-Satoshi originally got his idea for Pokemon, from bugs! When he was little, him and other kids traded bugs and stuff, and so Pokemon was born!
-. Many Pokemon, especially in the first generation, had different english names before they came out. For example, Omanyte and Omastars original English names were Ess and Kargo! While Kabuto and Kabutops were Att and Lantis! Kakuna was Kokoon, Rattata was Rattatak, Ekans was Arbo, Sandslash was Sandstorm, Clefairy was Aria why Clefable was Ariala, Vulpix was Foxfire, Paras was Parasyte, Diglett was Digda, Growlithe and Arcanie were Flamey and Blaze. Abra was Hocus, while Kadabra was, you guessed it, Pocus! The Machop line was Kara-Tee, Kung-Foo, and Ju-Doh! The Tenta family was Jilly and Man O War, Rapidash was Gallop, Slowbro was Slowmo, Magnemite was Coil while Magneton was Recoil, Dewgong was Manaty, the 3 Kanto Ghosts were Spirit, Spectre, and Phantom, Cubone was Orphon while Marowak was Guardia, Lickitung was Tounguety'd. Koffing was Ny while Weezing was La, the acronyms for two of USA's smoggiest cities! Chansey was Lucky, while Tangela was Medusa. Seaking was Neptune, Scyther was Stryke, Gyrados was Skullkraken, Lapras was Ness, Eevee was Eon. Aerodactyl was Ptera, and finally Dratini and Dragonair was Dragoon and Dragyn! Phew, that was quite a few!
-The Japanese version of Crystal came with a device that used cell phone technology, to communicate with other players!
-. Team Rocket once had a Ditto. In a Radio Drama released only in Japan, we were introduced to Mondo, a TR member who supplied James and Jessie with all their supplies. He traded his Ditto for their Meowth, but in the end James and Jessie reunited with Meowth. Mondo worshipped them
-Giovanni's mom was also shown in the other Radio Drama, based on Mewtwo. She didn't have a name, but she was the leader of TR until her son took over. We never hear of her again either.
-In Fire Red and Leaf Green there is a cave called Altering Cave. In it is only Zubat, although people have found other Pokemon too be in the programming of the cave. It is currently unknown how to obtain them, but E-Reader is the most likely. I think there is also one of these in Emerald too.
gotta bring some life to this thread!!!!!
