 ==In the Anime==
-Levels are famously ignored completely in the anime. Various references have been to "power levels" but this seems to be more of a general term, rather than the levels used in the games. A classic example of this is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After appearing in more than 500 episodes in a row, Pikachu would logically be level 100, however, Pikachu is still often beaten by other Pokémon. One effect of this is that Pokémon in the anime learn moves that would normally be hard to get. For example, in its debut episode, [[Dawn's Piplup]] used [[Bide]], a move Piplup normally doesn't learn until level 18, when all [[starter Pokémon]] are obtained at level 5. Therefore, level up moves can generally be learned at any time in the anime.
+Students at the Academy featured in [[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]] have referred to levels, one of them quoting the levels at which [[Pidgey]] and the rest of its family [[evolve]] and learn certain [[move]]s.

 However, in the two [[Mystery Dungeon]] specials, levels are mentioned, but not explained. This may mean that Pokémon themselves understand the concept of levels in the anime but humans do not.
