107 Pokémon Facts You Should Know | The Leaderboard

hey everybody Jen from the leaderboard here and today we're joined by a very special guest my puppy Mindy say hi Mindy so today on the leader board we're going to be giving you 107 Pokemon video game facts let's get started right number one the first Pokemon video game was released in Japan in 1996 makes me feel old fact number two it was created by a man named Satoshi Tajiri who as a child was obsessed with capturing and collecting bugs and tadpoles fact number three Satoshi was also obsessed with the Ultraman TV series where giant monsters will battle each other and they were collected in small capsules fact number four when Satoshi would see children playing with their game boys using the link cables he imagined creatures crawling back and forth between the games thus the Pokemon idea fell into place fact number five there are 24 core Pokemon games across six generations including remakes fact number six there are 74 total branded Pokemon games but there are many many others out there that use Pokemon as playable or unplayable characters Super Smash Brothers any one fact number seven there are currently 721 Pokemon way more than my original 151 do you remember the Pokemon wrap because I know it by heart fact number 8 each generation of Pokemon has a brand new region and they have different themes like winter or French theme fact number 9 generation 1 pokemon red and blue is known as the Pro Matic generation which features genetics and engineering so take a look at Mewtwo porygon and even the resurrection of fossils fact number 10 generation 1 is the only generation where there is no female playable character although looking at the files of the game it looks like the option was intended however she was added in later remakes known as leaf fact number 11 the original Japanese games were known as red and green with blue being an updated version with better graphics and sound fact number 12 although all the games let you choose your own name and the name of your rival the canon names are read for yourself and blue for your rival ashe and gary only became popular after the anime was released fact number 13 red has a Super Nintendo console in his birth fact number 14 all versions are red across all Pokemon media owned a Pikachu including ash from the anime the one exception is the character Satoshi from Pokemon zensho he involves his Pikachu into a right to fact number 15 in generation 1 pokémon red and blue had a lot of glitches that players like to exploit including the missed signal glitch which you could use to duplicate items many many times over 99 rare candy items anybody fact number 16 almost 20 years of the game being released people are still finding ways to manipulate the game code just recently in 2014 a speedrunner was able to put twitch chat inside of a Pokemon game why would you do that twitch chat is awful fact number 17 Reds rival sarcastically calls him a chatty gossip and the remakes of red and blue irony is red back number 18 the old man blocking your path in Viridian City he sends his grumpy because he hasn't had his coffee but in the original Japanese release he was GZA drunk passed out old man on the ground not exactly kid-friendly mid Tendo fact number 19 Professor Oak was meant to be a final boss in the game but was later removed he can still be fought through a convoluted series of glitches and exploits and his Pokemon team include Taurus executors Arcanine Gyarados and the final evolution of the Pokemon that you or blue didn't pick his Pokemon are at the highest level you face in the entire game let me know if you play Professor Oak back to number 20 technically pokemon yellow is an adaptation of an anime which is an adaptation of a video game following me so far fact number 21 you can find pokemons development team and sell it on the city when you complete your pokedex make sure you go back and talk to the lead developer and he will give you a diploma you're graduated Pokemon congratulations fact number 22 Gyarados was originally supposed to be a water dragon type but later was changed to water flying this is because the water dragon type basically had no weaknesses and this explains why Lance still has a Gyarados in his party even though Gyarados isn't dragon-themed which makes complete sense and enough fairies back then now fairies change the game fact number 23 vendor matt is originally supposed to evolve into Butterfree they have the same color the same eyes the same antennae sink teeth take a look for yourself makes sense doesn't it factor number 24 in the generation 1 Games red and blue liqueur tongue can't learn lick she knows like clicking tongue doesn't Oh fact number 25 all of the statues in the gyms of Pokemon Red and Blue can be served and fished on the Cerulean City Gym is the only one where you can actually find Pokemon to capture fact number 26 there is a very large rumor that the new in lavender town was causing children to fall ill and commit suicide it was later changed in the American release and the ruiers grew from there turns out it was originally changed because the shrillness of the music were giving a lot of people headaches maybe not so much the suicide thing but it's freaky music fact number 27 generation 2 pokemon gold and silver is known as the metallic generation which focuses on mythology and tradition as example take a look at the legendary pokemon added unknown and kimono girls back in over twenty eight pokemon gold and silver were hinted at two years before it was released when the pokemon ho-oh made an appearance in the anime I for one was very confused as a child in this Pokemon appeared because I had no idea what it was and like I said before I had memorized the original 150 Pokemon wrap factor number 29 the protagonists in generation 2 were named Ethan and Chris they had TVs in their rooms with no video games fact number 30 generation 2 begins three years after the first game fact number 31 gold and silver introduced the fewest number of Pokemon at only a hundred only 100 simpler times simpler times fact number 32 a lot of things have changed in Kanto from generation 1 to generation - there's a new train running from Saffron City Team Rocket is in complete disarray from the actions of red and Cinnabar Island is destroyed by a volcano pack number 33 the optional final boss in generation 2 is the champion red from generation 1 red has no dialogue which symbolizes him as a silent protagonist from first game fact number 34 the final boss read in generation 2 his Pokemon are based on all of the events that happened in generation 1 red and blue and pokemon yellow fact number 35 until their release and oh c'mon platinum Red's Pikachu was the highest level Pokemon you could encounter in the game at level 81 fact number 36 Ethan is the only male protagonist to ever meet ash in the anime fact number 37 the dark and steel type pokemons were introduced in generation 2 to balance out the overpowered psychic pokémon and the underused fighting Pokemon a new type would not be introduced until later Pokemon X&Y with the fairy type then things got real crazy fact number 38 there was a trainer in the original release called fire breather dick unsurprisingly his name was later changed fact number 39 a bootleg Vietnamese translated version became very popular dude it's nonsensical and almost offensive dialogue on offense game you play this version fact number 40 the love ball was originally supposed to make Pokemon of the opposite gender easier to catch however due to faulty programming the love ball only made it easier to catch pokemon of the same gender very progressive of you Game Freak accidentally progressive but progressive fact number 41 the Pokemon Meryl was originally referred to as pika blue even promotional cards for Pokemon the first movie uses named fact number 42 the Pokemon is 0 which is the evolved version of Meryl has a different gender ratio than Meryl so you have a slight chance of changing gender when your pokémon evolves into a zero fact number 43 in early builds of the game noubar town was called silent Hills unsurprisingly this was changed speaking of which does anyone want a 107 Silent Hill video because I'll do it I love horror games fact number 44 the Pokemon company CEO thought gold and silver were going to be the very last Pokemon games and thank God he was wrong fact number 45 the only Pokemon type in gold and silver that doesn't have a specialized gym or a leaf or member is the ground type fact number 46 Pokemon silver was way more popular than pokemon gold sorry pokemon gold fans fact number 47 generation 3 ruby and sapphire are known as the advanced generation because they were released on Gameboy Advance

landscapes fact number 49 the generation 3 protagonists are Brendon and Mei and both have GameCube games in their rooms fact number 50 Mei is the first female protagonist to have a serious role within the anime fact number 51 ruby and sapphire were the only games to feature both of the protagonists parents fact number 52 it is possible to breed a skinny weighs 23 pounds and a whale Lord which weighs 177 pounds together try not to picture that fact number 53 there is a trainer couple in generation 3 called Lois and how which is a reference to the show malcolm in the middle' fact number 54 a braille guide was included in the game manual to help players solve a puzzle to get to three of the legendary pokemon didn't have the manual that's what the Internet's for track number 55 over a

4 games were all about legends myths and the history of the universe the godlike legendaries and people's fascination with stories all tied into this theme fact number 58 the starter pokemon of generation 4 all evolved into pokemon based on mythology and poli on is based on decided Torterra is based on the world turtle and Infernape is based on some back number 59 the protagonists of diamond and pearl are Lucas and Dawn and both have a Wii in their room factor number 60 changes to pokemons base stats and the simplification of training but generation four is battling seen being much more popular than the rest fact at number 61 generation four is the first generation where you can legitimately obtain a level one Pokemon before in red and blue if you had a level one Pokemon this was a glitch and would instantly level up to 100 if within the first battle would receive less than 50 for experience points fact number 62 one myth in the Japanese version of the game implies that people and pokémon could marry one another the way back in the day fact number 63 the English translations of generation four featured numerous references to internet memes and chat speak funny coincidence is that the lead translator is a member of something awful forums fact number 64 generation 5 has the first direct sequel with black and white and black and white 2 fact number 65 generation 5 focuses

region is the first region that features more female trainers than males miss includes gyms fact number 75 in generation 6 Pikachu is voiced by the same actress as the TV series rather than a generic growl in the previous game fact number 76 the world record speed run for red and blue with no glitches took one hour and 48 minutes which is crazy fast it took me like a month to beat that game when I was a kid fact number 77 the general strategy for that speedrun was to get a needle King as early as possible who's really availabilty strong base stats and TM oops flexibility made it an easy Pokemon to complete the game fact number 78 you can manipulate the game's memory using glitches to allow you to complete the hall of fame in less than 5 minutes basically you can just warp to the hall of fame and you're done fact number 79 each of the games regions is based on a real area in the world Kanto is based on Kanto Japan dodos based on Kansai Poland is based on Kyushu sinal is based on Hokkaido

93 Pikachu's pokedex number is 25 and in the Alps is 52 and in the anime they are rivals fact number 94 there are no dark-type gyms which makes me sad because that's my favorite type of Pokemon fun gen fact my favorite Pokemon is Umbreon close it back to number 95 the term SHINee was actually fan-created shiny refers to Pokemon with different color variations and are often much stronger than their original counterparts but very rare SHINee wasn't adopted until black and white is official canon fact number 96 it is said that the Pokemon Voltorb and electro didn't exist until pokeballs were
