Has anyone noticed

ZapDOS
MolTRES

1 2 3

And its even weirder
coz thats the order i catch em in
This is going to come out a bit blunt, but this is old news. Sure, there might be some people who haven't noticed, but I'm sure a lot of people already have. :\ Anyway, normally I catch them in the order: Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres. :P Nevermind, a lot of people actually didn't recognise it, so I'm wrong. xD Sorry. :S

I guess it's sort of similar in how the names of the Pokemon Eevee and Ho-oh are both palindromes.
Don't forget Girafarig, which actually makes sense since it's got two heads. :P

The encounters in R/B/Y are more or less set up so you "find" them in order, though Surfing to the Power Plant for some electricity before heading out to Seafoam seems like a better idea.

Regardless, Articuno would probably be the most immediately attractive to someone coming across it with a low-level team, since it starts off with a solid Ice attack instead of weak/inaccurate attacks like Thundershock/Thunder/Fire Spin that you probably have on some of your Pokemon already.
Zapdos is nice, if you haven't used up your Thunderbolt yet. It's also the only one whose Ice weakness isn't covered by the other element.
I do usually catch Moltres last, if at all, 'cuz it has a pretty unfortunate movepool. :P

For some raisin*, playful sarcasim doesn't transfer well to alot of people online. :(

Also, little known fact: The three beasts from Johto are all zombies









*This is intentional for my own amusement
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

to be fair, this news is really old... althoigh my order is Zapdos, Moltres and maybe articuno, but this was back in RB days,itt went to Zapdos, Articuno Moltres when FRLG came out. for some reason, i didnt like articuno at all, but i liked Zapdos the most, even to this day, even though it's probably the worst of them for competitive play (pfft, as if I play competitively)...

Its either real or its a dream, there's nothing that is inbetween, Twiiiiiliiiiiight

Don't mean to sound like a douche, but that was the first thing I noticed when I first saw them... And I was 6 back then.
If your name was Dexter Phillip, would you have a 'Dex to fill up? Hooray for corny puns.

I never noticed that before until my friend pointed it out. That's pretty cool though.

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
saying ei-o, got to let go,
I want to celebrate and live my life,
saying ei-o, baby, let’s go,

 
Because we’re going to rock this club,
We gon’ go all night,
Light it up,
Just like dynamite,

Sigh, there are so many.

Bulbasaur series are all dinosaurs (but Venosaur is the only one with a poison reference, venom)
Charmander series are all Charred.
Squirle and Wartotle are both turtles, and Blastoise is a tortoise
Then- the 6 bugs (Weedle- needle, Metapod- Metal Pod (harden) and Beedrill is so obvious)
Rattata was Ratattak in the beta- Rat Attack
Spearow and Fearow (Sparrow)
Pikachu is a hard one. Pika is a squirrel/rat-type animal and Chu is the god of thunder.
Vulpix is a very hard one. Vulpix is actually a latin word, which is for a red fox (vulpix vulpix)
Dratini - Teeny Dragon
Dragonair - Air Dragon
Dargonite - Dragon Knight

Those are the ones I just randomly thought of that aren't so obvious.
