Your most interesting facts about Pokémon.
« on: June 24, 2010, 05:53:20 AM »
Here's my few:

Wooper can learn Ice Punch, but has no arms.

Mr.Mime can be a female (It has Mister in it's name)

Ryhorn and Charizard have the same cry.

Here are a few of the ones I've noticed over time:

- If you get 4 stars on your trainer card in Gen IV, then the nurse at the Pokemon Center will start to refer to you by name.
- Water is the single most used type in the game, with 92 different Pokemon being water.
- Water has been paired with every time but two: ghost and fire.
- In Gen III, all fire type moves were Beauty Contest moves.
- Every Fire-type starter family has at least one member whose name begins with a C.
- All the grass type gym leaders have been female so far.
- Grass has been paired with every type that is super effective against it.

Wait... there is Lotad (and evos), Seedot (and evos), Lileep (and evo), Torterra, Celebi and Breloom.

They are water, dark, rock, ground, psychic and fighting which have been paired with grass type...


And to add to the list, Normal type has the least pairing: with water (Bibarel), Flying (many like these) and Psychic (Girafarig)

A combination of Normal/Ghost would be nice, immune to ghost, the only super effective move is dark.
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

That would be cool in a way, but that would make it a really strong type to have, you wouldnt really have that much of a weakness.

Yes, only Dark as I said, but then, Spiritomb and Sableye don't have weaknesses at all! (except if you use a fighting move after using Odor Sleuth or Foresight, which then takes 2 turns)

Or use kangaskhan, his ability 'scrappy' allows him to hit ghost types :D

Oh, but then, there's Miltank too.

In fact.. it's only now that I notice this ability. I guess I forgot it after it was introduced... and since no gen IV pokemon had it, I didn't see it much... or not at all

All pseudo-legendaries except for metagross have a double weakness to a single type.
You are never able to catch every pokemon from a single generation, with only a single game pack.
No 3D pokemon game has ever taken place in a region that has been played in a 2d game.
There has been at least one psychic legendary pokemon and one flying legendary pokemon in every main game.
Mew is the only non-gendered pokemon who can learn attract; AND it effects other pokemon that do not have a gender.
Every main game since crystal has had a battle tower.

I have a lot of these.
The thrill in playing a game does not come from our chances of winning. It is the weight and pressure of losing that fuels our fascination. It is why people challenge, why they gamble and why they compete. The adrenaline that comes from defying defeat is what motivates us.

Shuckle can deal the most damage ever. Although the circumstances would be nearly impossible, using Rollout, a level 100 Shuckle can potentially deal the most damage in one single attack through the use of numerous stat boosters, by using Helping Hand, Metronome held item, Power Trick, a Skill Swap to Pure Power or Huge Power, and the Defense Curl/Rollout combo. Also, Shuckle's partner must have the ability Flower Gift and the weather must be sunny. On the 5th impact of Rollout, if used against a level 1 Ledyba or Yanma that have been hit with negative Defense modifiers (such as Screech), it can deal 213,896,052 damage with a critical hit.
I like slowpoke.

Now that's interesting! Thanks for sharing! ;D

Not that I'll not use Shuckle... too many conditions XD
