Basically each poster posts an interesting fact about pokemon (could be anything as long as its a fact. Don't post the same thing as another person if you can help it)

I'll start:

Did you know that Ash's Pikachu knows moves its only used once or rarely to date? Double-Edge it used during the Indigo Conference, Leer in episode EP150 when battling Houndoom, Tail Whip, Slam, Agility and ThunderShock. Since its been using Quick Attack and Volt Tackle, it rarely uses Tackle anymore
 
Did you know: that the move that Shaymin used in the movie are the same as the Toys'r'us giveaway Shaymin? In fact I think the first one!
 
Did you know that the only pokemon in Gen II games, Arkanine and Dratini, were the only pokemon to learn ExtremeSpeed, which meant no pokemon at the time got STAB from using it?

Gen III, only one pokemon got STAB from using extremespeed, and it was a special move only that came with a zigzagoon that could be obtained from completing box ruby and sapphire.

in Gen IV, two pokemon now get STAB from using this move. Togekiss and Arceus (not holding a plate) so the only pokemon to date that can be used in battle tower and official tournaments, that get STAB from extremespeed are the special zigzagoon from Gen III and Togekiss.

So extremespeed is one of the few moves that so little pokemon get STAB by using it.
 
Did you know that Qwilfish is the only pokemon that starts with the letter Q and doesnt have U after it!
 
Did you know that up until Platinum, outrage could only be learned by two pokemon, dratini line and rayquaza.

You stole that from Bulbapedia! Okay- Shadow Ball was first in gen II, though it was used in the first movie. Did you know that the move Struggle is the only move with no PP?
 
Did you know that in the Gen 1 games, Psywave was, in fact, a Normal-type move?

Did you know that in Yellow, you did NOT have to lose both the first and second optional battle with Gary to have him evolve his Eevee into a Vaporeon? You only had to throw the first battle, then for the rest of the times you met him, you can kick his butt as much as you want.
 
that dark type is the only type not have a gym, or an attack move over 100 base power. :mallet:
 
Did you know that Gen 2 was the only generation in which the first gym was not Rock-type? By extension, it is also the only region in which the Fire-type starter is not at a disadvantage at the beginning of the game (the grass-type, usually one of the more popular choices, is).
 
Did you know that in Gen 1, gust was a normal-type move. This caused Pidgey to not learn any flying type moves until evolved into a pidgeotto at level 37, as a pidgey at level 33, or by Pidgeot at level 38.
If you don't stop your pokemon from evolving at all, pidgey won't learn any flying type moves in Gen 1 untili a Pidgeot.
Wing attack is actually the only gen 1 flying type move there is that the pidgey line learns by levelling.

I did reasearch on the 'Pedia for this. Rather interesting...

Out of all the main series in game regions there is only one Ash has yet to visit, but it has been in Anime, the Sevii Islands and the only one to be shown in Anime (not movie) where Ash has been, not yet in a main series game, are the Orange Islands.
 
^^ Going off of that, did you know that in Gen 1, Sand-Attack, Karate Chop, and Bite were all also Normal-type moves?
 
Did you know that so far the move fly in the Anime has only been used for defensive measures or for gaining an attack advantage for a pokemon, not actually been used like it has in games?
 
Yea! he is ^_^

I got another one.. In Gen I the mysterious truck near the ss.anne was never found out to be used for anything!
