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

I thought thay Sinnoh's North-Eastern Isle was based on Scandinavia.

 

[bioteddy]

You could be right on that one. Either way, it isn't japan, so the stuff there is still foreign.

 

[uber9001]

Jubilife City is based on Sapporo, and is in the same spot as Sapporo is on the island above Japan.

A Ruby is just a rare red Sapphire, so pokemon Ruby and Sapphire are more similiar then most originally thought.

Just like how Emerald is similiar to a Diamond?

The battle zone in Sinnoh is technically based on an island in Russia. This, if the correlation holds true, would mean a few things; Diglett's cave is still the only area which is based on japan to host wild Diglett, the player actually can cross the border out of the "Pokemon Nation" as some call it, and Heatran is actually foreign to said nation. That's all I could think of, but I'm sure there are a lot more things that one could logically derive from that bit of information...

Actually, the Battle Area is based on the southern part of the Russian island named Sakhalin. It is shown here on this real world map:

And how do people know these random blurbs of facts? do they like study random factology or somethign? *confused* lol.

 

[CroagunkGuy]

Every spinda (mostly) has a different, unique spot pattern.

Most of these facts probably come from Bulbapedia. The ones that put them there are most likely really observant.

Captain Didn't-Read-The-Page-Before-This strikes again...

To clear this up: there are 4294967295 different possible Spinda spot configurations, with the full personality value calculating the co-ordinates of two facial spots and two spots on the ears. It's a cool gimmick, but it's sadly wasted on a Pokemon that is only twice Sunkern's stats.

A Pokemon captured with the pokerus in RSE will keep the virus indefinitely when traded to FrLg, as there is no flow of time present.

I don't know if this was already given but

Electric-type has the least weakness defensively, being only the Ground-type.
Grass-type has the most. (this one is pretty obvious tho)

 

[Magiclapras]

Not a Pokemon fact, but something I find interesting.

The timeline between the original Donkey Kong game and the first Donkey Kong Country game is slightly wrong. In DKC, Cranky says he's the original DK. There are about 8 years separating both games. If that were the case, and you took the DK Jr. games out of the picture, Cranky wouldn't be that old, DK would be a little younger, and Diddy wouldn't have even been born yet.

Forgive me for that. If there's another thread for this, link me to it.

Electric AND Normal.

Grass AND Rock.

This wasn't already given in recent memory due to its obviousness, and of course you didn't mention Rock.

 

[LudicoloGuy]

Shellos and Gastrodon were originally meant to be used in RSE.

Clefairy was originally going to be the main character of the series, not Pikachu.

 

[Indragon]

Do you have proof for the Shellos thing?

 

[AbsolKnight66]

Zangoose and Seviper can breed with each other, even though they fight for many generations...

Due to the personality value a spinda can have 4,294,967,296 different forms.

A Pokemon captured with the pokerus in RSE will keep the virus indefinitely when traded to FrLg, as there is no flow of time present.

Also happens with Colo/XD

However, the idea was scrapped and was used in D/P instead.

The snake vs. mongoose thing also happens in the real life. The reason for them being able to breed is because they're in the same egg group.

K, thanks for that!

 

[asperger1981]

Nidoran♀ can breed but Nidorina and Nidoqueen cant. thats pretty weird.

I agree with that.

why do you think nintendo did that?

If it where a real life form, I would classify it as a genetic failure, and you?
