What slipped past you?

[SmoG878]

Have you ever played a pokemon game, to realise in about 5-6 years later that you completely missed something?
I just realised that staryu and starmie have 'you' and 'me' sounds at the end of their names.
It's funny when you think back and nostalgia over how you could possibly miss that XD
I also have a habbit of pronouncing names of the towns wrong deliberately to make them sound cooler (but that's just my excuse for reading the title too fast ) I used to call ecruteak city 'eucrutek' as in 'you-kroo-tek'.

So tell me Serebii.net forums, what slipped past you?

I never noticed that the legendary birds had spanish numbers in their names until a few months ago. Artic(UNO), Zap(DOS), and Mol(TRES).

 

[Khamul]

I misread Pacifidlog town as Pacifildog for some reason.
I only realized that around a year ago, when I actually bothered to read the town name.

Ive never gone through burned tower to catch ho-oh in any of the times i played gold and silver

Ha-ha! I'm the same! XD

Also /though this is related to the Anime and not to the games/ I only recently realised that Ash's last name is a pun. Ketchum...catch'em... x3 I just never paid it any mind.

I didn't realise there was a d in Pacifidlog until I beat Rayquaza.

So from my first visit to beating Rayquaza I called it Pacifilog

Kanto has been in every gen. A friend pointed it out to me.

The only thing I can think of is calling Ecruteak City Ecruteck city for so many years.

Well I just learned something new XD

I always called it and thought it said Pacificlog Town, never noticed that D in there before. I'll just remain calling it Pacificlog because it sounds better and makes more sense to me.

I never knew there were regi's. I knew it after I played emerald for a half year.

My friend pointed this out to me a few years back.

 

[Zorkzedork]

I always thought Groudon was Fire/Ground.

I always thought Groudon was Fire/Ground.

Ha i thought tht for the longest time

 

[halloweenghost]

I've been rather aware of things..but the only thing that slipped past me that gives me a d'oh moment is for about a month i though verdanturf town was Vanderturf town

 

[octoboy]

Not the games so much (though I have a habit of mispronouncing pokemon names, then not changing how I pronounce them when corrected), but I didn't understand the origin of Ash's last name for a bit of time. Dang, I thought that was silly when I did.

Finneon slightly confused me. At first, it sounded to me like the name of an eeveelution. Then I noticed that it was meant to be named after a neon tetra. Kecleon, however, I never mistook for an eeveelution's name.

 

[Manetric]

I used to pronounce the names of some Pokemon incorrectly, getting the latter in the wrong order (Lucidolo, Carnahva, Megnaium)

 

[Coreracer15]

i never paid attention to the fact that all of the kanto cites/towns are colors and all the cities/towns in johto are flowers. and i always thought mt. moon was on the moon...lol, such childishness i had

 

[mooguts]

For nearly six years I thought ho-oh was ho-ho.

 

[SmoG878]

For nearly six years I thought ho-oh was ho-ho.

HAH! lol, same here

I also thought that sudowoodo had a prevolution during the GSC era because i heard a rumor. Turns out in a huge coincidence that bonsly came out in the 4th gen!

I always though Lati@s could learn Flamethrower until I tried teaching it to my Latias in Emerald >_>
