In Black and White, pressing B repeatedly will rotate the trainers on the floor of one of the towers. This was patched in the sequel games.

Which tower?

​@@Smfsableyeprolly celestial tower, unless its dragonspiral and the 'patch' is just removing the trainers.

I have two facts that I think are pretty fun: Sanqua in legends arceus reveals to the player that she likes painting and even shows you one of her paintings. And in the sinnoh games (BDSP) you can actually see her painting in certain location. She is also related to Clair, not just to Karen. That's why she has a similar hair color and hairstyle (if you look her from the back) and that's also why she has a cape hidden in her house during her sidequest. And another interesting fact is that falinks has the number 300 in the gen 9 pokedex. Which is very likely a reference to the movie 300.

[@judaiyuki5597]

the god stone was likely a key item for un unreleased event where you are able to fuse reshiram zekrom and kyurem back into the original dragon

Bonsly does not have a butthole. It's a drainage hole. You see them in clay planters all the time, it's so that excess water doesn't built up in the bottom and drown the plant.

[@deadheat1635]

So that’s its urethra?

[@MarioMastar]

That's literally what a "butthole" is... for releasing excess build up from ingestion. XD

Here’s a fun fact: the surfing theme from black and white is based on the theme from the Japan only game mother 3’s theme: the green trains fun too. N’s farewell is also based on the mother 3 love theme

[@Mr.Feather130]

Kind of crazy that gen 5 might be heavily inspired by mother 3 I guess

[@jeremymitchem327]

That VHS is ridiculous. Pokemon can do a lot of crazy stuff but you can't convince me Ash went to school.

[@bluebull1020]

I'm 100% sure now that F-00 and F-02 were supposed to be normal Pokemon but were cut and thrown into the movies

[@Warhawk9012]

8:41 for those wondering about Zap Cannon, in Gen II, it had a *99.6%* chance of paralyzing (not 100% like in Gen III+) and the same was true about the chance of confusion for Dynamic Punch. 13:35 Nidorina can't breed either, which is crazy considering the Dex entries that mention *both* species feeding & protecting "their young." Not to mention those baby Nidoqueen seen in Mewtwo Returns, which most likely came from the clone of Fergus' Nidoqueen (the guy who said *all* his Pokémon are water type.)

[@silvernado8644]

I’ve known about the speeding up bike trainers in Unova since playing it for the first time. There’s one specific biker you can’t get past if you run in the center of his pathing.

[@blackheartpopculture]

That would be good to connect substitute dolls for shuppet/Banette. Since clafairy is connected with Gengar. Since the poke doll is shown to be a clefairy.

[@johngerhart362]

For 36, doesn't Zap Cannon always paralyze if it doesn't KO? I know Hitmonlee gets the limber ability, but that didn't exist at the time.

[@Warhawk9012]

According to Bulbapedia, Zap Cannon had a 99.6% chance of paralysis in Gen II (same for Dynamic Punch and confusion.)

[@iwishiunderstood159]

I remember that episode of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Regis said, "Millions of kids are screaming at the TV right now!"

[@CrimsonVox]

Slowking Chilly Reception might be a reference on the Pokemon 2000 movie.

[@fivetales2672]

something i need to add to fact no. 66: the mystery has not been solved yet, because nidorina is in the unknown egg group too. and on top of that its canon that pokemon dont make babies in the traditional way. all it takes is 2 pokemon of the same egg group and different gender and after a while an egg appears out of nowhere.

[@TheLucarioMaster-uw4fb]

In fact related to fact number 44 every fighting speialist has used a Lucario or Machamp in at least one of there teams (See fighting types then vs now)

[@zachpro5475]

Do a video about the most damage in scarlet and violet

[@anastasiaalimova5452]

[@ThatUtubeGuy]

[@lionhart1517]

Possible reason for Slowking getting Chilly Reception is from the Pokemon Movie 2000, where the Slowking kept cracking jokes

[@conarcoin]

"pokemon legends arceus confirmed gyarados can literally fly" Gyarados (Japanese: ギャラドス Gyarados) is a dual-type Water/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

[@flamingphoenix1425]

1:53 its not just first place, you have to beat the default records. I didn't know this until a few weeks ago.

[@charliescott859]

So, i believe the inspiration for Chilly Reception was none other than Pokémon the movie 2000 (the power of one). There exists a slowking that talks in the movie and at one point says "i need pants" and the chilly air blows through. So basically, slowking canonically, just tells bad dad jokes.

[@tristrumwilliams7386]

Bart's trade would of made him more evil than team Rocket, cause you could lauder your glitched Mew into a legit Mew through his trade.

[@InMyOpinionIThinkThat]

Ive always knew that houndoom had no ears. I mean, houndour has ears, so does it loose its ears upon evolving into houndoom or do people cut their ears just like real-life dogs?

[@TheTakato122]

It does have ears, you just can't see them.

[@limegrass6194]

#56 I would love a sea monkey Pokémon that actually just turns out to be a shrimp. Maybe water bug type.

[@CyberBlastoise]

Fact #55: Silvally's name isn't Type:Null. It's Type:Full

[@brendanboomhour7606]

Exactly, they only came to be known as Type:Null because their bodies rejected the RKS implants, Gladion managed to get his partner's body to accept the implant, which I guess is why he felt fine with defrosting another of them (on an unrelated note, I just traded a regular Type:Null for a shiny one, and the shiny's actually not hacked for once, so I think the original owner pissed off a friend of theirs pretty bad)

[@stevenreckling203]

I guess trading mew for mew would at least let you level it up faster with the boosted exp.

[@charizard7609]

Okay, so the fact about the french TV easter eggs is interesting already, but it gets even better because now there's practically an infinite rabbithole of connections you can make from this and specifically all through Taxi. I'll make one right now as an example, but just a short one that's gonna tie back to a previous point just so I don't ruin the immersion completely, you can continue it on your own with your own creativity and knowledge. So, the first Taxi movie, if i remember correctly, stars a guest appearance from none other than Sylvester Stallone, which makes him canon practically in the Pokemon universe. But what movie is he much more infamously known for? Exactly, the Rocky movies, which would make them canon. Now, let's focus on specifically Rocky 3 for a bit. Great movie, lots of people liked it, and it also had a great cast of actors, including Mr. T as Clubber Lang, practically making The A-Team canon, but it also had Hulk Hogan as the character of Thunderlips, which in turn makes the WWE canon. Now, obviously, Hogan was infamous in the era around the 80's and kind of early 90's for a bit as well, but around the 90's came the Attitude Era, which was led on by Stone Cold Steve Austin, who, by the way, has starred in some movies as well, with probably the most infamous appearance of them (to my knowledge) being The Expendables, which makes that movie canon, but, hold on, who else starred in that movie? Sylvester Stallone. There's one of our many loops that can be built with this. If any of you wanna go further with this, go right ahead, but that at least is where i'm gonna leave it.

[@BloodThirstyAvengers]

In B2W2, Skyla's satchel thing on her leg is missing at the start of her animation, then appears later after her other leg obscures that area. You can even check at 19:07 if you don't believe me. Also in that game, her whole team starts with the letter S; Swoobat, Skarmory, Swanna, and the Challenge-Mode-Exclusive Sigilyph. By the way, I found it ironic the thumbnail was a sexy Pikachu wearing an American Flag considering Unova is the only region to not have Pikachu be native. It has to be transferred from Sinnoh or be obtained in an event, which makes the Light Ball event-exclusive as Items can't be transferred from Sinnoh.

[@gatorkid509]

Fun Fact about that Pokédex entry for Umbreon, it's actually true because Umbreon has been able to learn the move Toxic via TM since Gen 2, so even after Umbreon became a Dark Type, GameFreak chose to not only reference it's original typing with a Pokédex entry, but also with it's moveset, which I think is amazing. Sidenote, before the Teal Mask DLC, Umbreon was unable to learn TM Toxic due to the fact that Toxic wasn't a TM in the base game of Scarlet and Violet. And not going to lie, I originally thought and feared that Umbreon would never learn Toxic again since Bulbapedia didn't list Toxic as it's TM Moveset. But now I know it can still learn Toxic, it just had to wait a couple months.

[@Muriuki34]

To be fair, nearly EVERY Pokémon can learn the move Toxic via TM prior to gen 9. It would have been much more telling if Umbreon had the move as part of its level up moveset.
