"'''Breaking the {{wp|fourth wall}}'''" refers to a point at which a character acknowledges that they are fictional.

In the [[Pokémon|Pokémon franchise]], several characters appear to break the "fourth wall" in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and in the {{pkmn|games}}. | ||
There are several ways of breaking the fourth wall; examples include when characters refer to a particular episode or season, when characters stop others from performing an occult or criminal act by referring to the fact that it is a "children's show", when characters respond to a real world person who is not physically present (such as the [[narrator]]), when characters talk to the viewer or player directly rather than to their in-game avatar, or when characters crash into the screen and either slide down from it or cause it to crack from impact. | There are several ways of breaking the fourth wall; examples include when characters refer to a particular episode or season, when characters stop others from performing an occult or criminal act by referring to the fact that it is a "children's show", when characters respond to a real world person who is not physically present (such as the [[narrator]]), when characters talk to the viewer or player directly rather than to their in-game avatar, or when characters crash into the screen and either slide down from it or cause it to crack from impact. | ||
==In the core series games== | |||
* [[Trainer Tips]] signs and message boards provide advice to the player in using the game's control scheme. Similar instructions are also given by NPCs, such as the player's [[mother]], the regional [[Pokémon Professor]], and NPCs telling the player that they are [[Save|saving]]. | |||
* In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is a sign on {{Rt|17|Kanto}} that says "Don't throw the game, throw [[Poké Ball]]s instead!". | |||
* An in-game appearance of [[Game Freak]] is a recurring feature in the series, with offices in [[Celadon City]], [[Castelia City]], and [[Heahea City]]. The employees will often announce their roles in the development of the game when the {{player}} speaks to them: | |||
** "I'm the game designer!" | |||
** "I wrote the story!" | |||
** "I'm the graphic artist! I drew you!" or "I'm the graphic designer! I'm a skilled dot artist!" | |||
** "Me? I'm the programmer!" | |||
** In addition, examining the computers gives the message "It's the game program! [[Cheating|Messing with it]] could [[glitch|bug out]] the game!" | |||
* In the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], a staff member receives an email stating Game Freak's desire of linking at worldwide level without link cable barriers. | |||
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and their {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|remakes}}, a {{tc|Black Belt}} on {{rt|215|Sinnoh}} mentions real life before giving away {{TM|66|Payback}}. | |||
* In {{g|X and Y}}, {{tc|Hex Maniac}} Osanna, found on {{rt|16|Kalos}}, says: "You’re definitely the leader type! Like the protagonist of a game or something!" | |||
==In the spin-off games== | |||
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]=== | |||
* Upon reaching his maximum level, {{mas|James}} will say, "Nothing can stop us now! Not even the writers!" | |||
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]=== | |||
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], both {{OBP|Sunflora|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} and {{OBP|Bidoof|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} break the fourth wall at 4th entry of their diaries, mentioning the Y and A buttons, respectively. | |||
* During the post-game of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], {{OBP|Hydreigon|Gates to Infinity}} senses something and leans towards the screen, indicating he's sensing the player's presence. This is confirmed later at the [[Worldcore|Hill of Universal Order]], where Hydreigon and player's partner turn to look at the screen, realizing that the player has been watching them the whole time. | |||
===Pokémon Ranger series=== | |||
* At the beginning of the first {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}} game, when explaining the control style of the game, an NPC says that he uses the stylus instead of the D-pad because he is from the "touch generation". This is a reference to [[Nintendo]]'s {{wp|Touch! Generations}} line of games for casual gamers, which were brand new at the time of Pokémon Ranger's release. | |||
* During the ending of the first official mission in the first Pokémon Ranger game, [[Professor Hastings]] knows the game options exist by saying, "By options, I don't mean fooling with some text settings, I mean consider what we might do!" | |||
* In the mission that introduces [[Sven]] in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] there are many [[Team Dim Sun]] goons taking Dark Shards from [[Chroma Ruins]]. Sven explains that to make them leave the place, a {{p|Skuntank|Pokémon that produces a horrible stench}} is needed. Then, he turns to the screen and says "you know what I mean?" | |||
** Also, after capturing the hypnotized Pokémon of a couple of Dim Sun Admins in [[Almia Castle]], said Admins make a comment about how they were not given names, not even "Admin A" or "Admin B". | |||
* At the end of the {{p|Heatran}} Mission in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], the [[Capture Styler]] breaks the fourth wall, telling the player themselves to wait a moment during [[Nema]]'s explanation of how Heatran learned {{m|Eruption}}. | |||
===[[Pokémon Rumble series]]=== | |||
* In [[Pokémon Rumble World]], if the [[Toy Pokémon]] in use does not have a second move, pressing B will cause it to look up at the screen for a couple of seconds. | |||
** In the castle courtyard, pressing A will cause it to look out at the screen as before, while pressing B will cause it to jump up and down. | |||
===Pokémon Play It! series=== | |||
In both [[Pokémon Play It!]] and [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], {{OBP|Julie|Play It!}} often talks directly to the player and explains various aspects of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. | |||
