Back when Tigers used to smoke.
This is a thread to state and discuss interesting low-key obscure facts that even to an extant, some hardcore Pokemon fans have never heard of.
I'll go first. The Pokemon Adventures manga is not only one of the best faithful adaptations of the Pokemon games but it also does a pretty good job of explaining certain oddities that the game never explains at all. For one certain case is how Pikachu can simply surf and fly anywhere, any location, any time in the games. In the manga, Pikachu can learn the substitution ninjutsu, or what you Pokemon fans may recognize as the move substitute. Through the move substitute, Pikachu is able to create any decoy object molded from his body at the cost of his health. This decoy object can range from a mobile clone to the classic plushie substitute doll to even a surfboard and a bunch of balloons allowing Pikachu easy access to surf and fly anywhere and anytime.
