Pokemon Facts You've 100% NEVER Heard Of

[@sleepyslowhyrax]

The quotes from Game Freak just saying the most average, profanity-filled speeches is a lot funnier than it should be lol

[@SymbioticVader]

My dumb ahh not realizing that it's a april fools joke

[@espeon030]

lol

[@warjohnson6075]

I realized on the second "Fact"

[@Murderoustranscat]

No it's not it's just a coincidence

[@omphileomphile785]

I realised near the end

Did you know, trubbish was made when one employee at gamefreak when an employee found a trash bag with a little kitten inside the employee showed everyone in gamefreak this and went "So this is your new design?"

[@panthertakamaki7141]

@Crush_The_Cranium that's why they call trubbish a cat

[@TheKhfan001]

They threw away the cat, but kept the trash bag. That bag is still in their office to this day.

[@jkt0015]

I didn’t realize this was a joke until the developer taped a flame thrower to his dog

[@AnimeMemeDaily]

Same 😂

[@Frizardfakemon]

Same

I like the idea of game freak encountering all of these super wacky phenomena and going “YOOOOO! We should put that in our game!” I wish this was real

[@lakshaybareja6562]

there might be some

[@DefileOdds]

That game freak story would actually be an incredible origin for the company, you had me up to the ditto gum. You can fool me once, you can fool me twice, but then you can only fool me a couple more times before I, start to catch on.

did you guys know ash has a pikachu? it's a really subtle detail and it isn't mentioned too much which is insane

N shows signs of Autism, his name hints at it with Natural Harmonia Gropius being a reference to “Natural number. His autism is also hinted by his love for Ferris wheels, the way he talks quicker than most, his monotone behavior, etc. Its also said to believe that during his character development that one of the designers was autistic themselves so they decided to include it. (I love N Harmonia 😋)

[@whyisthomyorke]

N means Neurodivergent :P

[@NotYabub]

Fun fact: the reason why there are two versions of each Pokémon game is because when Junichi Masuda grew up an orphan and he and his ragtag gang of orphan friends would steal and sell peoples pets and became rich. Junichi Masuda started game freak to clean the money and this is the inspiration for team rocket. Giovanni is actually based on Junichi Masuda and the reason why he leaves at the end of red/blue is to start the same game freak in the games.

[@FriedWafflez8208]

The funniest part is that you never actually said why there were two versions

[@Rico_brawlstars1]

My dad left me when I was 6 (Im literally ash)

Fun Fact: Did you know? The Periodic Table had to change one of it's elements after Game Freak sued them for the 18th element, as it was actually called Aggron. But the Periodic Table was petty and liked the name and so they only changed a couple letters and called it Argon. I was that Gamefreak employee who started it btw.

Did you know that you can actually get Kantonian Mr. Rime? If you walk under an arch with 490 hp missing while you do the griddy in Johto and spin for 34 hours straight, you’ll have wasted your time!

When designing Manaphy, Sugimori had a strange dream where an angel showed him a redesign of it. Unable to convince Game Freak to change Manaphy's design, he turned the new design into Phione.

[@RGC_animation]

Did you know, that Hideo Kojima got bullied relently as a kid and fell into a dumpster once, where he found a radioactive talking cat. He told this story to his best friend Satoshi Taijiri, which years later inspired him to design the iconic Pokemon Meowth. He even reference the initial encounter in the Pokemon anime with Team Rocket and their mascot Meowth.

[@makeeeveeacupcake]

‘Mochi mayhem’ was made because someone at gamefreak hated mochi

[@SpoopyKrown]

I'm embarrassed that I only realized it was an April Fools joke when he said the thing about Protagonists and antennas. Everything after that is obviously a joke, but before that it's actually convincing (especially the Pika-Clones and Ditto).

[@nekomataumbreon]

Was the ditto one not real? I remember hearing it as a kid

[@sophietoast]

Poor pokemon, I also failed in school

[@jodygrottino8257]

Dang, some of these are sooo believable, good job. 😂

[@Laqqy]

when they went “WE ARE GAMEFREAK” i shit myself ❤️

[@hayleeh18]

Did you know that the reason Miraidon and Koraidon love sandwiches is because Game Freak’s emotional support gecko named Donney once stole Masusa’s subway sandwich and ate the whole thing? It left such an impact that they decided to change the material the legendaries originally ran on, being gasoline, to sandwiches

[@Glitchy_Blaze]

"dedenne was based on a fat rat that died" 😦

[@_GLXC]

Did you know that Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, after seeing how much Game Freak devs were failing upwards, took this as the inspiration for the character Buggy D. Clown. A character that succeeds through failure.

[@papyrusty368]

11:46 "That's a nice arguement senator. Where's your source?" "My source is I made it the fuck up!"

[@FinnGreenland]

Fact: Squirtle is based on a turtle that one of Satoshi's freinds picked up and threw as hard as he could into the lake, it didn't make it into the water, so it exploded on impact.

[@treska7688]

I can feel my brain melting. I thought that was just a metaphor - but no, I can really feel it.

I was at the Growlith section ( 2:50) when I remembered what day this was posted

[@Ultra-Necrozma155]

9:27 the moment I realized this is an April fools joke.

[@NikoTheJustOk]

what. THIS IS A APRIL FOOLS JOKE!!?? GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I COULD OF LIVED WITH THIS COOL SHIT.. whatever good job for making it up

[@DragonMaster-19]

The second time it happened took me way too long to figure out. It was still April fools day. 6:38

[@sophiebrodie6520]

I actually believed this before I saw the date

[@semihozen238]

Me: what the fuck are these *checks date* Me: oh it's April 2 okay these aren't jokes

Additionally... made up or not, the Macy's Pikachu balloon DID deflate, and there WERE Injuries. Not kids, but still.

[@skittycecil9786]

Love these totally legit facts, here’s a few you didn’t mention: -An unused Pokémon design from Red and Blue resembles a small Italian man with a red cap, overalls and a bushy moustache. Shigeru Miyamoto decided not to use it because he realized that instead of actually designing a pokemon, he just drew Mario again -The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games are based entirely off of real events -Satoshi Taijiri and Reggie Fils-Amie met in kindergarten, when they were arguing over which was the prettier color: red or green. Decades after this encounter, they decided to settle this debate once and for all by becoming game developers -Once while on a walk in the park, a gamefreak employee saw a baby crawl out of a bush, look him dead in the eyes, and whisper “If you want this to be a world of truth, is that not your ideal? Then, can truth and ideals really coexist? It gives one cause to wonder.” The baby was then immediately snatched up by a hawk. When asked if that baby was the inspiration for the beloved character N Harmonia, the employee was quoted as saying: “I don’t know. Sure. Shit’s wild.”

[@JosephShemelewski]

Watching this on not april 1st. I actually thought the gum thing was kinda believable although kinda gross but it just kept getting more unhinged. Also thanks for destroying my ear drums I never liked being able to hear anyway lol

"the pokewalker was made to trap pokemon and hold them hostage" my childhood suicune and pokewalker are forever lost, suicune a prisoner of time. miss ya bud

[@Femboy_Shota]

10:30 is Diabolical!

[@Bow1ng.pin-yt]

chat, i dont think these are real

[@melsbacksfriend]

I have a fact: Game Freak actually encourages people to have feelings for Pokémon and the copypasta was actually leaked from them, thus they hate it when furries are bullied and this is why Penny is the only member of Team Star who isn't based off the game freaks. She's instead based off a Pokémon fan named Ben who is often bullied in the community for being a furry. The idea of being a hacker is because Ben is a Nintendo Switch modder.

[@RedLeaf621]

2:22 "turns out if you shock a dead animal enough, it'll fucking explode" that's crazy 💀

[@Kwahlalwa]

Took me till the whole antenna thing for me to be like "hold up" and check to see if it was an April fools joke.💀

Aaa the goats actually uploading more then twice a month yay 0:18 ok I didn’t know that I saw it now I can’t unsee it 😭😆😂 I don’t know if I should laugh or cry 1:50 someone get this por rat help I just want to give it a hug 😭😭😭

[@AnimeGalOhio2288]

The ditto one is now a head canon (or I hope it real)

[@MattmonYT]

the penguin thing is actually somewhat real but for a school that had a duck come in.

Overworld Ability effects started since Emerald to BDSP. Those are fun that you have Pokémon actually helping you hunt as their training.

[@cottoncoffin]

Idk what it is but you have this voice that I find very calming to listen to Im hella depressed n idk these videos always make me feel things can’t be all bad

[@cormac1134]

I think you have underestimated the average pokemon fans ability to sit in a room all day and listen to fun facts

[@Megan-mf7cx]

If you are still doing your head canon series, I have one. At the end of every journey with the female protagonist Pikachu spend a little bit of time trying to teach Ash that the poke girl of that series liked him. I imagine Pikachu as a schoolteacher. Ash learns everything but because he forgot everything as soon as he sees an interesting Pokémon outside his window.

[@ChannelofNathaniel]

I got until fact 3 before I went to check the date this was uploaded

[@ROLO31]

this is actually my favorite april fools joke.. right next to the showdown sprites

I realized when he explained the growlithe origin

[@tirzahroseroot]

I just realized that this was an April fools video when you got to the Growlith fact

[@JustRusty193]

These are some cool facts anyway here's a brownie recipe: butter, white sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder · For the frosting: butter, cocoa powder, honey, vanilla extract, confectioners' sugar Melt the butter on the stove, then remove from heat and add the remaining wet ingredients. Beat in the dry ingredients. Spread the batter in the pan and bake.Frost the brownies stir the frosting ingredients together until well-combined, then frost the brownies while they are still warm. Cut into squares when cool.

[@theodoretekkers]

That reason why trainers wesr hats is interesting but terrifying.

[@link_V.2010]

the moment i realized this was an april fools joke is when he said dedene was based off an exploding rat, and dedene says nothing about exploding.

[@ivytime]

i didn't realize this was a joke until remembered the date

Finally, a KZbinr who just uploads like normal on the first day of April, finally a break from the jokes ;)

Ash’s dad actually is Mr. Mime and that’s why he’s so good at bonding with Pokémon. It’s hinted at in the first movie

10:39 Even though it is an April fools joke, this does sound like something Pikachu would do.

[@lixyo4320]

There’s actually an interesting story behind the pokemon ever made: Golbat One day a Gamefreak employee was fighting a bat & he punched it in the face so hard that its jaw broke, which gave him the idea to make Golbat According to some sources, the employee was also holding several ice cubes when he punched the bat, which was the inspiration behind the move Ice Punch & why Golbat is weak to it

[@thatoneaxolotlguy9969]

If you go to your living room and grab any doll you have and any pokemon game you have, and shout on top of your lungs: "GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!!!" you will encounter a bannete that will join your team in real life, the shiny rate of it will be 50% if you live with your parents and 99% if you are a kid and receive the belt and admit to stealing from your classmate and playing your nintendo switch when they went to sleep

The phone in GSC is a leftover toned-down version of a scrapped Japan-only feature from when Nintendo had intended to make it so that gameboy colors could connect to wifi signals and place calls in the real world. Originally, you didn't have a list of trainer numbers that would be saved, you were going to have to input real numbers of real people and if you used it to call an automated line, you'd be able to arrange for in-game rematches with trainers. Trainers would still call the player periodically during gameplay, but it was not limited to the ten slots the game gave you. The GBC R&D team decided that the microphone peripherals they could make would be too low quality to actually implement the feature and exposed too many of the limits of the GBC in terms of audio quality, so they removed it in a slapdash manner. A casualty of removal of the dialing feature was the removal of an easter egg fight where you dial 867-5309 and get to fight Officer Jenny from the anime (using her overworld sprite from Pokemon Yellow as well as a new battle sprite). She would have a team of two growlithes and if you won the fight you would be given an egg containing one of the Kanto starters at random.

Did you know that with wealth, fame, and power, king of the pokemon, Bi D. Oof, had it all. His dying words were as followed: “you want my treasure? You can have it. I left everything in one piece.” These words drove countless souls to the seas, in chase of their dreams. This began THE GREAT POKEMON ERA
