| ===Footwear===
| |
| Introduced in [[Generation III]], the [[Running Shoes]] are a pair of shoes that allow the {{player}} to run by holding down the B button in conjunction with the directional pad. Running is not allowed in most buildings, however, until [[Generation IV]]. Running speed is affected by terrain, such as marshes and snow. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Running Shoes can be triggered on and off by using the touch screen.
| |
|
| |
|
| [[Roller Skates]] are a [[Key Item]] in {{g|X and Y}} that allow the {{player}} to move around faster than they would by running, but slower than they would on a [[Bicycle]]. The player can perform certain tricks while using the Roller Skates. They are also worn by {{tc|Roller Skater}}s. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{an|Korrina}} often wears Roller Skates.
| |
|
| |
| ===Bikes===
| |
| {{main|Bicycle}}
| |
| [[File:DP Bicycle.png|thumb|220px|{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} on bikes in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'']] | | [[File:DP Bicycle.png|thumb|220px|{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} on bikes in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'']] |
| In all [[core series]] games except [[Generation]]s {{gen|VII}} and {{gen|IX}}, the {{player}} is able to acquire a [[bicycle]]. They often have a price that is beyond the player's capacity to pay for, but during the course of the game the player will be given one as a gift from an NPC. Bicycles allow the player to travel faster than they can walking, running, or skating. Usually, the bicycle cannot be used in most, if any, buildings. In [[Hoenn]], common choices are the [[Acro Bike|Acro]] and [[Mach Bike]]s, while in [[Galar]], many Trainers have their [[Rotom Phone]] power their bike, turning it into the [[Rotom Bike]]. | | In the games, there are many means of land-based transport that the player can use. For simple personal navigation, [[Running Shoes]] and [[Bicycle]]s have long been a staple, and [[Roller Skates]] made an appearance in {{g|X and Y}}. |
| | |
| Bikes are used at various times in the {{pkmn|anime}}, most notably when {{Ash}} borrows {{an|Misty}}'s bike, but crashes, thus ruining it. This bike is alluded to frequently throughout the first few seasons as a reason why Misty is angry at Ash. All of the main female characters, up until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', owned bikes, which were eventually destroyed.
| |
| | |
| ===Motor vehicles===
| |
| [[File:GAMEFREAK New Years Card 2017.png|thumb|left|220px|[[Professor Kukui]] and [[Lillie]] in a car]]
| |
| In the {{pkmn|games}}, {{wp|automobile|cars}} can be seen in many places, both while parked and being driven. Cars are also often used for transportation in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
| |
| | |
| In {{g|X and Y}}, [[Lumi Cab]] is a taxi service that lets the player travel between many stops around [[Lumiose City]] for a fee; destinations that are farther away cost more. If the player has enough {{DL|Lumiose City|style}}, the fare will be half price. If the player does not have enough money to pay for the ride, the {{tc|driver}} will challenge them to a battle.
| |
| | |
| {{wp|Recreational vehicle}}s have featured a few times in the games and anime, and a trailer house appeared in [[Pokémon Adventures]].
| |
| | |
| A truck is used by the player's family to move from [[Johto]] to [[Hoenn]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}. The player starts the game [[Inside of Truck|inside of the truck]]. Numerous concept art drawings featured trucks in the announcement trailer for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, most of which appeared in-game. These included pick-up trucks, firetrucks, and ambulances. In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, a truck is located in a normally inaccessible part of the {{DL|S.S. Anne|Rumors|S.S. Anne}}. There were rumors that one could get a {{p|Mew}} or a rare item by using {{m|Strength}} on it. However, these proved to be false. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]] is used to look for an item near the truck, a [[Lava Cookie]] can be found instead, possibly referencing the rumors. Trucks have also been used several times in the anime.
| |
| | |
| Buses are featured in some of the [[core series]] games, {{g|Channel}}, and in the anime. In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, many people take the Exeggutor Express to climb up [[Mount Hokulani]]. Tanks have made a couple appearances in the anime.
| |
|
| |
|
| A few Trainer classes use motorbikes. [[Wes]] rides a futuristic levitating motorcycle in {{g|Colosseum}}. Motorbikes have been used by [[Officer Jenny]] multiple times in the anime, and one was used by a [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' when he was chasing {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}.
| | Vehicles are commonly seen, but rarely used by the player. The opening scene of the [[Hoenn]] games sees the player arriving in a moving van. In [[Lumiose City]] in [[Kalos]], the player can use the [[Lumi Cab]] taxi service. In [[Alola]], the Exeggutor Express bus can be used to reach the top of [[Mount Hokulani]]. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the player also rides a levitating motorcycle/scooter for intercity travel. |
|
| |
|
| A {{wp|scooter}} is used in the anime and in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}; in the latter, the scooter was later converted into a hoverscooter. {{wp|Segway}}s have also appeared in an episode of the anime, where they were referred to as scooters.
| | Trains provide some (usually intercity) travel in the games. The [[Magnet Train]] connects [[Saffron City]] in [[Kanto]] and [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]]. The [[Battle Subway]] can travel between [[Nimbasa City]] and [[Anville Town]] in [[Unova]]—but most of its lines function as [[battle facility|battle facilities]]. In [[Kalos]], a train connects [[Lumiose City]] and [[Kiloude City]], while a monorail connects two halves of [[Coumarine City]]. In [[Galar]], a rail system connects [[Wedgehurst]], the [[Wild Area]], [[Motostoke]], [[Hulbury]], [[Hammerlocke]], [[Galar Route 10|White Hill Station]], and [[Wyndon]]; a monorail in Wyndon also connects Wyndon Station, the Rose of the Rondelands, [[Wyndon Stadium]], and the {{gal|Battle Tower}}. In [[Orre]], [[The Under Subway]] connects [[The Under]] and the [[Shadow PKMN Lab]]. A cable car is also the primary means of reaching [[Mt. Chimney]]. |
|
| |
|
| ===Trains===
| | In {{g|Snap}} and [[New Pokémon Snap]], the player rides in special, self-navigating vehicles: [[ZERO-ONE]] and [[NEO-ONE]]. |
| [[File:Magnet Train arrive HGSS.png|thumb|220px|The [[Magnet Train]]]] | |
| Trains and subway stations have appeared several times in the {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|anime}}.
| |
|
| |
|
| The [[Magnet Train]] runs between [[Saffron City]] and [[Goldenrod City]], connecting [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] in the [[Generation II]] games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Generation IV remakes}}. It was constructed some time after [[Generation I]]. To ride it, a person needs a [[Pass]], which was given to those displaced by the train stations' construction. A Pass can be received by the {{OBP|Copycat|character}} if the player returns [[Lost Item|her doll]] which was given to her by the player in Generation I and their {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Generation III remakes}} and found by a [[Pokémon Fan Club]] member in [[Vermilion City]].
| | In other media, these transports may also appear when the story touches the same setting. In the anime, the destruction of {{an|Misty}}'s bike becomes the impetus for her to join Ash as his first traveling companion. {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}} also had bikes that were destroyed. |
|
| |
|
| The [[Battle Subway]], accessible in [[Unova]] from [[Nimbasa City]], functions as Unova's version of the [[Battle Tower]]. One train can also be ridden by the player to [[Anville Town]]. As well as featuring Battle Trains, the Battle Subway appears as typical public transportation for the citizens of Nimbasa City.
| |
|
| |
| In [[Galar]], there is a railway system that connects various areas of the region. The railways connect the following areas: [[Wedgehurst]], the [[Wild Area]], [[Motostoke]], [[Hulbury]], [[Hammerlocke]], [[Galar Route 10|White Hill Station]] and [[Wyndon]].
| |
|
| |
| ===Recreational equipment===
| |
| {{wp|Skateboard}}s have also made an appearance in the anime. {{wp|Ski}}s are used by the {{tc|Skier}} Trainer class and {{wp|snowboard}}s are used by the {{tc|Boarder}} Trainer class, and both appear in the Japanese anime ending theme [[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~]]. {{wp|Sled}}s have also appeared multiple times in the anime.
| |
|
| |
| ===Other===
| |
| [[File:AG041 Inside TR Mecha.png|220px|thumb|The [[Team Rocket trio]] inside a typical [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]]]]
| |
| Other unique forms of land transport have appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}} and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]].
| |
|
| |
| Many of [[Team Rocket's mechas]] have the ability to transport people and Pokémon.
| |
|
| |
| In {{g|Snap}}, the [[ZERO-ONE]] is an all-terrain safari vehicle designed by [[Professor Oak]]. One of the main features of the ZERO-ONE is that it can switch modes depending on its terrain. It has a land mode, a water mode, and an air mode. The ZERO-ONE has no steering mechanism. Instead, it will follow a set path preprogrammed by Professor Oak that takes it to the goal gate.
| |
|
| |
| In [[New Pokémon Snap]], the player character rides an upgraded version called the [[NEO-ONE]] vehicle. It was developed by [[Professor Mirror]], with assistance from [[Todd Snap]]. It moves around by hovering, following a preprogrammed path, though there are instances where the player can choose to take an alternate path, which later reconnect with the main path. It is able to teleport to and from certain predetermined points around the [[Lental]] region.

| |
| Several forms of aircraft appear across the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, and {{pkmn|manga}}.
| |
|
| |
| {{wp|Airplane}}s and airports have appeared sparingly in the games, along with the {{tc|Pilot}} Trainer class. Airplanes have also appeared several times in the anime.
| |
|
| |
| In {{game4|BWB2W2}}, [[Team Plasma]] uses an airship named the [[Plasma Frigate]]. Airships have also frequently been used by villains in the anime. Hover cars have also been used for various purposes in the anime. Additionally, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] travel in the [[Brave Asagi]] during ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. Other futuristic hovercraft-like transport have been used in various Pokémon media, including {{wp|Flying car (fiction)|Air car}}s, which have been seen commonly in the various manga.
| |
|
| |
| In {{g|Conquest}}, a {{wp|blimp}} is used to carry [[Warrior]]s between non-adjacent [[Ransei|kingdoms]]. Blimps have also appeared several times in the anime, usually to travel long distances.
| |
|
| |
| {{wp|Helicopter}}s are also a common form of aircraft used by various characters in the games, anime, and manga.

| |
| In {{g|GO}}, {{wp|hot air balloon}}s allow players to battle members of [[Team GO Rocket]]. They are also used by {{TRT}} in many episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Spacecraft===
| | [[File:Brave Asagi.png|thumb|right|The [[Brave Asagi]]]] |
| {{wp|UFO}}s are mentioned in the [[Pokédex]] entries of {{p|Elgyem}}, and flying saucers physically appear in the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|manga}}. A couple {{wp|rocket}}s appear in the {{pkmn|games}}, and several have appeared in the anime.
| | Air transport is relatively rare in the games. In [[Unova]], [[Mistralton City]] has an airport, from which the player can travel to the [[Nature Preserve]]. [[Team Plasma]] also uses an airship, the [[Plasma Frigate]]. In {{g|Conquest}}, a {{wp|blimp}} is used to carry [[Warrior]]s between non-adjacent [[Ransei|kingdoms]]. In {{g|GO}}, members of [[Team GO Rocket]] appear in [[Team GO Rocket#Team GO Rocket balloons|hot air balloons]]. In [[Hoenn]], in the [[Delta Episode]], the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]'s rocket is a centerpiece of the plan to stop an asteroid. |
|
| |
|
| ===Cable cars===
| | In the anime, the [[Team Rocket trio]] often uses many different kinds of [[Team Rocket's mechas#Team Rocket's balloons|balloons]] to travel and to spy on targets. {{Ash}} traveled by plane to reach [[Unova]] and [[Kalos]]. In ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] operate off their airship, the [[Brave Asagi]]. Helicopters are often used by [[villainous teams]]. |
| The {{wp|cable car}} to [[Mt. Chimney]] appears in the games, anime, and manga. Other cable cars appear in the anime as well.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Recreational equipment===
| |
| {{wp|Hanglider}}s have appeared a few times in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{wp|Jet pack}}s are used by various members of [[Team Rocket]] in the anime, including the [[Team Rocket trio]], and [[Santa Claus]] rides a flying sleigh in a few [[Christmas]]-themed episodes.

| ===Ships and boats===
| |
| Several ships and boats appear throughout Pokémon media.
| |
|
| |
| * The [[ghost ship]] is a 300-year-old ship whose {{OBP|captain|EP095}} won the [[Orange League]], and his [[Winner's Trophy|trophy]] is protected by his {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}. Until shortly before {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived on [[Moro Island]], it rested on the bottom of the ocean of the coast of the island.
| |
|
| |
| * The [[Royal Unova]] is a luxury liner in the [[Unova]] region that sails up the river from [[Castelia City]]. It sails every [[Time|evening]] and returns to Castelia City when it is officially night. Many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s ride the ship. The Royal Unova can sometimes be seen passing underneath the [[Skyarrow Bridge]] while the player crosses the bridge, even if it is not evening when the player does so.
| |
|
| |
| [[File:SS Anne FRLG.png|thumb|The [[S.S. Anne]]]]
| |
| * Depending on the [[canon]], the [[S.S. Anne]] stops only once every four years, annually, or monthly in [[Vermilion City]]. The [[S.S. Ticket]] that is needed to board the ship is only given away to exclusive people, such as [[Bill]] and [[Professor Oak]]. However, they can give the ticket away to others.
| |
|
| |
| * The [[S.S. Aqua]] is a boat that runs between [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]] and [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].
| |
|
| |
| * The [[S.S. Cactus]] was a large ship from the Hoenn Region, that supposedly carried large amounts of passengers and cargo. However, for some reason, the ship was partially submerged along {{rt|108|Hoenn}}, where it currently remains ruined on a sandbar. It is not specifically known where the boat ran between, though based on its location, one could assume it might have stopped at either [[Slateport City]] or [[Dewford Town]]. In present day, many Pokémon live in it, and lots of Trainers enjoy exploring and training on the boat, known as the Abandoned Ship.
| |
|
| |
| * The [[S.S. Libra]] runs from [[Orre]] to other regions and is used as a Pokémon cargo ship. During the events of {{Pokémon XD}}, it was destroyed by [[Shadow Lugia]] and all the Pokémon currently in it were transformed into [[Shadow Pokémon]]. [[Michael]] later found its remains near [[Phenac City]].
| |
|
| |
| * The [[S.S. Sinnoh]] is a boat in [[Sinnoh]] that runs from [[Snowpoint City]] to the [[Fight Area]] in the [[Battle Zone]]. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the S.S. Sinnoh is a regular-looking ship. However, in {{game|Platinum}}, it has been redesigned and renamed the S.S. Spiral, named after the two ice-breaking drills on its bow.
| |
|
| |
| * The [[S.S. St. Flower]] is a luxury cruise liner that sails in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], often stopping at the site of the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. It was featured in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'', where it was headed to [[Slateport City]]. Its passengers are {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s who successfully collected five {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s from Hoenn. The [[Ribbon Cup]] is displayed on board.
| |
|
| |
| * The [[S.S. Tidal]] is a boat that mostly runs in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. After the player has become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, it will always run between [[Lilycove City]] and [[Slateport City]], and to the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. However, it will also run to other places if the player has a ticket. With the [[Battle Pass]], it will run to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} (in {{V2|Emerald}}); with the [[Eon Ticket]], it will run to [[Southern Island]]; with the [[MysticTicket]], it will run to [[Navel Rock]]; with the [[AuroraTicket]], it will run to [[Birth Island]]; and with the [[Old Sea Map]], it will run to [[Faraway Island]].
| |
|
| |
| [[File:Seagallop Ferries.png|thumb|220px|One of the [[Seagallop]] ferries]]
| |
| * The [[Seagallop]] ferries run between [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]] and each of the nine [[Sevii Islands]]. There are currently four known tickets that can be used to board a Seagallop ferry: The [[Tri-Pass]] allows the holder to travel to {{isl|One}}, {{isl|Two}} and {{isl|Three}} Islands, the [[Rainbow Pass]] to the same three islands, as well as {{isl|Four}}, {{isl|Five}}, {{isl|Six}}, and {{isl|Seven}} Islands, the [[MysticTicket]] allows travel to [[Navel Rock]], and the [[AuroraTicket]] allows travel to [[Birth Island]].
| |
|
| |
| * [[The Union]] was hand crafted by [[Booker]] and remains at the [[Ranger Union]] in [[Almia]]. Before retirement, [[Murph]] took it to the [[Oblivia]] region to assist {{ra|Ben}} and {{ra|Summer}} with their missions there.
| |
|
| |
| * In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, ferries are the main mode of transportation used to travel between the islands of Alola, as well as to [[Aether Paradise]]. [[Hau'oli City]], [[Heahea City]] and [[Malie City]] each have their own ferry terminals. [[Professor Kukui]] owns a sail boat, that is used to transport [[Hau]] and the player from [[Melemele Island]] to [[Akala Island]]. [[Gladion]] drives a [[Team Skull]] themed boat to take Hau and the player to Aether Paradise. The [[Aether Foundation]] has their own similarly styled boat.
| |
|
| |
|
| Additionally, several other ships and boats appear throughout various Pokémon media, including a variety of different types of boats. {{wp|Gondola}}s have featured a few times in the {{pkmn|anime}}. {{wp|Jet ski}}s were featured in the anime opening theme, ''[[We Will Be Heroes]]'', as well as in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. {{wp|Kayak}}s and {{wp|canoe}}s have also appeared a couple times in the anime, and a {{wp|steamboat}} made an appearance in an episode. Additionally, {{TRT}} has used many different boats in the anime.
| | [[File:SS Anne PE.png|thumb|The S.S. Anne in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]]] |
| | Most games feature a prominent mode of water transport. In [[Kanto]], several ships dock at [[Vermilion City]]: the [[S.S. Anne]] is luxury cruise that sails the world; the [[S.S. Aqua]] travels between Vermilion City and [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]]; the [[Seagallop]] provides access to and between the [[Sevii Islands]]. In [[Hoenn]], the [[S.S. Tidal]] mainly goes between [[Lilycove City]] and [[Slateport City]]. In [[Unova]], the [[Royal Unova]] in [[Castelia City]] provides a short pleasure cruise that returns to dock in a matter of hours. In [[Alola]], ferries are the main mode of transportation between the islands (docking at [[Hau'oli City]], [[Heahea City]], [[Malie City]], and the [[Seafolk Village]]), as well as [[Aether Paradise]]. |
|
| |
|
| ===Submarines===
| | In the anime, the [[Team Rocket trio]] often uses [[Team Rocket's mechas#Team Rocket's balloons|submarines]] to travel and spy on targets. In [[Alto Mare]], a city of canals, gondolas provide a major means of transportation. |
| [[File:Magikarp Submarine.png|thumb|220px|The most used of [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's submarines]], a {{p|Magikarp}} submarine]] | |
| {{wp|Submarine}}s appear in the [[Hoenn]]-based [[core series]] games, in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, and and are often used by {{TRT}} in the {{pkmn|anime}} to spy on {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who have also traveled in submarines.
| |
|
| |
|
| In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Submarine Explorer 1]], made by [[Captain Stern]], is stolen by [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]] (depending on the version) to reach [[Seafloor Cavern]], where either {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} lies.
