I think it's just a newbie trying to post random things to increase postcount. Which won't work here.

Finally, Kanghaskan's name is based off of Genghis Khan, an old emperor.

and ironically enough, despite Gengis Khan being male, Kangaskhan itself can only be female.

pokemon Colosseum/XD gale of darkness are currently the only console battling games to have no announcers whatsoever

I didn't understand that either.


The animation and colour are different in BW and B2W2. For some reason, I can't put the new animation in my post.

[DominickTheGamer]

Any evidence?

YEAH in the game it says fire and he is red with a flame tale and ALL POKEMON ARE CONTROLLEd BY MUDKIPZ

[pikadon92]

Hitmontop does not have any matching naming schemes as hitmonlee and hitmonchan in ALL the languages!

[Mattykins]

Metagross weighs about 1212 pounds

That, of course, is two twelves.

12 x 12 = 144

144 is... a gross :3

Probably just a fun coincidence. o:

someone has probably posted this but blazikan and latias were originally 1 pokemon

...or maybe it is intended

I kinda doubt they just randomly picked 1212 for its weight.








Anyway, despite having flame (which is intangible) for their tail, both Ponyta and Rapidash are capable of learning the move Iron Tail.

This is just as weird as Alakazam and Primeape being able to learn the move, since having something intangible for your tail makes it just as impossible as having no tail.

magneton is made by three magnemite and weighs 10 times more. magnemite weighs 13.0 pounds, magneton weighs 132 pounds.and
all five professors are named after trees. Oak, Elm, Birch, Rowan, and Juniper

[amittal12]

-Mamoswine and its evolutionary line are the only Pokemon family which have a typing which allows them not to take any damage from weather(Ice/Ground).The other possible combinations Ice/Steel and Ice/Rock have not materialized.Though other Pokemon with Overcoat also don't take any damage,it is due to their ability.

-They are also the only Pokemon to take Super Effective damage from the Primary STAB of all the starters.

-Swinub,Piloswine,Mamoswine,Vibrava,Flygon,Gible,Ga bite and Garchomp can cause Super Effective damage to every Pseudo Legendary with just their STAB attacks(Ice/Dragon attacks take care of Dragonite,Salamence,Garchomp and Hydreigon while Ground attacks take care of Tyranitar and Metagross).

[Arceus_17]

Here's something interesting that supports the theory that Kangaskhan was originally supposed to be (or to have...) an evolution.

The fact is, iff you perform the "TM 55 Glitch" in Pokemon Yellow, you can actually see a Kangaskhan trying to evolve...

And also a funny thing - though I think this is pretty random - when you finish that glitch, a Kangaskhan's spirte appears in Lavender Town, replacing some girl, asking you if you believe in ghosts...

fire starters are based on the chinaese Zodiac:
Charmander: dragon
Cydaqual: Rat
Torchic: Rooster
Chimchar: monkey
tepig:Pig/boar

Water starters are based on semi-acqatic animals

[DominickTheGamer]

Wobbuffet is the only fully evolved Pokemon that can't learn any TMs

Illumise is the only Pokemon in Generation 3 whose name starts with the letter I

[Nyarlathotep]

fire starters are based on the chinaese Zodiac:
Charmander: dragon
Cydaqual: Rat
Torchic: Rooster
Chimchar: monkey
tepig:Pig/boar

Water starters are based on semi-acqatic animals

That is a very interesting fact, though Cyndaquil isn't a rat, but a echidna.
Judging by it, the next Fire-Type starter will be:

- A sheep? That would be cool.
- A horse? Meh, Ponyta again?
- A rabbit? It would be cool too.
- A tiger? Hm... no. :c
- An ox? Now that would be interesting.
- A snake? We already have Charmander as a reptile-like Fire starter.
- A dog? Houndoom 2.0?

Talking about starters, all Grass-Type ones are based on reptile animals.

Bulbasaur = dinosaur.
Chikorita = dinosaur too.
Treecko = lizard.
Turtwig = tortoise.
Snivy = snake.

Idk if this is really that funny but i find it funny...that eevees have E.V.s lmao

[Ash&Pikachu-Fan]

I have one, its kind of obvious but Pikachu's the very first electric type Pokemon in the Kanto and National Pokedex! I'm not sure about the others regions.

[Azran Flame]

Anyway, despite having flame (which is intangible) for their tail, both Ponyta and Rapidash are capable of learning the move Iron Tail.

This is just as weird as Alakazam and Primeape being able to learn the move, since having something intangible for your tail makes it just as impossible as having no tail.

Not to mention, iron would probably melt in a fire like that (assuming that the temperature is high enough), or at least not be very effective at all.

[Psychic Politoed]

I checked and Golduck and Golbat (both names starting with Gol) are tied along with their pre-evolved forms for having the most Pokedex entries, with Pokemon Black and White being the only Pokemon games with new Pokedex entries that did not give them new entries due to only introducing Unova Pokemon entries.

[Trainer10913]

These have probably been said but...

Hitmonlee is based of Bruce Lee

and Hitmonchan is based off Jackie Chan.

The names of cities and towns in Unova come from different types of cloud or cloud phenomena. Landorus, Thunderus and Tornadus all ride on clouds.
