Broken Moves

G122: /* T */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-25T12:35:33Z

G122: /* S */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-25T12:33:50Z

G122: /* S */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-25T12:32:00Z

G122: /* S */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-25T12:31:33Z

G122: /* S */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

G122: /* F */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-25T12:29:35Z

G122: /* D */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-25T12:29:03Z

G122: /* R */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-25T12:28:07Z

G122: /* K */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-25T12:27:26Z

G122: /* G */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-25T12:26:46Z

G122: /* F */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-25T12:25:19Z

G122: /* A */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:36:03Z

G122: /* B */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:33:12Z

G122: /* Z */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:32:43Z

G122: /* N */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:31:18Z

G122: /* H */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:30:54Z

G122: /* T */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:30:32Z

G122: /* T */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:29:47Z

G122: /* S */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:28:58Z

G122: /* J */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:28:16Z

G122: /* I */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:27:38Z

G122: /* F */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:20:44Z

G122: /* E */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==

Broken Moves

2014-06-23T15:19:40Z

G122: /* A */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-18T14:49:47Z

G122: /* W */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==

Broken Moves

2014-06-18T14:49:16Z

G122: /* S */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-18T14:48:08Z

G122: /* S */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-18T14:47:06Z

G122: /* N */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==
{{mainarticle|Status Effects}}

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-18T14:43:06Z

G122: /* D */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

Broken Moves

2014-06-18T14:37:38Z

G122: /* A */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

==Broken Status Conditions==

''This list reflects status conditions and conditions that are currently existent in PWO, but do not function in the same capacty, as they did in the official games, in one or more fashions.

[[File:Johto.png|200px|thumb|Johto Map]]
Johto is one of the two regions available within Pokémon World Online.

==Visiting Johto==
Upon completing the [[Starters Island]] quest, Johto is one of the two starting region options, as well as [[Kanto]], for players to select to depart to. The starters available for the region are [[Totodile]], [[Cyndaquil]], and [[Chikorita]].

Players who started in Kanto may access Johto, after completing their adventure in the Kanto region. After obtaining all 8 Kanto badges and a [[Items#Wind_Surfboard|Wind Surfboard]], players may access Johto initially by surfing west through [[Tohjo Falls]] to [[New Bark Town]].

An additional method of traveling to Johto is by use of the train station in [[Saffron City]]. This method will require a train pass; it can be obtained by doing the [[Kanto Train Quest]], which will require a Marsh badge, obtained in [[Saffron City]] (the 6th Kanto gym), plus a Plain Badge, obtained in [[Goldenrod City]] (the 3rd Johto gym), to start. This quest may be started by speaking to an NPC in the [[Saffron City]] train station after all of the required badges (noted above) have been obtained.

Broken Moves

2013-07-10T23:07:01Z

G122: /* B */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

Some moves have simply not been databased into the game yet as well, meaning they are non-existent, and are not learned by any Pokémon in PWO currently. This applies to the majority of generation 5 moves.

== List of Broken Moves ==
''This list reflects in-game mechanisms that may change over time, and therefore may be inaccurate. Attempts to keep this as up-to-date as possible are encouraged.''

=== A ===

|'''Why it's broken'''
|-
|Acupressure

|-
|After You
|Does not guarantee that the target will move first next turn.
|-
|Ally Switch

|-

|-
|Bug Bite

|}

Broken Moves

2012-11-13T18:12:32Z

G122: /* R */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

== List of Broken Moves ==
''This list reflects in-game mechanisms that may change over time, and therefore may be inaccurate. Attempts to keep this as up-to-date as possible are encouraged.''

Broken Moves

2012-11-13T18:07:33Z

G122: /* N */

The system used by [[Pokémon World Online]] to handle battling, while adequate, is quite sadly underdeveloped. This means that while it works well for the most part, sometimes an attack doesn't work exactly as you'd expect it to, or doesn't even work at all. This can be due to a bug, or simply because the move's behaviour has not being programmed in yet or is unsupported by the system.

When a move in PWO does not work in the same way you'd expect if you played an official Pokémon game, it is called a '''Broken Move'''.

== List of Broken Moves ==
''This list reflects in-game mechanisms that may change over time, and therefore may be inaccurate. Attempts to keep this as up-to-date as possible are encouraged.''
