Can we have a thread for true yet pointless Pokemon trivia /vp/?

I'll start

Excluding Mew Golem is the only Pokemon you never seen in Blue/Red/Yellow as no trainers ingame have one meaning the only way you can see one is to evolve a Graveler yourself or have a friend trade you one

I'm sure the fossilmons aren't used in R/B, do they appear somewhere in Yellow?

no trainers in gsc use a skarmory. the entirely optional route 45 is your only chance to see one, and it's only a 5% appearance rate.
the "skarmory is a gen 3 mon" mandela effect stems from this.

Same thing as Slugma I suppose. Lots of people seem to think Slugma and Macargo were a Gen3 mon as it hardly appears in gen2

I think only Blaine has one and that's it

What's more likely?
That a handful of people didn't know or that we jumped timelines.
Obviously the latter.

Gorebyss and Huntail have the same issue, although no one associates them with a different generation since Clamperl isn't exactly a common sight in the next game. No trainer uses either of them.
They're probably in the running for Pokémon seen in the least amount of ingame teams.

i'd bet my left nut on them being at the top.
trade evo WITH a hard to find item, and on top of that to even access clamperl you need dive which necessitates you already having a water mon.
you're not going to figure out how to get them without a guide, and if you're using a guide you'll see that they're dogshit and not actually bother using them.
even chimecho, rare as it is, can just be stumbled upon and maybe you don't have a psychic type at that point so you pick it up.

Same thing as Crabhammer for Kingler except that one is more obvious given it's the only crab like Pokemon and was supposed to be somewhat of a signiture move

Legit the only pokemon I hate. Acts like there is some deep lore behind it when fucking Butterfree has more lore. Not even a remotely usable pokemon. At least other shitmons evolve into something or they at least had some sort of gameplan for the mon. But Unown is legit just a waste of time.
Like the 3rd Movie hyped them up was some legendary tier force only for them to be some first gym shitmon. They’ve had over two decades to try to give Unown some useful gimmick.

It got it in PLA as a environmental mon. Not every shitmon needs to have battle use.

Yes but it wasn’t a usable Pokemon anymore, it was more like a Zygrade cell. I actually liked that change.

I think it's neat how the older games had some mons that were this rare. Imagine being a kid and showing your friends this awesome metal bird that they've never seen before.

More important than that, they changed Hidden Powers mechanics so Unown is actually somewhat worthwhile on a team if you choose to use it.

I used to think if you have a certain combo of Unowns in your party they'd get unique moves. I think I read this in Nintendo Power or something. That would be a pretty cool gimmick.

Pokémon games and anime used to have real languages for their font. Now, all font that is not actively part of the gameplay gets slapped with blurs or near-indecipherable fake alphabets.
