Well this surely qualifies: Edit: Worth applying some context - So it's not strictly a "+Speed Nature = faster animation thing" (especially since I've seen others on Twitter note that -Speed Natures have the same effect), but still, the fact that there's this little variable in there at...

I always just figured that the Hall of Fame restriction was simply waived for certain, highly reputable professionals like Professors (and perhaps not even all of them, just the most esteemed/well-connected). I think back to that email you can read on Prof. Oak’s computer from League HQ inviting...

Did you know that the mainland Galar region is divided up into four distinct provinces? The Rondelands, which includes Wyndon. The symbol for this province is a crown. The Auldlands, which includes Hammerlocke, Stow-on-Side, Ballonlea, Circhester, and Spikemuth. The symbol for this province is...

Yeah, I know what you mean. o_O I think the way I come down on it is, "Well, it was fun as a change of pace, but for the most part, I think Pokémon is more effective when working in a simpler register and should probably not go so pants-on-head wild like that again. And also it gave rise to all...

It still kind of boggles my mind to think of just how, not only developed, but outright convoluted and bizarre the backstory for something as comparatively insignificant as Mr. Bonding and O-Powers is. 30 years ago, a genuine, literal alien arrives on Earth He meets a Solrock/Lunatone that...

I just became aware of the existence of this video thanks to a user over on the Smogon boards. It is a breakdown of a translated Japanese-only publication from the very beginning of the series's history, which includes longer and more detailed versions of the original 150 Pokémon's Pokédex...

This is interesting, because Behemoth Blade and Bash can be used by Ditto if it has transformed into Zacian or Zamazenta... but the animation gets really messed up. I wonder what their thought process behind this is. Additionally, I notice in that video that certain moves, when "stolen" by...

You know, I’m not even sure it’s really a “programming error” so much as it is, the tutoring infrastructure just isn’t designed to support Pokémon that can learn multiple Pledge moves. At least in SwSh, I’m pretty sure the tutor is like, “You want me to teach your Pokémon a battle combo move?”...

I was perusing Bulbapedia the other day and I happened to notice that Pokémon Blue (Japanese)'s page was recently updated to state that there was a second run of mail order applications for the game in 1997, from June 13 to August 31. The information is sourced and there's apparently even a TV...

I'd say this is more a theory than it is concrete trivia.

I remember James Turner once said on Twitter that even though he designed Poipole/Naganadel, he was not the person who determined their stats or even their names. So yeah I think you're maybe onto something there.

On Cycling Road in RSE, there's a female Triathlete who says, "How do you like the way my raven-colored hair streams behind me? I grew my hair out just for that." Meanwhile, in ORAS, that person is replaced with a male Triathlete who says, "A beautiful woman who runs through the road with her...

Unova and Galar are the only regions in which every town has its own unique theme tune, although Alola may also qualify if you don't consider Tapu Village, which uses the Ula'ula Island Route music, to be a proper town or city (which would certainly be fair in my opinion, but I think technically...

Similarly, I have to wonder about this: In every single Pokédex in which they appear, Leafeon comes before Glaceon... except for the Crown Tundra Dex. This is despite the actual Galar Dex putting Leafeon first, as usual and as is in-line with their National Dex order. So, why is it different...

D'ya' know that Tierno got the Intriguing Stone that he gives you in Shalour City from Steven? > Tierno: "<player's nickname>, check this out! Isn't this stone cool? I got it from this person called the wandering stone collector for showing off my dance moves! It might be a Mega Stone! Here...

Crystal’s graphical improvements are going to be pretty negligible for most people. That’s probably true of all enhanced versions, but I’m just saying it’s not really a potent selling point on its own, especially since mainline Pokémon games don’t usually pride themselves on their graphics...

For a perspective shift, also consider that B2W2 performed as well as they did despite XY being announced a mere six months after B2W2 were released. I don't think any other main series game has had the marketing focus rug pulled out from under it so quickly. Not to mention the rather gruesome...

Wait fr? I knew about multi-target moves getting a damage cut in Battle Royals. Because an NPC in the Dome mentions it - so in my head it’s like, “ah, yes, makes sense, normally that’s not how it works, but they must not want them to be OP for Battle Royals.” But what really happened is that...

Woah, I’ve never heard of this one! :eek: This reminds me of a bit of trivia about Celadon Condominiums: > “In Pokémon Crystal only, there is an Easter egg on the right side of the staircase that leads up from the roof's entrance/exit. Interacting with this wall yields the text 'There's...

This is precisely the point in the Durant/Heatmor relationship where we move from ludonarrative dissonance to resonance. If you look at Durant's moveset, even just their natural learnset, in BW, we can see that they've got some useful options for countering Heatmor. Dig being probably the most...
