Clemontic Gear

Through the, has come up with several inventions in his backpack called the Clemontic Gear (Japanese: シトロニックギア Citronic Gear), mostly to help  and  overcome a certain situation. Clemont usually introduces his new invention by saying, "The future is now, thanks to science! Clemontic Gear, ON!" followed by stating the name of the invention and explaining how it works. By means of a running gag, Clemont's inventions often explode or fail to work, with only a few inventions actually proving successful. Despite this, Ash always becomes enthralled with Clemont's inventions, always saying, "Wow! Science is so amazing!" Sometimes there is an environmental circumstance that causes the invention to fail, but most of the time it is because the invention is not completely finished yet. Clemont tends to give either very obvious or very long and unpractical names to his inventions, often to the annoyance of.

If the invention was a success, it means the invention did the job it was intended to do and did not malfunction or explode. If the invention was a failure, it completely failed to carry out the task it was intended to do, either by malfunctioning or blowing up. If the outcome of an invention is deemed imprecise, it means that the invention at least partially managed to carry out its task but still malfunctioned or blew up.
