PokePark Wii is the only place where you can hear Porygon-Z's anime voice since it never appeared in the anime.

Smash 64 and Ultimate are the only places where you can hear what Porygon's anime voice would be in the dub.

A personal favorite of mine. Unown W's design in Gold/Silver was different than the current one. W's design was updated in Crystal to the current one we see today

Male Torchic's butt dot is a reference to chicken sexing.
A chicken sexer (this is a real career) will squeeze a chick and feel its cloaca. If a chick has a bump, it's a boy and chucked into the shredder.

Porygon has the highest base stat of the first stage of three stage evolutions. Also in PBR, there is audio that the wifi accessible only stage Lagoon Colosseum, was ment to be a tournament battle colosseum in the story mode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIYk9sr2ipw

Conker's bad fur day has a deleted scene where one on the game's villains "beats up" a pikachu before it wonders off.

Not sure if it's rare or not but Pikachu gave its name to a protein

It's not too well known, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's been included in a Did You Know Gaming video.
I think Pikachu, Sonic, and Dr. Robotnik are the only video game characters to have proteins named after them.

Ekans was planned to appear in Pokemon Snap, but ultimately was cut before the game was finished. Had it been included, the amount of pokemon in the game would have been 64.

Prehistoric Pokemon Timeline
>Unknown Time Period
-Anorith/Armaldo*
-Carbink**

>300 Million Years Ago (Late Carboniferous Period)
-Kabuto/Kabutops
-Genesect

>100 Million Years Ago (Middle Cretaceous Period)
-Shellder/Cloyster
-Omanyte/Omastar (ancestor of Octillery)*
-Lileep/Cradily*
-Relicanth***
-Cranidos/Rampardos
-Shieldon/Bastiodon
-Tirtouga/Carracosta (Ancestor of "most" Turtle Pokemon)
-Archeops/Archen (ancestor of bird Pokemon)
-Tyrunt/Tyrantrum
-Amaura/Aurorus

>"Age of Dinosaurs" (245-66 million years ago)
-Aerodactyl

*Mention living in the primordial seas, which could mean they were alive before at least the triassic

**Carbink are said to take a hundreds million years to form, so they would have to at latest begun to form sometime 200 Million years ago, but it's very plausible for some to have been active during the cretaceous

**Relicanth is considered the most perfect lifeform
