What Wattsonian reason is there for moves like Rest and Slack Off to have PP? For most moves, PP can be seen as a measure of how much effort a moves takes to perform, with running out of PP being akin to exhaustion. But that angle doesn't really work for moves whose entire conceit is that the...

Clefable does the opposite of aura farm. It just there looking cute with its bunk-ass stats being irrationally strong. The Piccolo of Pokemon is Electivire. Or maybe that's the Yamcha. I haven't watched Dragon Ball in a long time.

That's kinda similar to what Stadium does, right? Except I think it was based on nickname and not personality value.

They actually had a Horizons episode about that. If I remember correctly, they just called the single one Tandemaus, and when it's revealed the complete group is actually Maushold, they're like "oh I guess it wasn't Tandemaus all along, it was actually Maushold" So apparently, a single maus...

Marlon from Pokemon is the Water gym leader in Black 2 and White 2. Marlon from real is best known (by me) as the male lead from A Streetcar Named Desire, as well as The Godfather from The Godfather and the big important guy from that one movie based on Heart Of Darkness. He was also a method...

Some people just like playing Pokemon.

Spiders don't base their webs on their personal traumas, though.

Bulbapedia translates Mind Reader's japanese name as Mind's Eye, which is also how they translate Ursaluna's Mind's Eye. However, their actual japanese names are completely different, with the move being こころのめ and the ability being しんがん. Does anyone know what the semantic differences between...

:xy/arceus: The event Arceus given out for the Hoopa movie had a moveset of Judgement, Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, and... Earth Power.

There's a genuinely solid pun to be made with "beauty" and "tuna" but I can't quite find it. Beauna? Beautuna? Teauna?

Oh speaking of Archaludon, a minor annoyance: the decision to give it a rain focus retroactively makes the bizarre decision to give Raihan a sand theme even more bizarre.

That's just Legends Arceus, innit? Everyone I've heard who loves the game says that sneaking around hucking balls at things was their favorite part.

REALLY I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED
