==A Note==
First of all, I removed the information of a short list of Pokemon that have the same cries to help summarize on how the system actually works. Second of all, I removed the Crobat cry thing, because that's pure speculation. Based on how the game works, Missingno. was improperly assigned Zubat's cry with a different pitch, just like the other Missingno's with Zapdos's cry but with a different pitch.

:Hmm... So which are the different cries, and what Pokémon have each? Or is it as easy as dividing evo family? <span style="background:#FF9030">'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#000000">chidna</span>]]</span>{{ani|155|Fire echy}}<span style="background:#664444">[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|<sup><span style="color:#FFD700">G</span></sup><sub><span style="color:#E0E0E0">S</span></sub><span style="color:#000000">DS!</span>]]'''</span> 06:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
:I added the Crobat thing myself, but I didn't add the part about "considering an evolution of Golbat". I personally believe it was only just a coincidence. It's supposed to be trivia, after all. But yeah, keep speculation out. [[User:System Error|System Error]] 09:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

== Similar Cries ==

I know this sounds crazy, but I used the Cry Feature on the Pokédex in Diamond and Pearl and although they '''sound''' similar, no two cries are the same.  They have different sound waves and the meters that show volume don't have the same pattern, but if this isn't worth putting in/taking out of the article, Machop and Omanyte might be worth mentioning.  I have also noticed that maybe Chansey's cry and Pidgeot's cry are branches of the same cry.  If you want more justification for Charizard's and Rhyhorn's cries being different, there is more background noise in Charizard's cry than Rhyhorn's.  [[User:Superbreeder|Super]][[User talk:Superbreeder|breeder]] 02:22, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:Actually, I've compared the cries using a Wave-editor and Charizard's and Rhyhorn's are the EXACT same. No other Cries are the same, but they're really similar. Some Cries also may be similar like Machop's and Omanyte's but their pitch is slightly different, so it's not considered the same. Also I kept that Poliwag's and Ditto's are the same, 'cause they're really similar, althought Ditto's like 0.01 second longer.

Uh, I'm pretty sure Mewtwo's and Parasect's cries were also the same. I've listened to them back-to-back and i could not notice any differences at all. {{unsigned|Morgil27}}

== Pikachu's Cry ==
Will someone who knows the actual method it was done with (actual v/a recording? i think it is) make a note about Pikachu's cry in Pokémon Yellow? [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 17:00, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
:Jun'ichi Masuda actually talks about that in this blog entry: http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 If someone who knows more about programming wants to take a stab at clarifying/summarizing the information in the entry, have at it.

== About The cries ==

It is ok if we start using Pokémon cries in every Pokémon page? I mean like the Pokémon footprints, but upload them in *.ogg format. I can do it personally, because I extract the cries from their original games (Gen I Pokémon from Red, Blue and Yellow, and so on) because in Gen III or IV games they lose quality.

== Pikachu´s words? ==

''"... Ash (Pikapi), Misty (PiKachupi), Brock (PikaChu), Togepi (Pipipi), Team Rocket (Pipikachu), and "My name is Pikachu" (Pika, Pikachu)."'' 
Is that true? If it is, where did that info come from? (also, sorry for my bad english) [[User:Pkqls|Pkqls]] 05:46, 10 May 2009 (UTC)Pkqls
:Times in the anime where it is obvious what Pikachu would be saying, such as when the group is introducing themselves to a new character or searching for someone. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 05:52, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

== Individual Cries ==
Responding to a request on Bulbasaur's talk page, I'm trying to compile a list of the individual Generation 1 cries. On a quick runthrough I'm down to 74 (double the actual number), but there'll be some obvious ones when I try in a less systematic way another day. When I get this down to 60, will anyone be interested in helping me out for the last few? I can easily crowbar in Generation 2 afterwards.

== Generation I cry alterations at low HP ==

I know many of us are aware that in Generation I, when a Pokémon is sent into battle with less than 20% of its maximum HP, it will cry in an extremely distorted way (e.g., an Alakazam sent out at low HP sounds like Gastly). Should this be written into the article? [[User:Ultraflame|Ultraflame]] 04:45, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
:Hmmm, Not sure about this, I'll just double check with blue...--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#DAA520">'''F'''</span>]][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#DAA520">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#C0C0C0">'''F'''</span>]][[Lugia (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C0C0C0">ire</span>]] 07:06, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
:I'm guessing the cause of the distortion is due to the annoying low-HP alarm and the Pokémon's cry being played at the same time, which screws up the instructions for altering the cry to make it sound correctly. [[User:Ultraflame|Ultraflame]] 04:17, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

== Sound files ==

We should have sound files so that people know what each pokemon's cry sounds like.--[[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] 16:24, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
:We do. They're just not set on the pages yet. And they won't be until we can figure out some backend stuff. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

==Three Pairs==
The article states that "tree pairs of Generation I Pokémon share the same cry", yet only two pairs are listed. Should it read as "two pairs" or was one pair removed by mistake? [[User:Puceron|Puceron]] 06:22, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

== Poked into a Gold Version ROM... ==

I viewed the cries that exist in Gold Version with a cry-editing tool, and what I found were:
* There appear to be '''38''' (not 37) different cries that appear to have been introduced in Generation I. But since I'm looking at a Generation II game, maybe that was changed between generations.

== Cry/Japanese names ==

Can someone double check if they meant to be saying their Japanese names (the text that appears when you talk to a Pokemon, not the actual cry)? For example, in Colosseum, if you talk to the Taillow in Agate village, it says something like ''subame'' (its Japanese name). And if you talk to the Marill in Phenac city, it says ''rurii'' (as in Mariru).  This doesn't apply to all Pokemon, and may or may not apply only to Colosseum. <small><span style="color:white; background-color:blue">'''X'''</span>[[User:Vuvuzela2010|<span style="color:blue; background-color:white">'''Vuvuzela2010''']]</span><span style="color:white; background-color:blue">'''X'''</span></small> 00:36, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
:Talking to Pokémon in the main series games can yield variations on their Japanese names (Clefairy usually say "Pipipi," and there's a Kangaskhan somewhere that says "Garu"), their English names (I know there are some examples, but I can't think of any right now), or random noise (Farfetch'd — at least the charcoal maker's in HGSS — say "Kwaa!," and Ho-Oh in HeartGold says "Shaoooh!").  There doesn't really seem to be any reliable pattern.  —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 01:14, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
