===Cinnabar Mansion journal log: TPCi Dub=== | |||
* In 2005, [[Pokémon anime]] dub was taken over by [[The Pokémon Company International]] after legal disputes with [[4Kids Entertainment]]. | |||
* Returning actors included names like [[Carter Cathcart]], and [[Kayzie Rogers]]. Newly hired actors were [[Sarah Natochenny]], [[Bill Rogers]], and [[Michele Knotz]], among many others. | |||
* At first the job was handed off to [[TAJ Productions]], which took control of the dubbing until 2008 when TAJ made an official statement that they would not continue dubbing the Pokémon anime. | |||
* [[DuArt Film & Video|DuArt]] was then given the responsibility of dubbing the cartoon show, transferring all of the actors from TAJ. | |||
* [[BW063]] marks the 300th episode that has been dubbed under TPCi's actors, which airs in the United States today, May 26, 2012. | |||

==Sunday May 27, 2012: Sturdy== | |||
[[File:Ash Boldore Sturdy.png|right|180px]] | |||
===Know Your Ability: Sturdy=== | |||
* '''Sturdy''' (Japanese: '''がんじょう''' ''Sturdy'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Thirty-two Pokémon have this Ability. | |||
* Sturdy works exactly like a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, meaning, that the Pokémon will survive a move that that would have defeated it in one turn leaving it with 1 HP. | |||
* Sturdy was first used in the anime by {{an|Cilan}}'s {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble|Crustle}} in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]''. {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Boldore}} also has Sturdy as its ability which it first used as a {{p|Roggenrola}} in ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]''. | |||
* In [[Generation V]], if Sturdy were obtained on {{p|Shedinja}} through using a move like {{m|Worry Seed}} on Shedinja to allow Sturdy to be {{m|Skill Swap}}ped, it would be able to activate for every attack. | |||
* {{p|Sawk}} is the only Pokémon to have Sturdy as its ability and not being {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ground}} or {{type|Steel}} or being related to one by evolution. | |||
* {{p|Relicanth}} and {{p|Regirock}} are the only Pokémon to have Sturdy as its Hidden Ability. | |||

==Monday May 28, 2012: Tao trio== | |||
[[File:Tao trio anime.png|right|200px]] | |||
===According to Legends...: Tao trio=== | |||
* The '''Tao trio''', sometimes called the '''energy trio''', is the collective term used to refer to the three powerful [[legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] Region: {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}. According to Unova myths, the [[legendary trio]] was created during the war plaguing the region. | |||
* Much like members of other legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their primary type. Both Reshiram and Zekrom have a base stat total of 680 while Kyurem's is 660. Reshiram represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yang}} and controls {{t|Fire}}, Zekrom represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yin}} and controls {{t|Electric|Thunder}}, and Kyurem represents the concept of {{wp|wuji (philosophy)|wuji}} (the absence of yin and yang) and controls {{t|Ice}}. | |||
* The mythologies of the trio are implied to be connected, despite having no true relation. 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. | |||
* Kyurem's origins are much different than those of the other two. The third dragon came down to the Pokémon world from an icy meteor and crashed into a place called Giant Chasm. | |||
* Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem are occasionally known as the "Blazing White Yang", "Electrifying Black Yin", and "Frozen Boundary", respectively. This is a reference to the concept of Yin and Yang of Taoism. | |||

==Tuesday May 29, 2012: starter Pokémon== | |||
[[File:DP anime all first partners.png|right|200px]] | |||
===The First Decision: The Starter Pokémon=== | |||
* The '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: はじめてのポケモン Beginning Pokémon or さいしょのポケモン first Pokémon) is the first Pokémon a new {{pkmn|Trainer}} receives at the beginning of his or her journey. | |||
* Starter Pokémon are typically provided by the region {{pkmn|Professor|professors}}, such as [[Professor Oak]] and [[Professor Birch]]. | |||
* Trainers can typically select from three Pokémon. As of Generation V, the main starters have all consisted of {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}} and {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. | |||
* {{game|Yellow}} has players start off with a {{p|Pikachu}}, designed to emulate {{Ash}} getting {{AP|Pikachu}} as his starter. | |||
* In the anime, Starter Pokémon are hatched and cared for in secret breeding grounds prior to being given to Trainers. | |||
* [[Junichi Masuda]] mentioned in an interview in 2009 that when formulating new Pokémon for a region, the starter Pokémon get the most work put into. | |||

===Gotta Catch 'em All!: Mightyena=== | |||
* '''Mightyena''' (Japanese: '''グラエナ''' ''Guraena'') is a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon. It evolves from {{p|Poochyena}} starting at level 18. It is [[Species|classified]] as the Bite Pokémon. | |||
* Mightyena is #262 in the National Pokédex and #011 in the Hoenn Pokédex. It can have the abilities {{a|Intimidate}} or {{a|Quick Feet}} and has {{a|Moxie}} as its Hidden Ability. | |||
* Mightyena made its debut appearance in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''. Mightyena has also been used by {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s, first appearing in ''[[AG027|A Tree Team Scheme!]]'' | |||
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{adv|Ruby}}'s Poochyena, Nana, evolved into Mightyena in [[Dewford Town]]. With its increased strength and power, it proved to become a force to be reckoned with, able to defend the boy against his powerful father Norman, and outdo {{adv|Sapphire}}'s [[Rono]] when it was attacked by surprise. | |||
* {{TCG|Mightyena}} has been featured on {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Mightyena (TCG)}} - 1}} different cards since it debuted in the {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire}} expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Mightyena cards are normally {{ct|Darkness}} {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}}. | |||

[[File:BrockGolemGymHeroes20.jpg|right|200px]] | |||
===Pick a Card, Any Card: Brock's Golem=== | |||
* '''Brock's Golem''' (Japanese: '''タケシのゴローニャ''' ''Takeshi's Golonya'') is a {{ct|Fighting}} Stage 2 Pokémon card. It is part of the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} expansion. | |||
* Brock's Golem has 90 HP, a {{e|Grass}} weakness and a Retreat Cost of 4. | |||
* It has the attack {{m|Rock Slide}} which does 10 damage to 3 of the opponents Benched Pokémon (if they have any). Rock Slide is also a move Golem can learn in the [[Pokémon games]]. | |||
* It also has {{m|Fissure}} as an attack which does 50 damage. Fissure itself was a move that Golem could learn in the Pokémon games in [[Generation I]] through [[TM27]]. However, the attack's Japanese name ('''ランドクラッシュ''' ''Land Crash'') is different, making these two moves unrelated. | |||
* In Japan, this card was also included in the {{TCG|Nivi City Gym}} theme deck. | |||
* This card features art by [[Ken Sugimori]]. | |||
