Numero One.
Psychic pokemon are possibly weak to Ghost, Bug, and Dark type pokemon, as they are all comon fears.


Numero Two.
British olympian Ashley McKenzie got into sports over a Charizard pokemon card. Once, when he was a kid, someone took his Charizard, but when he fought and tried to take it back, he lost. So then he decided to learnhow to beat the guy, became friends with him, and got the card back.

Numero Three.
In the original pokemon games, there was an old, grumpy man lying in the road. In the original Japanese version, he was actually drunk, but they changed for the target age group in the west.

Numero Four.
Both Doduo and Dodrio can fly. Both of these pokemon can fly, without wings, though in a very odd way. They move thier legs in a circular motion until achieving liftoff!

Numero Five.
In Yveltal's pokedex entry (depending on what you read) it says that "When this legendary pokemon's wings and tail feathers glow red, it absorbs the life force from all living creatures." 0_o

Numero Six.
There was a banned pokemon episode that aired in Japan that caused many who watched it seizures!!

Numero Seven.
Originally Jynx was black, but it was deemed too racist, so it was changed to purple. (Gee, I wonder why...)

When Paras evolves into Parasect, the mushrooms on it's back grow and take over the pokemon, explaining the glazed white eyes.

The fire starter pokemon seem to be based off of the Chinese Zodiac (Yes I am aware these are the evolvants)

Typhlosion: Rat
Charizard: Dragon (duh)
Infernape: Monkey

Numero Ten.
Mareep the sheep pokemon is a possible reference to a book 'Do androids dream of electric sheep?' This book was also the base for Blade Runner. o_0
