What was your biggest huh moment in pokemon?For me it was that pokemon dont evolve by aging. Some pokemon are stuck in their first evolution stage until old age.
A lot of type related stuff in general. Water resisting ice but ice not resisting water, electric not being super effective against steel, Gyarados being water/flying instead of water/dragon, and Mawile being steel (now steel/fairy) instead of dark and/or ground.
>>58731131Evolution was never tied to growth, otherwise level 100 nfes wouldn't be possible
that late johto arc in the anime with the mother and child lugia really fucked with me. like, yeah, i know they have to come from somewhere, but i didn't like actually witnessing it
They did this again wit the old Hoothoot in Journey's.Makes sense, you can evolve your Staryou or Porygon to their final stages pretty much as soon as their born.Then there are Pokemon like Ash's Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Rowlet as well as Dawn's Piplup who refuse to evolve, not like they'd remain young forever just because of that...
>>58731131Was't it always obvious?The vast majority of Magikarps never evolve during their life.Same for Tentacools, Wingulls...etc
>>58731131Evolution is done as a necessity, not as some mandatory progression in biology. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to cancel evolutions.If a swarm of Rattata live in a peaceful area with no threats, they will never evolve because there's no need to. But if they actively need to defend themselves from a hostile environment, some may evolve into Raticate. Pokemon who cannot use evolution to defend themselves tend to be lower in numbers in the wild as a result (Pikachu, Clefairy, Eevee, etc).This works backwards, too. Baby Pokemon are only produced in an area that the parents feel comfortable in a secure enough environment to produce them, hence why incense is required to acquire them through the Day Care.
I didn’t know until gen 6 that rock resists poison.
>>58731289Ground resists Poison too, which still trips me up sometimes.
>>58731289Rock isn't weak to ice as well
>>58731131>posting old ass treecko instead of the grandpa scyther
>>58731131Jessie and James from team rocket are teenagers
>>58731365No
>>58731718According to Terraleak information? Yes they are. About 15 I think.
>>587313651. the episode where they had to write down their ages they lied and it's obvious in that scene that they were lying2. they say they're in their 20s in pokemon 2000
>>58731736non canon english """""""translation""""""
>>58731358Scyther didn't have an evolution back during that era, kid.
>>58731159Electric being super effective against Flying will forever be the most stupid
>>58731745It's in Japanese
>>58731365>>58731718>>58731735>>58731736>>58731745>>58731853>In The Birth of Mewtwo, Jessie's mother Miyamoto wrote a report 20 years before Mewtwo's creation that says she gave away her daughter to be a foster child as a little girl.Also in Japanese, Jessie is often mocked for being a Christmas cake.
