Snowpoint City: Difference between revisions

Although Snowpoint City is not home to much, a noticeable landmark in the area is [[Snowpoint Temple]], which can only be accessed after the Sinnoh [[Elite Four]] have been beaten and the [[National Pokédex]] has been obtained. The temple contains five floors, with odd bits of slippery ice. At the very bottom of the temple lies a dormant Regigigas. To awaken this legendary Pokémon, the player must bring all three of the [[legendary golems]] along with them, which are all only available normally in the [[Generation III]] games. Through an event Regigigas, the legendary golems can also be obtained in {{v2|Platinum}} and will activate the in-game Regigigas.

Just as Ash finishes his battle with Candice, his rival [[Paul]] arrives and also plans to challenge Candice for the Icicle Badge. Before he does, the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III|Battle Pyramid}} flies into Snowpoint City, and Paul battles [[Pyramid King Brandon]] in preparation for the Gym battle. However, Paul is easily overcome by [[Brandon's legendary golems]].

[[DP129|After this battle]], it is discovered that [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] has broken into [[Snowpoint Temple]] in an attempt to steal the {{p|Regigigas}} that lives there. According to legend, long ago, there had been a violent volcanic eruption that had turned the once-beautiful Snowpoint Forest into a sea of lava. Out of a bright blue light, {{p|Regigigas}} had appeared with the [[legendary golems]] and the four had stopped the volcanic eruption, saving Snowpoint City. Afterwards, Regigigas had gone into a deep sleep in the Snowpoint Temple, protected by {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}, who had transformed into guardian pillars. In the episode, J is defeated but the temple is nearly destroyed in the battle. Brandon leaves his three golems behind as protectors and promises to rebuild the temple.
