I didn't know that...

Did you know that Emolga's name changed from Emonga to Emolga in non-Japanese versions because Emonga would be considered offensive to Down's Syndrome sufferers? I found that out on TV Tropes.

何贤豪 March 22nd, 2012 7:12 AM

I have no idea.

DYK Scrafty is the last Pokemon in alphabetical order (Japanese)?

Adam Levine March 22nd, 2012 10:27 PM

Yes, I certainly did.
DYK Palkia in MD 2 was the only Pokemon to learn all IQ?

何贤豪 March 23rd, 2012 1:11 AM

Did you know that if Sableye and Spiritomb got Shedinjas ability, they become invincible?

Not exactly. They can still be hit by Fire Fang.

Hikamaru April 6th, 2012 9:29 PM

Did you know that Gothitelle and its pre-evolutions are the only Psychic-types to have Frisk as an ability?

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/da/576Gothitelle_BW_anime.png

They are also the only Pokemon with Frisk that have it as their only natural ability.

Adam Levine April 11th, 2012 2:24 AM

...No.
Did you know Grotle's nuts were the only food products of Pokemon that tasted bad to humans?

Hikamaru May 7th, 2012 1:06 AM

Did you know that in the anime, it took 21 episodes for Ash's Pidove to evolve into Tranquill?

21 is the level Pidove evolves at in the games coincidentally.

Hikamaru May 9th, 2012 2:32 PM

Yeah.

Did you know that even though Shiny sprites exist, there is currently no possible way to get a Shiny Zekrom or Reshiram without hacking?

Golurks Were Meant to Fly May 9th, 2012 2:50 PM

I knew that, which is why it's always funny when you see people claiming they SR'd for a shiny Zekrom/Reshiram/Victini.
