Obscure Pokémon anime trivia

Considering how late Pidgeotto evolved, I don't find it strange Pidgeot wasn't featured in the poster.

You're not wrong and I agree with you, but there's also the fact that Pidgeotto appeared as a Pidgeot in the season 1 Japanese opening right from episode 1, even fighting a Fearow in it, like it would go on to do in its evolution/release episode.

Didn't know that. It kinda kills my theory unless they were from different development stages, but that would be kinda unlikely.

As of the latest episode in Japan, Leon's Charizard has used a total of 18 different moves. The only individual Pokémon to have used more moves in the anime is Ash's Pikachu, and it has taken him seven series to use one more than what Leon's Charizard has used in a single series.

James’s Chimecho is the only Pokémon from Team Rocket that has never battled Ash.

Additionally, James’s Morpeko is the only Pokémon from Team Rocket (excluding Growlie or temporaries) that has never been sent blasting off.

With Ash's victory over Leon, Alder is the only Champion introduced as of Generation VIII who's not been seen losing an on-screen battle, even if we know that Iris must've defeated him to replace him as the Unova Champion.

The reason why Pokemon Advanced Generation is called this is because of the console that the Gen 3 games were released on, Game Boy Advance.

Spoiler: JN136 Spoiler

As of JN136, Ash’s Pidgeot and Primeape are the only released Pokemon of his that he hasn’t reunited with.

Also, Pokémon Advanced was apparently Ruby and Sapphire's code name or beta name, if we go by unused text.

Technically speaking he hasn't reunited with Ambipom either but tbf she was no longer his by the time she was released

Neither Primeape nor Ambipom has technically been released. Both of them have just been given away to other people to be trained. So Pidgeot is the only one.

Is it actually, though? I mean, it would be fitting but the official pronunciation doesn't exactly match up, especially in Japanese.

I don't genuinely know whether this bit of info is obscure or rather more popular, but there is an official English version of "Type Wild" from 2000, which has just never been used in the international version.

Reminds me that they also did an English version of "We Are", the theme of One Piece.

I wonder if their other animes also had their themes translated...

For some reason, Jigglypuff's debut episode is not dubbed or aired in Turkey.

For some reason, Jigglypuff's debut episode is not dubbed or aired in Turkey.

According to this Bulbapedia article:

This episode was skipped in Turkey. Though the reason for this has never been officially revealed, it's likely due to the gambling scenes.
