"Have you ever forgotten the name of a Pokémon?
Junichi Masuda: We definitely forget a lot of Pokémon names quite a bit. One of the reasons for that is while developing the game we call all the Pokémon by code names. So it would be years where those kind of take hold. We often don't remember the final names of the Pokémon. We definitely remember their code names."

>Crabrawler's codename was just Crab1
I don't know what I expected
I myself don't usually forget a Pokemon, but I can definitely see how even people who make Pokemon games could forget. After all, 800+ individual monsters is quite a lot.

I actually fucking did. Some months ago I've decided to write the Kanto and Johto Dexes on a notepad because I was bored and I told myself "why the fuck not?", and I just couldn't remember Pineco's name, at all. In the end, I've saw Pineco on a ROM Hack some time after and then I was like "PINECO! IT WAS FUCKING PINECO! AAGH!".
Friendly reminder that Stantler exists.
Is Johto the region with the least memorable pokemon?

Johto is just a Kanto addon.

You couldn't be more accurate.
