Barbaracle's limbs are said to not always follow its head's orders. This is because its limbs are barnacles, too, and not actually limbs.

"Wobbuffet" is actually the tail, the big blue thing is a dummy (a wobbly buffer) to protect the 'tail'. This is why it can't directly attack.

Diggersby's ears resemble diggers/construction machinery.

Cubchoo's runny nose becomes Beartic's icicle beard - it even begins from its nose.

WTF AT WOBBUFFET

 

[OmegaPirate]

There will be more. Many will be unveiled through DLC/event pokemon giveaways.
We're at 19 officially (counting Mega Tyranitar based on its balloon model).

thanks

Isnt Trainer A going to die or become possessed now?


Also i'm sure everyone else knew but:

I just found that out around Platinum's release.

My mind was blown

Spoiler

when I realized people actually thought the red spots were Armaldo's eyes lol

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I knew that

People thought those were his eyes? lol!

I was gonna say, wut lol It's like when people say "Those white dots are Aganihm's eyes!" you saw it any differently?!

 

[Owwari]

Easier for those that have played The Last of Us:
Did you know Parasect is the product of Para's parasitic mushroom taking control over the host's mind? It's pretty messed up, and explains the empty eyes

(Google Cordyceps)
Hohohoho, MUAHAHAHA

 

[zewone]

I think this is what bothers me about megas. It's like a rejected art major went to design these abominations and posted them on deviantart, confirming what a failure he/she is. Only it's official. It's a desecration of the iconic Sugimori art. It's like someone other than Toriyama designing characters for the new Dragon Quest. Maybe Satoshi is creatively bankrupt, who knows, and hey, it's financially lucrative to henshin up old pokemon in a new coat, but what a fuckup by whoever gave this the green light.

Wholeheartedly agree.

Wobbuffet isn't the tail guys, it animates properly in the stadium games (not to mention the anime).

What?

Dude, come on, you're playin', right?

Holy shit

Wow...I can't.

Yeah, lets hope the fungus from Parasect never evolves to the point that it can use humans.

Wait, I just thought of an idea for a megaevolution for Parasect...

Infested Terrans all up in my Pokemon.

 

[Mr-Joker]

There's also a fan theory that Dittos are failed Mew's clones. But there's nothing to support that aside that Ditto and Mew have the same colouring (including shiny), hight weight and both know transform.

lol they just stand out so much, I never noticed. Then once I found out, I couldnt unsee.

Ekans spelled backwards is Snake. Try it with Arbok too... yeah I know!

Also, they were found in the Cinnabar research lab and Mewtwo's cave in the original games.

That's what Wobbuffet wants you to think.

Weren't Dittos also located in areas that suggested the theory as well? Eh, I always like the theory.

Pokemon: The Last of Us.

I'd dig it.

 

[MrSaturn99]

To everyone who defended R/S/E earlier, you're all my bros. My favorite gen alone just for how incredibly diverse Hoenn's landscape was (that, and I miss the detailed Pokedex descriptions it had)

And holy shit at Tyranitar.

It's probably my favorite theory in the Pokemon series.

Mew also contains the DNA of every single pokemon in its body.

I still think Hoenn has some of the best Pokemon designs (key word being some of, since Hoenn did have some iffy designs too). And yeah, Mega Tyranitar is awesome.

and... hell I've gotta spoiler tag this one...

They aren't based on Jackie Chan and Jet Li though.

They are actually homages to Hiroyuki Ebihara (boxer) and Tadashi Sawamura (kickboxer), which explain their Japanese names (Ebiwalar and Sawamular).

 

[Sigismundo]

Jet Li

Errrrrrrrrr

 

[Fireblend]

They aren't based on Jackie Chan and Jet Li though.

Wat.

 

[LuchaShaq]

If I theoretically wanted to catch every pokemon made could I do it with one 3ds, x,soul silver, and black 2? Or would I need to make a shit ton of online trades.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Errrrrrrrrr

In my defense, "li" sounds exactly like "lee" in my native language (Portuguese). lol

Bruce Lee

Ah, so that is why they are making fun of me. Still, my point stands, Hitmonlee isn't a homage to Bruce Lee either.

Hobo riddle solved:

Named AZ
English alphabet A (beginning) - Z (end)
Ragnarök is also known as Beginning of the End
Ragnarök sounds like Ragnaros from Warcraft

Hobo AZ is Ragnaros

 

[Macka]

There's a good chance you'll be able to get the vast majority in X alone, but yes, I'm fairly sure you'd be able to get all of them with those games. Apart from Event Legendaries, of course.

 

[zewone]

In my defense, "li" sounds exactly like "lee" in my native language (Portuguese). lol

It's pronounced the same in English as well, but it's still the wrong person.

 

[Caladrius]

You'd still need to trade a good chunk. The Gen IV mascots in particular can't be found in the later games without an event pokemon.

 

[Korosenai]

So, kind of random, but I was looking at the List of Pokemon by base stats on Bulbapedia, and holy shit. I never knew that Slaking was that high up on the list. We need a Mega Slaking without truant right NOW.

 

[Tan]

You wouldn't even be able to get Skrelp.

Someone did make a list of unoptainable pokemon in X and Y in this thread though.

Watch it have Slow Start instead.

Mew also contains the DNA of every single pokemon in its body.

But Arceus is God!

starting it up again

We really don't. The handicap is the whole point. He's perfectly viable even with Truant.

The only thing Slaking needs is a second ability that isn't the worst in the game, let's leave Mega's to Pokemon with several flaws

 

[Dr. Randy Marsh]

I always thought Tyranitar's belly was supposed to resemble an insect's abdomen, owing to its insect-like pupal stage. Can't believe I never realized it was a remnant of Pupitar's shell.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

We really don't. The handicap is the whole point. He's perfectly viable even with Truant.

Perfectly viable where? In-game? sure, but everything is viable in-game. He's setup fodder, and if you have protect he's 100% useless.

 

[Sorian]

Him and Slowking together were a nightmare.

Yeah, there seems to be lots of street date breaking going on in Europe.

Meanwhile Australian retailers are refusing to budge from the 12th release date.
