Regarding Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions:
1. Mega Mewtwo X can stretch it's arms & legs when it attacks.
2. Both Megas gained a little bit more animation when they Mega Evolve in ORAS.

get the fuck out of here, and don't come back until you've gotten the last 7.

Also, they make a French Flag

The yellow stripes on Mega Sharpedo are supposed to resemble a crosshair.

from gens 1 to 5 you can spin in place to trigger a random encounter instead of walking.

Braviary is actually based on the Philippine eagle, not the bald eagle.
Rufflet's Japanese name "Washibon" is even partly derived from the local name of the Philippine Eagle "haribon" (hari (king) + ibon (bird)), so yeah, definitely some inspiration from the Philippine Eagle.

I take it you're not a very observant person if you didn't notice this like 1 day into XY's release...

The Members Card was an item that let you acess the Harbor Inn in Canalave City so you could go to New Moon Island in Platinum to catch Darkrai

It's description states that "Oddly, the last date marked on it was 50 years ago"

On the official artwork, in the corner, it is labeled 1958.12.1,
which is exactly 50 years to the day the item was first distributed in, December 1st 2009

Love it!

Sawk and Throh are based on the Blue Oni and Red Oni of Japanese folklore.

>>33286194
1958-2009 is 51 years.

>>33287013
On a related note, Tornadus was originally going to be colored red instead of green, because it and Thundurus are also based on Onis. But it was changed to green because that made them look too similar to Sawk and Throh.

I thought it was derived from "Washington".

Alolan vulpix pokemon sun entries:
"It exhales air colder than -58 degrees Fahrenheit. Elderly people in Alola call this Pokémon by an older name—Keokeo."
Keokeo is the name of a flower that looks like alolan vulpix tail

In ORAS, while mega rayquaza has an animation for dragon ascent, normal rayquaza does not.

The song that the Azure flute plays is a slower rendition of the noise that plays on the radio in the Ruins of Alph.

Spinda's base stats add up to 360.
Because it spins.

I noticed that are some limitations to this while trying to conserve steps in the safari zone. I believe you need to take at lease three steps after an encounter to be able to find another.

>Skuntank's pokedex entries state that it shoots its stink out of the tip of its tail, not from behind.
>The tail is positioned on top of its head
>SkunTANK

The way it fires its attacks like this is meant to mimic how a tank fires, rather than alluding to its size or bulk. This is also why its foreign names make reference to military tanks and why it learns moves like fire blast and flamethrower.

Apart from Mew of course, in Gen I, Golem is the ONLY Pokémon that cannot be seen without trading guaranteed.

>>33291819
they made all ultra beasts plus pew line and necrozma with ONLY prime numbers as base stats.

On the subject of Ultra Beasts,
It's fascinating how deep Gamefreak really went into their whole invasive species influence

>>33287016
This could be because Diamond and Pearl were delayed 1 year after their initial release date

>>33291833
N's battle theme apparently used prime numbers as a motif

>>33287894
Nope. Why would Japan base it off of Washington?
