    Okay I only noticed yesterday that the Dragon in B/W (deino zweilous and hydreigon has the German 1,2,3 in it. I felt like gobsmacked for not having realised it earlier as I am german (I have got the English version).Since it is the English version I never expected anything like this and never realised it and always pronounced them in an English way.

    I did however saw that Klink and Klingklang is German am not sure whether these onomatopoeia are also used in English though.
     
    I never realized that Mudkip was an Internet meme when I started playing the Pokemon games, but I learned about that after actually surfing the Internet.
     
    I didn't learn this on my own, but it was pointed out in an Emerald LP that if you press start in a double battle, it displays your Pokemon's HP in numbers rather than the bar. The more you know!

    *puff* Head explodes. Never knew that, thanks. ^^
     
    As sad as it is, I just noticed last year that Atricuno, Zapdos, and Moltres had Spanish numbers in their names.
    .___.
    I felt played.
     
    That Hoothoot has one leg.
    Even later that it actually has two but stands on one at a time.

    Also that in G/S/C the sprite used for tall grass is different in Kanto and in Jōto. I might've noticed that myself at the time but don't recall.

    I didnt know that aswell neither did I about the numbers in articuno etc. :O
     
    I've played pokemon for years but just recently realized that rock deals regular damage against rock. I never noticed cus usually rock type pokemon have a dual type.
     
    I don't know if this counts but I always used to think Suicune was water/ice until I was looking in a list for water types for building a team and saw that he was just a water monotype. And I never knew that you could use cut in high grass to make it short, until I accidentaly used it in tall grass once, but this was a long while ago haha, figured this out way back.
     
    I used to think water wasn't very effective on ice for ages but it turns out that just a lot of ice types were part water. I also used to think water was super effective on steel after not knowing steelix was part ground for a fair amount of time.

    I thought the same thing for a while. It makes sense, too, with rust and all.
