Barbaracle

Yungoos

Gumshoos

Vanillish

Quilladin

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is an Easter egg findable in Rustboro City, involving the Ace Trainer who gives the player a Float Stone. After giving it to the player, he will explain its effect of halving the holder's weight. If the player then leaves and re-enters the floor, the Ace Trainer has turned into a Hiker, who tells that he has put on a lot of weight recently for some reason.

Yeehawgust Day 1: Gather the Posse

A posse can be a guy and his two best friend cat-fox-dog creatures, right? Since the Orre region is the closest we’ve gotten to a Western setting in Pokemon, it seemed appropriate for the theme. Pokemon Colosseum will always hold a special place in my heart.

Trying to keep things fast and loose this Yeehawgust and using Adobe Fresco for the first time.

i wanna nominate Will from the Johto Elite 4 for the title of "one of the funniest trivia sections on Bulbapedia"

Just the back to back of "for a while people thought he only had one eye. He shares a lot of similarities with an earlier elite 4 member, in position, team composition, and design. He and his pokemon are transgender"

#Pokemon #Bulbapedia #Honestly Everything about the last part fascinates me. Why is any of it a thing and why specifically in Crystal and not Gold/Silver. And #Sharing that with Bugsy- a character famous for gender ambiguity when Will is just Some Guy. And a feminist for having an all female team #Also I think funniest trivia would probably default to flint Mr ''2 fire type'' fire type elite four member. With 3 sunny days. And lopunny

merry holidays, trainers!! quick bulba psa:

when accessing bulbapedia or our forums, you may have noticed a cloudflare connection checker thingy displaying before you get to your destination! that's normal! tldr we were getting some strange traffic recently and it was really making the site lag, so additional temporary protection was put into place in order to stop that. once more backend stuff happens it should be fully okay, but thanks for bearing with us! o7

#ddosed(??) on christmas... what a Story lol.. #bulbagarden #bulbapedia

Cetitan has the longest cry of any Pokémon, being 4.007 seconds long.

headcannoning Bulbapedia to be an actual information website within the pokemon world. mostly cuz of the idea of a teacher saying "No, Bulbapedia is not a reliable source! Anyone can edit it. If you want information that you know is good then just go out and catch the Pokemon yourself!"

Ash and Red: Timeline of Appearances

I plan to make a long essay talking about the connection between Ash and Red throughout the Pokémon franchise, but since the franchise is over 27 years old, and much of the old Internet is scattered and lost to time, I decided to make a timeline of the early years of Pokémon to compile all the evidences in chronological order, most consisted of their first appearance, the mention of their names in various media, some forums talking about the two, and any other misc information. I also included links to each specific media to keep track of where I found such information whenever necessary.

I know for certain that I'm missing some media here or there, but I'll be updating this post whenever I find new information. If you have any new information, I'll be happy to include it in this massive timeline doc.

Also note, the timeline will not extend beyond 2010 because by that point, Ash and Red have been officially considered to be two distinct characters. This is merely a timeline to document how Red rose into prominence in the Pokémon fandom and at what point was he considered to be a separate character from Ash rather than just Ash with a different name.

February 27th, 1996: Pokémon Red and Green came out in Japan. The player Pokémon Trainer made his debut. Three optional names were offered in Pokémon Red: レッド Red, サトシ Satoshi and ジャック Jack. Three optional names offered in Pokémon Green: グリーン Green, シゲル Shigeru, and ジョン John.
