• Rhydon was the first Pokemon ever created. ...
• Pikachu's name is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and squeaking. ...
• Drowzee is based off of a tapir. ...
• Azurill is the only Pokemon that can change gender. ...
• Psychic type Pokemon are weak to bug, ghost, and dark type because they're common fears.
• Slowbro is the evolution of Slowpoke with Shellder on his tail but if Slowpro somehow loses Shellder, he’ll devolve back to Slowpoke. Of all the Pokemon, he’s the only one that devolves.
• Honestly, sometimes, Pokemon mythology can take a dark turn and the story behind Cubone is certainly dark. As a ground type Pokemon, Cubone’s face has never been seen because it wears a skull on its head. Is the skull a trophy of its murdered victims? No, it’s the skull of its mother and Cubone is said to make an awful howl when it sees the full moon as it reminds him of his dead mother.
• Obviously, many Pokemon are based on various real-world animals. But you may not have noticed that Poliwag is based on the tadpole. The swirl on its belly is the tadpole’s intestines.
• So, remember when we said Pokemon could get kinda dark? This is one of those times. As a shadow type Pokemon, Yamask is a Pokemon carrying a mask of its time as a human long ago. Since it was once a human, it also has memories of being a human and if you put on its mask, you’ll become possessed by it. Sometimes it’ll look at its own mask and cry as it wanders ancient civilizations.
• Originally, the developers planned to have Arcanine be a legendary Pokemon. They showed their hand a little bit in the Pokemon cartoon episode “Pokemon Emergency!”. However, in the game, Arcanine was never a legendary Pokemon, making many believe the developers backed away from this idea.
• Pikachu and Meowth are exact opposites in almost every way. Pikachu looks like a mouse while Meowth looks like a cat. They’re both mortal enemies in the Pokemon cartoon. Also, Pikachu is #25 in the Pokedex while Meowth is #52.
