Pokemon fact thread

[Pokefreak]

Post any real facts about pokemon any that's...surprising or doesn't make sense and makes your mind blow!

Charizard is actually 5' 07" that's smaller than BROCK I think

Compared to the trainer, Wailord is a big-big-big whale. But at the comic, I saw Sapphire riding a Wailord on the Abandoned Ship. Isn't that ship is supposed to wreck??

In Melee they have the 6'7" ewtwo in Brawl it's the 4' Lucario, yet they look the same hieght in comparison to mario. That and Lucario looks up to ash, literally.

The dragonite in the episode with Bill was larger than the lighthouse, but Lance's dragonite in Johto Journeys was only as big as a normal human.

Whiscash rules.

Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.

When Pokemon first came out, not even Nintendo was fully aware it was in Red and Green.

Congrats Solly, you can read Wikipedia

This thread confuses me, facts about a cartoon about something that doesn't exist?

[Eon Spirit]

Pretty much, have fun.

No pokemon can do the shoop-da-whoop. That's depressingly weird.

"Paralyz Heal" doesn't exist. In every game, (Red/Blue-Diamond/Pearl) it's called "Parlyz Heal".

There is no pure flying type.

The Japanese and 4Kids version of the pokemon anime have different background music.

James and Jesse are both 17 years old. (I always thought that they were at least 20...)

Apparently, the maximum amount of points you can receive in Pokemon Snap is 17,378,000. (That, or my game won't le it go any higher. :/)

17? Oh sheesh, I thought they were in their mid-twenties. They should be still at school. Or as a matter of fact, Ash too.

Some anime physics for you:

Very often, when Ash's Pikachu fights a Ground-type Pokémon, it uses an Electric-type move and it works well.

Ash was able to pick up Larvitar despite it weighing more than 150 lbs (70 kg), according to game data.

In Sweet Baby James, Jessie picks up May's Munchlax and puts it in a bag, despite it weighing over 220 lbs (100kg).

May's Squirtle attacked Harley's Banette with Tackle in New Plot, Odd Lot, despite the Ghost-type's immunity to Normal-type attacks.

Ash's Turtwig was hurt by Gardenia's Turtwig's Leech Seed. However, in the games, Grass-type can't be hit by this move.

Very often, when Ash's Pikachu fights a Ground-type Pokémon, it uses an Electric-type move and it works well.

Due to the fact Ash has an extraordinarily powerful Pikachu, hence why Team Rocket's always chasing him. They could chase any trainer- but Ash's Pikachu is all beast and whatnot.

The dragonite in the episode with Bill was larger than the lighthouse, but Lance's dragonite in Johto Journeys was only as big as a normal human.

Gamma radiation. It was green and angry.

True Story-

Red and Blue were the best Pokemon games. The only others that come close are FireRed and LeafGreen, and even then.. meh.

THESE ARE FACTS. NOT OPINIONS.
Deal.
