Meloetta (Japanese: Meloetta) is a Normal-type legendary Pokmon.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any Pokmon, it has a second Forme activated by using the move Relic Song in battle. Its original Forme, Aria Forme, will then become Pirouette Forme.

Meloetta was leaked on a poster of M15 on February 26, 2012, and it was officially revealed by Oha Suta on March 1, 2012.

Meloetta seems to be a femininely anthropomorphic figure with musical bar-style streaks in its hair, quarter notes () for its arms and hands, and pupil-less eyes resembling whole notes. It has a third eye or a jewel on its forehead and a black headpiece that seems to be shaped like a treble clef which doubles as an attached microphone such as one often used by singers. Its ovular head seems to be its body's height and about half its height in width. In its Aria Forme, it has light blue eyes and flowing, wavy hair with light-blue ovals that resemble whole notes. In its Pirouette Forme, it has auburn hair that seems to be stylized in a high bun and red eyes. In either Forme, its midriff and eyes match its hair.

According to artists in Unova, Meloetta's beautiful music and dance inspired many works of art, music, and songs. This made the Pokmon popular among both musicians and dancers.

Meloetta is able to change forms when it uses the move Relic Song, which changes its form from Aria Forme to its Pirouette Forme, or vice versa. In its Aria Forme, it is a dual-type Normal/Psychic-type Pokmon; in its Pirouette Forme, it is a dual-type Normal/Fighting-type Pokmon. It reverts to Aria Forme when switched out or when the battle ends. Like many other legendary Pokmon, Meloetta is capable of becoming invisible.

In its Aria Forme, Meloetta can sing beautiful songs. While in its Pirouette Forme, Meloetta can perform graceful dances.

Meloetta once played a song and danced so lightly, it filled people's hearts with joy. However, when sorrow darkened the world, Meloetta lost the melody. At the same time, its red shoes were lost somewhere.

Upon entering the cafe in Castelia City, a guitarist, who knows of the story, remembers Meloetta's melody. Upon playing it, Meloetta remembers the song that it had danced to.

Meloetta made its debut in An Epic Defense Force! (although it had previously appeared in PK23). Later, in All for the Love of Meloetta! it appeared in front of Cynthia's car, having been attacked by Team Rocket. It follows Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Cynthia to Undella Town and appears again in Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!. It openly reveals itself and even sings after becoming very comfortable around Ash and his friends.

By Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!, Meloetta had become comfortable enough to challenge one of Ash's Pokmon to a battle; however, the battle was interrupted by Ridley who mistakenly believed Ash was attacking it. Giovanni and Team Rocket later force Meloetta to surrender after threatening Ash and Pikachu. It's final appearance thus far is in Unova's Survival Crisis! when it decides to go home with Ridley.

Meloetta's Aria Forme resembles a typical singer with the black headpiece acting like a headset microphone, while the Pirouette Forme resembles a ballerina wearing a tutu and its "hair" curled up in a bun. In this Forme it also shares elements from Spanish Flamenco dancers. Meloetta's headpiece resembles a stylized treble clef. It may be also based on a muse, a mythological entity to whom was attributed, in Ancient Greece, the ability to inspire artistic creation.

Meloetta may be a combination of melody and pirouette (a type of movement in ballet). Etta is also a common, feminine Italian suffix meaning little and may refer to monster Ribsiglov Meloetta's feminine appearance and diminutive size. It may literally mean little melody, as Italian words are commonly used for musical directions and descriptions. Etta could also have derived from the famous jazz singer Etta James.

Aria is a term now used almost exclusively to describe a self-contained piece for one voice usually with orchestral accompaniment, and is commonly used in opera.

PirouetteFrench for to whirlis a controlled turn on one leg, starting with one or both legs in pli and rising onto demi-pointe (usually for men) or pointe (usually for women). The non-supporting leg can be held in retir position, or in attitude, arabesque level or second position.

Pokmon FireRed Version (Japanese: Pocket Monsters Firered) and Pokmon LeafGreen Version (Japanese: Pocket Monsters Leafgreen) are a pair of main series Generation III games that are set in the Kanto region. They were released in Japan on January 29, 2004, in North America on September 9, 2004, in Australia on September 23, 2004 and in Europe on October 1, 2004.

By nature, the games are remakes of the original pair of Pokmon games, Pocket Monsters Red & Green, and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games.

The Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for link cables when trading between the two games (and later Pokmon Emerald Version). In later copies, it was sold separately.

FireRed and LeafGreen went on to become the second best-selling games of the Game Boy Advance, only behind Pokmon Ruby and Sapphire Versions. They also received Nintendo's Player's Choice awards.

The plot essentially follows the same storyline as Generation I, with the player beginning in Pallet Town. After meeting Professor Oak while trying to leave for Route 1, both the player and his or her rival are asked by Oak to choose a starter Pokmon, Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle, from the desk near him. Oak allows the player to choose first and the rival quickly gets jealous, chooses the starter whose type weakens that of the player's, and challenges the player to a battle. During this Pokmon battle Professor Oak commentates.

After the battle has ended, Oak allows the two new Trainers to leave for their journey across Kanto. Stopping off in Viridian City's Pok Mart, the player will find that a package has come in for the professor, and the clerk asks that it be delivered to him. After this has been completed, the professor gives two Pokdexes, one for the player, and one for the rival, away to them, and sends them on their way. Viridian has a Gym; however, it is locked.

From here, the player has their first encounter with other Trainers, on Route 2 and in Viridian Forest, and their first encounter with a Gym Leader: Brock the Rock-type Gym Leader of Pewter City. After his defeat, journeying along Route 3 and through Mt. Moon brings the player face to face with the regional villainous team, Team Rocket attempting to extract rare Fossils from the cave. Their defeat allows the player to continue through the cave, obtain the Dome Fossil or Helix Fossil, and continue onto Route 4, which leads directly into Cerulean City, where another Gym is. This one, however, is run by Misty, and specializes on Water-type Pokmon. To the north, as well, there are two routes leading up to Bill's cottage, where he will give the player a ticket for the S.S. Anne, a luxury ship moored in Vermillion Harbor and filled with Trainers. Taking a shortcut through a house burglarized by Team Rocket, the player finally arrives at Route 5.

After traveling down Routes 5 and 6, using the Underground Path to bypass Saffron City, the player finally arrives in Vermilion. This city is home to another Pokmon Gym; however, the way to it is blocked by a small tree. The only thing to do is to show the ticket to the Sailor guarding the harbor, allowing entry into the S.S. Anne. It is here, after assisting the captain with his seasickness, that the player will obtain the first of the seven Hidden Machines available in the game, containing Cut. With this, and the Cascade Badge, the tree blocking the way to Vermilion Gym can be easily cut through, and Lt. Surge, a Gym Leader specializing in Electric-types, can be challenged. From here, Route 11 beckons, as does Diglett's Cave, through which is the only way to get back to Route 2, and a second HM, containing Flash held by one of Professor Oak's aids on Route 2. The player takes a brief detour to Pewter City's museum's back entrance which was previously blocked due to a Cut-able tree, which can now easily be bypassed. The player obtains the Old Amber in the museum. Heading back to Diglett's Cave, and to Vermilion, the player must go to Cerulean and to the east, onto Route 9 and towards the Rock Tunnel.

Rock Tunnel, a still undeveloped natural tunnel between the sections of Route 10, is pitch black inside; for this reason, Flash is recommended, but not required, for navigation of it. Finally reaching Lavender Town, the only town in Kanto without a Pokmon Gym besides Pallet, there is not much to do; the local Pokmon Tower is haunted. From here, Route 8 leads to Saffron City, but it again must be bypassed by way of another Underground Path, which has its other entrance on Route 7, on the west side of Saffron. Celadon City, the home of the fourth Gym, specializing in Grass-type Pokmon is just a short walk further. Like the Vermilion Gym, the Celadon Gym also has a small tree blocking the way to its entrance, and an old man outside.

The Rocket Game Corner in Celadon is not what it appears to be. In fact, the Game Corner itself is merely the above ground portion of a sprawling underground complex: the Rocket Hideout. The Team Rocket boss, Giovanni, appears for the first time here, and after his defeat, flees, leaving behind a Silph Scope. A Silph Scope is required to fully navigate the Pokmon Tower inside of Lavender Town that the player encountered earlier.

After this, the Pokmon Tower can be navigated, and the ghosts haunting it are revealed to be Gastly and Haunter. In front of the stairs to the final floor, blocking the way, is also a final spirit, that of a deceased Marowak that was killed by Team Rocket when they captured her child. Making it all the way to the top reveals Mr. Fuji held hostage by Team Rocket grunts, who will leave when they are defeated. Fuji gives away the Pok Flute, and with that, the Snorlax blocking Route 11 and Route 16 can finally be moved away. Another HM, containing Fly, can be obtained easily by cutting away a tree blocking the northern section of Route 16.

Now the player is presented with a choice of how to get to Fuchsia City. Traveling down either way the Snorlax are blocking, a faster way via Routes 16, 17, and 18 on Cycling Road, or down the Silence Bridge of Routes 12, 13, 14, and 15, inevitably brings one to the southernmost city in continental Kanto, Fuchsia City, home of Koga of the Poisonous Fuchsia Gym and the Kanto Safari Zone. The Safari Zone is currently running a contest: the person to reach a specific rest house first will win yet another HM, containing Surf. Finding the Safari Zone Warden's Gold Teeth also will have him reward the player with the final of Kanto's HMs, containing Strength.

The player then goes back to either Celadon City or Lavender Town, encountering the other Snorlax on the way back. After stopping off at the Celadon Mansion and getting some Tea, Saffron City can finally be entered. However, Team Rocket is guarding almost every door in the city, including that of the local Pokmon Gym! One of the open buildings however, is the unofficial Fighting-type Pokmon Gym. After the player defeats the Fighting Dojo, he/she is entitled to either a Hitmonchan or a Hitmonlee. The city's centerpiece building, Silph Co.'s headquarters, has also been infiltrated by the organization, and at the top, waiting in the boardroom, is the Team Rocket Boss, Giovanni, appearing for a second time, demanding that the president give him the Master Ball that the company had developed. After his defeat, he flees.

After Team Rocket clears out of Saffron City, all buildings previously blocked are now open, as well as the Gym. The Gym Leader, Sabrina, specializes in Psychic-types. The floor, as well, is covered in warp tiles that make it difficult to navigate. After Sabrina's defeat, the player makes his/her way back to Fuchsia City again, and heads out to obtain the rest of the Badges.

With six Badges in hand, and five HMs in the TM Case, finally the player can adventure onto the open sea of Routes 19 and 20. A short way across them, of course, is a minor obstacle: the Seafoam Islands. After they have been navigated through, the player can continue on Route 20 to Cinnabar Island, home of Blaine's Fire-type Gym. There are also several more facilities on the island, including one that actually revives Pokmon Fossils. After Blaine's defeat, Bill shows up again, because he needs help in a small region south of Kanto, the Sevii Islands. If the player accepts, the Seagallop Ferry will travel to One Island, where a friend of Bill's, Celio, is attempting to connect the islands' PC system to that of Kanto. During this, there is also a crisis in Two Island, where the daughter of the owner of the Joyful Game Corner has gone missing, and in Three Island where a group of invading Bikers are causing trouble. After defeating them and finding the lost girl, Lostelle, who is in Berry Forest, Bill and the player will return to Kanto, where the final Gym, that of Viridian City, lies.

Finally unlocked, the Gym, whose leader specializes in Ground-types, is revealed to be none other than the boss of Team Rocket himself, Giovanni! After his defeat, he vows to disband Team Rocket and disappears. Now with eight Badges, all that lies ahead is the Pokmon League at Indigo Plateau, conveniently at the end of Route 23.

The Elite Four await challengers, those who have proven themselves worthy by getting all eight Badges and making it through Victory Road will face them, in order. Lorelei, who trains Ice-type Pokmon is first, followed by Bruno, whose specialty is Fighting, Agatha, whose specialty is Ghost, and finally Lance, who specializes in Dragon-types. After defeating these four, the reigning Pokmon Champion challenges the player to a final battle, and the Champion is none other than the player's own rival! After his defeat, Oak arrives and tells the player that they won because they care better for their Pokmon, and the player's current party are added to the Hall of Fame.

After the credits roll, the player is back in Pallet Town. Professor Oak will have the player come to his lab to check on the Venonake Pokdex, and if the player has caught at least 60 Pokmon, will upgrade it and ask for the player to return to the Sevii Islands to encounter Pokmon Oak has never before seen.

There is some more work that Celio needs to do on his network machine, as he wishes to link to yet another region. The signal, however, is not strong enough, and he needs the Ruby and the Sapphire, two items found in the Sevii Islands, to strengthen it. The Ruby is found deep in a cave in Mt. Ember, which Team Rocket grunts have been seen fooling around with. The Sapphire lies at the deepest part of the Dotted Hole in Ruin Valley. The Ruby can be given to Celio without a hitch; however, the Sapphire, when found, is stolen by a Scientist named Gideon, who takes it back to Team Rocket's warehouse in the Five Isle Meadow. By infiltrating the warehouse and defeating the remaining Rocket Admins, they realize that Giovanni has disbanded Team Rocket. They do, however, vow to return one day, and bring Team Rocket back to its glory. Gideon reluctantly gives back the Sapphire, and after this, trades are possible with the Hoenn-based Pokmon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. The Elite Four can once again be challenged, and their Pokmon are 12 levels higher, as well as some of them possessing new Pokmon. Cerulean Cave, as well, is now open, and the powerful Mewtwo can be found there.

Set off on a grand adventure to fulfil your dreams of becoming a Pokmon Master! Explore the Kanto region and discover wild Pokmon around every corner. Build you Pokmon collection and train and battle your way to successearn your badges as you develop winning strategies to use against experienced Gym Leaders in every town. Explore every inch to uncover amazing secrets that will help you in your quest to be the very best trainer ever!

The following Pokmon are only obtainable in one game of this pair. In order to obtain Pokmon exclusive to the other game of this pair, they must be traded either from that game or from another compatible game of Generation III which has that Pokmon available.

Netflix adds five Disney shows to US streaming service

(Reuters) - Netflix Inc's U.S. streaming video service added five children's shows from Walt Disney Co's Disney Junior and Disney XD cable networks under a multiyear licensing deal announced on Thursday.

Netflix will be the exclusive subscription video home in the United States for two of the shows, "Jake and the Never Land Pirates" from Disney Junior and "Tron: Uprising" from Disney XD. The two shows are available starting Thursday, a statement from the companies said.

Three other shows, "Handy Manny," "Special Agent Oso" and "JoJo's Circus," will appear on the Netflix streaming service in the United States later this month.

Activision warns of rocky second half, shares slide

By Malathi Nayak

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Activision Blizzard Inc warned investors on Wednesday that it expects a challenging second-half and holiday quarter because of heavy competition and uncertainty around the launch of new video game consoles.

The shares of the largest U.S. video games publisher were down about 5 percent at $14.45 in after-hours trading from its $15.26 close on the Nasdaq.

Subscribers to "World of Warcraft," a large source of steady subscription-based revenue, dropped sharply by about 14 percent to 8.3 million last quarter from 9.6 million in the previous quarter, the company said.

Activision executives told analysts they expect Warcraft subscriber figures to dip further in coming months as the fantasy-action game continues to lose users to similar, free-to-play games.

"No one understands what 'numbers to go lower' means and that's got investors concerned," said Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities. "Activision's going to have to stabilize that."

To arrest the loss of subscribers, the company will invest significantly in the franchise and deliver new content to engage players, Chief Executive Officer Bobby Kotick said in an interview.

The company, known for its "Call of Duty" and "Skylanders" games, slightly raised its 2013 revenue and earnings forecast to $4.25 billion and 82 cents per share, compared with $4.18 billion and 80 cents provided at the end of the last quarter ended January 30.

Its 2013 outlook was below the view of Wall Street analysts, who expected the company to forecast revenue of $4.27 billion and earnings at 85 cents per share.

In contrast, rival Electronic Arts Inc on Tuesday forecast fiscal 2014 earnings above Wall Street's expectations, triggering a 17 percent rally in its shares on Wednesday.

WHITHER THE XBOX?

The video game industry is grappling with flagging sales as players migrate from to buying packaged games for consoles to free or less-expensive offerings on mobile devices.

Moreover, consumers have held back from buying hardware and software as they await new versions of Sony Corp's PlayStation and Microsoft Corp's Xbox, which are expected later this year.

Nintendo Co Ltd's new Wii U console, which was launched in November, has disappointed investors with its lackluster sales, casting doubt on the industry's hope that new consoles could boost prospects.

This year, Activision will clash with a number of mega-franchises during the coming holidays, a crucial period that often accounts for the bulk of the industry's annual revenue.

Its top releases include shooter game "Call of Duty: Ghosts", which will compete with EA's "Battlefield 4" over the holidays. Its "Skylanders SWAP Force", a children's fantasy-adventure game sold with actual toys that come to life onscreen, will battle Disney's "Infinity", based on a similar concept, and is slated for release in August.

"Infinity is going to be supported by a large marketing budget so obviously, it's something that's formidable," Pachter said.

To try and get a leg up on the competition, Kotick told analysts that Activision will "further increase our sales and marketing investments," without offering specifics.

Activision's warnings about the competition overshadowed strong first-quarter earnings.

The Santa Monica-based company said non-GAAP revenue, adjusted for the deferral of digital revenue and other items, rose to $804 million, surpassing Wall Street's average revenue forecast for $704.6 million and up 37 percent from $587 million in the same quarter a year ago.

Non-GAAP income totaled $199 million, or 17 cents per share, in the fourth quarter, compared with $67 million, or 6 cents per share a year earlier. This beat Wall Street's average earnings estimate of 11 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

93% No

All Critics (100) | Top Critics (31) | Fresh (93) | Rotten (7)

"No" is a picture that perches precariously on the cusp of a paradox.

A cunning and richly enjoyable combination of high-stakes drama and media satire from Chilean director Pablo Larrain.

A mesmerizing, realistic and often hilarious look at the politics of power and the power of ideas ...

A political drama, a personal drama, a sharp-eyed study of how the media manipulate us from all sides, No reels and ricochets with emotional force.

It's a funny look at the way the media warp public opinion, and a curiously hopeful one.

On every level, "No" leaves one with bittersweet feelings about democracy, love and the cost of compromise.

NO is an important film - especially for people too young or too far removed from Pinochet's "Dirty War" to remember how horrifying the situation was in Argentina during the '70s and '80s. Bernal's screen presence goes a long way in making the movie work

A bitingly funny, fascinating and moving portrait of Pinochet's fall that's smartly shot and superbly performed.

"NO" is an inspirational political drama in which the people are roused by the visual to overcome the vicious.

... features a fine performance by Gael Garc?a Bernal as young ad exec Ren? Saavedra, who didn't, at first, quite realise what he was in for when he decided to assist in the bringing down of military dictator Augusto Pinochet.

No is a great historical document as to how one very important revolution started with a commercial.

The understated performance by Bernal was inspiring, as was the pic.

It's not easy material but it's truly fascinating, and expertly done.

An extremely perceptive and intriguing examination of the effect that media hype and spin have on the political process.

...a bitter and knowing meditation on media manipulation and political subversion.

Larrain deftly mixes social satire and historical drama.

All historical and little drama.

Larrain does a fine job of making No look and sound authentic to its time period, although the VHS-quality photography, all washed-out with colors bleeding together as camcorders did in the '80s, is an occasional irritant.

Silliness is on the side of the angels in a brilliant and highly entertaining film that's part political thriller, part media satire.

It's clear that the language of advertising has become universal, and that political commodities can be sold like soap. But toppling a dictatorship? Now there's a story.

A reflection of a moment in time, made in the image of that moment.

Bernal deftly explores the layers of the character's complexity, including his political apathy.

"No" is filmmaking of the first order.

Old technology plus the packaging of a revolution add up to a Yes

Freshens up a decades-old story with vibrant humor and a good sense of storytelling.
