Pokémon Island Volcano: Difference between revisions

The Volcano (Japanese: かざん Volcano) is one of the six major areas of Pokémon Island, and like its name suggests, it is a very live and active volcano. Unlike most of the island, this area has no man made structures or objects present. In fact, it seems to have had little to no human contact whatsoever. This is likely due to the harsh terrain and dangerous environment; which, while comfortable for Fire-type Pokémon, is hazardous and near inhospitable to human life.

Ten Pokémon species can be found in the area; however, there seems to be little food or water to support them in this harsh environment. The only source of water is a small, murky pound, which contain Magikarp but is likely very acidic. No visible vegetation can be found within the crater, and the heat and rocky surface would make it difficult for anything to grow. The Magmar in the area are very territorial and aggressive; most of them can be witnessed infighting and competing with other Pokémon over even the tiniest of morsels. In contrast to this, the local Charmander population seems to be a very close knit group. If one finds even a little food, it will not hesitate to call to its brethren and share it with them.

Towards the beginning of the coarse is a volcanic splatter cone surrounded by a lava pit. If a Pester Ball is thrown into it's crater, it will emit an especially thick cloud of purple smoke which takes on the form of a Koffing. This is one of the six Pokémon Signs.

Native Pokémon

Pokémon		Description		Pokémon		Description
	Rapidash	Several Rapidash gallop by early in the course. More can be seen in that area, though they do not run.			Vulpix	Just beyond the Rapidash is a Vulpix, playing. Pokémon food delights the fire fox. Afterwards, two more Vulpix can be found.
	Charmander	A common Pokémon in the volcanic area. One is near the beginning with a Magmar. When stopped by the giant Egg, two more can be seen. Tossing Pokémon food to them will cause them to each call two more which makes a pack of six. Playing the Poké Flute for them will make all six march in place. When they run out of food and the Poké Flute isn't playing, they begin to growl and cry.			Magmar	Early on, a Magmar will attack a nearby Charmander if disturbed which may cause the latter to evolve. Later on, two Magmar can be seen battling one another if they are lured together. Taking a picture of this battle is worth big bonus points.
	Charmeleon	If the Charmander near the Magmar is attacked by Magmar's fiery attack, it will evolve into Charmeleon. Another Charmeleon is near the end of the course, running around a pool of lava. It can be knocked into the lava when hit by an apple or Pester Ball to evolve it.			Moltres	When the enormous egg blocking the ZERO-ONE's path is knocked into the lava below, it hatches into the magnificent legendary fire bird. Watching where it flies and pointing the camera straight up will help Todd Snap catch a good shot of this Pokémon spreading its wings and scattering embers about.
	Growlithe	Near the end of the area, these hide within craters. Tossing Pester Balls into the craters will cause them to hop out. Professor Oak will be impressed by a shot of this Pokémon shaking off its embers or by shooting three in one photo.			Arcanine	Sometimes a disturbed Arcanine hops from the craters near the end of the stage, after tossing Pester Balls into them. Professor Oak will be impressed by a shot of this Pokémon shaking off its embers or by shooting three in one photo.
	Charizard	Near the end of the course, there is a crater of magma, with a Charmeleon pacing around it. Knocking Charmeleon into the crater will cause it to evolve into Charizard, which, if hit with an item, will use Flamethrower.			Magikarp	As in other areas, throwing an item into a pool of water will cause a Magikarp to leap out. Only one pool of water exists in the Volcano, near the end, opposite the magma crater that Charmeleon is circling.

Special Pictures

Fighting Magmar

Two Magmar immediately after the Moltres egg will knock each other out if lured together with food. Taking a picture will get many points.
