Yes We Can!
If you add up the ORIGINAL weight of Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise you get 510; the number of effort points a pokemon can gain.

Why is Arcanine ledgendary? :(
It is thought that Arcanine was supposed to be in place of Moltres even Ho-oh. It isn't really a legendary Pokemon that's just its species.

That Photography Guy
Alakazam has now 2 spoons cause he's hungry but what a retard he is, instead of a fork he uses another spoon.

Hey! Alakazam has an IQ of of 5,000,000,000,000,000,000.75 - thick twice before insulting.

erm, its 5000 only.

Hey, the spoons contains 2,500 IQ points each-thats why Alakazam has 5,000. If he doesnt have the spoon then he does have no IQ; the spoons are its brains.

Somehow, Alakazam never drops the spoon although he drops a piece of paper.

A retarded fish turns into an even more retarded dragon.

Water Castform looks like a UFO.

Drapion has Base 95 in Speed while Dragonite has 80.

Gardevoir looks like a newly wed girl.

Graveler looks like a R0CK3R in D/P because its hands are like doing a \m/ sign.

That's Deoxyribonucleic Acid.

The only Ground type moves Torterra learns are Earthquake, Mudslap, Earth Power, and Sand Tomb (and it's considered a Ground type!).
Skuntank's cry is supposed to resemble the sound of passing gas.
Shuckle is the Mold Pokemon despite the fact that it is a turtle.
Also, Shuckle should be Rock/Grass since molds are fungi.
Machop has a tail, but it loses it when it evolves.
Brock's last name is Harrison.
Pinsir was originally supposed to be the pre-evolution of Heracross.
If Ash's Bulbasaur evolved Ash would have the 3 Pokemon on the Pokemon Trainer's team (in Brawl).

No, it's a turtle, but it's classified as the mold Pokemon.
Shuckle also couldn't learn any Bug moves 'til Platinum.

I just noticed Leech Life was the only Bug-type move that gave damage in RBY.

Source.

Also fungi are not plants, they have their own kingdom ffs.
Oh, the source was Bulbapedia.
Yes, but Shroomish and Breloom are Grass type mushrooms.

Hippopotas can learn Water Pulse.

Murkrow is the only Flying type Pokemon capable of learning both Heat Wave and Icy Wind from the Platinum tutor.

Itsa me, Probio!
I just noticed Leech Life was the only Bug-type move that gave damage in RBY.

And was still around the 3rd best Bug move until DPP, when X-Scissor and Bug Buzz were introduced.

EDIT: And on the subject of Move tutors, all of Fearow's Platinum Move Tutor Moves are Special. Making them useless for it.
