In the Pokémon anime, Ash Ketchum and his friends once found a Charmander on a rock, waiting for its owner. Because a Charmander will die if the flame on its tail goes out, they feared for its life during a rainstorm. Ash and his friends rescued it and took it to the local Pokémon Center, but it returned to the very same rock once it had recovered. It turned out that its Trainer had abandoned it and deceived the Charmander by convincing it he would come back for it. After the Charmander discovered this, it rejected its previous Trainer for Ash. Ash's Charmander later evolv ...

For some time, Ash Ketchum had a Squirtle on his team. Abandoned by another trainer, it joined up with four other Squirtles to form a criminal gang called the Squirtle Squad (Zenigame-gundan), breaking with the "cute" image many people had of this Pokémon. However, the Squirtle Squad were mostly harmless, carrying out pranks rather than actually harming people. When the Squirtle Squad wound up saving a nearby town from a forest fire (after a vain attempt from Meowth to make them turn to evil by claiming that Team Rocket and Ash were his "pe ...

Staryu is an enigmatic Pokémon that can effortlessly regenerate any appendage it loses in battle. As long as the centre is unharmed, it can grow back fully, even if it has been chopped to bits. Staryu appear in large numbers by Horsea. At night, the centre of its body slowly flickers with the same rhythm as a human heartbeat. When the starts twinkle, it floats up from the sea floor and its body's centre core also flickers. If you go to a beach towards the end of summer, the glowing cores look jus ...

The Pokémon games are divided up by which platform they were released on. There have been three generations so far: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance. The tradition has been to release two versions at the beginning of the era, with a third, enhanced remake released a couple of years afterwards. Because of the game itself, the eras have been nicknamed like so: Game Boy: Monochrome (because the Game Boy is black-and-white) Game Boy Color: Metal (the game titles, excluding "crystal", were metals) Game Boy Advance: A ...

Loudred builds power by stamping the ground, so it shouts while stamping its feet. After Loudred finishes shouting, it becomes incapable of hearing anything for a while. This is considered to be a weak point. Yet, Loudred's bellowing can completely decimate a wood-frame house. And it only needs to use its voice to punish its foes. Its round ears serve as loundspeakers, and they are positioned to assail foes with ...

Mankey are light and agile. They live in groups in the treetops. If one loses sight of its group, then it becomes infuriated with loneliness. Mankey is extremely quick to anger. It could be docile one moment, then thrashing away the next. It will not hesitate to attack anything, and they often attack handy targets in groups for no reason. If it does get violently enraged, it is unsafe to approach as it can't distinguish between friends and foes.

Misty wants to be a world-class Water-type Pokémon trainer despite her sisters ridicule, and her Pokémon reflect this aspiration. She meets Ash after he borrows/steals her bicycle and chars it, a plot point that is reiterated throughout the series. She uses it as an excuse to become his friend. She and Ash have a slight rivalry as well, as they always argue with each other. Their arguments hardly are reasonable and are pointless to try to stop. One use of potential humor, especially in the Shūkan Pokémon Hōsōkyoku, is thr ...

Pikachu - Ash Ketchum's Pikachu. In the Pokémon anime, Pikachu was Ash Ketchum's first Pokémon. In the first episode of the Pokémon anime, Pikachu didn't like Ash and shocked him with electricity every time Ash came near. However, by the second episode, Ash demonstrated his willingness to sacrifice himself for Pikachu, and they became fast friends. In another first season episode (in Vermillion City), Pikachu, who is often rather independently minded, believed that it was strong enough without evolv ...

As a Pokémon trainer, Ash carries six Pokémon with him that forms his team's active roster. However, due to the anime being not strictly conforming to the video games, there are Pokémon that are on Ash's team that have not been formally caught by Ash. This often allowed Ash to be accompanied by more than six Pokémon, especially since Pikachu, the only permanent member of his active roster, never stays in a Poké Ball. An even looser definition of Ash's team allows for Pokémon that are caught by other regular characters. However, only the first is discussed here.

The PokéFlute, first introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue, was initially a Key Item used to wake a sleeping Snorlax that was blocking forward progress. PokéFlutes appeared in later games, however; in Pokémon Snap, a PokéFlute could lure Pokémon out of hiding and sometimes would make them dance or behave oddly, and in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, a glassblower near Lavaridge Town makes five different colors of volcanic glass PokéFlute, three of which cures status ailmen ...

Pokémon, being a popular franchise, has undoubtedly left its mark on pop-culture. The Pokémon characters themselves have become pop-culture icons; examples include the Pikachu balloon at a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, thousands of merchandise items, and in 2005, a theme park in Nagoya, Japan.

When the Pokémon video game was first released in Japan in 1995, it was named Pocket Monsters. It would have carried over to North America, but another company had trademarked the name "Monster In My Pocket," making it impossible ot use Pocket Monsters. Since many Japanese players had already shortened the game name to Pokémon, Nintendo renamed the game Pokémon for the North American release. The initial games introduced the concept of becoming a Pokémon Trainer and catching all 150 of the ...

Pokémon - Zbtb7. Main article: Zbtb7 A mammalian oncogene, now officially known as Zbtb7, was named "Pokemon" [6] (no acute accent on the e) by its discoverers. This name is apparently an acronym for "POK Erythroid Myeloid ONtogenic" factor, so the name could be either a backronym or simply coincidence. The gene is suspected to play a major role in cancer, and the name was changed to "Zbtb7" due to the threat of a lawsuit. However, it is still often m ...
