===The {{wp|Daytona 500}} is all about Speed!=== | |||
* The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a move before ones with lower speed under normal conditions. | |||
* Moves with an increased [[priority]] will go first in battle, regardless of a Pokémon's speed stat. | |||
* {{p|Deoxys}} in its Speed Forme currently holds the honor of having the highest Speed among all Pokémon with 180. {{p|Ninjask}} currently has the highest Speed of all non-legendary Pokémon with 160. | |||
* {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Munchlax}} are tied as the slowest Pokémon, each with a base speed of only 5. | |||
* There are 11 moves that can increase a Pokémon's speed in battle, and nine abilities. However, there are 14 moves, and two abilities that can lower it. | |||
** Notably, {{a|Speed Boost}} increases a Pokémon's speed one stage every turn. | |||
** Conversely, {{a|Slow Start}} halves a Pokémon's speed for five turns and {{a|Stall}} forces Pokémon to go last regardless of speed. | |||
* [[Vitamin#Carbos|Carbos]] or [[Wing#Swift_Wing|Swift Wing]] can be used to permanently raise a Pokémon's speed stat. | |||
* Speed is also a [[performance]] stat used for the [[Pokéathlon]]. | |||

===Anniversary edition: Welcome to the World of Pokémon=== | |||
* On February 27, 1996, [[Game Freak]] revealed their newest games, {{v2|Red and Green|s}}. | |||
* The project took six years to make, and nearly drove the company into bankruptcy. Five employees left the company due to the lack of funding, and [[Satoshi Tajiri]] worked most nights unpaid. | |||
* Before [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] pitched in to help, the series was originally called [[Capsule Monsters]]. | |||
* The games exploded in Japan's market, and later spawned a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Trading Card Game]], and various [[Pokémon manga|manga series]] until later getting its very own [[Pokémon anime|cartoon series]]. | |||
* The series has since expanded to five generations of games, 15 seasons of the anime, hundreds of volumes of manga, and thousands of trading cards all across the world. | |||
* In celebration of the anniversary, all [[Generation I]] Pokémon species articles will feature their artwork from Red and Green Versions. | |||

* I'm mostly pink, with some white and red around. | |||
* I'm not as kind-hearted as you'd think I am. | |||
* I'm an ''old hag''. | |||

[[File:Stadium.jpg|200px|right]] | |||
===Pokémon battle: Pokémon Stadium=== | |||
* '''Pokémon Stadium''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスタジアム２''' ''Pokémon Stadium 2'') is a Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo 64]]. | |||
* On this day in 2000, this game was released in North America. | |||
* This game is the first Pokémon Stadium game released outside of Japan; in Japan, this game was a sequel to {{jap|Pokémon Stadium|a game whose name matched this game's English name}}. | |||
* By registering all 151 Pokémon in the [[Hall of Fame]], the player can obtain a {{p|Psyduck}} with {{m|Amnesia}}. | |||
* In non-Japanese versions only, the player can obtain a {{DL|Pikachu variants|Surfing Pikachu}} by completing the Master Ball division of the Round 2 [[Prime Cup]] using only Pokémon selected directly from the Game Pak, not saving the game during the challenge, and using a Pikachu in the final battle. | |||
* This game fixes many glitches related to moves in the handheld Generation I games. | |||
* Using the [[GB Tower]] option, main series Pokémon [[Game Boy]] games can be played on the TV screen. | |||
* The game has three major modes: Free battle, [[Stadium Mode]], and [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Completing the latter two unlocks a battle with {{p|Mewtwo}}. Defeating this Mewtwo then unlocks "Round 2", where the player can complete the entire game again against the same opponents with different [[party|parties]]. | |||
