Game Boy Tower in Pokémon Stadium
Game Boy Tower in Pokémon Stadium 2
A Game Boy Tower (Japanese: GBビル GB Building) is a location in the Pokémon Stadium series where players may play Game Boy Pokémon games using the Transfer Pak. The Tower places a border around the game screen, using the same borders as the Super Game Boy accessory, with the exception of Pokémon Crystal, which uses a generic border designed after a Game Boy; this same border is seen for a few moments in all games while it loads the boot ROM before rendering the Super Game Boy border and then booting the games in either Super Game Boy mode (for the Generation I games other than international Pokémon Yellow) or Game Boy Color mode (for the Generation II games and international Pokémon Yellow).
When the Japanese Pokémon Red, Green, or Blue are played on the Game Boy Tower, the animations of some moves are slowed down significantly, more so than in the edited animations of Japanese Pokémon Yellow and Western Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow. This can occasionally cause brief graphical bugs with some moves, such as Body Slam. When played on a Super Game Boy or Game Boy Player, however, the animations are shown in their original unedited form.

Upgrades
The player can unlock upgrades for the Game Boy Tower by completing various cups. The Doduo Game Boy Tower allows games to be played at twice the speed, while the Dodrio Game Boy Tower allows games to be played at three times the speed (four times the speed for Generation I games in Pokémon Stadium 2).
In the Japan-only Pokémon Stadium, the Doduo Game Boy Tower is unlocked by clearing either the Level 1-30 Division tournament or the Level 50-55 Division tournament. Likewise, the Dodrio Game Boy Tower is unlocked by clearing both cups. Similarly, in the Western Pokémon Stadium (known as Pokémon Stadium 2 in Japan), the Doduo Game Boy Tower is unlocked in the original Stadium by completing the Poké Cup or the Prime Cup, while the Dodrio Game Boy Tower is unlocked by completing both cups.
In Pokémon Stadium 2 (known as Pokémon Stadium: Gold & Silver in Japan), the Doduo Game Boy Tower is unlocked for Generation I games by completing the Gym Leader Castle or clearing all of the Stadium Cups in Round 1, and the Dodrio Game Boy Tower is unlocked by completing both. To unlock the modes for the Generation II games, the same requirements must be met in Round 2. In Pokémon Stadium 2, when Doduo mode is used with a Generation II game, the border changes to black and applies a sepia-tone effect to the game display. Stadium 2's Dodrio mode, when used with a Generation II game, changes the game display's tone to black-and-white. Additionally, these modes cannot be used with a Generation II game until the Generation II game clears the Elite Four for the first time.

Trivia
The Game Boy Tower appears to use a modified version of the Super Game Boy 2's BIOS; if it is forced to run a Game Boy or compatible Game Boy Color game other than the core series Pokémon titles, the Game Boy Tower will run the programming on it identically to the peripheral, complete with Super Game Boy-compatible games utilizing the special borders, colors, and sounds programmed onto their cartridges. However, the Game Boy Tower's save feature will not function in this scenario due to the Pokémon Stadium games not being programmed to recognize these ROMs.[1][2]

Is there a reason why you blanked the recasting controversy series box? - 振霖T 08:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
That was a mistake, I accidently blanked it while editing the article, and I couldn't figure out know how to restore it. My apologies. .--Trainer-c

Battle Tower - Riley
I see you did awesome work with the Battle tower guys! Are you going to do the same with Riley? If so, I could help you, I've listed about 27 of Pokémon he uses at BT. Piotr mil 01:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Pokémon learnsets
Thank you for helping with the learnsets on the Pokémon page for Paras. Next time, please enter the information the way it is on all the pages I've done recently. (I've fixed up the Paras page to look right.)User142 | Talk 00:11, 9 January 2006 (CST)

Response to Sceptile
Recently when reffering to the characters' voice actors, we have tried just say that they are either from the 4kids dub or the TAJ dub.
Example: Ash is voiced by Veronica Taylor (4Kids dub) and Sarah Natochenny (Pokémon USA/TAJ Productions dub).
It's much easier than trying to figure out the episode number. Not everyone knows all the episode numbers by heart.
We recently started to do it this way.We are trying to convert all of the characters pages to this way and haven't gotten to all of them yet. Don't believe me? Ask PAK Man about it. --☆ケンジガール 04:45, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I personally do think it's a better idea to have it say Veronica Taylor (4Kids dub) and Sarah Natochenny (Pokémon USA/TAJ dub). The episode listing way does appear to make more sense, but for someone who is unfamiliar with our numbering system, it would probably be more confusing for them.
As for the characters with multiple voice actors under the same dub, I wonder if maybe writing it like this would be better: Megan Hollingshead (4Kids dub, EP002-AG040), Bella Hudson (4Kids dub, AG042-AG145) and Michelle Knotz (Pokémon USA/TAJ Productions dub). That way, we're covering both production companies, in addition to the specific episodes they were in. Also (and I realize this wasn't brought up) I don't believe that we should list a voice actor if they only played the role for one episode. Take a look at Ash's Donphan and see how big of a mess that is. Even with our new system, that's still going to take jeux video gratuit a telecharger (voglio scaricare dei giochi gratis monstermmorpg (monster mmorpg)) while to clean up. Hope this answers your question, and please inquire on my talk page if you need anything else answered. --PAK Man Talk 12:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Errors???
Dude, why are you deleteing all of the errors in the diamond and pearl episodes???? --Theryguy512 12:21, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm deleting the incorrect errors. I am checking with the actual episodes on Youtube to make certain. Trainer-c 12:30, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
You can't just go deleting sections of trivia just because you feel like it. At least explain why you think it doesn't belong there. ~Kenn 14:57, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I also think alot of the trivia info is just taking up space, but there are people who think that it belongs there and the last thing that we need is another edit war. What can I say, really? ~Kenn 14:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

RE:Jirachi trivia
Is there a reason why you changed it in the first place? PL12 13:09, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
DST
Why don't you want users to be able to choose whether they want it spelled "daylight saving time" or "daylight savings time"? Both are common ways of spelling it, so each user should be able to pick which way they want it spelled. --Shiny Noctowl 18:19, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
As far as I am aware, daylight savings time is not used in any official or professional settings. Type "daylight savings time" into google, you will find that daylight savings does not show up in results, nor does it show up on any informational sites, news articles, Wikipedia, even the US government sites refer to it as daylight saving. Trainer-c 18:35, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=daylight+saving+time&word2=daylight+savings+time
Whether it's used in any official settings doesn't matter, the fact is some people spell it like that so they should have the option of spelling it like that instead of being forced to conform to your rigid standards.
I'm not arguing that it should be changed to "daylight savings time", I'm just saying users should have the choice. --Shiny Noctowl 19:00, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Just so you know
There is already a RBY moveset page for Clefairy, and it's more complete. Plus yours is spelled wrong (Cefairy).
Wanted to give you a friendly notice that I'm gonna get rid of of the Cefairy page, I didn't want to just wipe it out without telling you. ~Toastypk - Loom. 16:49, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Okay. I didn't know if there was or wasn't since the link was blank as I was working on Clefairy's Gen 4 moveset. Thanks for letting me know. Trainer-c 16:57, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Keep it up. Make sure, if you can, that others know how to work it. TTEchidna 11:19, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. And I'll do my best to make sure others know how to use it. Trainer-c 05:47, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Uhhhmmm...
Likely a good idea to keep the information on the PUSA VA change on the individual VAs' pages. TTEchidna 07:34, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Okay. I was just thinking that for the act actors that played additional roles and were never part of the episode-to-episode cast and were never really 'replaced' that the whole "Voiced additional characters until the change, then returned in episode X" text is kind of dis-jointed. Trainer-c 07:49, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
EP images
Once you uploaded the pic with the appropriate Epicode and Episode number, you can just delete the screenshot= |, and the screenshot will appear in the article automatically. I hope you can upload more screenshots from the old episodes. =D Thank you. ►Ҝəυzø8 09:15, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. I'll try to get to the other early episodes with poor quality images. Trainer-c 09:37, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Jakks logo
It has unnecessary white spaces in the image, if it's not part of the logo itself. Could you at least crop it? Uhm, it's fine if you don't, just suggesting.. Thanks, ►Ҝəυzø8 12:42, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Sure thing. Cropping it is no problem at all. Trainer-c 12:43, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Nidoking
Hi! I warmly suggest you to reconsider you edit about the Origin of Nidoking. If you search pictures of "Baragon" or "バラゴン" with Google, you'll find plenty of pictures strictly similar to Nidoking. For example: dinosaur-like anatomy, single horn in the middle of the forehead, large bunny ears, thick reptilian tail, heat ray that he can fire from his mouth (from Wikipedia)... I think that there is enough evidence to put it in the article. --Siegfried 18:47, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
Hiya. Nidoking may resemble "Baragon" but that isn't enough for the Origin section of the article, which is for the inspirations behind a Pokémon's design. I think the resemblance may be notable enough for the Trivia section so I'll add it in there. Trainer-c 04:33, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
