This thread definitely deserves mention of Burmy. He's one of the only Pokemon whose Bulbapedia talk page actually includes people not realizing the two sprites were different at all!

At this point, I basically use the Master Ball on any Pokemon I want to save-reset for IVs, to alleviate what would otherwise be a laborious task. Used to be, I never used Master Balls, since I was always afraid of encountering something that needed it more. 'cept in Gen I, where that thing...

Old Chateau was pretty creepy for me. Even when I deconstructed everything down into programming, I still couldn't really feel comfortable there. I wanted to never return there... but it's the best place for Sp.Atk EVs in that game. >_< I also found the Underwater Ruins off of Undella to be...

Yeah, I know how it works. I alluded to that "hits same-type only" in the post. But, really how often does it come up that not only do you and your opponent share a type, but you also know Synchronoise, AND it's more powerful than any other option you might have at that point? Literally the...

Synchronoise. Seriously, what's the point of this move? In all the battles I've fought, in all the times I've seen it used, not once has it actually hit. I mean, Splash has an excuse. Splash does exactly what it's supposed to do, without fail; it's just that what it's supposed to do is...

I think he's just really, really unlucky or lazy, so the only Pokémon he can actually capture are the ones that bounce onto the land and flop around until they hit a Poké Ball and are captured entirely by accident. The one in Gen V must have really taken some perseverance, though, since not...

The only time I've ever cheated was back in Generation I, voluntarily exploiting the Mew Glitch to get a Mew. (Mainly because I lived out in the middle of absolutely nowhere, so I couldn't get to any event.) I didn't own a Gameshark, so I had limited options. Of course, nowadays we live in a...

I name my team members (and only them, trade fodder is either left alone or, pre-V, named as the lower-case equivalent of their name) based off of celestial objects. Usually this means names based on Roman and Greek mythology, as those are what most planets and moons out there are named after...

It's been long enough that I forgot what I named my rival in Gen I/II. Sapphire had fixed rival names (I think? o.o') and FireRed got him the overdone name Gary. For Diamond, I named my rival Marcus, since I felt that was kind of a fitting name, and it never really felt out of place. Even now...

Exactly my point. :3 I'm beginning to think that the only reason it wasn't in B/W in the first place was because it was probably too late to add it into development when HGSS integrated the idea. Or maybe they didn't yet have walking designs for all of the Unova Pokémon? After all, they...

While technically programmed into the game, I always found it baffling and yet hilarious that skillful trainers (such as those found in the Battle Subway, or, say, Caitlin of the Elite Four,) aren't clever enough to realize something might be amiss when their Psychic attacks are just bouncing...

While cleaning my boxes out after a breeding project, I accidentally released my near-flawless Hustle Nidoran M that I had spent the last week trying to get. Nearly gave me a heart attack (figuratively)... very luckily, my last save still had it in unhatched-egg-form.

I don't know about same-gen continuity... after all, Walking Pokémon was kind of introduced in the middle of a generation to begin with. And it's not like Emerald or Platinum didn't have noticeable differences compared to the games they were the third version to. Besides, if it's a toggle (say...
