Stupid, Funny, Interesting, Weird, Uncommon and Unobvious Pokemon Facts

Oddly, Hoppip is heavier than Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit, yet the latter three cannot float (aerodynamically speaking)

Voltorb is a little bigger than a Pokeball. Electrode is more than three times Voltorbs size and in the games can be mistaken as a Pokeball. Strange huh?

@Mini Bob: Hahaha that's cool... What other things have you rationalized???

Mew was discovered on my birthday!
The explorer's diary in Cinnabar says it was discovered on July 5th!

On the Moves screen, if you look closely at the button beside the Psychic type, you will notice that the word Psychic is misspelled.

 

[aclover]

what ther little pink icon? its misspelled like that cuz it wont fit all the letters properly. so basicly its abbreviated.

 

[GoombaGeek]

Platinum probably should have been Crystal's name and vice versa.

@ Everybody who doesn't know what nonbaryonic matter is: it's what physicists call dark matter. Just to keep the public confused mind you.

Bit ironic, as Hoppip's pokedex says that it can "fly" away by the least guts of winds....

Also, Drifblim weighs 33.1 pounds but has enough lifting power to carry off an adult human... I can only assume that the reason for its bouyancy is that it contains a vacuum.

It's more of a question how they move around;

Walking: Poliwrath, Politoad, Ludicolo.
Crawl: Milotic(?), Gyarados
Hop: Magikarp, Feebas
Float: Wailord,

Lickitung couldn't learn lick in the 1st Generation

Togekiss can learn punching moves, and Poliwag learns doubleslap, and Ghastly learns the elemental punches.

Constrict has 10 less PP than Covet, despite it being 4 times weaker.

Gyarados is Flying type, but it doesn't naturally learn any Flying type moves, and it's first Flying type move couldn't be learned until 4th Gen. (bounce).

Dragonite didn't get any STAB in the 1st Gen, since the only Dragon type move was Dragon Rage. Lance's Dragonite knew Reflect in RBY, even though it doesn't learn it.

Prof. Oak gives you Pokeballs in RBY; really.

In Red, Koffing's face is upside down.

Smeargle can't sketch Chatter.

Thats all from me.

Dusknoir:
As a Duskull, it had no legs. It gained some as a Dusclops, but loses them as a Dusknoir. The opposite happens for its arms. Duskull has arms, loses them as Dusclops, and gains them back as Dusknoir.

 

[No. 1 Machop Fan]

Togekiss can learn punching moves, and Poliwag learns doubleslap, and Ghastly learns the elemental punches.

I understand what you're saying here, but there's nothing strange with Poliwag learning Doubleslap despite having no arms. In the Animé, Misty's Poliwag used Doubleslap with its tail.

Counting 3rd gen mainline games, 4th gen mainline games, & the Pokewalker (though I'd have to double check for "exclusivity"), you can get all but 22 TMs infinitely, be it from the Dept. Stores, Game Corners, The Battle Frontier, Pick Up, or the Walker's itemfinder.

The one's you can only get once per game are:
TM 03 – Water Pulse
TM 09 – Bullet Seed
TM 19 – Giga Drain
TM 34 – Shock Wave
TM 39 – Rock Tomb
TM 46 – Thief
TM 47 – Steel Wing
TM 48 – Skill Swap
TM 49 – Snatch
TM 50 – Overheat
TM 51 – Roost
TM 63 – Embargo
TM 66 – Payback
TM 67 – Recycle
TM 69 – Rock Polish
TM 77 – Psych Up
TM 80 – Rock Slide
TM 82 – Sleep Talk
TM 84 – Poison Jab
TM 85 – Dream Eater
TM 88 – Pluck
TM 92 – Trick Room

I didn't count PBR's TMs (which would lower the total down to 17) due to the fact that you can only, once bought, transfer it over to a certain savefile once.

Dusclops has arms, Duskull doesn't.

 

[razor fire]

Dusclops has arms, Duskull doesn't.

Arms. Dusclops has hands, not arms. Duskull has arms. This can also be seen in the 3D games.
