(I could have sworn he had a supporter card in the tcg, but I guess not...oh well.)
(Freeze Frame first aired on this date, so I wrote one of these for the star Pokémon of the episode.)

===Character of the day: Wattson===
===Pokémon of the day: Articuno===
* '''Wattson''' (Japanese: '''テッセン''' ''Tessen'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Mauville City]] [[Mauville Gym|Gym]]. He specializes in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, and gives away the {{badge|Dynamo}} to Pokémon trainers that successfully defeat him.
* '''Articuno''' (Japanese: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} Pokémon that debuted in [[Generation I]]. It is a [[legendary Pokémon]] and is the first of the [[legendary birds]] trio.
* His title is "The cheerfully electrifying man!"
* In [[Generation I]] games, as well as the [[Generation III]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}}, Articuno can first be seen in some binoculars on the second story of the [[gate]] between {{rt|15|Kanto}} and [[Fuchsia City]]. It can later be battled deep inside the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the games, Wattson has the player run an errand to turn off the power generator in [[New Mauville]]. Once this is accomplished, he will reward the player's efforts with [[TM24]] ({{m|Thunderbolt}})
* In [[Pokémon Platinum Version]], Articuno can be found [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] around [[Sinnoh]].
* Wattson made his debut in the anime in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'' where {{Ash}} challenged him and easily knocked out all of Wattson's Pokémon one after the other. This defeat left Wattson unmotivated and depressed, until he befriended a wild {{p|Electrike}} and helped Ash rescue a bunch of Electric-type Pokémon from {{TRT}}. He then reappeared in ''[[AG059|Manectric Charge]]'' where his Electrike evolves into a {{p|Manectric}} and he and Ash have a rematch.
* Articuno made its anime debut in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' where it raged in an epic battle against {{DL|Legendary birds (movie 2)|Zapdos}} and {{DL|Legendary birds (movie 2)|Moltres}}, ultimately causing {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}} to appear and calm their rage. It debuted in the series in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'' where [[Todd Snap|Todd]] wanted to get a [[Photography|photograph]] of it.
* In the manga, Wattson accidentally mistakes {{adv|Sapphire}} for a {{p|Donphan}}. He is later rescued by the young trainer, and he rewards her with a Dynamo Badge. He is rescued by Sapphire again when he is knocked into the sea by a {{p|Shedinja}} as he was fighting against {{p|Kyogre}}, and her {{p|Wailord}} comes to his aide.
* In the manga, Articuno was captured by [[Team Rocket]] and was merged with Zapdos and Moltres to form [[Zapmolcuno]] in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]''. It was later able to split apart from the other two, and regain its freedom. It later appeared during the final battle against the [[Masked Man]] under the ownership of {{adv|Green}}, who then lent it to {{adv|Red}} to use against an enraged {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* He is the second out of four Electric-type gym leaders, and appears to be the oldest.
* In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Trading Card Game]], Articuno has been featured on {{TCG|Articuno|14 different cards}} and is typically of the {{tcg|Water}} type.
