As for the PokeBall thing...I remember reading a theory that said the capturing ability of a PokeBall depends on the cuteness of what it is capturing.
But what about Dasutodasu? Its far from cute. Its less cute than a plane. Even a plane can be cute, like the mascot of this obscure airline whose name escapes me.

For those of you who dont know, the new fighting legendaries are based off the three musketeers:
Cobalon - Athos
Terakion - Porthos
Virizion - Aramis
Keldeo - d'Artagnan

POKEBALL, GO!!!!
*PokeBall BONK!s off the boat* :cer_laugh:

New strange fact learned: Drawing cute faces on stuff does makes them catchable in PokeBalls! Who knew?

*gasp* You're telling me you wouldn't want to hug this epic piece of uber-cuteness?! :cer_disbelief: Come on!



I mean, really, this can't even compare to the cuteness of Dasutodasu!

Spoiler:


And now I've learned that with the right inspiration, even Ken Sugimori and his Pokemon designers can make something as appalling/repulsive as trash "cute".

Also, more on-topic, the Weather Trio (Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza) incorporate both the primary colors of light (red-blue-green; skin color & respective orbs) and the primary colors of paint (red-blue-yellow; the Gen I English Pokemon games; markings) in their designs!

Spoiler:


Why is Rayquaza's artwork so puny?! :t384: :cer_pissed:

If you look REALLY deep enough, you can find a cute face in that pile of trash. (not Dasutodasu.) also, there are SEAGULLZ!

[ontopic]Shibishirasu is the only Gen V pokemon that cannot learn any TMs.[/ontopic]

another one: In the 4th gen, you can only see sunny cherrim's entry animation by: sending in a Cherrim against a wild Ditto, using sunny day, then throwing a pokeball at the ditto, and making sure it escapes. it will play the animation.

On the topic of Dasutodasu, isn't that thing suppose to be a pile of mold, not trash? Just pointing that out...... XD

Mt. Silver and its connecting route, Route 28, are apparently in different regions. you cant fly from route 28 to Mt. Silver, even though you can just take a few steps, and be right there.

I love this thread.

In Pokemon Yellow you could find wild Pidgeotto at level 9 in Viridian Forest. It's obviously a reference to the anime and it may explain where Falkner got his low-leveled Pidgeotto.

Did you know that catching Reshiram/Zekrom is important to the storyline of Black/White?
Did you know that Arceus is the God of Pokemon, though it can still be defeated?
Did you know that a LV1 Kangaskan with the right moves and the right item can beat any Pokemon?
Third time's the charm, right~?

In the same vain, Youngster Joey's rattata that's like, in the top percentage of rattata, actually boasts an adamant nature and an IV spread of all 27+ all around. :D
I just checked the article and talk page of Youngster Joey's Bulbapedia article... Apparently, there are conflicting sources...some say it has a Gentle nature with all-zero IVs, and some are saying it has 30-31 IVs... I'm so confused! :cer_confused:

in the anime, Brock's goal is to become the best pokemon breeder, but in all the 600+ episodes he has been in, he has not produced one single egg.

Just thought i'd post something non-game related.

Maybe he meant a pokemon-related breeder, and that's why he's always trying to hit on women in the show? XD

But he's still failed at that....

Some more random facts:

According to the Mystery Dungeon Series, the hat-like object on Cacturne's head is indeed, a hat.


Grottle shares its cry with Dustox, the only pre-generation IV cry used on Generation IV Pokémon.

It is stated that Doduo and Magikarp mutated from creatures prior to them, yet neither of the creatures are listed as known Pokémon in the Pokédex, despite the fact that fossil Pokémon which are assumed extinct are listed. This is also true for Genosect, who was modified form an existing fossil Poké
mon, yet its pre-modified form is not listed in the Pokedex either.

I know Pokémon can breed between different species, but if Brock's producing an egg, there's something to worry about.

the only way to get a 50% critical hit chance is by having a pokemon with Super Luck (like Absol), using a move with an increased critical hit chance (like Night Slash) and that pokemon having an critical hit ratio boosting item (like Scope Lens).

Dire Hit won't add anything, as this is already the limit.

Off Topic: About the picture I posted earlier: It's from the Pokémon RS pre-alpha. It's real. I can't draw anything.

On Topic: Did you know that Kurusu and Honoguma (two unused Pokémon) were going to be the the Johto starters instead of Totodile and Cyndaquil?

In the first generation, Charmander's back is depicted as having a small line of spikes.

The spikes were not shown in the sprites of later generations.

Charmander also had these spikes in the Pokémon Adventures manga, the spikes were larger and easier to see. The spikes were also seen on Kai Midorikawa's Charmander from the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga. This spike can also be seen on the Green Charmander sprite.

(You have to look pretty hard, but they're there)
