to Team Magma are dual {{ct|Darkness}}. This mechanic would also be used on subsequent Team Rocket-related Pokémon in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion.

'''Team Magma''' (Japanese: '''マグマ{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Magma-dan'', literally ''Magma Gang'') is one of two [[villainous teams]] found in the [[Hoenn]] region, alongside their rivals, [[Team Aqua]]. Team Magma's ultimate goal is to expand the amount of landmass in the world by awakening {{p|Groudon}}.

==In the games==
Team Magma appears only in the Hoenn-based games {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as their remakes [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], where they scheme to bring Groudon out of its slumber.

Generally, {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s have weaker Pokémon, with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Poochyena}} plentiful among them, however, they also use Pokémon of other types; typically they are {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon such as {{p|Numel}} (and {{p|Baltoy}} in Emerald). The team is headed by [[Maxie]] and his two immediate subordinates [[Tabitha]] and [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]].

===In Ruby===
Though they are first encountered early in the game, their first major plot is to use a {{key|III|Meteorite}} to cause [[Mt. Chimney]] to erupt and expand the land. When this is thwarted by the {{player}}, they set themselves up in [[Lilycove City]]'s cove, planning their next moves. Their final action in the storyline is to steal a submarine from {{ci|Slateport}} harbor, which they use to travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}, where Groudon awaits. Groudon, however, is not able to be controlled, and leaves for the [[Cave of Origin]] in [[Sootopolis City]] where it must be captured by the player or defeated.

===In Sapphire===
Team Magma is relegated to a supporting role in Sapphire, with [[Team Aqua]] instead performing the same actions (with different reasoning) and awakening {{p|Kyogre}} instead.

===In Emerald===
Team Magma's deeds are partly the same in {{game|Emerald}} as they are in Ruby and Sapphire, with the plot to cause Mt. Chimney's eruption featured, as well as a new plot to steal rocket fuel from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. Groudon is eventually awakened deep within a cavern [[Team Magma Hideout|used by Team Magma]] deep inside of Mt. Chimney. Both Team Magma's Maxie and Team Aqua's Archie realize what they've done has caused a terrible disaster, and make peace with one another after Groudon and Kyogre have been taken care of by {{p|Rayquaza}}.

===In Omega Ruby===
In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Team Magma's role in the story remains largely the same but their motivation has been significantly altered. While in the original versions Ruby and Sapphire Team Magma saw a world with more landmass as idea for ''both'' Pokémon ''and'' humans, in Omega Ruby Team Magma wishes to expand the land to give humanity more space on which to build and develop civilization. This puts them in direct opposition to Team Aqua, who in this version of the story believe that the sea must be expanded to wipe out human civilization so that Pokémon may live without interference.

==In the anime==
Like Team Rocket, Team Magma appeared in the [[AG002|second episode]] of [[Advanced Generation series|their own series]], however, their rivals in Team Aqua did not make an appearance until several episodes later. Much of the time, their focus was on uncovering clues about the location of {{p|Groudon}}, however, in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'' and ''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite!]]'', they came into confrontation with Team Aqua. This happened as well as in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where their feud ended in a large and destructive fight between the two super-ancient Pokémon they chased.

Unlike Giovanni, [[Maxie]] himself never so much as picked up a Poké Ball, instead allowing his underlings to do the fighting for him. [[Tabitha]] generally oversaw the activities of the team, while [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] did not appear at all. [[Brodie]] infiltrated many places as a master of disguise, however, it is unknown whether his rank is above that of a Grunt or not. Formerly, [[Butler]] from ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' worked as a scientist for Team Magma, intending to resurrect a Groudon from a Fossil, but was fired when he was unable to bring the project to fruition.

Like in the games, they use both {{type|Dark}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, even those not necessarily in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]]. Brodie's team includes a {{p|Ditto}}, complimenting his nature. Team Magma seems to be very much organized; respect is always shown to those of higher rank, while Maxie's orders are always heeded.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Team Magma's goal is to increase the landmass of the Hoenn region; because of this they have a bitter rivarly with Team Aqua. To reach their goal they aim at capturing Groudon, the land Pokémon that had been sleeping in the Seafloor Cavern for a long time, after its battle with [[Kyogre]], the water Pokémon. Their plans were foiled by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}. After his plans becoming unsuccessful, Maxie went insane because he had bonded with the orbs and stated to destroy the Hoenn region with Archie. His plans were again foiled by Ruby and Sapphire.

In the manga Team Magma appears much less organized than their game and anime counterparts. The administrators instead number as three, with Courtney and Tabitha joined by [[Blaise]] to comprise the [[Three Fires]], with Maxie as their only superior. Unlike the anime and games, in Pokémon Adventures, the Three Fires are seen to be allowed to carry out Maxie's orders in whatever way they see fit, and perhaps as a result of the lack of central leadership, do not show much respect towards Maxie at all.

Unlike in other media where they are shown to have several types of Pokémon, Team Magma members specialize strictly in the {{t|Fire}} type in Pokémon Adventures.

==In the TCG==
Team Magma is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. Their ambitions and specialties here reflect the other media they appear in. Unlike [[Team Rocket]], which initially featured {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} as an emphasis for their status as a villainous team, evolved Pokémon belonging to Team Magma are dual {{ct|Darkness}}. This mechanic would also be used on subsequent Team Rocket-related Pokémon in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion.

'''Team Magma''' (Japanese: '''マグマ{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Magma-dan'', literally ''Magma Gang'') is one of two [[villainous teams]] found in the [[Hoenn]] region, alongside their rivals, [[Team Aqua]]. Team Magma's ultimate goal is to expand the amount of landmass in the world by awakening {{p|Groudon}}.

==In the games==
Team Magma appears only in the Hoenn-based games {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as their remakes [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], where they scheme to bring Groudon out of its slumber.

Generally, {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s have weaker Pokémon, with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Poochyena}} plentiful among them, however, they also use Pokémon of other types; typically they are {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon such as {{p|Numel}} (and {{p|Baltoy}} in Emerald). The team is headed by [[Maxie]] and his two immediate subordinates [[Tabitha]] and [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]].

===In Ruby===
Though they are first encountered early in the game, their first major plot is to use a {{key|III|Meteorite}} to cause [[Mt. Chimney]] to erupt and expand the land. When this is thwarted by the {{player}}, they set themselves up in [[Lilycove City]]'s cove, planning their next moves. Their final action in the storyline is to steal a submarine from {{ci|Slateport}} harbor, which they use to travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}, where Groudon awaits. Groudon, however, is not able to be controlled, and leaves for the [[Cave of Origin]] in [[Sootopolis City]] where it must be captured by the player or defeated.

===In Sapphire===
Team Magma is relegated to a supporting role in Sapphire, with [[Team Aqua]] instead performing the same actions (with different reasoning) and awakening {{p|Kyogre}} instead.

===In Emerald===
Team Magma's deeds are partly the same in {{game|Emerald}} as they are in Ruby and Sapphire, with the plot to cause Mt. Chimney's eruption featured, as well as a new plot to steal rocket fuel from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. Groudon is eventually awakened deep within a cavern [[Team Magma Hideout|used by Team Magma]] deep inside of Mt. Chimney. Both Team Magma's Maxie and Team Aqua's Archie realize what they've done has caused a terrible disaster, and make peace with one another after Groudon and Kyogre have been taken care of by {{p|Rayquaza}}.

===In Omega Ruby===
In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Team Magma's role in the story remains largely the same but their motivation has been significantly altered. While in the original Ruby and Sapphire Magma saw a world with more landmass as idea for ''both'' Pokémon ''and'' humans, in Omega Ruby Team Magma wishes to expand the land to give humanity more space on which to build and develop civilization. This puts them in direct opposition to Team Aqua, who in this version of the story believe that the sea must be expanded to wipe out human civilization so that Pokémon may live without interference.

==In the anime==
Like Team Rocket, Team Magma appeared in the [[AG002|second episode]] of [[Advanced Generation series|their own series]], however, their rivals in Team Aqua did not make an appearance until several episodes later. Much of the time, their focus was on uncovering clues about the location of {{p|Groudon}}, however, in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'' and ''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite!]]'', they came into confrontation with Team Aqua. This happened as well as in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where their feud ended in a large and destructive fight between the two super-ancient Pokémon they chased.

Unlike Giovanni, [[Maxie]] himself never so much as picked up a Poké Ball, instead allowing his underlings to do the fighting for him. [[Tabitha]] generally oversaw the activities of the team, while [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] did not appear at all. [[Brodie]] infiltrated many places as a master of disguise, however, it is unknown whether his rank is above that of a Grunt or not. Formerly, [[Butler]] from ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' worked as a scientist for Team Magma, intending to resurrect a Groudon from a Fossil, but was fired when he was unable to bring the project to fruition.

Like in the games, they use both {{type|Dark}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, even those not necessarily in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]]. Brodie's team includes a {{p|Ditto}}, complimenting his nature. Team Magma seems to be very much organized; respect is always shown to those of higher rank, while Maxie's orders are always heeded.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Team Magma's goal is to increase the landmass of the Hoenn region; because of this they have a bitter rivarly with Team Aqua. To reach their goal they aim at capturing Groudon, the land Pokémon that had been sleeping in the Seafloor Cavern for a long time, after its battle with [[Kyogre]], the water Pokémon. Their plans were foiled by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}. After his plans becoming unsuccessful, Maxie went insane because he had bonded with the orbs and stated to destroy the Hoenn region with Archie. His plans were again foiled by Ruby and Sapphire.

In the manga Team Magma appears much less organized than their game and anime counterparts. The administrators instead number as three, with Courtney and Tabitha joined by [[Blaise]] to comprise the [[Three Fires]], with Maxie as their only superior. Unlike the anime and games, in Pokémon Adventures, the Three Fires are seen to be allowed to carry out Maxie's orders in whatever way they see fit, and perhaps as a result of the lack of central leadership, do not show much respect towards Maxie at all.

Unlike in other media where they are shown to have several types of Pokémon, Team Magma members specialize strictly in the {{t|Fire}} type in Pokémon Adventures.

==In the TCG==
Team Magma is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. Their ambitions and specialties here reflect the other media they appear in. Unlike [[Team Rocket]], which initially featured {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} as an emphasis for their status as a villainous team, evolved Pokémon belonging to Team Magma are dual {{ct|Darkness}}. This mechanic would also be used on subsequent Team Rocket-related Pokémon in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion.

List of unused Pokémon and character designs

List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon

{{Fan speculation}}
Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed.
==List of disputed Pokémon==
===In the games===
{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Egg and Chick
|type1=Unknown
|img=
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|desc= In Pokémon Red and Green there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it. EarthBound was a game that {{wb|Ape Inc.}} developed; the company that eventually became [[Creatures, Inc.]] }}

In the anime, Shellder is required to evolve Slowpoke into Slowbro or Slowking. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself.}}

Kangaskhan carries around a little blue baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother’s body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth. Even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[baby Pokémon]], the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch. As part of Kangaskhan's [[Mega Evolution]], however, the baby is capable of {{a|Parental Bond|fighting alongside its mother}}.}}

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokémon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, and as the skeletal systems for the majority of Pokémon have yet to be revealed, it is unknown if they are meant to be the bones of a specific Pokémon. However, the skull that Vullaby wears as a diaper is similar to a human skull, which may indicate that the bones are from a Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.}}

The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. According to [[Ghetsis]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{p|Kyurem}} is what is left of the original dragon Pokémon.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|img=Genesect fossil.png
|epnum=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|epname=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|desc=[[File:649Genesect.png|right|130px]]{{main|Genesect (Pokémon)}} 
While Genesect is a cyborg Pokémon, it did not previously take this form. The modern Genesect was revived by [[Team Plasma]] from a [[fossil]] of this Pokémon, and modified into its present appearance. According to Genesect's Pokédex entries, it existed over 300 million years ago, and was feared as a powerful hunter. Due to its lack of Team Plasma alterations, it is unlikely that it would have been part {{type|Steel}}, nor would it have access to {{m|Techno Blast}} or similar moves.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and its [[Genesect and the Legend Awakened (manga)|manga adaptation]], fossilized parts of the original Genesect's body are seen. These fossils bear a great similarity to the bodily structure of the modern Genesect. However, these fossils have not yet been seen anywhere outside of the {{pkmn|anime}}.}}

Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin, black stripes. Its cry is a screech, not unlike {{p|Victreebel}}'s. The nature of its appearance (in a Gligarman movie) would appear to indicate it may be a fictional monster or Pokémon, and whether it is supposed to be portrayed by a real Pokémon, a mecha, or simply special effects is unclear, though its movements and cry give it an extremely organic appearance. Due to its rather early appearance in the Johto series of the anime, it is unlikely to have been intended to be in the games, and can be considered to be an anime-exclusive creature.}}

[[Professor Oak]] descibes it as an "ancient Pokémon [[fossil]] [or] artifact". 
It is similar to the Clay Doll Pokémon {{p|Baltoy}} and {{p|Claydol}} and thus may have been based on ''{{wp|Dogū|shakōki-dogū}}'', clay figurines from the {{wp|Jōmon period}} of Japanese history.}}

List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon

2014-08-06T22:36:03Z

Zeta: /* In the manga */

{{incomplete}}
{{Fan speculation}}
Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed.
==List of disputed Pokémon==
===In the games===
{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Egg and Chick
|type1=Unknown
|img=
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|desc= In Pokémon Red and Green there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it. EarthBound was a game that {{wb|Ape Inc.}} developed; the company that eventually became [[Creatures, Inc.]] }}

{{TrainerPoké

|desc=[[File:199Slowking.png|right|130px]][[File:090Shellder.png|right|90px]]{{main|Shellder (Pokémon)}} {{main|Slowbro (Pokémon)}} {{main|Slowking (Pokémon)}} 
In the anime, Shellder is required to evolve Slowpoke into Slowbro or Slowking. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Baby Kangaskhan
|type1=Normal
|img=Baby Kangaskhan.png
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green Versions
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green Versions
|desc=[[File:115Kangaskhan.png|right|130px]]{{main|Kangaskhan (Pokémon)}} 
Kangaskhan carries around a little blue baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother’s body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth. Even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[baby Pokémon]], the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch. As part of Kangaskhan's [[Mega Evolution]], however, the baby is capable of {{a|Parental Bond|fighting alongside its mother}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|desc=[[File:629Vullaby.png|right|120px]][[File:630Mandibuzz.png|right|130px]]{{main|Vullaby (Pokémon)}} {{main|Mandibuzz (Pokémon)}} 
According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokémon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, and as the skeletal systems for the majority of Pokémon have yet to be revealed, it is unknown if they are meant to be the bones of a specific Pokémon. However, the skull that Vullaby wears as a diaper is similar to a human skull, which may indicate that the bones are from a Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Original Reshiram/Zekrom
|type1=Dragon
|img=Reshiram Zekrom artwork.png

|desc=[[File:646Kyurem.png|right|140px]]{{main|Reshiram (Pokémon)}} {{main|Zekrom (Pokémon)}} {{main|Kyurem (Pokémon)}} {{main|Tao trio}} 
The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. According to [[Ghetsis]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{p|Kyurem}} is what is left of the original dragon Pokémon.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Original Genesect
|type1=Bug
|img=Genesect fossil.png
|epnum=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|epname=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|desc=[[File:649Genesect.png|right|130px]]{{main|Genesect (Pokémon)}} 
While Genesect is a cyborg Pokémon, it did not previously take this form. The modern Genesect was revived by [[Team Plasma]] from a [[fossil]] of this Pokémon, and modified into its present appearance. According to Genesect's Pokédex entries, it existed over 300 million years ago, and was feared as a powerful hunter. Due to its lack of Team Plasma alterations, it is unlikely that it would have been part {{type|Steel}}, nor would it have access to {{m|Techno Blast}} or similar moves.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and its [[Genesect and the Legend Awakened (manga)|manga adaptation]], fossilized parts of the original Genesect's body are seen. These fossils bear a great similarity to the bodily structure of the modern Genesect. However, these fossils have not yet been seen anywhere outside of the {{pkmn|anime}}.}}

No additional information on the silhouette was contained in the source code of the tutorial's Flash file.

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Dark Rust
|type1=Unknown
|img=Dark Rust.png

|epname=Pokémon Rumble Blast
|desc={{main|Dark Rust}} 
Dark Rust is a living [[Wonder Key]] and the commander of the Rust Army in {{g|Rumble Blast}}. It can be fought in the fifth and final chamber of the Team Battle in [[World Axle - Deepest Level]]. Although Dark Rust is not considered to be a real Pokémon, it actually has its own [[cry]].}}

|desc=The only known information about this creature is from its brief appearance in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. It seems to be a bear with decorative markings covering its body. Since markings like this are also present on the other Pokémopolis Pokémon featured in the episode like {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Alakazam}}, it is unlikely to have been a normal feature.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Unnamed arachnid
|type1=Bug
|img=Unknown Arachnid.png
|epnum=EP138
|epname=The Superhero Secret
|desc=This creature made its sole appearance in ''[[EP138|The Superhero Secret]]''. It seems to be a giant yellow spider, with four red compound eyes, two antennae on its head, and a mouth with four large fangs. Its thorax has eight long, brown legs. Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin, black stripes. Its cry is a screech, not unlike {{p|Victreebel}}'s. The nature of its appearance (in a Gligarman movie) would appear to indicate it may be a fictional monster or Pokémon, and whether it is supposed to be portrayed by a real Pokémon, a mecha, or simply special effects is unclear, though its movements and cry give it an extremely organic appearance. Due to its rather early appearance in the Johto series of the anime, it is unlikely to have been intended to be in the games, and can be considered to be an anime-exclusive creature.}}

'''Greninja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲッコウガ''' ''Gekkouga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Greninja is a large, bipedal, frog-like Pokémon. Its body and legs are dark blue, with single large white bubbles on its legs and arms and white spots over its eyes. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Its feet are webbed, and it has a yellow chest and a yellow-and-blue face. It has eyes with white sclera, red irises, and white pupils. A large, projecting dark blue stripe runs down the middle of its head, with projecting light blue stripes in between its large, yellow ears. Its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around Greninja's neck and extends outward behind its head.

Greninja moves with the speed and grace of a ninja, using swift movements to confuse its enemies while it slices them up with throwing stars made of compressed water; these throwing stars are sharp enough to split metal. Greninja is the [[Signature moves|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Water Shuriken}} and {{m|Mat Block}}.

==Trivia==
* Greninja has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} of any fully evolved starter Pokémon and of any {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Greninja shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Ninjask}}. They are both known as the Ninja Pokémon.

===Origin===
Greninja is based on a frog, and may have been inspired by horned frogs from the {{wp|Genus|genera}} {{wp|Megophrys}} and {{wp|Ceratophrys}} due to the spiked protrusions above its eyes. Its coloration and body shape is similar to the {{wp|splendid leaf frog}}. The bubble-like protrusions on its body may be based on toad {{wp|parotoid gland}}s, possibly referencing the traditional myth of {{wp|True Toad|toad}}s causing {{wp|wart}}s, though they may also be remnants of Froakie and Frogadier's frog foam. As its species name implies, Greninja is also based on a {{wp|ninja}} - Japanese culture associates frogs and toads with ninjas based on the folk tale ''Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari'' (児雷也豪傑物語) about a ninja with magical, frog-themed powers.

====Name origin====
Greninja is a combination of ''grenouille'' (French for frog) and ''ninja''.

Gekkouga is a combination of げこっ ''geko'' (croak) and 甲賀流 ''{{wp|Kōga-ryū}}''.

==Trivia==
* Greninja has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} of any fully evolved starter Pokémon and of any {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Greninja shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Ninjask}}. They are both known as the Ninja Pokémon.

===Origin===
Greninja is based on a frog, and may have been inspired by horned frogs from the {{wp|Genus|genera}} {{wp|Megophrys}} and {{wp|Ceratophrys}} due to the spiked protrusions above its eyes. Its coloration and body shape is similar to the {{wp|splendid leaf frog}}. The bubble-like protrusions on its body may be based on toad {{wp|parotoid gland}}s, possibly referencing the traditional myth of {{wp|True Toad|toad}}s causing {{wp|wart}}s, though they may also be remnants of Froakie and Frogadier's frog foam. As its species name implies, Greninja is also based on a {{wp|ninja}} - Japanese culture associates frogs and toads with ninjas based on the folk tale ''Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari'' (児雷也豪傑物語) about a ninja with magical frog themed powers.

====Name origin====
Greninja is a combination of ''grenouille'' (French for frog) and ''ninja''.

Gekkouga is a combination of げこっ ''geko'' (croak) and 甲賀流 ''{{wp|Kōga-ryū}}''.

==Work for the TCG==
Nishida has produced illustrations for the TCG since the some of the earliest Japanese promotional cards, though her first in regular expansions was in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set. Nishida's style is distinctive, using an airbrush technique with a soft palette of colors that is easy on the eyes and convey the feeling that the portrayed Pokémon is at one with their environment. Light is also a large factor, using it to highlight key areas of the overall image to maintain the "soft" aspect. For a list of cards she has illustrated, go [[:Category:Illus. by Atsuko Nishida|here]].

'''Wartortle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カメール''' ''Kameil'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Squirtle}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Blastoise}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Wartortle is a bipedal, indigo-blue Pokémon similar to a turtle. It has brown eyes, a dark blue streak on each cheek, and two sharp teeth protruding from its upper jaw. It has three clawed fingers and pointed toes. Bluish white fur covers its long ears and tail. A brown shell with a pale yellow underside encases its body. A thick, white rim separates the upper and lower halves of the shell. As Wartortle grows old, its tail fur will darken, and it may have algae growing on its shell. The shell may also carry scars from past battles.

To maintain balance while swimming at high speeds, Wartortle moves its furry ears and tail. It can use the fur to store air for extended underwater diving. Its tail is a popular symbol of longevity, making it popular with the elderly. It hides in water when hunting and emerges to surprise its prey. [[EP060|The anime has shown]] that Wartortle can be found living in colonies on islands, but its preferred habitat seems to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes.}}

==Trivia==
[[Image:008Wartortle_OS_anime.png|thumb|150px|right|Anime promotional art depicting Wartortle with the same color on its ears and its face.]]
*Even though Wartortle's ears are depicted lighter than its face in the official Sugimori stock art and most of its game sprites, the official promotional pictures usually have the ears the same color as its face.

===Origin===
Its design appears to be a stylized {{wp|sea turtle}} with features of {{wp|tortoise}}s. Its feathery tail is a reference to Japanese legends of the minogame (蓑亀), a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of seaweed. It use of its tail to store oxygen seems to be a reference to certain turtles that breathe through their cloaca, placed near the tail.

====Name origin====
Wartortle's name is a combination of ''war'' or ''warrior'', ''{{wp|tortoise}}'', and ''{{wp|turtle}}''.

Kameil comes from the Japanese word 亀 ''kame'' (tortoise/turtle) and may be a combination of 亀 ''kame'' and テール ''tail''. It is also a corruption of 噛める ''kameru'' (to be able to bite).

==In other languages==

The aspect ratio on Lucario's image seems to be off (Firefox reports it as being scaled up to 150x227, correct size 150x138). Can someone fix that?

Capsule Monsters

{{incomplete}}
[[File:Capsule Monsters Logo.png|thumb|200px|Capsule Monsters logo]]

'''Capsule Monsters''' (Japanese: '''カプセルモンスター''' ''Capsule Monsters'') was [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s early design concept of [[Pokémon]], first proposed to [[Nintendo]] as early as 1990. According to the book ''[[Pikachu's Global Adventure]]'', this early concept traces all the way back to Tajiri's childhood years, during which he had enjoyed bug collecting.

Presumably, the gameplay of Capsule Monsters wasn't about catching monsters like today's Pokémon mechanics. Instead, the monster trainer itself had a Charisma stat that had to be raised to entice wild monsters to join them. <ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/</ref> In addition, some concept art shows trainers buying monsters in a pet-store like setting. <ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/10/</ref> The trainer, in addition to having a Charisma stat, would've had other statistics and parameters too, and been able to participate in combat himself using whips. <ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/4/</ref> Trainers restored their monsters health by staying at inns and hotels, which provided healing devices in rooms and which presumably healed the Trainers as well. <ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/8/</ref>

The original pitch also did not include [[Version Exclusive Pokémon]]. Instead, [[Trading]] would be encouraged by "Mirage Monsters", creatures with a very, very low Encounter Rate. <ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/</ref>

Various Pokémon are known or believed to have originated from this early concept work, such as the well known battling foes {{p|Nidorino}} and {{p|Gengar}}. A few others include {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Rhydon}}, and {{p|Slowbro}}, though many of the concept sketches included generic looking creatures such as simple dragon and apelike figures that may have eventually been developed into many of the existing Pokémon.

The name "Capsule Monsters" is inspired by Japanese {{wp|gashapon}} machines.<ref name="ref1">[http://bivio.web.fc2.com/column_poke_10th.html Pokémon 10th Anniversary Commemoration Column (Japanese)]</ref> Apparently, Tajiri had trouble trademarking the name "Capsule Monsters" so he changed it first to "CapuMon" and then later "[[Pocket Monsters]]".

A game of the same name also appeared in the Yu-Gi-Oh manga and anime series, though with different creatures and concepts.

Pokémon Center

2013-06-01T21:45:58Z

Zeta:

{{samename|retail store chain|Pokémon Center (store)}}
----
[[File:Silver Cave entrance.png|300px|thumb|right|A rural Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.]]
A '''Pokémon Center''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンセンター''' ''Pokémon Center'') is a type of building that provides regulatory services for {{pkmn|Trainer|Pokémon Trainers}}. Pokémon Centers are found in most towns and cities of the {{pkmn|world|Pokémon world}}; every major city or town holds a Pokémon Center. Some Pokémon Centers can be found outside of towns next to large [[forest]]s or [[cave]]s. Pokémon Centers are built where many Trainers gather and the area becomes popular. This is to accommodate those Trainers in need and serve as a resting spot. The most common service the Pokémon Center offers is healing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} free of charge.

In the {{pkmn|games}}, Pokémon Centers consist of a healing station run by a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]], a [[Trade|trading]] connection club, a {{pkmn|battle|battling}} connection club (neither of which require wired connections as of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}), various [[Non-player character|NPCs]] that vary upon location (in rural areas, no NPCs may be present) and, as of [[Generation V]], salesmen from the [[Poké Mart]] due to its integration with the Pokémon Center, starting in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

{{m|Fly}} brings the {{player}} to the Pokémon Center in the town or city chosen, and {{m|Teleport}} brings the player to the Pokémon Center they last visited (or to the Pokémon Center of the city or town they are currently in). Also, if defeated in battle, the player will appear at the Pokémon Center most recently visited (unless the player has not visited a Pokémon Center, in which case they will appear outside their home).

==In the games==
Pokémon Centers are important buildings in the {{pkmn|games}} and are found in most towns and cities, sometimes even on [[route]]s. Pokémon Centers are essential to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as they provide many facilities and host most game mechanics. [[Non-player character]] Trainers and their own {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are often found hanging around in Pokémon Centers, offering general advice and information on the events in the town or area it is situated in. Though the setup of the Pokémon Centers has varied slightly throughout each [[generation]], all Pokémon Centers have the same core functions:

* A [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] heals all [[party]] Pokémon in a matter of seconds. This service heals all [[status ailment]]s and recharges {{Stat|HP}} and {{PP}} of all party Pokémon, free of charge. The nurse is located at the main counter just as the player enters the Pokémon Center.
* Pokémon Centers also host the Cable Club and the [[Union Room]], which facilitates multiplayer gameplay. Originally, linked players could only {{pkmn|battle}} and [[trade]] with one another, but in later generations, players can [[Mixing records|mix records]]{{sup/3|RSE}}{{sup/4|DPPtHGSS}} and [[Wi-Fi Plaza|play games]]{{sup/4|PtHGSS}} together.
* Trainers also have access to a [[PC]] so that they can change out their party. Players are able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon, along with ability to store and withdraw items and display their [[Hall of Fame]] details.

In the [[Generation I]], {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|III}} games, [[saving]] inside a Pokémon Center is required to facilitate linking with console games such as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Colosseum}}.

===Generation I===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside RBY.png‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in the [[Generation I]] games.]]
In the [[Generation I]] games, a Pokémon Center consists of two counters on a single floor. The counter on the left has a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] that will heal the {{player}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The counter on the right contains the Cable Club, which allows players to link with each other. Talking to the women at the desk will allow the player to enter the Cable Club. Furthest to the right is the [[PC]] to deposit and withdraw Pokémon or items. The Generation I games also include two of the few examples of a Pokémon Center that isn't in a town: the Pokémon Centers in {{rt|4|Kanto}}, outside [[Mt. Moon]], and in {{rt|10|Kanto}}, outside the entrance to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. Future [[generation]]s employ rest houses that only offer healing services in similar areas.

{{sign|RBY|header}}
{{sign|RBY|Heal Your POKéMON!}}
{{sign|RBY|title|POKéMON CENTER}}
{{sign|RBY|footer}}

====Cable Club====
Being the original link-up place, it is located at the far end of the Pokémon Center in [[Generation I]] [[Kanto]]. {{Player|Player}}s can link together to simply {{pkmn|battle}} each other one-on-one and [[trade]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with each other. Two players linked by a [[Game Boy]] [[Link cable|Game Link Cable]] can enter the Cable Club. {{game|Yellow}} features an extended version of the Cable Club with the option to choose special battle rules or cups.

===Generation II===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside GSC.png|thumb|right|A regular Pokémon Center in the [[Generation II]] games.]]
In the [[Generation II]] games, to accommodate greater linkimg functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] expanded to two floors. On the first floor, there is the counter where a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] heals the {{player}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as well as a [[PC]]. On the second floor resides the Cable Club and [[Time Capsule]].

In the Japanese versions and Korean versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the sign of [[Johto]]'s Pokémon Centers have a [[Poké Ball]] logo and the letters ''PC'' while [[Kanto]]'s use the same sign as that of the [[Generation I]] games. In the localizations, the Generation I sign was used for both [[region]]s.

{{sign|RBY|header}}
{{sign|RBY|Heal Your POKéMON!}}
{{sign|RBY|title|POKéMON CENTER}}
{{sign|RBY|footer}}

====Cable Club====
Located upstairs in Pokémon Centers throughout [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], this Cable Club consists of three rooms. The Cable Club Trade Center facilitates [[Trade|trading]], the Cable Club Colosseum allows {{pkmn|battling}}, and the Cable Club [[Time Capsule]] provides a way to trade {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the [[Generation I]] games. Because there were no female protagonists prior to {{ga|Kris}}'s introduction in {{game|Crystal}}, a {{player}} who has chosen Kris is temporarily swapped into the {{ga|Ethan|male player}} sprite before linking with a [[Generation I]] game or with {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}; however, this is still the case for two Pokémon Crystal games linked with each other, despite tue sprite data for the female choice being present.

Two players can enter the Cable Club with a [[Game Boy]] or [[Game Boy Color]] {{wp|Game Link Cable}}.

====PokéCom Center====
{{main|Pokémon Communication Center}}
Exclusively in the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], or PokéCom Center, replaces the regular Pokémon Center in [[Goldenrod City]], and takes use of the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. It is in essence a prototype for the [[Global Terminal]], justifying the placement of one in the city on {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

[[File:Pokémon Center inside FRLG.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.]]
Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation III]] games keep the two-floor setup, similar to the regular Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation II]] games. The only difference is that the stairs to the second floor are larger and more noticeable, taking the shape of an escalator.

In [[Orre]], there are only three official Pokémon Centers. They are located in [[Phenac City]], [[Agate Village]], and [[Gateon Port]]. The Agate Village and Gateon Port Centers do not have facilities for linking with the [[Generation III]] [[Game Boy Advance]] games and all have unique appearances, however. Self-service healing machines, identical to ones staffed by a [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] in a Pokémon Center, appear scattered throughout Orre, generally next to a [[PC]].

====Cable Club====
Similar to the Cable Club of the [[Generation II]] games, Pokémon Centers in [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] have a Cable Club Colosseum and a Cable Club Trade Center. Now four {{player}}s can link with a [[Game Boy Advance]] {{wp|Game Link Cable}} to {{pkmn|battle}} in a [[Double Battle]]. A new feature was added to the Cable Club called the Cable Club Record Center, which allows two to four {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to [[Mixing records|mix records]]. Mixed Trainer data shows up on [[television]] shows on TVs found all across [[Hoenn]]. [[Secret base]]s are also copied over in the process.

====Wireless Club====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}, the second floor of Pokémon Centers house a Wireless Club. The Wireless Club meets in the [[Union Room]], where up to 40 {{pkmn|Trainer}}s may (in groups of five) [[Easy chat system|talk]] and {{pkmn|battle}}, as well as [[trade]] via a trading board. The Cable Club's room has the standard Trade Corner and Colosseum (as well as the Record Center in Emerald).

===Generation IV===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside DPPt.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.]]
[[File:Pokémon Center inside HGSS.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.]]
In the [[Generation IV]] games, Pokémon Centers introduce a basement floor, which takes use of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Opposite the ground floor's escalator, another escalator downstairs to the basement appears. While the second floor retains the same features from the [[Generation III]] games, supporting up to four {{player}}s using the native wireless connection of the [[Nintendo DS]], the basement floor is where players can link up with others around the world using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The ground floor, as always, is where a player can heal their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and use a [[PC]]. As of {{game|Platinum}}, players can also challenge other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s inside specific Pokémon Centers.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon Center's design receives a major overhaul. The second floor became a {{wp|mezzanine}}, located above and directly behind the main desk, and two staircases were added on each side of the desk for access to it. The [[PC]] was moved to the corner of the desk. All functions remain the same. The {{player}}'s [[walking Pokémon]] will return to its [[Poké Ball]] while being healed. If the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the player's party [[Fainting|fainted]] prior to healing, it will return to being the walking Pokémon as soon as it has been revived.

====Wireless Club====
Both [[Sinnoh]] and [[Generation IV]] [[Johto]] feature a wireless club just like [[Hoenn]] and [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]], where {{player}}s in a [[Union Room]] can {{pkmn|battle}}, [[trade]], [[Mixing records|mix records]] and, in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, spin {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, the Pokémon Centers in these [[region]]s also have a basement, where the Wi-Fi Club is located, allowing players to connect to each other if they are registered on each other's [[Pal Pad]]. Here they can battle and trade, and they can talk to each other through the built-in microphone of the [[Nintendo DS]], instead of using the [[easy chat system]] as in the Generation III games; however, the easy chat system is also supported.

====Wi-Fi Plaza====
The [[Wi-Fi Plaza]] is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and is located on the basement floor. {{player|Players}} from around the world can enter a plaza to make [[Poffin]]s and play minigames together via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players there. A leap in multiplayer gameplay is introduced, allowing up to twenty players to enter the Wi-Fi Plaza at a time. The player may only spend a certain amount of time at the Wi-Fi Plaza each day.

===Generation V===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside BW.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
In the [[Generation V]] games, the [[Poké Mart]] has been merged with the Pokémon Center. This is similar to how the [[Pokémon League]] lobbies of previous [[generation]]s contain both a Poké Mart and a Pokémon Center. The [[PC]]s in this generation have a help function, which describes a wide variety of game-related topics.

As with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the second floor is a {{wp|mezzanine}} above and directly behind the main desk. All multiplayer features found on the second floor of Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation IV]] games, including the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] features present in the basements, can be found here by talking to the attendant to the left and on the center, respectively. The attendant to the right allows {{player}}s to access the [[Global Terminal#Global Trade Station|Global Trade Station]] (GTS), as well as all the features from the [[Global Terminal]] expansion of it, such as playback of [[Vs. Recorder|recorded videos]]. The [[Global Battle Union]] (GBU) can also be accessed here, allowing players to {{pkmn|battle}} random players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The [[Global Terminal#Geonet|Geonet]] can also be found on the second floor, allowing players to register their real-world location, as in the [[Generation IV]] games. All Pokémon Centers except the one in the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}} have a second floor.

==In the anime==
[[File:Unova Pokemon Center.png|thumb|right|200px|A Pokémon Center as it appears in the {{pkmn|anime}}.]]
Pokémon Centers in the {{pkmn|anime}} are headed by a [[Nurse Joy]]. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the games, so {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} often have to wait until their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are fully healed. All Pokémon Centers are connected and, in times of crisis, all Pokémon can be [[Pokémon Storage System|transferred]] from one to another, as seen in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''. Pokémon Centers are considered an important service, as shown in ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]'' where, in the past, the town residents built a Pokémon Center as a community project.

Pokémon Centers are designed for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s so they can rest between {{pkmn|training|activities}}. Trainers use Pokémon Centers as gathering places, so they can share information about Pokémon. They also have access to video phones, [[PC]]s with [[Trade|trading]] functions and most offer free food and lodging. As a {{pkmn|journey|Pokémon journey}} can take a long time, Pokémon Centers can be used as mailing destinations. A Trainer can arrange for their loved ones to send them packages, typically to the next Pokémon Center they're traveling to. Inside a typical Pokémon Center, one can find a front desk, a lobby (sometimes with vending machines), a [[Poké Ball]] room, an Emergency Room with plenty of beds for injured Pokémon, a recovery room, a waiting room, rooms for lodging, and a cafeteria. A lobby may also have a large widescreen [[Television|TV]] or several smaller TVs so Trainers can watch typically Pokémon-oriented shows, such as ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'', [[Pokémon Contest]] broadcasts, and major competitions like the {{pkmn|League|Pokémon Leagues}} of each [[region]] and the [[Grand Festival]]. A typical sleeping room has a desk and chair and two sets of bunk beds to maximize space, and girls do not have to sleep in separate rooms from boys. At least one Pokémon Center was shown in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'' to have a small library with a PC (presumably connected to some network akin to the {{wp|Internet}}), as an information room. It is unknown how these activities performed by a Pokémon Center are financed. On the outside, they come in all shapes and sizes, but usually have a rather large ''P'' somewhere.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Pokémon Centers. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ジョーイさん　あいたくなったら　ポケモンセンター "''When I want to meet Nurse Joy, Pokémon Center.''"
* For ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Live Caster]] is also about Pokémon Centers. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ジョーイさん　ポケモンセンター　やすみなし "''Nurse Joy, Pokémon Center, without a break.''"
* The Pokémon Center's game background music has remained essentially the same throughout the franchise. It is notably different at [[Time|nighttime]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. A remix has also been used in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, if the "walk through walls" cheat is used to go past the desk, and the cash register-like object is interacted with, the dialogue will be the same one used when interacting with the shelves in a [[Poké Mart]].
* In the {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a healing machine can be obtained in [[the Underground]] to be placed in the [[Secret Base]]. However, it cannot heal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
*In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the [[Celestic Town]] Pokémon Center plays the music of the Town instead of the usual theme.
*In the original design document for [[Capsule Monsters]], Trainers restored their monsters health by staying at inns and hotels, which provided healing devices in rooms. <ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/8/</ref>

[[File:Silver Cave entrance.png|300px|thumb|right|A rural Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.]]
A '''Pokémon Center''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンセンター''' ''Pokémon Center'') is a type of building that provides regulatory services for {{pkmn|Trainer|Pokémon Trainers}}. Pokémon Centers are found in most towns and cities of the {{pkmn|world|Pokémon world}}; every major city or town holds a Pokémon Center. Some Pokémon Centers can be found outside of towns next to large [[forest]]s or [[cave]]s. Pokémon Centers are built where many Trainers gather and the area becomes popular. This is to accommodate those Trainers in need and serve as a resting spot. The most common service the Pokémon Center offers is healing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} free of charge.

In the {{pkmn|games}}, Pokémon Centers consist of a healing station run by a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]], a [[Trade|trading]] connection club, a {{pkmn|battle|battling}} connection club (neither of which require wired connections as of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}), various [[Non-player character|NPCs]] that vary upon location (in rural areas, no NPCs may be present) and, as of [[Generation V]], salesmen from the [[Poké Mart]] due to its integration with the Pokémon Center, starting in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

{{m|Fly}} brings the {{player}} to the Pokémon Center in the town or city chosen, and {{m|Teleport}} brings the player to the Pokémon Center they last visited (or to the Pokémon Center of the city or town they are currently in). Also, if defeated in battle, the player will appear at the Pokémon Center most recently visited (unless the player has not visited a Pokémon Center, in which case they will appear outside their home).

==In the games==
Pokémon Centers are important buildings in the {{pkmn|games}} and are found in most towns and cities, sometimes even on [[route]]s. Pokémon Centers are essential to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as they provide many facilities and host most game mechanics. [[Non-player character]] Trainers and their own {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are often found hanging around in Pokémon Centers, offering general advice and information on the events in the town or area it is situated in. Though the setup of the Pokémon Centers has varied slightly throughout each [[generation]], all Pokémon Centers have the same core functions:

* A [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] heals all [[party]] Pokémon in a matter of seconds. This service heals all [[status ailment]]s and recharges {{Stat|HP}} and {{PP}} of all party Pokémon, free of charge. The nurse is located at the main counter just as the player enters the Pokémon Center.
* Pokémon Centers also host the Cable Club and the [[Union Room]], which facilitates multiplayer gameplay. Originally, linked players could only {{pkmn|battle}} and [[trade]] with one another, but in later generations, players can [[Mixing records|mix records]]{{sup/3|RSE}}{{sup/4|DPPtHGSS}} and [[Wi-Fi Plaza|play games]]{{sup/4|PtHGSS}} together.
* Trainers also have access to a [[PC]] so that they can change out their party. Players are able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon, along with ability to store and withdraw items and display their [[Hall of Fame]] details.

In the [[Generation I]], {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|III}} games, [[saving]] inside a Pokémon Center is required to facilitate linking with console games such as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Colosseum}}.

===Generation I===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside RBY.png‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in the [[Generation I]] games.]]
In the [[Generation I]] games, a Pokémon Center consists of two counters on a single floor. The counter on the left has a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] that will heal the {{player}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The counter on the right contains the Cable Club, which allows players to link with each other. Talking to the women at the desk will allow the player to enter the Cable Club. Furthest to the right is the [[PC]] to deposit and withdraw Pokémon or items. The Generation I games also include two of the few examples of a Pokémon Center that isn't in a town: the Pokémon Centers in {{rt|4|Kanto}}, outside [[Mt. Moon]], and in {{rt|10|Kanto}}, outside the entrance to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. Future [[generation]]s employ rest houses that only offer healing services in similar areas.

====Cable Club====
Being the original link-up place, it is located at the far end of the Pokémon Center in [[Generation I]] [[Kanto]]. {{Player|Player}}s can link together to simply {{pkmn|battle}} each other one-on-one and [[trade]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with each other. Two players linked by a [[Game Boy]] [[Link cable|Game Link Cable]] can enter the Cable Club. {{game|Yellow}} features an extended version of the Cable Club with the option to choose special battle rules or cups.

===Generation II===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside GSC.png|thumb|right|A regular Pokémon Center in the [[Generation II]] games.]]
In the [[Generation II]] games, to accommodate greater linkimg functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] expanded to two floors. On the first floor, there is the counter where a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] heals the {{player}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as well as a [[PC]]. On the second floor resides the Cable Club and [[Time Capsule]].

In the Japanese versions and Korean versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the sign of [[Johto]]'s Pokémon Centers have a [[Poké Ball]] logo and the letters ''PC'' while [[Kanto]]'s use the same sign as that of the [[Generation I]] games. In the localizations, the Generation I sign was used for both [[region]]s.

{{sign|RBY|header}}

{{sign|RBY|title|POKéMON CENTER}}

====Cable Club====
Located upstairs in Pokémon Centers throughout [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], this Cable Club consists of three rooms. The Cable Club Trade Center facilitates [[Trade|trading]], the Cable Club Colosseum allows {{pkmn|battling}}, and the Cable Club [[Time Capsule]] provides a way to trade {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the [[Generation I]] games. Because there were no female protagonists prior to {{ga|Kris}}'s introduction in {{game|Crystal}}, a {{player}} who has chosen Kris is temporarily swapped into the {{ga|Ethan|male player}} sprite before linking with a [[Generation I]] game or with {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}; however, this is still the case for two Pokémon Crystal games linked with each other, despite tue sprite data for the female choice being present.

Two players can enter the Cable Club with a [[Game Boy]] or [[Game Boy Color]] {{wp|Game Link Cable}}.

====PokéCom Center====
{{main|Pokémon Communication Center}}
Exclusively in the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], or PokéCom Center, replaces the regular Pokémon Center in [[Goldenrod City]], and takes use of the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. It is in essence a prototype for the [[Global Terminal]], justifying the placement of one in the city on {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Generation III===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside RSE.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.]]
[[File:Pokémon Center inside FRLG.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.]]
Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation III]] games keep the two-floor setup, similar to the regular Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation II]] games. The only difference is that the stairs to the second floor are larger and more noticeable, taking the shape of an escalator.

In [[Orre]], there are only three official Pokémon Centers. They are located in [[Phenac City]], [[Agate Village]], and [[Gateon Port]]. The Agate Village and Gateon Port Centers do not have facilities for linking with the [[Generation III]] [[Game Boy Advance]] games and all have unique appearances, however. Self-service healing machines, identical to ones staffed by a [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] in a Pokémon Center, appear scattered throughout Orre, generally next to a [[PC]].

====Cable Club====
Similar to the Cable Club of the [[Generation II]] games, Pokémon Centers in [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] have a Cable Club Colosseum and a Cable Club Trade Center. Now four {{player}}s can link with a [[Game Boy Advance]] {{wp|Game Link Cable}} to {{pkmn|battle}} in a [[Double Battle]]. A new feature was added to the Cable Club called the Cable Club Record Center, which allows two to four {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to [[Mixing records|mix records]]. Mixed Trainer data shows up on [[television]] shows on TVs found all across [[Hoenn]]. [[Secret base]]s are also copied over in the process.

====Wireless Club====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}, the second floor of Pokémon Centers house a Wireless Club. The Wireless Club meets in the [[Union Room]], where up to 40 {{pkmn|Trainer}}s may (in groups of five) [[Easy chat system|talk]] and {{pkmn|battle}}, as well as [[trade]] via a trading board. The Cable Club's room has the standard Trade Corner and Colosseum (as well as the Record Center in Emerald).

===Generation IV===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside DPPt.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.]]
[[File:Pokémon Center inside HGSS.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.]]
In the [[Generation IV]] games, Pokémon Centers introduce a basement floor, which takes use of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Opposite the ground floor's escalator, another escalator downstairs to the basement appears. While the second floor retains the same features from the [[Generation III]] games, supporting up to four {{player}}s using the native wireless connection of the [[Nintendo DS]], the basement floor is where players can link up with others around the world using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The ground floor, as always, is where a player can heal their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and use a [[PC]]. As of {{game|Platinum}}, players can also challenge other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s inside specific Pokémon Centers.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon Center's design receives a major overhaul. The second floor became a {{wp|mezzanine}}, located above and directly behind the main desk, and two staircases were added on each side of the desk for access to it. The [[PC]] was moved to the corner of the desk. All functions remain the same. The {{player}}'s [[walking Pokémon]] will return to its [[Poké Ball]] while being healed. If the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the player's party [[Fainting|fainted]] prior to healing, it will return to being the walking Pokémon as soon as it has been revived.

====Wireless Club====
Both [[Sinnoh]] and [[Generation IV]] [[Johto]] feature a wireless club just like [[Hoenn]] and [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]], where {{player}}s in a [[Union Room]] can {{pkmn|battle}}, [[trade]], [[Mixing records|mix records]] and, in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, spin {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, the Pokémon Centers in these [[region]]s also have a basement, where the Wi-Fi Club is located, allowing players to connect to each other if they are registered on each other's [[Pal Pad]]. Here they can battle and trade, and they can talk to each other through the built-in microphone of the [[Nintendo DS]], instead of using the [[easy chat system]] as in the Generation III games; however, the easy chat system is also supported.

====Wi-Fi Plaza====
The [[Wi-Fi Plaza]] is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and is located on the basement floor. {{player|Players}} from around the world can enter a plaza to make [[Poffin]]s and play minigames together via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players there. A leap in multiplayer gameplay is introduced, allowing up to twenty players to enter the Wi-Fi Plaza at a time. The player may only spend a certain amount of time at the Wi-Fi Plaza each day.
{{-}}
===Generation V===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside BW.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
In the [[Generation V]] games, the [[Poké Mart]] has been merged with the Pokémon Center. This is similar to how the [[Pokémon League]] lobbies of previous [[generation]]s contain both a Poké Mart and a Pokémon Center. The [[PC]]s in this generation have a help function, which describes a wide variety of game-related topics.

As with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the second floor is a {{wp|mezzanine}} above and directly behind the main desk. All multiplayer features found on the second floor of Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation IV]] games, including the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] features present in the basements, can be found here by talking to the attendant to the left and on the center, respectively. The attendant to the right allows {{player}}s to access the [[Global Terminal#Global Trade Station|Global Trade Station]] (GTS), as well as all the features from the [[Global Terminal]] expansion of it, such as playback of [[Vs. Recorder|recorded videos]]. The [[Global Battle Union]] (GBU) can also be accessed here, allowing players to {{pkmn|battle}} random players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The [[Global Terminal#Geonet|Geonet]] can also be found on the second floor, allowing players to register their real-world location, as in the [[Generation IV]] games. All Pokémon Centers except the one in the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}} have a second floor.

==In the anime==
[[File:Unova Pokemon Center.png|thumb|right|200px|The Pokémon Center as it appears in the {{pkmn|anime}}.]]
Pokémon Centers in the {{pkmn|anime}} are headed by a [[Nurse Joy]]. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the games, so {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} often have to wait until their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are fully healed. All Pokémon Centers are connected and, in times of crisis, all Pokémon can be [[Pokémon Storage System|transferred]] from one to another, as seen in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''. Pokémon Centers are considered an important service, as shown in ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]'' where, in the past, the town residents built a Pokémon Center as a community project.

Pokémon Centers are designed for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s so they can rest between {{pkmn|training|activities}}. Trainers use Pokémon Centers as gathering places, so they can share information about Pokémon. They also have access to video phones, [[PC]]s with [[Trade|trading]] functions and most offer free food and lodging. As a {{pkmn|journey|Pokémon journey}} can take a long time, Pokémon Centers can be used as mailing destinations. A Trainer can arrange for their loved ones to send them packages, typically to the next Pokémon Center they're traveling to. Inside a typical Pokémon Center, one can find a front desk, a lobby (sometimes with vending machines), a [[Poké Ball]] room, an Emergency Room with plenty of beds for injured Pokémon, a recovery room, a waiting room, rooms for lodging, and a cafeteria. A lobby may also have a large widescreen [[Television|TV]] or several smaller TVs so Trainers can watch typically Pokémon-oriented shows, such as ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'', [[Pokémon Contest]] broadcasts, and major competitions like the {{pkmn|League|Pokémon Leagues}} of each [[region]] and the [[Grand Festival]]. A typical sleeping room has a desk and chair and two sets of bunk beds to maximize space, and girls do not have to sleep in separate rooms from boys. At least one Pokémon Center was shown in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'' to have a small library with a PC (presumably connected to some network akin to the {{wp|Internet}}), as an information room. It is unknown how these activities performed by a Pokémon Center are financed. On the outside, they come in all shapes and sizes, but usually have a rather large ''P'' somewhere.

==In the TCG==
The following is a list of cards named '''Pokémon Center'''.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Pokémon Centers. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ジョーイさん　あいたくなったら　ポケモンセンター "''When I want to meet Nurse Joy, Pokémon Center.''"
* For ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Live Caster]] is also about Pokémon Centers. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ジョーイさん　ポケモンセンター　やすみなし "''Nurse Joy, Pokémon Center, without a break.''"
* The Pokémon Center's game background music has remained essentially the same throughout the franchise. It is notably different at [[Time|nighttime]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. A remix has also been used in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, if the "walk through walls" cheat is used to go past the desk, and the cash register-like object is interacted with, the dialogue will be the same one used when interacting with the shelves in a [[Poké Mart]].
* In the {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a healing machine can be obtained in [[the Underground]] to be placed in the [[Secret Base]]. However, it cannot heal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
*In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the [[Celestic Town]] Pokémon Center plays the music of the Town instead of the usual theme.
*In the original design document for [[Capsule Monsters]], Trainers restored their monsters health by staying at inns and hotels, which provided healing devices in rooms. <ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/8/</ref>

History of Pokémon

2013-06-01T21:14:34Z

Zeta: /* Early days */

{{Featured}}
:''This article is about the history of the Pokémon media franchise. For other uses of "history", see [[History]].''
----
[[File:Satoshitajiri.jpg|right|frame|Satoshi Tajiri]]The '''history of the Pokémon media franchise''' spans over two decades from when work began officially on the first game to now, and has roots even older. It started simply enough as a hobby of [[Satoshi Tajiri]], who as a child had a fondness for catching {{wp|insect}}s and {{wp|tadpole}}s near his home in suburban {{wp|Tokyo}}. Over time, Tajiri decided to put his idea of catching creatures into practice, to give children the same thrills he had as a child.

==Early days==
[[File:ShiMiy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Shigeru Miyamoto]]
With the help of [[Ken Sugimori]] and other friends, Tajiri formed [[Game Freak]] and much later the design studio known as [[Creatures, Inc.|Creatures]]. When Tajiri discovered the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Link cable|Game Boy Link Cable]], it gave him the image of insects traveling along the wire. Tajiri was also heavily influenced by the [[wp:Ultraman|Ultraman]] fantasy television show, [[wp:Ultra Seven|Ultra Seven]], in which the protagonist used giant monsters contained within small capsules to help him fight. Together, these two sources gave him the idea for a new game called ''[[Capsule Monsters]]''. <ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/</ref> After several failed attempts at pitching this idea to [[Nintendo]], Tajiri's new friend [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] pitched it to the company, and Nintendo began to fund the project, spending six years developing the games that would become a worldwide sensation. Due to trademarking issues, the name "Capsule Monsters" was changed to "Pocket Monsters".<ref>[http://bivio.web.fc2.com/column_poke_10th.html ポケモン10周年記念コラム]</ref>

The original artwork for the games was drawn by Tajiri's friend, artist [[Ken Sugimori]], while the music and sound effects were composed by [[Junichi Masuda]].

After debugging was completed, [[Shigeki Morimoto]] programmed {{p|Mew}} into the game. However, [[Game Freak]] planned to keep the 151st Pokémon hidden from the public unless it was needed for a post-launch event.<ref>[http://www.nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks: Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref>

The project nearly drove [[Game Freak]] to bankruptcy. Five employees quit due to the financial conditions, and Tajiri worked many unpaid hours.<ref>[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,34342-3,00.html Beware of the Pokemania]</ref>

==Generation I==
===Taking over Japan===
[[File:Green JP boxart.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Green box art]]The first [[Pokémon games]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], came to the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy]] system in Japan on February 27, 1996, which was the fulfillment of Satoshi Tajiri's dream and allowed people of all ages to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]], [[Pokémon training|train]] and [[trade]] {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 creatures}} and become a [[Pokémon Master]].

Initially, the Pokémon games had modest sales. However, after players discovered {{p|Mew}} in the games, the magazine [[CoroCoro]] announced a "Legendary Pokémon Offer" to distribute Mew to twenty entrants. The contest received 78,000 entrants, and the sales of the Pokémon games quickly increased.<ref>[http://www.nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks: Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref> Due to high sales, Pokémon Red and Green were swiftly followed up with [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], which had improved graphics and sounds.

After the games, a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was developed by Media Factory with its own set of rules. The {{TCG|Base Set|first set}} of cards was released on October 20, 1996, containing 102 cards, and became very popular.

The franchise also won many {{pkmn|manga}} interpretations, the first being ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' by [[Kosaku Anakubo]], which was first {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|1|collected and published}} in November 1996 by [[Shogakukan]]. This was chiefly a gag manga, using crude humor and slapstick, starring a Trainer named {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his rude {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}.

The popularity of the franchise also led to an {{pkmn|anime}} series based on the games, [[EP001|premiering]] in Japan on April 1, 1997. The main character was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] named ''Satoshi'' (after [[Satoshi Tajiri]], later dubbed in English to [[Ash Ketchum]]), based on {{ga|Red}}. Another character introduced in the first episode was Satoshi's [[rival]], ''Shigeru'' (after [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], later dubbed in English to [[Gary Oak]]), based on {{ga|Blue}}.

The anime quickly became very popular, and soon a manga series based on it named [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] was written by [[Toshihiro Ono]]. The {{vol|Electric Tale of Pikachu|1|first volume}} of the series was first published on October 28, 1997. The more famous manga in the western world, however, is [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{PAV|1|the first volume of which}} was first published in Japan on August 8, 1997. This is the longest running manga in Pokémon history, as it is still ongoing today, over fourteen years later. Several other manga series were published in that era, including ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' and [[Miho Asada]]'s [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].

In addition to these manga series, [[Shogakukan]] also published the first volume of ''[[Pokémon Wonderland]]'', a magazine with the latest information on the franchise, on August 23, 1997. They also released a new manga series named ''Pokémon PiPiPi ★ Adventures'' (later translated to ''[[Magical Pokémon Journey]]''), authored by [[Yumi Tsukirino]], on March 28, 1998. The main difference in this series was that is was aimed mainly towards girls.

On April 25, 1998, the first [[Pokémon Center (store)|''Pokémon Center'' store]] was opened in Tokyo, specializing in [[Pokémon merchandise]]. Along the way, [[The Pokémon Company]] began its operations. Many such stores were opened in later years, and today there are six different stores across Japan, as well as a subsection in the Nintendo World Store in New York.

===Conquering the world===
[[File:Ash anime.png|thumb|left|Ash Ketchum in the original series of the anime]] Due to Pokémon's success in Japan, the series was released overseas. Before the games were released in North America, the localization team attempted to change the Pokémon designs, fearing that the cute designs would not appeal to western gamers; however, the proposal was refused.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/taidan1/page03.html スペシャル対談／３]</ref><ref>''"[Mr. Yamauchi] indicated that the games would be customized for western markets, a process that should include new art for many of the monsters."'' Nintendo Power 104 (January 1998) p. 38 (retrieved December 21, 2010)</ref> North America received {{2v|Red|Blue}}, as well as the anime, in September 1998 (the anime on the 7th and the games on the 30th), and soon everywhere else began to play the games on the Game Boy under the slogan ''[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]''. The {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} was also introduced to North America on January 9, 1999 by [[Wizards of the Coast]]. [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] became the first [[Pokémon manga]] to be translated to English when [[VIZ Media]] started publishing it on September 28, 1999.

Meanwhile in Japan in 1998, a new spin-off game, {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game featured only 42 Pokémon of the full 151. This game proved to be commercially and critically unsuccessful, though its sequel, originally planned for the [[Nintendo 64DD]], {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|received an international release}}.

The {{pkmn|anime}}, on the other hand, pushed the franchise to new heights. On July 18, 1998, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' debuted in Japanese theaters, featuring the rare {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}. In the United States, where it was released on November 10, 1999, the movie even briefly held the record for highest-grossing opening for an animated film.

Plans soon started for a game based on the popular anime and {{v|Yellow}} was released September 12, 1998 in Japan, October 25th, 1999 in North America and Europe. Pokémon Yellow allowed Trainers to take on the role of {{Ash}} and travel through [[Kanto]] with anime-style graphics for each Pokémon and a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] by their side, following the anime's course of events.

===Expanding to spin-offs===
On December 18, 1998 a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|Game Boy game based on the TCG]] was released, later arriving in North America on April 10, 2000. It was followed, only in Japan, a year later by a sequel titled {{Card GB 2}}.

The anime, as well as {{game|Yellow}}, marked {{p|Pikachu}} as the most popular and recognized creatures in Pokémon history, turning it into the franchise's mascot. This led to a small spin-off game called [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which was released in Japan on December 12, 1998, and in North America on November 6, 2000. This was a virtual-pet game, utilizing the [[Nintendo 64]]'s Voice Recognition Unit to let the players interact verbally with Pikachu.

When the anime finished following the games' story with {{Ash}}'s defeat in the [[Pokémon League]] in January 1999, it [[EP081|started]] a [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|new season]] in a new region called the [[Orange Archipelago]], introducing the new main character of [[Tracey Sketchit]]. During this season's time, a second movie, ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', was produced. It was first in Japanese theaters on July 17, 1999, and in North American theaters on July 21, 2000.

A non-traditional spin-off game for [[Nintendo 64]], {{g|Snap}}, was released in Japan on March 21, 1999, inviting the player (in the role of {{Todd}}) to a Pokémon photographing mission in a place called [[Pokémon Island]]. This game made its way to North America on July 27, 1999.

On April 14, 1999, a spin-off pinball game for the [[Game Boy Color]] was released, called {{g|Pinball}}. This game took all the mechanics of regular pinball, with some Pokémon aspects added in. Its North American release was on June 28, 1999.

[[File:Pokemon Live cover.png|thumb|right|''Pokémon Live!'' CD cover art]]A sequel to {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}} was also eventually released in Japan on April 30, 1999, and became a success. This game reached North America on February 29, 2000, and became known there as the original {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. The twist in the {{pkmn|Stadium series}} from the [[version|main series]] was that it featured the Pokémon in 3D.

In September 2000, the anime-based puzzle game {{g|Puzzle League}} was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game was the only Pokémon game to be made specifically for western audiences and not be released in Japan.

However, this was not the only American-made original Pokémon material. From 2000 to 2002, an anime-based musical called ''[[Pokémon Live!]]'' was shown on stages around the world. The most memorable plot point in the musical was the revelation that {{Ash}}'s mother, {{Delia}}, used to be a friend of {{an|Giovanni}} when they were younger. The musical isn't considered [[canon]], but it sparked endless theories among fans regarding the identity of Ash's father.

==Generation II==
===Winds of new beginnings===
[[File:JohtoII.png|thumb|left|A map of Johto]]Almost since the very beginning of the series, it had been apparent that the first 151 Pokémon would not be the last. {{p|Ho-Oh}} was seen as early as [[EP001|the first episode of the anime]], {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} was owned by a {{an|Misty|main character}}, and others like {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Donphan}} were seen in [[M01|the first movie]]. Later, when [[Generation II|the second generation]] of Pokémon was drawing nearer, others like {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Slowking}} and {{p|Elekid}} made their way to [[M02|the second movie]].

On November 21, 1999, Nintendo of Japan released {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for the then-new [[Game Boy Color]]. This time, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were invited to the land of [[Johto]], where {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 more Pokémon}} were waiting to be captured. The new games enhanced the Pokémon gaming experience by adding many new features, the most famous likely being the ability for Pokémon to have different [[gender]]s, in turn allowing them to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. A [[time]] system was also introduced, with a real-time clock allowing different events to happen during the day, at night, and in the morning, as well as on certain [[days of the week]]. Another important addition was the [[friendship]] system. [[Shiny Pokémon]] also first appeared, most notably a [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Trainers could also return to [[Kanto]] and face the [[Gym Leader]]s that were present in the original games. Pokémon Gold and Silver made its way to North America on October 11, 2000.

The anime followed, of course, and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} also arrived at Johto in [[EP117|an episode]] that aired in Japan on October 14, 1999 and in the US on October 14, 2000. ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' was then released to theaters on July 8, 2000 in Japan and on April 6, 2001 in North America, featuring the legendary {{p|Entei}}.

A new trading card set called {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} featured the first Generation II Pokémon to the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. It was released in Japan on December 10, 1999 and in the United States on December 16, 2000.

A sequel to {{g|Puzzle League}} was released on September 21, 2000 for [[Game Boy Color]], this time in Japan, titled {{g|Puzzle Challenge}}. It made its way to North America on December 4, 2000.

On December 14, 2000, {{g|Stadium 2|a sequel to the Stadium series was released in Japan}}, bringing the [[Generation II]] Pokémon into full 3D for the first time. This game reached North America on March 25, 2001.

Like Pokémon Yellow, a [[Versions|third version]] was made called {{game|Crystal}}, which was released in Japan on December 14, 2000 and in North America on July 21, 2001. Pokémon Crystal had several notable changes from Gold and Silver. {{p|Suicune}} was the [[version mascot]] and the focus of the plot. Crystal was also the first portable Pokémon game to feature animations for every Pokémon. Trainers in Japan received the added bonus of being able to trade, battle, and even obtain the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Celebi}} wirelessly by using a cell phone to connect to the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. Trainers were also, for the first time, allowed to choose their character's [[gender]].

===Anime and manga in GS===
[[File:PokemonAdv08.png|thumb|right|Volume 8 of the Pokémon Adventures manga]]
[[File:Mewtwo Returns DVD.png|thumb|left|DVD Cover for Mewtwo Returns]] On December 30, 2000, the first feature-length special of the Pokémon anime was released in Japan as a sequel to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', titled ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. It was later released on DVD in the United States on December 5, 2001.

In June 2000, a {{pkmn|manga}} series by [[Muneo Saitō]] titled ''[[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]]'' was published in Japan. This manga followed the plot of the [[Generation II]] games, before abruptly ending after three volumes with very little resolution. Another new manga series by [[Takashi Teshirogi]] based on the anime's new seasons called ''[[Ash and Pikachu]]'' was published on February 26, 2001.

Another anime movie, ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', debuted in theaters in Japan on July 7, 2001, and in North America on October 25, 2002. It featured two [[legendary Pokémon]] prominent in {{game|Crystal}}: {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}.

The [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga finally caught up to the second generation on August 8, 2001, when {{PAV|8}} was published in Japan, starting [[Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Adventures)|a new chapter]]. This chapter was much longer than the previous chapters of the series, lasting no less than 7 full volumes. Additionally, this is the only volume to share its release date with future volumes in Japanese, being that the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 9|two]] [[Pokémon Adventures volume 10|after]] it were published at the same time.

{{p|Raikou}}, the only member of the [[legendary beasts]] yet to be featured in an anime movie at the time, received its own made-for-TV special, ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', on December 30, 2001. This special didn't feature {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, but rather new characters based on the [[player character]]s of the second generation.

On July 13, 2002, the fifth and final movie of the [[original series]], ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', was released in Japanese theaters. Distributed on limited release by [[Miramax Films]], it opened in select American theaters on May 16, 2003.

==Generation III==
===Advancing to a new age===
[[File:EP205.png|left|thumb|The first Kecleon]]In July 2001 [[EP205|an episode]] of the anime aired in Japan featuring a Pokémon never previously seen - {{p|Kecleon}}. Soon, Kecleon and others like {{p|Wynaut}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Duskull}} and {{p|Volbeat}} showed up in theaters in two [[PK10|Pikachu]] [[PK11|shorts]] while {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} were featured in [[M05|the fifth]] Pokémon movie. During the [[Silver Conference]] Ash battled {{jo|Harrison}}, a Trainer from [[Littleroot Town]] in [[Hoenn]]. [[Professor Birch]], along {{p|Poochyena|with}} {{p|Lotad|other}} {{p|Sharpedo|Pokémon}}, made a cameo in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''. Through this, it became known that the next generation of Pokémon was just around the corner.

Indeed, a major overhaul of the main game series occurred when Pokémon arrived on the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 21, 2002 when {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} were released in Japan. Trainers found themselves in the southern land called [[Hoenn]] where {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 new Pokémon}} were waiting to be discovered. The games reached North America on March 18, 2003 and had many new features, the most prominent being [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[Double Battle]]s, Pokémon [[Ability|Abilities]] and [[Nature]]s for each Pokémon, along with the reform of [[effort values]] and [[individual values]]. Also introduced in these versions were more detailed [[weather conditions]] and two new [[villainous teams]], [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to the extensive changes to the system, however, this generation was not compatible with earlier generations.

[[File:Agseries.jpg|thumb|left|A poster for the [[Advanced Generation series]] of the Pokémon anime]]The anime began a new series, {{series|Advanced Generation}}, which [[AG001|started]] in Japan on the same day as the release of the games and reached North America almost a year later. A great deal was changed in this series, including the introduction of a new main character, {{an|May}}, based on her game counterpart. Two new movies were produced during the time in [[Hoenn]]: ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (which was released on July 19, 2003 in Japan and on June 1, 2004 on video and DVD in North America) and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' (which was released on July 17, 2004 in Japan and on January 22, 2005 on North American television).

Around the same time of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, a show called ''[[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]'' began to air weekly in Japan, focusing not on {{Ash}}, but on other characters of the anime, such as {{an|Misty}}, {{An|Brock}}, {{Tracey}}, {{Gary}}, [[Ritchie]], {{an|Casey}} and [[Sakura]]. The English dubbed version, ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', first aired in the United Kingdom in May 2005, finally dubbing ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special to English along the way, three and a half years after its original Japanese airing.

[[Nintendo]] transferred the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} license from [[Wizards of the Coast]] to itself in 2003, and released {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire|its first set}} on January 31, introducing new game mechanics and a new card design. This set was released in North America on June 18, 2003.

===More spin-offs===
To solve the problem of limited Pokémon storage in the continuously growing Pokémon world, {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} was released May 30, 2003 in Japan, July 11, 2004 in North America, allowing Trainers to store up to 1,500 Pokémon from their Generation III games.

A small spin-off game named {{g|Channel}} for [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] was released in Japan on July 13, 2003. It focused on a TV-broadcasting network airing a variety of Pokémon programs, with the player playing the role of the test audience. The game also included a unique anime episode, ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''. Pokémon Channel reached North America on December 1, 2003.

On July 28, 2003, {{PAV|15}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga was first published, starting [[Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Adventures)|another chapter]], this one following the third generation's story. This was the first chapter in the series not to feature previously introduced characters. Other manga series, such as ''[[Ash and Pikachu]]'', have also moved into the RS era around the same time.

A sequel to {{g|Pinball}} met the third generation in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}} for [[Game Boy Advance]] on August 1, 2003 in Japan and on August 23, 2003 in North America.

The ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' manga series received a third generation sequel in ''[[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]]'', the {{vol|Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire|1|first volume of which}} was first released on September 25, 2003. ''[[Magical Pokémon Journey]]'' has also received a sequel in the form of ''[[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]]'', first published on December 29, 2003.

The 3D version of [[Generation III]] came in the form of {{g|Colosseum}} on November 21, 2003 in Japan and March 22nd, 2004 in North America on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. Unlike the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], this game also featured an RPG taking place in the desolate [[region]] of [[Orre]]. The game's main addition to the growing [[Pokémon universe]] was [[Shadow Pokémon]].

===Back to Kanto and onward to the Battle Frontier===
[[File:FireRed EN US boxart.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon FireRed Version box art]]On January 29, 2004, two new [[version|games]] were released in Japan: {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. They arrived in North America on September 9, 2004, and were remakes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} which brought the games up to Generation III standards, as well as adding wireless connectivity (through a [[GBA Wireless Adapter|wireless adapter]] for the Game Boy Advance) and a new region — the [[Sevii Islands]]. These games also gave the [[event Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}} [[Form differences|two additional forms]], which could only be obtained by moving Deoxys to a {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}} or {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}} cartridge.

Not yet finished with the [[Hoenn]] story, Game Freak developed a third version to complement Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, {{game|Emerald}}. This game was released in Japan on September 16, 2004, and in North America on May 1, 2005. Emerald featured the same wireless connectivity as FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as an updated version of Hoenn with many new features, including the Hoenn {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, the ability to re-battle Gym Leaders, an altered plot, and animations for all Pokémon, as in Crystal.

The {{pkmn|anime}} [[AG132|caught up]] with both the Generation I remakes and Emerald by having the group travel back to [[Kanto]] and face the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} there. During this season's time two more movies were produced: ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (premiering in Japan on July 16, 2005) and ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' (debuting in Japanese cinemas on July 15, 2006).

On August 28, 2006, {{PAV|22}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga was published, starting the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, and on June 23, 2007, {{PAV|26}} started the {{chap|Emerald}}. Another short manga series called ''[[Pokémon Battle Frontier]]'' was written by [[Shigekatsu Ihara]], focusing on the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

===Original new concepts===
A spin-off racing game called {{g|Dash}} was released in Japan on December 2, 2004 and in North America on March 14, 2005. It was the first of many Pokémon games made for the [[Nintendo DS]].

On August 4, 2005, Trainers were invited back to [[Orre]] in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], a sequel to {{g|Colosseum}} taking place about five years later. This game found its way to North America on October 3, 2005.

A spin-off puzzle game, {{g|Trozei!}}, was released on October 20, 2005 in Japan and on March 6, 2006 in North America. The game had a story mode, which followed [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] as she attempted to take down the [[Phobos Battalion]].

Starting with the {{Trading Card Game}} expansion {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}, which was released on October 28, 2005 in Japan and only three days later in the United States, a new special kind of Pokémon called {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} was introduced. δ Delta Species Pokémon were found only in a few TCG expansions, and were given a backstory involving a new region called [[Holon]].

[[File:Ranger EN boxart.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Pokémon Ranger box art]]A new style of play saw light on November 17, 2005, with {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} — a pair of games, one for [[Game Boy Advance]] and one for [[Nintendo DS]] — in which the {{player}} is turned into a Pokémon. The games, released in North America on September 18, 2006, received adaptations in the anime episode ''[[SS019]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

Another new twist on Pokémon came in the spin-off [[Nintendo DS]] game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} on March 23, 2006. This time, players didn't play as regular [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, but as {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s traveling the land of [[Fiore]] with a device called the [[Capture Styler]] instead of [[Poké Ball]]s. It was released in North America on October 30, 2006. The game was also promoted in the anime through the appearance of Pokémon Rangers in [[AG155|the main series]], [[AG171|a special episode]] and [[M09|the ninth movie]], and in a short [[W Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger - the Comic|manga series]].

===Ten years of Pokémon===
2006 was marked officially as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Pokémon's tenth anniversary]], and was celebrated as such in many ways, such as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America|Journey Across America]]. Among other things, an English CD was released titled ''{{OBP|Pokémon X|CD}} - 10 Years of Pokémon''.

On April 29, 2006, a special episode of the {{pkmn|anime}} called ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' was broadcast in the United States. This was the first episode to use [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s new voice actors (Pokémon USA at the time), causing big [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|controversy]] among the Pokémon fan community. The special was eventually broadcast in Japan as streaming video from the TV Tokyo ''Anitele'' web site from October 13 to October 31, 2006.

In fall 2006, another section of the Pokémon franchise was created in the form of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]] in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia, made by [[Kaiyodo]]. The figures reached North America and Japan in 2007.

==Generation IV==
===Diamond and Pearl===
[[File:Dpseries.jpg|thumb|right|A poster for the Diamond & Pearl anime series]]Just like with {{p|Kecleon}} in [[Generation III]], the public learned of [[Generation IV]] through a new Pokémon — {{p|Munchlax}} — in May 2004. Munchlax was soon featured in {{g|Dash}}, as well as [[M07|the seventh movie]] and later [[May's Munchlax|the main anime]]. Others such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, and {{p|Weavile}} then made their way to [[M08|the eighth movie]], and {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}}, and {{p|Chatot}} appeared in [[M09|the ninth]], which featured {{p|Manaphy}} — a new [[legendary Pokémon]] that even became obtainable in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}.

{{2v|Diamond|Pearl}} were eventually released for [[Nintendo DS]] in Japan on September 28, 2006, and in North America on April 22, 2007. Along with {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}} in the new huge land of [[Sinnoh]], these games offered a pseudo-3D rendering of the overworld, the return of the [[time]] system, visible [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences between Pokémon]], a split between [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s, a new [[villainous team]], known as [[Team Galactic]] and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s.

The anime {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[DP001|started]] in Japan and in the US in synchronization with the release of the games. Like the previous series, it introduced a new female character, {{an|Dawn}}, based on her game counterpart.

The three {{pkmn|movie}}s of this series form a continuous trilogy. The first part of the trilogy, ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', premiered on July 14, 2007 in Japanese theaters, and aired on February 24, 2008 on North American televisions. The second part, ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' premiered in Japan on July 19, 2008, and aired on February 13, 2009 on North American televisions. The third and final movie of the trilogy, ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', premiered on July 18, 2009 in Japan, has aired on Cartoon Network in the United States on November 20, 2009.

A new {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl|TCG set}} was released in Japan on November 30, 2006 and in the United States on May 23, 2007, featuring the new Pokémon from [[Sinnoh]].

===New sequels===
[[File:Battle Revolution EN boxart.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Pokémon Battle Revolution box art]]On December 14, 2006, two weeks after the launch of Nintendo's [[Wii]] console, [[Generation IV]] Pokémon turned 3D in the form of {{g|Battle Revolution}}. It was released in the United States on June 25, 2007.

Several manga series were written for the fourth generation. The first volume of ''{{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}}'', the new sequel of ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]]'', was published in Japan on January 26, 2007. One month later, on February 27, [[Shigekatsu Ihara]]'s ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]'' was first published.

The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|paired sequels for]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] for [[Nintendo DS]] were released in Japan on September 13, 2007 and in North America on April 20, 2008. Just like before, [[SS020|an anime adaptation]] was also produced and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team|a manga series]] was published.

{{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s were also brought into the fourth generation in a sequel called {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, set in the new land of [[Almia]]. It was released in Japan on March 20, 2008 and in North America on November 10, 2008. An [[DP071|Anime]] [[DP072|special]] was also produced and aired on the same day as the Japanese release, and a [[Darkrai Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger Vatonage - the Comic|short manga]] was posted as a webcomic on the Japanese Pokémon website. In March 6, 2010, another Ranger game, {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}} was released in Japan. The new game set in the [[region]] of [[Oblivia]] was followed by [[SS022|several]] [[SS023|anime]] [[DP169|specials]].

Like with Pokémon Box: Ruby and Sapphire in Generation III, a storage game titled [[My Pokémon Ranch]] was released on March 25, 2008 in Japan and on June 9, 2008 in North America, featuring the character of [[Hayley]].

Another manga series, [[Miho Asada]]'s ''[[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]]'' was collected and published on March 28, 2008. [[Pokémon Adventures]] then started its {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} with {{PAV|30}} on December 25, 2008 and later the {{chap|Platinum}} with the volume {{PAV|38}} on February 28, 2011.

The third [[version]] of [[Generation IV]], {{v|Platinum}}, was released on September 13, 2008 in Japan and on March 22, 2009 in North America, bringing new [[Form differences|Pokémon forms]] into the ring for {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Rotom}}, as well as updates similar to those found in Pokémon Emerald.

{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} was followed by a third version, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], which was released in Japan on April 18, 2009. Just like the third versions of the main series, Explorers of Sky had additional content. [[SS021|Another anime adaptation]] was produced as well. [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Another set of games]] of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series was also produced for WiiWare, released in Japan on August 4, 2009.

===Johto's Heart and Soul===
[[File:LugiaLEGENDHeartGoldSoulSilver113.jpg|thumb|150px|right|{{TCG ID|SoulSilver Collection|Lugia LEGEND|29}}]]Ever since the [[Generation III]] remakes for the incompatible [[Generation I]] {{2v2|Red|Green}} games, Pokémon fans have widely speculated that remakes of the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games, {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, would be made for [[Nintendo DS]]. Indeed, the paired remakes, titled {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, were eventually released in Japan on September 12, 2009, and were released in the United States on March 14, 2010. The games were referred to in the {{pkmn|anime}} in [[DP143|an episode]] that featured {{an|Lyra|the counterpart of the new player character}} and the three starter Pokémon of [[Johto]], {{TP|Dawn|one of whom|Quilava}} even joined the regular cast. {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver|A new expansion set}} for the TCG was also released to celebrate the new games.

Some manga series followed the release of the games, such as a new sequel to Pokémon Pocket Monsters, titled ''[[Pocket Monsters HGSS (Kosaku Anakubo)|Pocket Monsters HGSS]]'', of which the first volume was released in June 28, 2011. {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver|A new chapter}} of Pokémon Adventures was released, with the first volume coming out in June 28, 2012.

A new game for the Wii: [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], was released on December 5, 2009. The game was released in North America and Europe in the spring of 2010.

==Generation V==
===A Fresh Start===
[[File:White EN boxart.png|thumb|left|Pokémon White box]]On February 7, 2010, [[Pokémon Sunday]] revealed a new Pokémon: {{p|Zoroark}}. [[Generation V]] was dawning, and it quickly became clear that even though the new games, {{game|Black and White|s}}, would again be on the Nintendo DS platform, everything about them would be quite new. In an unexpected move, Nintendo revealed that no old Pokémon would be available in the games until the main storyline had been completed, effectively giving both new and old Trainers in [[Unova]], a region based on the New York City metropolitan area, rather than Japan, a completely fresh experience. On September 18, 2010, when the games were released in Japan, {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|156 new Pokémon}} were introduced, making this the biggest Pokémon generation yet.

Maintaining the innovations of Generation IV, Black and White added further to the time system that had been introduced more than ten years prior, now having the [[seasons]] change, and with them, Pokémon distribution and the time of day, with days being longer during summer and shorter during winter. The sprite animation system introduced in Generation III with Emerald was also done away with, returning Pokémon sprites to a system more like that of Crystal in Generation II - though now Pokémon move throughout the battle. Pokémon Contests have disappeared completely, with [[Pokémon Musical]] taking their place, though [[moves]] and [[condition]] have no purpose in these competitions. [[Triple Battle]]s, an expansion on the Double Battle concept introduced two generations prior, made position, as well as team cohesiveness, an important part of battle.

Unlike previous paired games, which generally differed only in Pokémon distribution, and ultimately, the availability of [[version mascot|the Pokémon on the boxart]] at the conclusion of the main storyline, Black and White feature greater differences between the worlds of the opposite versions on level with those between paired and third version of earlier generations - [[Opelucid City]] in Black is highly technological, while in White it is laid-back and traditional, whereas two version-exclusive locations, [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], appear in the same location in their same-name version.

[[File:BWseries.png|thumb|right|A poster for the ''[[Best Wishes series]]'' of the Pokémon anime]]
The anime was quick to follow with a new series, {{series2|Best Wishes}}. Unlike previous generations, no Pokémon from Generation V were shown in the closing episodes of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, although the thirteenth movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark Master of Illusions]]'', featured {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} as major characters, the only Generation V Pokémon featured prior to ''Best Wishes''.

Similar to the original series, Ash's companions this time around are two Gym Leaders: {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}}. Like the games, the new series was also given a facelift. No Pokémon from previous generations (apart from [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{MTR}}) are shown in the episodes. Longtime anime characters, including the protagonist [[Ash Ketchum]] receive an upgraded appearance, most notably in regards to their eyes.

In an unprecedented move, ''two'' movies, rather than one, were released together as [[M14|the fourteenth Pokémon movie]], though the differences between the two are much alike the differences between Black Version and White Version.

Several manga series were released based on the games, such as a sequel to Pokémon Pocket Monsters, titled ''[[Pocket Monsters BW (Kosaku Anakubo)|Pocket Monsters BW]]'', ''[[Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder]]'', among many others. [[Pokémon Adventures]] also jumped to the new generation, with the first volume of {{chap|Black & White}} released in January 25, 2013.

===It's a second step into Unova===
It was always anticipated that Black and White would eventually get a third version, as past generations have. Many assumed it would be called "Pokémon Grey Version". However, this time there would be sequels, and with a different plot altogether.

Sequels to Black and White, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], were released to Japan in June 2012 and came to North America, Europe and Australia in October 2012. The games feature two new forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, called Black Kyurem (Japanese: ブラックキュレム) and White Kyurem (Japanese: ホワイトキュレム), as well as new forms of the [[Kami trio]] and {{p|Keldeo}}. The games take place two years after Black and White, and many things have changed in the Unova region.

==Generation VI==
On January 8, 2013, Nintendo simultaneously announced to the world that a new generation of Pokémon would be coming to the world through a special edition of [[Nintendo Direct]], called ''Pokémon Direct''. {{g|X and Y}}, the first games in Gen VI, were revealed and are scheduled to be released sometime in October 2013. These two games will introduce several new Pokémon, and the Pokémon series will be taking a new leap into the 3D world on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Shown during the unveiling were three new [[Starter Pokémon]]. In addition, for the first time in the franchise's history, the new games would be released to most of the world on the same day.

==The future of Pokémon==
{{cleanup|section}}
The history of the Pokémon media franchise already spans two decades, and is rich with content.

Five [[generation]]s, many [[version|main series games]], and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] have been released, and a new generation is currently in the works. Also, a {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, five series of {{pkmn|anime}} with sixteen {{pkmn|movie}}s, many series of {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Pokémon Live!|a musical]], and plenty of {{cat|music}}, are available. Even though all of this content is available, the future has a lot in store.

As [[Generation VI]] has been announced, at least two games will be released as part of it. The Pokémon total is likely to fall beyond 750. As with previous generations, it is speculated that it will not be the last one. Further generations of games may come in time, extending the series farther, with the Pokémon total increasing steadily. However, for now, only time will tell.

'''Oshawott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミジュマル''' ''Mijumaru'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dewott}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Samurott}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, Oshawott is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Unova]] available at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oshawott is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon, primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Oshawott has a rounded, spherical white head, with small, triangular dark-blue ears to the sides. Oshawott's eyes are large, dark, and ovoid in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like an oval on its side. Oshawott also possesses speckles to the sides of its face, most likely meant to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers in the common manner of cartoon canines, and light blue bubble-esque features composing a "collar" around its neck. Oshawott's torso is light blue, and decorated with a pale yellow seashell feature in the center. Made out of {{wp|keratin}}, this appendage, called a "[[scalchop]]", can be removed and used in various ways; mainly, as a weapon. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, with its feet—having, unlike its forearms, discernible digits—colored dark blue. Oshawott also possesses a slightly plank-shaped dark blue tail and a pair of fangs unseen until it opens its mouth.

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

===Special abilities===
It can fight skillfully by detaching the [[scalchop]] on its belly. The scalchop can be used for a variety of different purposes, such as a sword, shield, and boomerang. It also uses it to break open hard berries. The scalchop grows from its bellybutton.

===Behavior===
If Oshawott is attacked, it will fight back using its scalchop without any hesitation. When eating, Oshawott uses its forepaws to move food to its mouth, rather than going down on all fours to eat it.

===Habitat===
Oshawott mainly live in water but may come to land.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Oshawott uses its scalchop to open hard berries.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Oshawott]]====
Ash's Oshawott first appears in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', under the ownership of [[Professor Juniper]]. He begins to admire Ash and decides to leave the lab and follow him wherever he goes. He then saves {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} from {{TRT}} in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'' and reappears again in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' where he officially joins Ash's [[party]].

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' multiple Trainers' Oshawott were seen at a [[Poké Mart]].

Later, a flashback of [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Dewott}} as an Oshawott was shown after it had been beaten by [[Cilan's Pansage]].

Another Oshawott appeared in [[BW109]] as a starter Professor Juniper offered for [[Nonomi]]. However, she chose {{p|Tepig}} instead.

When [[Tep]] and Snivy begin fighting, Oshawott attempts to break them up, only to get hurt in the process. After getting annoyed, it attacks them and sends Tep running off. It was later chosen by {{adv|Bianca}} because she thought it was cute.

[[Cedric Juniper]] originally had one that was supposed to be given to new Trainers, but he decided to keep it after [[N]] failed to liberate it.

===As the player===
Oshawott appears as one of the [[player character]] in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. He's a self-proclaimed investigator for the [[Cove Area]]. At first he is suspicious of {{OBP|Pikachu|PokéPark}} and attempts to interrogate him, until {{OBP|Piplup|PokéPark}} tells Oshawott that Pikachu is a friend. Oshawott later chases after Pikachu and Piplup after they enter the [[Wish Park]], and narrowly escapes from {{p|Cofagrigus}} with Pikachu. Oshawott's boss and mentor, {{p|Samurott}} then orders Oshawott to work together with Pikachu to investigate the Wish Park and anyone involved, and to rescue Piplup.

==Trivia==
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Oshawott and its fellow [[Unova]] starter Pokémon were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Oshawott is the only {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon to be based on a mammal.
* Oshawott is the only starter Pokémon whose name begins with a vowel, discounting {{p|Eevee}}.
* Oshawott and its evolutions are the only {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon that are not in any of the Water [[Egg Group]]s, being exclusive to the {{egg3|Field}}.
* Oshawott has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon.
* Oshawott, along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, has the lowest [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|base experience yield]], with a base of 28.
* [[Ken Sugimori]] said that Oshawott and its evolutions were the hardest for the team to design during production, as conceptualizing its evolutions were difficult. They eventually settled on a samurai theme and making its final form a sea lion after a trip to an aquarium.<ref>http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Pia_information_begins_to_surface</ref>
* Oshawott, along with the other two Unova starter Pokémon, are the only starter Pokémon to evolve at an odd number: 17.
* Oshawott's evolutionary line and {{p|Turtwig}}'s evolutionary line are the only starter Pokémon evolutionary lines that share Hidden Abilities.
* Oshawott is the only Pokémon introduced in Generation V whose name starts with O.

===Origin===
Oshawott is based on a {{wp|sea otter}} pup and {{wp|samurai}}<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html (dead link)</ref>. The way that Oshawott's [[scalchop]] rests on its belly resembles the way otters look when cracking open shells to eat. This scalchop also holds similarities with {{wp|Japanese war fan}}s, which were often used by samurai for defensive purposes.

====Name origin====
Oshawott may be a combination of ''ocean'', ''shell'', ''water'', and ''{{wp|otter}}''. It may be a reference to {{wp|Oshawa}}, {{wp|Canada}}, as Canada contains many protected areas in which sea otters reside, the name of which comes from the Ojibwa word ''aazhaway'' ("crossing the river" or "to leave one's canoe behind"). It may also derive from {{wp|George Ohsawa}}, a famed dietitian born into a poor samurai family during the {{wp|Meiji Restoration}} of Japan.

Mijumaru may be a combination of 水 ''mizu'' (water) or 未熟 ''mijuku'' (naive or immature) and 丸 ''maru'' (round). ''Maru'' is also a common suffix in male Japanese names. ''Miju'' may also refer to an otter named ''Mijbil'', the subject of an autoboigraphical novel and movie called ''{{wp|Ring of Bright Water}}''.

'''Luxray''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レントラー''' ''Rentorar'') is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Luxio}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Shinx}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Luxray's appearance is based on that of a fully-grown lion. It has three gold-colored rings on the backs of its legs, similar to Luxio (which has two) and Shinx (which has one) and has eyes with golden pupils and irises and red {{wp|sclera}}s. Luxray has a blue body partly covered with a spiky black mane from its head to its front legs and parts of its back legs. It has a long, thin black tail with a gold four-pointed star shape on the tip.

====Gender differences====
The female has a shorter {{wp|mane}} than the male.

===Special abilities===
Luxray have extraordinary eyesight. It is so powerful that they can see through most objects and walls, like x-ray vision.

===Behavior===
Luxray are extremely vicious and predatorial, although when tamed and trained correctly they can become very loyal and faithful, protecting their Trainer from danger. They tend to be stubborn and can administer extreme amounts of power through their electricity. Because of their flawless x-ray like vision, practically nothing can go unseen by their eyes. Abusing a Luxray can cause it to become antagonistic and vengeful towards their Trainer. Luxray need a lot of compassion and praise to maintain their satisfaction, as they are proud creatures. While generally independent, Luxray may band together in large groups and look out for one another in the wild.

===Habitat===
It lives in plains and various grassy areas. This may relate to how it is based on a lion.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In the wild, Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray generally hunt for food.

==In the anime==
[[File:Volkner Luxray.png|thumb|right|250px|Luxray in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Luxray first appeared in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. During [[Alice]]'s flashback, [[Alicia]] was running up a hill to the garden. She saw Luxray fire a {{m|Hyper Beam}} upon {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}}, but Darkrai retaliated with a {{m|Dark Void}}, trapping Luxray into a nightmare. However, Alice played [[Oración]], allowing it and the other affected Pokémon to sleep peacefully.

[[Marble]] owns a Luxray, appearing in ''[[DP059|Luxray Vision!]]''.

Another Luxray appeared in ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'' under the ownership of [[Volkner]]. It also appeared in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'' where it was used in the Gym battle against {{Ash}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Luxray is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

Another Luxray got a cameo in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', under the ownership of [[Jeffrey]].

A photograph of a Luxray appeared in ''[[BW054|The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck!]]''.

In the ''{{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}}'' manga, [[Damos]] owns a Luxray.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Rayler}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Mars]] used her Luxray to steal energy from [[Valley Windworks]]. In the graphic novel releases, however, {{p|Electivire}} assumes this role.

Later, when the trio are traveling through [[Mt. Coronet]], a Luxray that evolved from a {{p|Luxio}} they had helped earlier in their journey saved {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} after they were trapped by a rock slide. This same Luxray later appeared to Pearl as he was traveling to [[Lake Valor]], and after defeating the {{p|Houndoom}} that was trying to burn them alive, joined him as his third Pokémon, now named Rayler.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
[[Hareta]]'s {{p|Luxio}} evolved into Luxray during his {{si|Pokémon League}} battle with [[Koya]].

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Luxray is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 523.
* Even though Luxray is renowned for its {{wp|X-ray}} like vision, there is no move or Ability associated with it. It cannot even learn {{m|Foresight}}.

===Origin===
Luxray is based on an adult male {{wp|lion}}, or possibly the constellation Leo, due to the fact that it resembles a lion and bears a star shape on the end of its tail. In addition, in European mythology, the lynx was said to have the supernatural power to see through solid objects, much like Luxray.

====Name origin====
Luxray is derived from ''{{wp|lux}}'' (a measure of brightness) and ''x-ray'' (referring to its x-ray vision).

Rentorar may be a combination of ''lens'' and 虎 ''tora'' (tiger).

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Dash''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンダッシュ''' ''Pokémon Dash'') is a [[Pokémon]] racing game for [[Nintendo DS]]. It was the first Pokémon game released for the Nintendo DS and the first game to feature a [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, {{p|Munchlax}}. The {{player}} plays as {{p|Pikachu}}, sliding the stylus across the touch screen in order to keep Pikachu moving, and competing against other Pokémon in the various game modes and racing Cups.

To allow the player to become familiar with the game's controls, the game first offers a practice mode. After the player completes it, the various game modes and Cups become accessible.

The game has 5 Cups: Green Cup, White Cup, Blue Cup, Yellow Cup, and Red Cup, each consisting of 5 courses. The courses differ in the various Grand Prixes and the other game modes. In order to unlock a new Grand Prix, the player needs to complete the previous Prix first by winning all five of its Cups.

There is also a mode which allows the player to create his or her own Cups with courses made of Pokémon sprites from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} versions. This mode is unlocked along with the Hard Grand Prix mode, after the player has completed the Regular Grand Prix.

==Blurb==
Become the Pokémon Dash Grand Prix Champion! Make tracks as you put Pikachu through its paces around the course. Race against the clock and other Pokémon rivals passing the checkpoints as you head toward the goal. Fast-Action Fun!

Race your rivals! - You can race as Pikachu in a whole new way using the stylus slide-action to reach the goal in record time. Don't be beaten by your rivals!

Meet {{p|Munchlax}}! - It's a mad dash racing against rival Pokémon. Don't be surprised when you run across an unfamiliar face. Meet Munchlax, the pre-evolved form of {{p|Snorlax}}.

Connect for more courses! - Hook up with Game Boy Advance Pokémon versions: Ruby, Sapphire, Firered, Leafgreen, and Emerald to create new courses in the shape of your GBA Pokémon!
* Up to six players can compete using their own Pokémon Dash Game Card!

==Single player==
===Regular GP and Hard GP===
In these modes, the player races from checkpoint to checkpoint in a specified order. The player competes with about equally-sized Pokémon.

In Regular GP, the opponents are: Torchic, Teddiursa, Bulbasaur, Muchlax, and Meowth.

In Hard GP, the opponents are Pichu, Mudkip, Wynaut, Torchic, Charmander, and Jigglypuff.

===Expert GP===
In the Expert mode, the player starts from the hot-air balloon with a view over the whole course. The players then dives towards the ground and the race begins. All checkpoints must be reached, but in any order. This gives the player the opportunity to choose where to start the race and allows him to play in his own way and with his own strategy. The player will now also compete with larger Pokémon such as {{p|Blaziken}} or {{p|Mightyena}}, making the races more difficult.

In Expert GP, the opponents are Treecko, Marril, Blaziken, Mightyena, Aipom, and Pikachu.

===Time Attack===
Time Attack mode allows a player to re-play any course they have previously completed. The objective of a Time Attack is to complete the entire course in the fastest amount of time possible. Time Attacks are not competitive and there are no CPU-controlled opponents, only the {{player}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}.

==Multiplayer==
There is a multiplayer mode which can support up to six players. Players may race in any previously completed course. Pokémon Dash does not support DS Download Play, requiring every player to own a copy of the game.

==Special courses==
[[File:Pokemon Dash Map.png|thumb|right|Map of courses in Pokémon Dash]]
Pokémon Dash includes 420 special courses. Most of them are obtainable by inserting a [[Version|main series game]] in the GBA slot of a Nintendo DS and selecting from the party a Pokémon whose {{game|Emerald}} sprite will become a course map. Besides these 417 different courses (every Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]], including {{p|Unown}}'s and {{p|Deoxys}}'s alternate [[Form differences|forms]], and an {{pkmn|Egg}}), there are also three special courses that can be downloaded from official events which star a flying {{p|Munchlax}}, a {{DL|Pikachu variants|Flying Pikachu}} and a {{p|Pikachu}} on a {{p|Lapras}}.

| Pikachu and Lapras
|}

==Reception==
The game received a lukewarm reception, mainly due to the fact that the player could only play as {{p|Pikachu}} in single player. Another common complaint was that the game could potentially be finished within hours.

==Trivia==
* Although this is a [[Generation III]] game, it features {{p|Munchlax}} fairly prominently (moreso than other games in which Munchlax appeared, such as {{Pokémon XD}}).
* If {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{p|Munchlax}} are all present in [[My Pokémon Ranch]], the Dash event may trigger, where these Pokémon race against each other.
* Pokémon Dash is the first Pokémon game to be released for the [[Nintendo DS]].

I'm glad "Capsule Monsters" didn't stay. If it did stay, they would've been called "Capsümon" or something in America. I don't think "Capsümon" would have the same appeal.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 17:47, 1 September 2005 (CDT)
:Not necessarily, since there wouldn't be any risk of copyright infringment like there was with the ''Monster in My Pocket'' franchise.[[User:Woopert|Woopert]] 21:08, 9 September 2005 (CDT)

==The 1975 manga==
Both this article and a [http://www.pokecharms.com/games/gameboy/rbg/ page on PokéCharms] have information on a manga released in 1975 called ''Capsule Monsters'' which, according to these pages, was the precursor to what eventually became [[Pokémon Red and Green]]. Lately I've been curious about the source of this information, doing several Google searches and even looking through a [http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4872338332/249-7263989-0526765 book about Satoshi Tajiri] that I recently ordered from Amazon.co.jp, but so far I haven't found anything.

Now, it's likely that I haven't looked hard enough, but the skeptic in me has doubts about the existence of this manga. Anyone care to direct me to a source so I can set aside these doubts? [[User:Woopert|Woopert]] 21:08, 9 September 2005 (CDT)

I can find references to Capsule Monsters being the prototype name for Pocket Monsters on Japanese webpages, but nothing specific regarding any manga. --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 23:12, 9 September 2005 (CDT)

The implication given in this article is that Tajiri and friends made Capsule Monsters in 1975 - at the age of 10, 9 for Sugimori, and that Game Freak and Creatures existed before then. This is highly improbable. [[User:Punkrockrevel|Punkrockrevel]] 09:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe I can finally clarify this. I've traced this rumor back to a single magazine: the "100% Unofficial Pokémon Trainer's Guide" published by Hard Core Gaming Guides. In it, there is a timeline of Pokémon that claims that they debuted in a manga in the 1970s. The picture of said manga? A close-up of ''Doraemon''! Clearly, whoever was during research for this magazine just assumed that one "mon" was as good as another. I hope this finally puts this rumor to rest. --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] ([[User talk:Zeta|talk]]) 23:45, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

I think this page needs more. It's very game-centric, barely mentioning the anime and manga and the other parts of the franchise that made it a worldwide phenomenon. It also editorializes. Who's to say that D/P makes a "wonderful addition" to the franchise? Just a thought. --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 18:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
:Agreed on both points. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 18:59, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

== Capsule Monsters ==

I think the idea of Capsule Monsters comes from Ultramen series. Capsule Monsters was first appeared in Ultra Seven (October 1, 1967 – September 8, 1968). Quote from Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Seven ):
"Capsule monsters: When unable to fight (usually because his Ultra Eye has been stolen), Dan will often produce a small capsule that releases a giant-sized monster to fight in his place. Although he is shown to have four or five capsules, only three capsule monsters are shown in the series, Windam, Micras, and Agira."
Also, Satoshi Tajiri in his interview ( http://www.time.com/time/asia/magazine/99/1122/pokemon6.fullinterview1.html ) waw said:
"Everything I did as a kid is kind of rolled into one--that's what Pokémon is. Playing video games, watching TV, Ultraman with his capsule monsters--they all became ingredients for the game."
And also:
"I was absorbed with Ultraman on TV and in manga."

Could we maybe redo this article so it's less...blatant? Most of it, the Diamond and Pearl section ''especially,'' sounds like a Nintendo PR wrote it.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 01:19, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, I gave this article a much-needed makeover and made it as wide as possible, coverig all (if that's even possible) areas of Pokémon. It is now almost three times its original size and I think I'm done, but I still think something's missing. My manga and TCG knowledge is limited, and there are other things I might've forgot. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]] ([[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|TALK]]) 08:49, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

== manga's english resurgence ==

I was thinking, maybe there should be something about how lately many of the manga series are now appearing in english. Over the last year whenever i'd browse the manga section at my local bookstore, i've been seeing more and more Pokemon manga each time: The Mystery Dungeons mangas, Movie adaptions, DP Adventures, and now the new re-releases of Pokemon Adventures.

Maybe the article should say something like "though initially not many of the mangas were released in the U.S., and those that were didn't sell well, lately a lot of mangas are now being released in the US for the first time, as well as re-releases of the ones that were previously released here."

I'm sure someone else can come up with something better sounding that fits the tone of the article, but hopefully yo get what i mean, though. [[User:Morgil27|Morgil27]] 22:02, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

'''Golurk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルーグ''' ''Goruugu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Ghost}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Golett}} starting at level 43.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Golurk resembles a suit of armor possessed by a ghost. It has a small head compared to its body, and large bangles on all its limbs. There is also a crack across the chest of the armor which is patched diagonally in the opposite orientation which resembles a belt. It has a crystal-like formation on its shoulders. It has a Roman-armor-like "skirt" and flat feet beneath.
====Gender differences====
Golurk is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Despite its large size, Golurk is capable of {{m|fly}}ing. By inserting its hands in its arms and inserting its legs and feet in its body, it can take off like a rocket. An undefinable energy burns inside it, and if the seal on its chest is taken off, the energy will go out of control.

===Behavior===
Golurk was created to protect people and Pokémon. If the bandage-like seal on it's chest is removed its power will run wild and it will {{m|Fly}} uncontrollably without being able to land or stop itself.

==Trivia==
* While many Pokémon are able to have up to three different abilities legitimately, with two primary abilities and a hidden ability, Basculin is the only Pokémon capable of legitimately having four different abilities, with {{a|Rock Head}} being the ability had by an NPC-traded Basculin in [[Driftveil City]] in {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon White|s}}.
* According to interviews with [[Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Basculin was created late in development when they realized there were few fish Pokémon in Unova. It was given two forms to make up for the small amount of fish in the region, and based on a bass since there are wild bass in New York state.

===Origin===
Basculin were most likely inspired by {{wp|Siamese fighting fish|betta fish}}. Both sexes of betta display horizontal bars of color either when frightened or setting up a pecking order. They are very violent and can even fight to the death. Its appearance may have been based on a {{wp|bass (fish)|bass}} or {{wp|piranha}}, one of which has historically been viewed as violent.

====Name origin====
Its English name is a combination of ''bass'' and a corruption of ''masculine''. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of バス ''basu'' meaning bass, and 丈夫 ''masurao'' meaning warrior, referring to its {{a|Reckless|bold, violent nature}}. Alternatively, it could refer to バカラオ ''bakarao'', ''{{wp|bacalhau}}''.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Ferroseed and its {{p|Ferrothorn|evolved form}}.
** Similarly, no other Pokémon have the same [[egg group]] combination as Ferroseed and its evolved form.
** Ferroseed and its evolution have the fewest weaknesses of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
* Ferroseed is both the slowest {{type|Grass}} Pokémon and the slowest {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
* Despite being Grass-type, it cannot learn any damaging Grass-type moves by level up.
* Ferroseed can learn {{m|Metal Claw}} and {{m|Hone Claws}} despite having no visible hands.
** Ferroseed cannot learn {{m|Rapid Spin}}, despite its battle animation showing it constantly spinning.

===Origin===
Ferroseed may be based on {{wp|Cocklebur}}s, {{wp|durian}}s, or conkers, seeds from {{wp|Aesculus hippocastanum|horse-chestnut trees}} or {{wp|Datura}}, all of which are known for their tough skin and thorns. It may also be based on a {{wp|mace (club)|mace}} or {{wp|flail (weapon)|flail}}.

====Name origin====
Ferroseed is a combination of the Latin ''ferrum'' meaning "iron" (or possibly, from Portuguese ''ferro'', same meaning) and ''seed''. Similarly, Tesshido is likely a combination of 鉄 ''tetsu'', iron, and シード ''shīdo'', seed.

==Trivia==
* Heatmor and {{p|Durant}} appear to be rivals.
** Unlike most Pokémon rivalries, Durant is at a severe disadvantage against Heatmor since it has a 4× weakness to Heatmor's type. However, this was probably done to reflect that anteaters eat ants.
* Heatmor, along with {{p|Torkoal}}, are the only non-legendary {{type2|Fire}} that have no evolutionary relatives.
** Coincidentally, both of them are the only Pokémon to have {{a|White Smoke}} as one of their abilities.

===Origin===
Heatmor seems to be based on an {{wp|anteater}}, featuring {{wp|flamethrower}} and an {{wp|ironworks}} into its design. components. Its wrists resemble {{wp|gun barrel}}s and its tail is similar to a car's {{wp|muffler}}.

====Name origin====
Heatmor is likely a pun on ''heat'' and "''eat more,''" as in "eat more [[Durant_(Pokémon)|ants]]" or heat and armor. Its name may also be derived from ''{{wp|mortar}}'', in reference to its typing and barrel-like arms.

Kuitaran seems to be a combination of the クイ ''kui'' "eater" of アリクイ ''arikui'' "anteater" and the word "anteater" with the elements reversed. It could also be a combination and reverse of nār, meaning fire in arabic.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Elemental type|type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Hydreigon and its {{p|Deino|evolutionary}} {{p|Zweilous|relatives}}.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Hydreigon evolves from its pre-evolution later than any other Pokémon, at level 64.
* Hydreigon has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all non-legendary {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.
** Hydreigon also has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.
* Hydreigon is the only [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon to not have {{stat|Attack}} as its highest stat.
** Hydreigon is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon with more than one immunity (excluding {{p|Metagross}} using {{m|Magnet Rise}}).
* Hydreigon's evolutionary family, along with {{p|Salamence}}'s, are the only Pokémon exclusively in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* Hydreigon is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have never been used by a {{pkmn|Champion}}.
** It is, however, used by [[Ghetsis]], the Trainer who is battled at the end of the Pokémon League during the first [[Hall of Fame]] entry.
* Hydreigon is the only [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon with only {{a|Levitate|one ability}} available.
* Hydreigon can learn moves belonging to 16 of the 17 elemental types; it cannot learn any {{type2|Grass}} moves.
* Originally, according to interviews with [[Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Hydreigon and it's pre-evolutions were intended to be cybernetic dragons incorporating aspects of tanks within their bodies before being redesigned around the theme of {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}.
===Origin===
Hydreigon is based on {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}. It may also incorporate elements of {{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}}s or {{wp|Slavic dragon}}s.

====Name origin====
Hydreigon seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}}'', ''drei'', meaning three in German, and ''dragon''. Both the ''sa'' and ''zan'' in Sazandora seem to come from 三 ''sa''/''san'', or three, a reference to its three heads. The ''dora'' in its name comes from either ''dragon'' or ''hydra'', a possible reference to the multi-headed {{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}} of Greek lore.

'''Zweilous''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジヘッド''' ''Jiheddo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Dragon}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Deino}} starting at [[level]] 50, and then into {{p|Hydreigon}} starting at level 64.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Zweilous is a quadruped Pokémon that has muscular front legs with two claws on each foot, but rear legs that are less defined and have two small, backward-pointing toes without claws. Zweilous's fur is a gray-black while the body is a dark blue. There are tufts of fur over two heads with rounded points at the top, and Zweilous appears to have no eyes. There are two wings on the black section of its body that resemble the wings of {{p|Giratina}}'s Origin Forme. The fur stops at the chests and opens up to fuschia-colored striped bands on the side of Zweilous's legs.

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

===Special abilities===

===Behavior===
Zweilous's heads dislike each other. As a result the heads often turn eating into a competition.

===Habitat===
Zweilous mainly live in cities. They migrate once they have eaten all the prey in its territory.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Zweilous are carnivorous, and always eat far too much, as the heads constantly turn eating into a competition.

==Trivia==
* Zweilous is the [[List of Pokémon by name|last Pokémon in alphabetical order]].
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Zweilous evolves to its final form, Hydreigon, later than any other Pokémon, evolving at level 64.
* Zweilous's evolutionary family, along with {{p|Shelgon}}'s, are the only Pokémon exclusively in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Zweilous and its {{p|Deino|evolutionary}} {{p|Hydreigon|relatives}}.
* While its Sugimori art depicts it having two tufts of fur on each of its necks, no other rendition displays this.
* According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Zweilous and its evolution family were originally intended to be cyborg dragons - part tank and part dragon. They were then scrapped until late in the game when they were revived and re-made to be based on {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}. The tank tread-like markings on Zweilous's underbelly are a remnant of this design.

===Origin===
Zweilous draws inspiration from the {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}. It is also similar to {{wp|slavic dragon|Zmey}}s, a Slavic, winged, {{wp|Polycephaly|polycephal}} species of {{wp|dragon}}. Its Shiny coloration may be a reference to the green colored Zmey Gorynych.

====Name origin====
Zweilous's name is possibly derived from ''zwei'', meaning two in German, and ''jealous'', as the heads are always fighting each other for food. ''Zweilous'' is also phonetically similar to the term ''zealous'', which reflects Zweilous's voracious appetite and intensely competitive nature. Jiheddo's name is probably derived from 二 ''ji'', meaning two, and ''head'', literally reading as ''"two heads"''. "Ji" is also how the greek prefix "di" (two) is pronounced in Japanese, in words such as "dioxane" (''jiokisan'').

'''Zweilous''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジヘッド''' ''Jiheddo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Dragon}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Deino}} starting at [[level]] 50, and then into {{p|Hydreigon}} starting at level 64.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Zweilous is a quadruped Pokémon that has muscular front legs with two claws on each foot, but rear legs that are less defined and have two small, backward-pointing toes without claws. Zweilous's fur is a gray-black while the body is a dark blue. There are tufts of fur over two heads with rounded points at the top, and Zweilous appears to have no eyes. There are two wings on the black section of its body that resemble the wings of {{p|Giratina}}'s Origin Forme. The fur stops at the chests and opens up to fuschia-colored striped bands on the side of Zweilous's legs.

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

===Special abilities===

===Behavior===
Zweilous's heads dislike each other. As a result the heads often turn eating into a competition.

===Habitat===
Zweilous mainly live in cities. They migrate once they have eaten all the prey in its territory.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Zweilous are carnivorous, and always eat far too much, as the heads constantly turn eating into a competition.

* Zweilous is the [[List of Pokémon by name|last Pokémon in alphabetical order]].
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Zweilous evolves to its final form, Hydreigon, later than any other Pokémon, evolving at level 64.
* Zweilous's evolutionary family, along with {{p|Shelgon}}'s, are the only Pokémon exclusively in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Zweilous and its {{p|Deino|evolutionary}} {{p|Hydreigon|relatives}}.
* While its Sugimori art depicts it having two tufts of fur on each of its necks, no other rendition displays this.
* According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Zweilous and its evolution family were originally intended to be cyborg dragons - part tank and part dragon. They were then scrapped until late in the game when they were revived and re-made to be based on {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}.

===Origin===
Zweilous draws inspiration from the {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}. It is also similar to {{wp|slavic dragon|Zmey}}s, a Slavic, winged, {{wp|Polycephaly|polycephal}} species of {{wp|dragon}}. Its Shiny coloration may be a reference to the green colored Zmey Gorynych.

====Name origin====
Zweilous's name is possibly derived from ''zwei'', meaning two in German, and ''jealous'', as the heads are always fighting each other for food. ''Zweilous'' is also phonetically similar to the term ''zealous'', which reflects Zweilous's voracious appetite and intensely competitive nature. Jiheddo's name is probably derived from 二 ''ji'', meaning two, and ''head'', literally reading as ''"two heads"''. "Ji" is also how the greek prefix "di" (two) is pronounced in Japanese, in words such as "dioxane" (''jiokisan'').

==Trivia==
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Deino evolves to its final form, Hydreigon, later than any other Pokémon, evolving at level 64.
** Deino also evolves into its second form at level 50, later than any other Pokémon that evolves by level than can evolve again.
* Deino's evolutionary family, along with {{p|Bagon}}'s, are the only Pokémon exclusively in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Deino and its {{p|Zweilous|evolutionary}} {{p|Hydreigon|relatives}}.
* Despite being blind, Deino is still affected by {{m|Flash|accuracy}}-{{m|Sand-Attack|reducing}} {{m|SmokeScreen|moves}} that would seemingly require the target have eyesight to work.
* According to interviews with [[Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Deino and it's evolutions were originally intended to be cyborg dragons - part tank and part dragon. They were then scrapped until late in the game when they were revived and re-made to be based on {{wp|Yamata_no_Orochi}}.

===Origin===
Deino is based on a {{wp|dragon}}, specifically an infant form of {{wp|Yamata_no_Orochi}}. Its blindness and the fact that it is only found in the {{un|Victory Road}} cave may mean it suffers from {{wp|Blind animals|subterranean blindness}}.

====Name origin====
Deino may come from ''dino'', a slang term for a dinosaur, and ''ein'', German for one. Deino could also be derived from the ancient Greek word ''deinos'', which means terrifying. Monozu probably derives from ''mono'', a Greek prefix meaning ''one'', and 頭 ''zu'', Japanese for ''head'', its full name literally reading ''"one head"''.

==Trivia==
* Sawk is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Rock Smash}} by leveling up.
* Sawk and {{p|Throh}} draw parallels to the [[Generation I]] Pokémon {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}, in that they are male-only {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon that appear to be related to each other.
* Sawk, along with {{p|Throh}}, {{p|Rufflet}}, {{p|Braviary}}, {{p|Tauros}}, and the [[Hitmons]], is one of the few gendered non-legendary Pokémon naturally occurring in the wild that cannot reproduce without a {{p|Ditto}}.
* Sawk learns only physical and status moves by level, and only Normal and Fighting-type moves.
** The only special attacks it can learn at all are {{m|Round}}, {{m|Focus Blast}}, {{m|Grass Knot}} and {{m|Hidden Power}}, and only by [[TM]].
* According to interviews with [[Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'': in development, Sawk and Throh both had horns and looked more like Oni, but these were removed so as not to clash with {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}.

===Origin===
Sawk is based on a {{wp|Karate}} fighter and an {{wp|Oni (folklore)|Oni}}.

====Name origin====
Sawk is a corruption of ''to sock'', meaning to punch. Dageki's name is likely derived from 打撃 ''dageki'', blow, strike.
