Alcuni Pokémon, come [[Mew]] o [[Celebi]], possono essere ottenuti nelle cartucce italiane solo tramite trucchi come [[GameShark]] o [[Exploder]], poiché in originale sono stati distribuiti soltanto tramite eventi o strumenti speciali solo nel mercato giapponese e americano.

Ultimamente anche in Italia sono state organizzate iniziative simili, come il '''Pokémon Day''' tenutosi a [[Mirabilandia]] il [[2 luglio|2]] e [[3 luglio]] [[2005]]. Gli oltre 5000 partecipanti hanno potuto così ottenere nelle loro cassette di '''Pokémon Verde Foglia''' e '''Rosso Fuoco''' il '''Biglietto Aurora''', utilizzabile per raggiungere una nuova area segreta del gioco in cui catturare l'ambitissimo Pokémon [[Deoxys]].

== Generazioni ==

Tutti i Pokémon di proprietà della Pokémon Company sono divisi in generazioni. Esistono quattro generazioni di Pokémon, scelte in base ai Pokémon che ne fanno parte. Ogni generazione è introdotta da una coppia di videogiochi per Game Boy o successori (incluso il [[Nintendo DS]]), a partire da Pokémon Rosso e Blu. Ogni generazione introduce una gran quantità di nuovi Pokémon e una serie di caratteristiche che spesso sostituiscono quelle precedenti.

Le generazioni sono divise cronologicamente per ordine di pubblicazione; i Pokémon di ogni generazione generalmente appaiono all'inizio negli [[anime]] (soprattutto nei film) o nel gioco di carte prima della uscita dei giochi Game Boy, ma l'anime, il manga, e il gioco di carte è diviso in serie che ricalcano le generazione dei videogiochi e non viceversa.

Qualche caratteristica invece è stata prima introdotta altrove, prima di essere implementata nei giochi. Per esempio le sfide "Due contro Due" sono apparse molto tempo prima nell'anime che nel gioco, e le Abilità dei Pokémon sono state tratte dai Poteri Pokémon, introdotti molto tempo prima nel gioco di carte collezionabili Pokémon.

<!-- First (“Game Boy”) generation

Started with Pokémon Red and Blue. The 1st generation introduced the original 151 Pokémon, as well as the basic concepts of trading and battling Pokémon. In Japan, the first generation included Pokémon Red, Green, and later Blue, while other regions started with Red and Blue, but never got a Green. This generation was completed by the game Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition, loosely based upon the anime, in which the player started with a Pikachu who refused to go into its Poké Ball.

These versions of the games revolved around the country of Kanto. This generation also introduced the idea of a rival trainer whom the player faced a number of times, as well as a team of evil Pokémon trainers; however, Pokémon Red and Blue focus on the entire mostly-faceless organization of Team Rocket, while besides the normal Team Rocket trainers, Jessie, James, and Meowth (also recurring characters from the anime) also appear only in Pokémon Yellow.

These games were compatible with the N64 game Pokémon Stadium.

Remakes of the first two games, called Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen, were released in the 3rd “Advance” generation.

[edit]

Second (“GBC”) generation

Beginning with Pokémon Gold and Silver, this generation introduced an additional one hundred Pokémon, the “Mystery Gift” function with the GBC's IR port, customization of the protagonist's bedroom, the ability to pick Berries with healing properties, and Apricorns which could then be given to a character who would fashion them into custom Poké Balls, as well as the concepts of equipping Pokémon with items, Pokémon genders, breeding Pokémon, baby Pokémon and wild (random placement) one-per-game Pokémon such as Suicune, Entei and Raikou (3 new Legendary Pokémon), which would appear randomly around the newly created land of Johto. The games also introduced two new types of Pokémon, the Steel and Dark types.

The game also featured the newly created Pokégear which consisted of

* A mobile phone to communicate with in-game trainers for conversation or the potential of a rematch

* A radio, where the radio station chosen would influence the rate at which the player encountered wild Pokémon. There is also a station stating where certain Pokémon could be found.

* A watch function including time and day of the week and the ability to change between Summer Time or Mean Time. This feature is also related to the appearance and evolution of Pokémon on specific days and times, and is part of a Day and Night system in which the sun shone from 6am to 6pm, but from 6pm to 6am the land became dark.

This generation of the games was completed by Pokémon Crystal, which was most notably the only GBC-exclusive Pokémon RPG and the first which allowed the player to choose the protagonist's sex. It was also the first to feature Pokémon who would do a battle dance when encountered, and signposts indicating the entering of a route, town and occasionally building or cave. Crystal version also featured a slight alteration of the encounter with the 3 Legendary Pokémon, in which the player would eventually encounter Suicune and be able to catch it. However, the other two still had to be found in the normal way.

These games were compatible with Pokémon Stadium 2, save for Crystal, though there have been some cases where they are indeed compatible.

[edit]

Third (“Advance(d)”) generation

Starting over by hearkening back to Red and Blue, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire added another 135 Pokémon from the Hoenn region, as well as Pokémon natures (30 distinct Pokémon personality types), Pokémon Abilities (always-on special innate abilities), Pokéblocks and Pokémon Contests , and two-on-two Pokémon battles. However, this generation saw the loss of the Night and Day system, although the time mechanic did exist to the extent that a clock appeared and that certain Pokémon would only evolve into certain Pokémon at specific times of the day or night. These versions also introduced the ability to grow berries in certain places, each which had set lengths of time for their flowering, and the ability to make “Secret Bases” in trees or caves in which dolls, tables, chairs, plants, and other objects could be placed.

The third game in this series was Pokémon Emerald, which updated the PokéNAV's Trainers Eyes feature for a return to the mobile phone system of the previous generation (but modified, allowing players to contact Pokémon Gym Leaders for rematches, but no longer allowing them to remove NPC trainers). Emerald version also saw a return of the Pokémon battle dance when encountering an enemy Pokémon. These 3 versions all appeared on the Game Boy Advance. The Emerald version also shipped with the GBA wireless adapter for wireless battles.

This generation was rounded out on handhelds by Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen for the GBA, enhanced remakes of the first two Pokémon games, including a playable female character (based on concept art for a playable female the original designers considered but were unable to implement), new items and regions, move tutors, and all the features of the 2nd and 3rd generations, excluding the day/night system and (except in Japan) e-reader compatibility.

All five GBA games are compatible the storage program Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire for Nintendo GameCube, and also with Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. The first Pokémon RPGs for home consoles, these titles introduced the desert country of Orre, as well as corrupted shadow Pokémon, and “Snag”ging, the ability to steal/rescue them from their trainers and eventually “purify” them.

[edit]

Fourth generation

Slated to be introduced in Pokémon Ranger: the Road to Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS. A handful of new Pokémon from this generation have made cameo appearances in the seventh and eighth Pokémon movies (Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys and Mew and the Wave Guiding Hero: Lucario, respectively), as well as Pokémon XD and Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon Blue & Red. In addition, the anime has also featured the capture of three out of the five currently known fourth generation Pokémon. The known fourth generation Pokémon are: Manyula (evolution of Sneasel), Bonsly (pre-evolution of Sudowoodo), Lucario, Manene (pre-evolution of Mr. Mime), and Munchlax (pre-evolution of Snorlax). Popular Japanese magazine Coro Coro recently revealed one new Pokemon, Manaphy, and the shadows of 3 more Pokemon to be revealed in a later issue. -->
