Weird Pokemon Things

[Heald]

Here's a thread for all those weird things in Pokemon that you think are relatively unknown.

Anyway, here is something weird:

[RedStarWarrior]

I don't get it.

[Kyuuketsuki]

It's the Butterfly/Venemoth Conspiracy.

It simply implies that the coders mixed up Caterpie's and Venonat's Evolutions, and that Butterfree if actually Venonat's Evolution, same goes for Caterpie and Venemoth.

[Heald]

There's a theory that Butterfree and Venomoth's sprites were swapped around, for whatever reason. When you look at the similarities between them and the other one's pre-evolutions, it is pretty strong, although unconfirmed and many people are sceptical.

[Blademaster]

Magcargo has a body temperature of 18,000 degrees.

A single Magcargo could end all life on the planet generating that type of heat. That's almost twice the intensity of the surface of the SUN.

Shouldn't the trainer with its pokeball die? I mean a guy in the anime got his hands burned by a pokeball with a flaming golem inside...

EDIT: Not so much unknown, but why are female Mr. Mime are called MR. Mime?

Body temperature =/= Radiating temperature

[Blademaster]

A Pokeball shouldn't even be able to HOLD that sort of heat. I honestly don't see how a Magcargo could even stay on the ground with that kind of body heat. It'd melt through concrete, asphalt, dirt, even stone like they were butter, and it'd probably eventually sink to the center of the planet.

[Kyuuketsuki]

It'll probably melt the core as well... maybe it can surpress the heat...

That heat would be high enough to ignite the atmosphere if not contained, I think???

The Pokéball digitizes all aspects of the Pokémon, converting them to pure energy, even converting heat energy. The trainer who had his hand burned was a mistake in the anime as with the design of Pokéball technology (as set forth by the games and anime), that is impossible.

[Heald]

I'm going to go for the 'a wizard did it' argument and say his body can naturally contain that heat safely.

Maybe it was a faulty Pokeball that couldn't dissipate the heat energy instantly. Which is possible, considering the trainer looked like a gypsy.

[Kyuuketsuki]

lol a gypsy... another weird thing, where do Dittos come from? they're not hatched from eggs...

[Heald]

Can't a Ditto and a Ditto make a Ditto?

Otherwise, maybe they reproduce like bacteria i.e. split apart. You just never see it in the games.

[Kyuuketsuki]

On another note... Wouldn't Magcargo burn\melt\degenerate Ditto if they breed?

[Crystalmaster Mike]

How do Magnemite breed, even with Ditto? You know, I could point out Rod A, but I don't see the insertion slot. It's like they shouldn't be even compatible.
Then again, shapeshifting...

[Heald]

Also, never mind Ditto, there's loads of other holes in the breeding story.

First of all, Tauros are male only, so how do they breed? And why can't Nidorina and Nidoqueen lay eggs either? It's so stupid, especially since they are described as being protective of their young. You know, the young that THEY'LL NEVER HAVE.

[RedStarWarrior]

lol a gypsy... another weird thing, where do Dittos come from? they're not hatched from eggs...
Laboratory experiment.

[Kyuuketsuki]

Skitty and Wailord...

EDIT: How come pokemon based on fish, like goldeen feebas magikarp, fight on land in the games, when they shouldn't be able to...

[Telume]

It's called Miltank Heald :rolleyes:

[Heald]

Miltanks only ever shit out Miltanks in the game.

Explain that smart guy.

[RedStarWarrior]

Miltanks give birth from the uterus, not the colon, my friend.

[Heald]

Who says Miltanks are uterine animals? In fact, given it lays eggs, it probably lacks one.

[RedStarWarrior]

Who says Miltanks are uterine animals? In fact, given it lays eggs, it probably lacks one.
You raise a valid point.

Speaking of that, why the fuck do the mammalian-esque Pokémon lay eggs?

[Mr. Brightside]

How do Magnemite breed, even with Ditto? You know, I could point out Rod A, but I don't see the insertion slot. It's like they shouldn't be even compatible.
Then again, shapeshifting...

My problem with Magnemite is that when it evolves it has two extra heads. 1) does that mean that it has 3 brains as well and each head things separate, or they all sare the same brain? 2) Where the heck those heads come from?

Also: We know that Cubone has this skull stuck on its head but why when a Cubone its borned has a skull on it's head as well? This should not happen right?

[Heald]

Also: We know that Cubone has this skull stuck on its head but why when a Cubone its borned has a skull on it's head as well? This should not happen right?
One explanation is that it could be like an insect's exoskeleton i.e. bone that is formed on the outside of its body.

This is the other explanation:

http://www.infendo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/1254722368131.png

Cubone is meant to be the orphaned child of a Kanghaskan but they removed this before release.

[Mr. Brightside]

Wow, now this is something i did not know about.

But on the Cubone card of the very first series, it says that the skull it's stuck on its head.

[Telume]

Maybe it's a mutation from being taken away from its mother?

Maybe Cubone was at one point intended to be the Male counterpart to Kangaskhan.

And considering they're in the same egg group it makes sense.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Mind=blow

I actually wish they would change some of that stuff and keep it in there.

Here's two for you...

Lt. Surge was the first person to use a Pokemon in a war, this was WWII...

Mewtwo was created from an unborn child in a Mew....On Feb 6th (insert year)

They all really connect to our time line. Do you think the makers of Pokemon started out Pokemon to be a much more serious series?


:0 It really cheeses me off that we don't get a baby Kanghaskan

[Master Rudy]

Skitty and Wailord....

HOT SKITTY ON WAILORD ACTION! ^_~

Mewtwo was created from an unborn child in a Mew....On Feb 6th (insert year)

They all really connect to our time line. Do you think the makers of Pokemon started out Pokemon to be a much more serious series?

That point about Surge is an odd thing in itself. He looks unnaturally young for his age if that's really the case. Across all media he's always appeared to be way too young to be a WWII vet. Vietnam I could buy but not WWII. As a result is this a potential translation mistake or does even the Japanese version say WWII?

Can't comment on the dates in the journal about Mewtwo's creation. Other series set in different worlds have used the calendar we're familiar with as well. Look at any of the timelines for Lord of the Rings for a good example of what I mean.

In either case I do think the series was originally intended to be a bit more serious. If I had to give a theroy as to why it backed off then I'd cite Nintendo of America's censorship policy which was pretty heavily enforced up until they started to relax it near the end of the 90's. Hell look at Final Fantasy 4 and 6 when they were originally released as 2 and 3 over here. Due to their censorship at the time it was extremely rare that a game would get away with religous references. In FF2/4 the skill Pray is removed completely and only accessible via Game Genie. In both games the spell/element Holy is renamed as either Pearl/White. It's possible Pokémon could have been one of the final games released to suffer from censorship fate. However as a result the series could have skewed towards a younger crowd due to these changes. Don't forget it took a full three years for Pokémon to hit the States. Most of Nintendo's first and second party games that are first released in Japan tend to make it over here within a year. With that in mind it makes you wonder if the three years it took to finally make it this way were a simple matter of figuring out if the game was profitable or not.

Besides isn't Brock in the anime much more rauncy in the Japanese version anyway? I've not heard of actual examples or quotes but I do recall people saying it at least a few times.

[Blademaster]

Machamp can throw punches strong enough to send people to the Moon.

A Machamp's arm, when pulled all the way back, can probably travel a distance of 1.5 meters maximum in order to punch all the way. Five or six feet. If enough energy was in its punch to send its target flying the 238,000+ miles from the Earth to the Moon, the second that punch landed, it would VAPORIZE whatever it hit. Imagine that Mythbusters episode where they launched the rocket at the car and the car turned to freaking DUST. Now multiply that power by a thousand. The hardest Rock Pokemon in existence would be disintegrated by that, but they say Machamp can punch a HUMAN to the Moon?

I'm calling bullshit on that.

[Houndoom_Lover]

I'm not sure if that Japanese verson of it had that. But all the walkthroughs of the Red and Blue talked about how he fought in WWII. He does look super young. Maybe in Pokemon world, they had a WWII recently?

Damn, the 90s was so awesome. I wish America had eased up sooner...:0 Then they tighten down again, have you seen the things they show on tv, the pracies.

Oh course! They're much freer in Japan...and Germany...And pretty much everywhere else.

The first series and games had a really serious undertone, I wish they had kept that. They started to lighten up with every series and now its looked down upon.

What's up with Seviper not evolving from Ekans/Arbok?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ry3riB4jh8

[Lady Vulpix]

I asked the Ditto question on this forum some time ago.

I think it would make sense to say that two Dittos can make a Ditto, but they don't hatch from eggs and that's why the breeders never find a Ditto egg.

More questions: Miltank and Tauros are based on cows and bulls respectively. Miltanks are all female and Tauros are all male. They are in the same breeding group. Yet, a Miltank cannot give birth to a Tauros. Why is this so?

And why can Nidorans breed but not Nidoking/Nidoqueen?

[Houndoom_Lover]

I think Nidoking and Queen will only breed in the wild- at least, that's what I tell myself. In the movie, the wild ones had babies.

The whole MiltankXTauros thing bothers me. They should beable to have both. Remember when breeding was more random, that was much more authentic then having the system they have now.

OMG= http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/HSOWA

[Kyuuketsuki]

Is Elekid supposed to be plugged into Electivire?

[Houndoom_Lover]

OH HAI! Pokemon child porn >w>

I want to know why Eeevees other evolve form break the pattern, causing Eevees entire backstory to be re-written when the new forms could easily evolve with a stone. WTF

[Kyuuketsuki]

Jynx resembles an african woman more than a Pokemon. (No Racism Intended)

[Houndoom_Lover]

What are her clothes made out of? Skin?

[Kyuuketsuki]

Another weird thing, wasn't Zubat supposed to suck blood? A little weird for a Pokemon game, and how come Cherrim is food?

Pokémon rejects your reality and subsitutes it's own! :D

That was the very reason Jynx's skin color in the later generation games was changed to purple from black. Somebody pitched a bitch somewhere about how it resembled the "blackface" makeup you use to see white actors wear in stage productions during the early 20th century and it all snowballed from there.

[Blademaster]

Pokémon rejects your reality and subsitutes it's own! :D

Fuck that noise.

Here's another one. Dugtrio lives and causes earthquakes 60 miles underground.

The Earth's crust is, at its thickest, 30 miles thick. This means that Dugtrio hangs out in the MANTLE, or at the very least, the Moho... Dugtrio can not only survive, but THRIVE, in temperatures of over 500 degrees Celsius and atmospheric pressures exceeding a million pounds per square inch.

And yet, Dugtrio has no natural resistance to fire Pokemon and can easily be Burned by something as subtle as a Torchic's Ember attack.

WHAT IS THIS CRAP?!

[Master Rudy]

If you want to talk about Dugtrio then I'll see your Pokédex facts and raise you the question everyone has wondered:
We only see Dugtrio's head(s) so what does it look like under the ground. I think I may have found the answer......just be warned that it's not for the faint of heart.....

You will never get this image out of your head.......EVER! :lol:

[Pokemaster Ash]

I think Nidoking and Queen will only breed in the wild- at least, that's what I tell myself. In the movie, the wild ones had babies.

The whole MiltankXTauros thing bothers me. They should be able to have both.

Well I know from hard experience, at least with the Nidoran family and Volbeat/Illumise that it is possible to get the opposite-gendered Poké from breeding. I'm not sure if the same applies to Tauros and Miltank.

As for Nidoking and Nidoqueen's breeding capabilities, I have always wondered why the hell Nidoqueen was considered unbreedable. It is the female of the species, after all. Then again, breeding Nidoking can pass moves, but usually to other things, not to a Nidoran unless a Ditto is used. It seems unfair.

Then again, I've found it odd that Legendaries couldn't breed, or at least didn't have genders (Manaphy sorta excluded on the former, Latios & Latias excluded on the latter). Now I know this is to avoid breaking the game with an army of Mewtwos or something, but there could have always been measures put in to discourage mass-production (already it takes forever to hatch a Legendary egg if you were to get one via AR, they could always throw other restrictions like time, special events, etc. to really keep things complicated)

People just shark legendaries anyway if they want more so frankly all they are doing is encouraging people to cheat.

[Drago]

Red/Blue Pokedex entry for Vulpix...
At the time of birth, it has just one tail. The tail splits from its tip as it grows older.

Gold Pokedex entry for Vulpix...
As it develops, its single white tail gains color and splits into six. It is quite warm and cuddly.
http://www.upokecenter.com/pictures/dp/poke037_3.png
Freshly hatched Vulpix ain't got no single tail. They really need to just make a pre-evolution to rectify this oversight.

[Telume]

Especially with all the organic-looking legendaries like the Legendary Birds, WHY CAN'T THEY BREED? THEY'RE BIRDS AND FRANKLY THE MAKE MORE SENSE LAYING EGGS THAN HALF THE SHIT THAT CAN!

Arceus I can understand 'cause it's well... god. Remaining chaste and all that stupid crap.

[Lady Vulpix]

Arceus I can understand 'cause it's well... god. Remaining chaste and all that stupid crap.Maybe they can, but their mating season comes once a century or so. That would explain why they're so rare.

...I don't see anything.

[Mew Master]

You raise a valid point.

Speaking of that, why the fuck do the mammalian-esque Pokémon lay eggs?

Technically mammals are amniotes. The remnants of the amnion from our distant ancestors is still found in the uterus and during the development of the young.

It's not too far out of the way to say that mammal-like Pokemon could lay eggs. Besides... look at marsupials. They're mammals and some of them lay eggs.

[DarkestLight]

Umm wtf?

I though I bred a Tauros though.... Hrm I must investigate this.

That Cubone thing...makes a HELL of alot of sense. Give Marowak a Evo and lets finally have our Kanga set completed. Cause hatching full grown Pokemon with babies IN THEIR POUCHES ALREADY...is fugging eerie.

[Heald]

Nintendo should totally just make a brand new Pokemon franchise where they actually fix all the problems that occurred because there was absolutely no foreplanning whatsoever, so Pichu actually comes before Pikachu in the Pokedex, and you could use the Leaf Stone on Eevee to make a Leafeon instead of some obscure Forest grove level-up shit.

Then fix all the problems with breeding and crap like that and give everyone their proper evos.

Tell Sugimori, he'll slap Nintendo around a bit. After all, they are his creations that Nintendo is selling.

[PancaKe]

Leafeon is the dumbest name for a pokemon. It's what we called our own pokemon eeveeloutions in our stories when we were 12. "Uh... dumm... LEAFEON that's original they'll never know where i got that name from!"

[Heald]

Oh gawd all those fan-made Pokemon like Psyeon, Darkeon, Iceon, Grasseon. Man people sucked at making names for fake Pokemon.

[PancaKe]

Takes me back to the time of PokeGods ... sigh! I spent forever using the item finder around the place you find Mewtwo in Blue trying to find a Mist Stone that makes your pokemon evolve into pokegods.


Someone convinced me that the pokegod of Charizard was Charcoal. ah naive times

[Master Rudy]

...I don't see anything.

Talking about exaggerating, isn't it weird that Alakazam has an IQ of 5000 and he cannot speak? If it is truly that smart then: 1) It should be a legendary Pokemon 2) It should be able to speak and not just speak one language but every freaking possible language ever existed in the world 3) Shouldn't it be wearing clothes and have a job or something instead of sitting in the woods saying "Alakazam Alakazam"? 4) He is smarter than every scientist ever existed, should it be able to solve a few scientific mysteries?

Actually they just need to remove his tails when it is borned and add them gradually as it grows older.

You're mistaking intelligence for knowledge.

You're also assuming that an Alakazam with an IQ of 5000 would act in the same way a human with an IQ of 5000 would.

You know which dumb name I remember?

Remember when Marril used to be called Pikablu? I dunno if that was the case down under but here in the US, that name was all the rage when they first showed Marril, until they said its official name. And even then some people STILL called Marril Pikablu until Gold and Silver came out and shut everyone up.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Damn right, its weird. I told my filming friend, that from now on, shits gunna make sense.

Why didn't the Eevee evoles in Gold and Silver evolve with the Sun stone and the Moon Stone. What. The. Hell?

[PancaKe]

LMAO PIKABLU! I remember that! Ah good old times old old times.

I remember learning all the japanese names for the GSC pokemon and then refusing to call Ampharos anything other than Denryuu. :)

[Houndoom_Lover]

Nintales upsets me. The german name for it fits it way more. The name starts with a V and looks a little more creative then Ninetales. Mai gosh.

[Mew Master]

Ninetails should really be Kitsune.... SHOULD be...

EDIT: 4000th POST!

[Kurosakura]

Don't you mean Kyuubi?

[Kyuuketsuki]

Pokemon is filled with weird stuff, how come the player character can pull a gyrados out of the water when fishing?

[Houndoom_Lover]

Nein! Vulnona heist....*narrows eyes* Ja.

Vulnona makes so much sense.

[shazza]

Haha at the Arbok > Seviper error.

Do normal animals exist in the Pokemon world? I remember there being references to cats, and some episodes had normal fish swimming.

[PancaKe]

Waninoko was the best name for Totodile ever.

[Kyuuketsuki]

An episode had A Pidgey eating a worm... Or Pidgeotto... don't remember... But they seem to have extinct now, the writers probably wanted to connect the Pokemon World wih the Real World but was rejected.

[Houndoom_Lover]

There's an episode with a dog in it, remember? They do into the city, Ash and Brooke I think and they're chased by a dog along the fence. It's like two episodes before Charmander evolves....?

Well, some games talk about China...And stuff

[Kyuuketsuki]

I don't remember a dog...

[Houndoom_Lover]

HRhm, I'm almost certain. No! Its way before that part. It was right after it was raining so like episode two.

[Kyuuketsuki]

Still don't remember, probably was a Growlithe...

[Houndoom_Lover]

No, the dog was brown! :0 It barks at him, scares him shitless and he goes running.

[Kyuuketsuki]

Either way, there is no dog now by the ones that appear every generation (Growlithe, Houndour, Poochyena, Shinx) and there certainly won't be any more real animals unless the writers get drunk...

[Heald]

I think sometimes you can see silhouettes of regular birds and fish, but they are so far off they could be Pidgey/Spearow or Goldeen/Magikarp.

I also think some of the earlier Pokedex descriptions reference other animals, but they've probably been trumped by later editions.

[Houndoom_Lover]

There have been, in the early ones. It talks about how they eat grubs and whatnot :0

Yeah, prolly not. But it is there, darnit. I'm gunna watch every episode until I find it...Pfff, such nobel sacrafices.

[Kyuuketsuki]

Isn't Mew supposed to have the DNA of all Pokemon ever? wouldn't that include the legendaries and wouldn't it mean that it has to breed to create more Pokemon?

[Houndoom_Lover]

Yes. I think that can be neatly explained by this: Pokeballs give radiation off that prevents them from breeding domestically.

^_^ But yeah, what did Mew first breed with to make everything?

[Kyuuketsuki]

Another Mew? Arceus?

OR

Mew wasn't what it looks like today, it had a wing but it got cut off and DITTO came into being, they bred and made all the species!

My theory rules =3

[RedStarWarrior]

We see fish in rivers and stuff in early episodes that aren't Pokémon.

[Houndoom_Lover]

You're theory does rule!

Pokemon=inbreeding!! :3 Yaaay!

And yeah, the early episode they caught some fish, didn't they?

Heck, I'll eat a Goldeen. Vincent's lookin' mighty tasty these days ^w^

[Kyuuketsuki]

Torchic and a Goldeen, you're a danger to the Pokemon...

but yeah, it would explain why Ditto can't hatch from an egg, it's not a complete Pokemon...

[Heald]

Why would you want to breed a Ditto anyway?

[RedStarWarrior]

Why would you want to breed a Ditto anyway?
Sex toys.

[Houndoom_Lover]

So you can have a jiggle party! Jiggly like your wiggling free! It's a jiggling wiggling spree!

^w^ They better watch out! Shelders too, I'd eat a shelder in a heartbeat. Roast me up some Sunkerns!

[Kyuuketsuki]

The only Pokemon eatable so far is Fartech'd... maybe some Tropius fruits as well... and I forgot one last pokemon that is a source of food, I think it was a Gen II...

[Houndoom_Lover]

Hey, anything can be eaten with you cook it well :3 I bet Wartortle soup is deeelicious.

[Kurosakura]

I... I think I'm going to be sick...! *runs away*

I'M SORRY FARFETCH'D I SWEAR I WON'T TALK ABOUT EATING YOU EVER AGAIN!

[Mew Master]

It's official...

Don't let HL near any PKMN or she'll flame broil them right up.

[Blademaster]

This surprises you? <_<

[Houndoom_Lover]

Daaayum, you've guys never dreamt of eating Pokemon? MMhrrhm X3

[Kyuuketsuki]

I never dreamt about it, but apperantly it's possible since in the anime they eat Farfetch'd, and in the episode in the sea, Ash and everyone else wanted to eat the Magikarp... Snorlax have been shown to almost eat other Pokemon, Cherrim is a food... Probably Munchlax's food... So yeah, some Pokemon are eatable, but how are you going to eat a Magnemite, Slugms, Ghastly (which is poisionous by the way)... etc

[Houndoom_Lover]

Hrrhm, they don't look tasty! I'd stick to the fleshy Pokemon

[toucheiruka]

I'd eat a Slugma for $400, might have massive heartburn though.

why is it that most of the legendary pokemon are not even seen, but yet have a pokedex entry????

[Telume]

Why would you even THINK of eating a pokemon?

[Kyuuketsuki]

It's not as bad as eating animals, since they should be the Pokemon World's Animals... Unless you're vegeterian then you'll just eat berries...

Then lets get back on it!

[Houndoom_Lover]

I think of eating Pokemon because I just think about eating :3 All the time

[Magmar]

Spearow eat Caterpie, right? Wasn't that a problem in one of the first episodes--like Metapod is a defense mechanism of Caterpie while it molts/evolves or whatever the hell caterpillars do in cocoons? Farfetch'd are rare because people ate them, and didn't they get cooked WITH their leeks? And like... Ash in Pokemon heard about it and his mouth was all watering and stuff?

I'd eat some Miltank steak...

[Telume]

It'd be so nutritious it cures Heart Disease and Cancer, why didn't we think of that sooner!

[Shivaree]

To comment on the uh, eating XD, Tropius' fruit is edible. I believe one of the Pokedex entries says that it grows the fruit twice a year and people do pick them.


Why does Houndour have ears but Houndoom seems to lose them?

Also, I find it difficult to fathom how, exactly, a rock Pokemon works. Is it solid rock? If so, where is the brain, nervous system, how does it feel pain?

[Houndoom_Lover]

I realized that today on the train- it's that wonky? It's like their ears grow into their horns :0

[Telume]

Or something like that...

[Crystalmaster Mike]

Houndour have ear drums, Houndoom have ear horns. Plain and simple.


BTW, a Rock Pokémon might be a silicon-based lifeform, like the Thing. Not a single mushy tissue inside them. Except for Shuckle, of course.

[Zallarion]

The only Pokemon eatable so far is Fartech'd... maybe some Tropius fruits as well... and I forgot one last pokemon that is a source of food, I think it was a Gen II...

You're mistaking intelligence for knowledge.

You're also assuming that an Alakazam with an IQ of 5000 would act in the same way a human with an IQ of 5000 would.

I'm not saying that Alakazams should talk but they must have the potentials to do great things since they have such an amazing IQ. They have the intelligence to gain the knowledge. Plus according to Alakazam data they are smarter than supercomputers.

Now, i was always wondering what was going on with the Legendaries. In the second movie we see the Legendary birds but in the episodes we see another Articuno and another Zapdos. Exactly how many of them exist? And wouldn't the existence of more than one Dialga, Moltres or whatever cause them to lose their legendaries statuses?

[Houndoom_Lover]

I think the term for Legendary is used loosely. In the Pokemon world, they aren't suppose to exist- just like dragons and merpeople in are world...At least that's how it use to be.

Which is why I HATE that episode with the Articuno. Way to ruin the continuity of a series.

They also use it for Pokemon with ungodly strength...?

And apparently that strength is enough to fuck the world up.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Damn straight it is! I want a Zapdos :0

[Telume]

Nobody seems to like Lugia at all anymore. :(

[Blademaster]

I do! :249:

[Houndoom_Lover]

I do too! I just would pick a Zapdos first- they're the original badass, next to Mewtwo. I'd get on that Zapdos and ride it- hard :3

[Telume]

*tries to keep mind out of gutter*

Zapdos is the only legendary bird I'd be able to use honestly. The others have such a glaring rock weakness.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Yeah- and besides, Zapdos is badass looking.

[Heald]

Oh no, not a rock weakness, like anyone uses Rock pokemon anyway.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Even with a rock weakness, they'd still kick ass.

Who's in charge of them anyway? A King?

Heald :0 Your avatar is grand

[Telume]

Rock-types, maybe not, but Rock-type MOVES? Yes. I always carry Stone Edge on Garchomp. My Mismagius tends to carry Power Gem.... sure no STAB but those are 2 examples of pokemon that can deal serious pain with Rock-type moves, and what makes it worse is that Garchomp is immune to one of Zapdos' STABs.

You are now aware that Diglett's 'nose' is just a mouth with a tooth in it.

Poor Diglett looks so white trash. :( I dub thee Hicklett!

huh? What?

You know what bugs me? The fact that some evolutions have no sense at all. How can some Pokemon when they evolve, lose their tales, ears or getting extra heads. I mean..., hell even for Pokemon it seems a bit weird...

[Heald]

Diglett's nose looks like a wide open mouth with the white bit being a single tooth in the upper gum.

Exeggcute is a weird Pokemon anyway because it is 6 sentient egg-seed things that can sort of act independently, whereas when it evolves it becomes a massive walking palm tree with 6 heads.
