This is almost as bad as "Ekans/snake, Arbok/kobra, Muk/???".
Mewtwo: I wish we could ban all Poke-facts from this thread.
As someone who was already in college when Pokemon first got big, I often wish for an "ignore feature" that prevents anything related to Pokemon from even being visible in this otherwise-full-of-awesomeness thread.
(Yeah, I guess I'm a hater. Sorry, Poke-fans.)
Fredrick said:I say Pokemon, without specific title because I have done my best to totally ignore anything Pokemon since it's first iteration. Simply because I thought it was for kids. That's what it looked like, people talked about it like that, and kids seems to like Pokemon, so. And I never even bothered reading a review. I mean it was for kids, right? Why would I care?
So believe me when I say that I was a bit sceptical booting up Pokemon SoulSilver, my first Pokemon ever, yesterday.
5 hours later, batteries completely run out, I'm sitting there grinning from ear to ear like a kid on Christmas Eve...
What the...?
This is actually good?!
I mean... What?! I can't believe this! It's frickin awesome! I love it!
And I've missed out on it for like what, 10 years?! Just because I thought it was just for kids!
Straight from /v/
See their legs?
my mind was blown, not sure if this is common knowledge or not
im suprised you guys didnt know the star fox team are amputees. maybe youre young. anyway i wish nintendo would go back to the awesome snes starfox team. seems like every new game they make them crappier instead.
poke-fans hate stupid facts like that, too. they're usually posted by people who only really loved the original games/anime.
Something I think is known but it may blow a few minds.
In Pokemon Blue & Red, there's an hotel in Celadon City. It contains a invisible computer that works exactly like Pokemon Centers' computers.
You can see it here.

But who is the "World Warrior"?
Almost all of us are into the games think the "mindblowing" PKMN posts are among the worst things posted in this thread.As someone who was already in college when Pokemon first got big, I often wish for an "ignore feature" that prevents anything related to Pokemon from even being visible in this otherwise-full-of-awesomeness thread.

Made me think of Shawshank Redemption, personally.Hmm, what does not knowing that have to do with being young, and how young are you talking about? Personally I reckon it has more to do with whether you have that in depth knowledge of pilots and gravity and stuffs (which I didn't until I read this thread).
I remember looking at the cover and thinking initially that they were people in costumes, and then I spotted how thin the ankles were and realised they must be puppets because a human ankle couldn't fit there. Never thought much past that though, but it seems to make sense.
Interesting that the later games didn't continue it on though... Maybe they have interchangeable legs?
Regarding the Capcom cow, it's a secret bonus item that appeared in games like Strider (1989) but -as I know, but can't confirm- debuted in Side Arms (1986).Then there's the famous Capcom Cow, but i don't remember the meaning of that. Maybe from gunsmoke, not sure.
The Barrel comes from sonson or higemaru. Or maybe that's two names for the same game.
Uhh, you got an official source for that? Because I'm pretty sure their feet/legs look that way because the puppets originally used for the illustrations needed the metal feet to stand up and be posable. As soon as Nintendo stopped using the puppets, the characters had normal looking legs.
Why was I never told if you press start in 3rd gen double battles your health bar turn to numbers if you wanted to ?!?!?!?
Has this been mentioned? (It's not that big but still):
Link does not have a sword/shield strap in the Wind Waker
How does he do that?
Velcro. Hylian velcro.
Neither does Young Link's model in Ocarina of Time, though he does in the artwork. And he has one in Majora's Mask.
You're right. They did add it to Link's models in OoT 3D though.
That's a pretty weird design choice but I guess they just want to keep his model as simple as they can get it..... or maybe it is just magic velcro.
Oxymoron. All velcro is magic

@StarFox metal legs
I don't buy that 'metal legs to make them better pilots' story at all. Pretty sure that's made up, there is no source for it.
I remember reading that the metal legs were used because they ran out of materials for the lower parts of the puppets' bodies.
'Rocks' doesn't mean 'is attractive'.apparently..when i made the connection, That rubbed me all sorts of wrong..but thats a whole other threads worth of discussion so i'll leave it at that.

I just found out that these Mario games existed. Not quite a secret, but pretty weird.

Well, I thought they were pine cones.
Just read it on reddit, but :OOOOO
Yeah that's not very mind-blowing.
It sure is rusty. Shouldn't it be grayish?
