When a Pokémon is released from its [[Poké Ball]], it will call out its cry, which consists of an electronically made "noise." It will also cry out when using certain moves, such as {{m|Growl}}, {{m|Roar}}, and {{m|Hyper Voice}}. | When a Pokémon is released from its [[Poké Ball]], it will call out its cry, which consists of an electronically made "noise." It will also cry out when using certain moves, such as {{m|Growl}}, {{m|Roar}}, and {{m|Hyper Voice}}. Starting in [[Generation III]], when a Pokémon faints, or if it has critical {{stat|HP}} or a [[status condition]] when entering a {{pkmn|battle}} or checked in the [[stats#gallery|status screen]], its cry will be lower-pitched. | ||

When Pokémon undergo [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], their cry is altered, sometimes dramatically. Many [[alternate form]]s, such as those of {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, and the [[Forces of Nature]], also have different cries. | ||
Despite there being 151 Pokémon in Generation I, there are only 37 completely different cries in the Generation I games. However, similar cries are distinguished by differences in pitch, speed, echo, or disabling one of the sound channels. For example, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}'s base cries are the same, but Charmeleon's is lower-pitched | Despite there being 151 Pokémon in Generation I, there are only 37 completely different cries in the Generation I games. However, similar cries are distinguished by differences in pitch, speed, echo, or disabling one of the sound channels. For example, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}'s base cries are the same, but Charmeleon's is lower-pitched. Another example is that Metapod and Abra have the same base cry, but Metapod's only plays one sound channel. In [[Generation II]], there were 30 new base cries introduced, applying the same techniques as before. The only Generation II cries based on older ones belong to {{p|Crobat}} and {{p|Umbreon}}, both of which evolve from Generation I Pokémon. | ||

Possibly due to improved technology, very few Pokémon introduced since [[Generation III]] have had similar cries, and those that do are usually related by [[evolution]] or association as they were in Generation I. As the generations pass, the calls of new Pokémon sound more refined and realistic, while the cries of Pokémon released in previous generations sound comparatively more like the electronic beeps they are. For unspecified reasons, the cries of Generation III games are actually played at 0.9× the speed of the original samples. Cries introduced since [[Generation IV]] are mostly recognizable, digitized sounds, such as birds chirping for {{p|Starly}} or a xylophone for {{p|Kricketot}}.

In the | In the {{g|Stadium series}}, many original cries were remade through the [[Nintendo 64]]'s technology. Although most of them resemble the Game Boy versions closely, some Pokémon were given special cries that closely resemble actual animals, or are a combination of the two. This was not carried over into later console games, which use the same cries as the handheld games. | ||
In {{5v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, cries of the Pokémon found in the player's current location can occasionally be heard while walking in the overworld. In {{game|Emerald}}, these cries are heard more often if the first Pokémon in the player's [[party]] has the [[Ability]] {{a|Swarm}}. | In {{5v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, cries of the Pokémon found in the player's current location can occasionally be heard while walking in the overworld.
