Things you never noticed in Pokemon.

[CrimsonBlaze]

I've been watching wifi battles for a while and I kept hearing about EV training and I had no idea what that was about. I kept thinking that it had something to do with vitamins you give to Pokemon, but there was only so many that you could give to a Pokemon before you could no longer use it on them.

A simple google search cleared that up.

The Goldenrod City gym layout forms a Clefairy.

Spoiler

Here's a good one from the Pokemon Trading Card game video game.

If you played the GBC Trading Card game, you probably met up with this dude, Imakuni:

You know who this guy is? He's the dude who sings the Japanese version of the old gen 1 Pokerap. Seriously:

What...the fuck... did I jsut watch?

 

[EHKOS]

- Mew was said to GIVE BIRTH to Mewtwo in R/B/Y, however it isn't clear if it's actually true

Mew gave birth in the way that it gave it's DNA to create. Not actually physically.


Also, damn, I forgot about Clitster...I mean Cloyster....>.>

I first saw the movie when I was younger and it completely went over my head.

Now, I find this hilarious.

Frying pan as a drying pan... is it supoosed to be funny? :s

Unintentional comedy I guess.

So completely unfunny it's funny?

Tough crowd.

More like phrase is so stupid and random that I found myself cracking up to it.

 

[Lunatic High]

How I was essentially capturing rare and wild animals and making them fight for me. When in reality I'd probly just spray the charmanders tail with a hose. I win.

 

[Amarok]

What are they?

The Twin Psychic Gym leaders in R/S/E, I never knew that one of them was a dude.

And I thought that white thing on Brendan's head was his hair.

It isn't his hair...? Looks it. Proof?

And yeah, if I never noticed it, how can I report it?

Don't know if it's yet been answered for you. But, in the official Pokémon Manga, Pokémon Special [/o] Ruby (as he is called there) wears that white hat to cover up a massive scar he got when a Salamence sliced his head open as a toddler.

 

[Tarminuus]

The pokedex describes Pokemon by their resemblence to animals (Pikachu is an electric mouse pokemon ect.)

This means real animals exist or have existed at some point in the Pokemon universe.

 

[Dryk]

Here's something that's really weird, and totally canon.
The ghost pokemon Yamask, gen 5, is a pokemon that is the ghost of a human.

"Yamask are known to have once been human, and as such, they retain memories of their former lives. Each Yamask carries a mask depicting the face it once had. Sometimes, it looks at this mask and cries, apparently in longing. Yamask are known to wander the ruins of ancient civilization"

Wut? All of my wut? The implications for this is... unsettling.

This sort of thing isn't new either

"It tugs on the hands of children to steal them away. However, it gets pulled around instead. "

"An abandoned plush doll became this Pokémon. They are said to live in garbage dumps and wander about in search of the children that threw them away."

I will never for the life of me understand why fighting type moves are super effective against steel types. Or why ice type moves arent super effective against water types.

 

[EHKOS]

I will never for the life of me understand why fighting type moves are super effective against steel types. Or why ice type moves arent super effective against water types.

True, I will never understand the first one, but have you ever tried to freeze a large body of water? Takes a while, or if it's big enough, impossible.

 

[spartan231490]

I always thought Rock type attacks were Not Very Effective against Rock type Pokemon.

It's neutral, though, and took me years to learn that.

It still blows my mind that rock type attacks aren't super-effective against electric type pokemon. Also still getting over the fact that electric type attacks aren't super effective against ice types(though at least this one makes sense)

On a tangentially related note, has anyone else noticed that there is no game where you can catch houndoor early? This pisses me off so bad, I want a god damn houndoor as one of my six pokemon for the game, but the only way to do that is through trade, and then it has the stupid won't listen to you thing. Anyone know if you can trade eggs?

That, if Arceus is basically God, then Gitantina - the opposite of Arceus - must, bascically, be the personification of staleness and persistance. And, well Satan. Because Arceus could take on all types, representing change, and benevolence.

This is how cults are started, people.

Also, Pokemon is evil. It promotes young, 10-15 year old kids to leave home, forget their mother, school, family and future, and capture animals in tennis-balls - only to become the world-champion, which has no fucking privelages - just the ability to say, "YO, ***** - I'M THE BEST AT FUCKING WASTING MY LIFE - CHECK THIS SHIT OUT! YOU DO THE SAME!" So, not only does it encourage kids to be a posing bastard, it also encourages kids to tell other kids to do the same.

Oh, the humanity! /sarcasm. But, honestly, that is pretty fucked up.

 

[Cipher1]

The entire economy of the region seems to built around selling potions and pokeballs to 12 year olds.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

Parasect is not in fact, the crab underneath the mushroom.

It is the mushroom mind-controlling the crab.

 

[spartan231490]

Really?

I always thought that when you use the same element on a pokemon, that it's always going to bw not very effective

Normal on Normal. Neutral.
Fighting on Fighting. Neutral.
Ghost on Ghost. Super Effective.
Ground on Ground. Neutral.
Flying on Flying. Neutral.
Bug on Bug. Neutral.
Dragon on Dragon. Super Effective.

The rest, I believe, are Not Very Effective.

You forgot the one that started the comment, rock v rock.

The breeding center in Silver and Gold is on Route 34. I laughed quite a bit when I realized that.

Lol. Never noticed that, but it's so beautiful.

 

[Someone Depressing]

What do they eat if they don't kill pokémon? And why has nobody documented the medical marvel of hundreds of twin sisters in the pokémon universe? Why does Ash say he wants to catch em' all, but the never catches any?

Well, Farfetch's entry says that it's "A very good stew, and are thus endangered". Well, they're shit outside and in battle, and are so atrociously pointless as their stick only works on them, a nice stew is all they're good for, I suppose.

Somebody explain to me what is going on in this picture.

I don't understand.

Somebody explain to me what is going on in this picture.

I don't understand.

Judging by the bust sizes...

Brock beats up some Machamps for snu snu?
