Fun Fact

[Metallica]

A repel wont always work

 

[chorusco]

I highly doubt that. Pokemon was originally a bug collecting/trading game.

It Was The First Pokemon Created. If You Bought Last Years NOM Pokemon
10th Anniversary They Interveiwed The Creator And He Said It Was Poliwag

 

[Asarath365]

and so am i....*shudder*

Did you know that THERE ARE NO POKEMON NAMES THAT BEGIN WITH X

 

[Hunter-Z]

Xatu says hi.

I read in a magazine that it was Rhyhorn created first. Notice #111?

 

[chorusco]

Have You Noticed That Pokemon Fans Know More Than The American Producers Of It. They Thought Seviper Evolved Into Arbok

 

[Missingno. Master]

A repel wont always work

It always works if the first Pokemon in your party is at a higher level than the wild Pokemon. Any wild Pokemon whose level is higher or equal to your lead Pokemon will penetrate the Repel.

Snorlax can learn Explosion. No it can't.

The Porygon line is the only line to have all 3 pokemon in different gens. Incorrect. Elekid/Electabuzz/Electivire? Magby/Magmar/Magmortar?

some more;

Speaking of Repel, in RBY, yu could use a repel even if one was still in effect. They've changed this since (haven't tried it in GSC).

Aipom is the only Pokemon to learn Double Hit by level up that doesn't have any double features to use it with (Doduo, Girafarig, and Weezing have 2 heads, Mamoswine has two large tusks, Scyther has 2 scythes, Scizor has 2 claws, Ambipom has 2 tails, and Kangaskahn has itself and its baby).

Wailord is the biggest Pokemon, but by no means the heaviest.

Normal wild Pokemon battle music plays when Cresselia is encountered. Mesprit, on the other hand, sports the legendary trio battle music.

Roserade learns Weather Ball.

Dunsparce and Qwilfish are among the most ignored/easily forgotten Pokemon.

Qwilfish is commonly misspelled.

Persian's shiny form bears little visual difference from its normal form.

'M has a slightly more sinister version of Zapdos's cry.

Skarmory and Steelix's D/P sprites are almost exactly like their R/S/E/FR/LG sprites.

Missingno. could clone key items. normally a bad thing, but this includes the fossils. Over a hundred Aerodactyl/Omanyte/Kabuto!

Fossils are no longer key items. They can be held by Pokemon and even traded! They sell for about 500 pokedollars.

Kingdra is the ONLY fully evolved, non legendary Dragon type that doesn't have a x4 Ice weakness. Or ANY Ice weakness, for that matter.

There is no fully evolved pure Dragon type.

Only 4 pure dragon types exist; Dratini, Dragonair, Bagon, and Shelgon. Not counting Arceus w/ Draco Plate, of course.

The anime got it wrong in Ash's battle w/ Sabrina thing. In RBY, Ghost attacks did NOT affect Psychic Pokemon, and all 1st gen ghosts were part poison, making them WEAK to Psychic.

 

[Raikou77]

Snorlax can learn Selfdestruct.

 

[Nightmare the Scyther]

The only normal type Pokemon to learn Explosion is Lickilicky, and only by TM in D/P. Therefore, Lickilicky is the only Pokemon to get STAB from Explosion.

 

[xSabre]

Groudon is the only Pokemon to weigh over a ton. Snorlax does too.

Piplup is the first non-reptilian water-type starter. Mudkip.

All the grass-type starters are based off of reptiles. Bulbasaur is a frog. An aphibian, not a reptile.

In R/B, Charizard couldn't learn Fly. Neither could Dragonite.

Some of those were wrong.

 

[DS lite man]

Some of those were wrong.

acctually snorlax donsn't weigh over a impereal ton and bulbasaur is based on a dinosaur.

trump card is learned by 4 very random pokemon, slowking,minum,eevee and dunsparce by breeding

 

[Shadow_ninjask]

Torchic and its evoulutions are the only fire-type starters not to have a flame ANYWHERE on their body.

And here's something I found at the COD (Cave of Dragonflies):

Nidoqueen and Nidorina can't breed,but NidoranF can...makes you wonder,doesn't it?

 

[Metal Force]

The Regis were based on time periods Regice being the Ice Age Regirock being the Stone Age and Registeel being the Iron Age

Deoxys's forms spell out DNA

D efence
N ormal
A ttack
Diamond's Dex entry says Arceus created the world with his 10,000 arms

Never relized that before, interesting.

 

[Wild Cherry]

A repel wont always work

Thats only if the Pokemon is a higher level than your own.

Poliwags belly skin is translucent, so the swirl is its intestines

 

[shooting star]

This thread is ver similar to the good, interesting and well-organized thread known as "Did you know", may it rest in peace.

Would you please mind checking what's been said before posting facts? There are a LOT of facts that gets said like 6-7 times.

 

[tyranitar.armaldo]

All the grass starters are dinosaurs, or at least part dinosaur.
Venasaur=Has saur in its name and resembles a Minmi (look on google).
Meganium=Brachiosaurus
Sceptile=Part volociraptor
Torterra=Part anklyosaur

Also..

There has been no stegosaur pokemon.

Poison only is super effective to grass, what a waste of type.

Linoone and Zigzagoon learn belly drum, but cannot reach their belly.

The only pokemon to learn barrage is Exeggcute and Exeggutor.

Some pretty slow pokemon learn extreemespeed, lucario andtogekiss are certainly not the fastest pokemon are they.

Ferret learns hyper voice. How?

Remoraid is the only non-inanimate object pokemon to learn lock-on.

Mud-sport is almost completly pointless because most of the pokemon that learn it are ground types.

 

[Arbok]

Torchic and its evoulutions are the only fire-type starters not to have a flame ANYWHERE on their body.

So does Camerupt, no? And Torkoal?

 

[Metal Force]

So does Camerupt, no? And Torkoal?

He/she said starters.

Some pretty slow pokemon learn extreemespeed, lucario andtogekiss are certainly not the fastest pokemon are they.

Lucario IS fast, haven't you seen the film ? also Togekiss maybe because it can fly at jet plane speed.

 

[Hejiru]

There has been no stegosaur pokemon.

grotle says hi

 

[shooting star]

grotle says hi

Seriously!? Is THAT a stegosaur!?

 

[Arbok]

He/she said starters.


Lucario IS fast, haven't you seen the film ? also Togekiss maybe because it can fly at jet plane speed.

Eergh, you're right. Was reading it too quick.

And about Lucario & Togekiss, the pokédex information is almost always wrong...

And when they're both that fast why isn't their speed a bit higher then?
