Face McShooty Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Is there any interesting/odd information about a species of Pokemon you enjoy seeing? How about Pokedex entries? Post them here and discuss your thoughts on other information other people post... Here's a few things I find interesting. Until Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire came out, Groudon was the heaviest Pokemon according to the Pokedex, then after ORAS came out, Primal Groudon took that spot by 109.6 lbs (49.7kg)HOWEVER once Sun & Moon came out, Primal Groudon was dethroned as the heaviest by 2 Pokemon... can you guess the 2?Both of these Pokemon outweigh Primal Groudon by 0.4 lbs(0.2kg) Also... do you know which primary body color has the most species of Pokemon? Blue Pokemon overrun all the other colors with 162 species of Pokemon having Blue as their primary body color!The closest to having more Pokemon of the primary color? Brown has the 2nd most with 132... Although, after looking at the image posted below... some of these Pokemon's primary color being brown confuses me...

Sunshine Jesse Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 This isn't -entirely- related to the question at hand, but I've always loved the Lovecraftian nature of the Ultra Beasts. The fact they're portrayed as being so other compared to normal Pokemon, from their weird stats (all of them except Naganadel's Speed are prime numbers), height, and weight, to their even weirder designs (most of which I don't really like to be fair, but I think that's part of the point), is really cool. Literally everything about them drills in the fact that they're not normal and not of this world and I think that's good writing and game design on Gamefreak's end. I wish they applied that nuance to other aspects of their games lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warden Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 The only issue I take is that Stakataka is based on a Japanese Yokai instead of the design being something otherworldly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mokumokuren It kinda takes away the otherwordly feel a little if you know about it.
