Also, what is fun about the box art of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and especially the way you presented them -
The box art appears the same way as you would insert the Cartridges into a DS:
The DS from above, looking down to the GBA slot on the bottom! Neat

Misleading title: I am always asking “When will PaPaSea give me more of that sweet sweet obscure Pokemon trivia?”

[StickMaster]

Another fact I just found out today is that FireRed and LeafGreen are the only games in the series where the Tiny Mushrooms and Big Mushrooms actually have a practical use rather than just something to sell as this game's item for the Move Reminder on Two Island

It makes sense that Legends Arceus doesn't have the Master ball, since the Master Ball was invented by Silph Co. in the Gen1 games. I would say technically the Origin ball serves as the master ball purpose, it's just you are forced to use on a certain Pokemon.

Oh, I thought the Reshiram/Zekrom thing was well known at this point! That's actually the reason why you unlock a box in SwSh after catching Eternatus, too - Since it's a mandatory catch, guaranteeing you have space in the box when you catch it makes sure you can't softlock yourself by filling up all your slots.

The fact that those legendaries have a gender isn't useless, because it means that they can be affected by moves like Attract.

Smeargle's tail was originally Red-colored, at least in the Gen2 games that were the case. Coliseum and Gale of Darkness just followed the Gen2 games so that's not their fault.
The reason I know this was because I was playing VC crystal this month and I went to catch Smeargle, found a red-tailed one thought OMG I found a shiny! But turned out it wasn't.

It's not that it's hard to change shedinjas ability, it's the fact that if you randomize wonder guard on Shedinja, it enters the general pool of abilitys to go on other pokemon, and in generations pre-gen 6 there would be pokemon immune to damage. Just a balance reason as to why it's never randomized

I don't know how to accurately explain this, but the Floaroma Meadow flower arrangement in BDSP is just slightly off from the original layout in Diamond and Pearl. You'll only notice if you count the exact flowers in both games, paying attention to the colors and how many there are. It seems like a mistake rather than a distinct choice. I wouldn't even bother mentioning this if it weren't for the fact it's basically the definition of an obscure pokemon fact that no one would ever ask for lol

Just occurred to me the way red and blue rescue team box arrived is laid out also correlates to where the cartridge slots were on both consoles

[hhjan]

It's pretty common for Pokemon characters to be named after plants in Japanese, even Bill's name in Japanese can be explained as a kind of tree in some way. It's more likely the localization of Bebe's name started the trend of computer-related things because she obviously got her Japanese name before the other languages.

On a similar note to 'Magical Pokémon Journey.' They ran a contest while it was still running where people could submit designs that could be turned into actual Pokémon. While it was only exclusive to that series specifically.

As for the Nuzleaf/Grass Whistle fact, assuming you're correct, it's even more weird due to Nuzleaf literally using the move Grass Whistle in an episode of the anime 😂

Voltorb Flip is actually a bad mini game imo. It doesn't matter how good you are, you'll still lose a lot. There will always be boards that can't be cleared with logic and skill alone and they will require guessing. It's a game of chance like previous gambling mini games. The only reason Voltorb flip doesn't count as gambling is because you don't buy in with your own money.

[KuriMaster]

The Smeagale thing is because the model was recycled from an older game when the Pokémon had red paint on it's tail in it's non-shiny form before getting that changed for gen 3.

[forgerofsouls]

The speed stat is not tied to the physical speed of the Pokemon, but, rather, the Pokemon's reflexes. And when you think of it that way, it makes perfect sense why certain high-speed Pokemon, like the one covered and Rhyhorn have low speed stats. And this also explains why Pokemon that would obviously not be fast on their feet have high speed stats, such as Slaking or Eiscue when it's ice block is broken. Do not try to convince me that this little penguin can out run a talonflame or weavile.

This is something I feel lots of people have overlooked, and to be fair, I did not really start to realize this till a few years ago, when I started to realize something about the stats in Dungeons and Dragons. So, speed is not about physical speed, though, that might still play a part, but, is more about reflexes.

Nuzleaf not being able to learn GrassWhistle despite its Pokédex entry saying it can use its leaf like a flute isn’t the only example of a Pokémon’s move pool not reflecting its Dex entry. Here are a few other examples

-Watchog’s Pokédex entry states that it likes to spit seeds even though it can’t learn Bullet Seed
-Vullaby’s entry states that it can’t fly because it’s a baby bird but it in fact can learn Fly

As a Rom Hacker, I can confirm that Changing Shedinja's ability is just as easy as every other Pokemon.

[thutmosetoure]

Fun Fact: Smeargle's original normal and shiny sprites in gen II were red and green respectively. They were later switched in gen III.

[PrinceTalonSabre]

The reason the randomizer doesn't change shedinja's ability is because it's HP is hardcoded to always be 1.
It's just more fair (for shedinja) that way.
