Venomoth was going to be Metapod's evo

Butterfree was going to be Venonat's evo

Stunfisk was going to be a water type.

Jellicent wasn't going to be a ghost and was added for dex balance purposes, which upset the designer.

Dwebble was originally going to be a fire/bug, based on a kiln.

Hydreigon line originally had a tank theme that was slowly phased out with revisions. The lines on the belly are remnants of this.

More /vp/ related but if you type bui into the name field it autocorrects to Jeremy for some reason.

>>27575504
and if you type Buizel into the name field it won't let you post

>>27575265
is this actually confirmed anywhere?

>>27575455
sources? i've heard the hydreigon tank thing before.

>>27575616
>is this actually confirmed anywhere?
no it's all bullshit

>>27575504
Test.

>>27575111
What a dumb bitch.

>>27575265
Use the old art and the Venonat/Butterfree connection can only be denied by the most hardcore of autists and GameFreak apologists.

>>27575670
>>27575703
Putting bui in the name field used to get you banned.

>>27575111
>Japanese for Extreme Speed is しんそく (Swiftness)
It makes sense to ask something when it's not that obvious in the original source

my ex gf used to pronounce arcanine as R-K9

>>27576234
>ex gf
>ex
You sperged out over that so much she dumped you?

>>27576234
¿erre guión kanueve?

>>27576234
>Arcane + Canine
Checks out. Your girlfriend did nothing wrong.

>>27576234
How the fuck do you think it's pronounced?

>>27576534
He probably thinks its
>AR-kuh-NEE-nay
or something absolutely worthy of the death penalty like that.

>>27576331
whoever wrote this was a fucking awful person
assuming it's real

>>27576331
I remember most of these tips floating around my school, when red and blue were the big thing... Anon do you know where these originated?

>>27576786
idk about most of it, but the Rare Pokemon one with Zubat is definitely real. Just checked the Red and Blue manual.

>>27576534
arca nine

>>27576290
i never told her
she dumped me because we had nothing in common except seething resentment near the end

>>27577092
The other pronunciation makes more sense. Although your pronunciation sounds better

>>27575111
Arceus was named after Liam Pomfret

>Kangaskan is based on Genghis Kahn (actual spelling) was a Mongolian emperor. I did not know this untill I saw histeria when I was flippin through channels.

>>27577772
Fun fact, "Genghis Khan" is actually pronounced https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/GenghisKhan01.ogg
And he wasn't a khan, he was a khagan, a khan of khans.

>>27577772
Did you not have fucking history class or were you just a idiot?

>>27578443
>This one is for Horsea. Horsea is spelled Horse-a and Hor-sea. If you look at the last three letters, it spells sea, if you look at the first five letters, it spells horse. That spells sea horse.

>>27576331
>Watch out for Team Rocket Grunts! They have the ability to steal your pokemon!

imagine if this were true

>>27575111
Ponyta has a higher base stat total than Dugtrio, Parasect and Wobbuffet.

Hariyama and Marill are the only two pokemon in the entire dex that are easier to catch than their pre-evos.

Isn't that how it worked in Gen 1 though?

>>27576860

Pretty sure these are from Prima's Yellow manual.

I remember the Masterball on Fearrow or Tentacruel one like it was yesterday so I know I owned whatever it was from.

>>27579089
It's a gross oversimplification of EV's.

>>27579835
In Gen I DVs were earned by the base stat of each mon and you had a 255 cap in every stat so you could max every stat.

>tfw don't know why these are sideways

>>27579877
Shows me for speaking out my ass.

>>27575455
Never heard about Dwebble before, source?

>>27575265
This is not a fact, check your pokedex

>>27579933
>tfw don't know why these are sideways
you're shooting it with your phone and it's guessing which orientation is right
