ThePokemonfranchise has been releasing games since 1996, with the series quickly taking off and continuing to sell millions of copies with each new installment. With a newPokemongame being released almost every year for 25 years, it’s no surprise the franchise is full of odd and obscure facts that the average player wouldn’t come across.
Gamesradar first took note of the Reddit user by the name ofMx_Toniy_4869, who started posting random and obscurePokemonfacts back in December of 2020. The facts are truly strange, with many of them pointing out information that, although interesting at times, seems to result from a variety of different coding issues and inconsistencies between differentPokemongames.

Of course, there are many otherPokemonfacts that don’t fall into either of the above-mentioned categories. Such facts as the number of unused type combinations, for example, isa random Pokemon fact that requires a shrewd eye. For those that are interested in these obscure nuggets of information, Mx_Toniy_4869 has many more to share.
Although not all particularly eye-opening in any way,Pokemonfans that have followed the franchise throughout the years are sure to on more than one occasion think “interesting” as they read through the obscure facts. For more casualPokemonfans that have only picked up a few of the games, it’s possible most of these facts won’t make much sense in the end. ThePokemonfacts surprisingly require a fair amount of researchand cross-checking between the different titles, as some of them made general statements about a Pokemon which couldn’t have been made unless checked in each installment.
Because of how random some of thePokemonfacts are, one has to imagine that some of these behaviors in the games are accidental. TakePokemon evolutions, for example. According to fact 213 from Mx_Toniy_4869, no Pokemon gains the normal or bug type when they evolve, and no middle-stage Pokemon is a pure ground or pure dark type. It’s random and obscure, ultimately not meaning much in the end, and there doesn’t seem to be any particular reason as to why these Pokemon types work this way, but it’s very intriguing.
The amount of strange and obscure facts that are listed is quite impressive, too. WhilePokemongames have been around for more 25 yearsnow, this fan has clearly kept up with all of them. With new games on the horizon, it’ll be interesting to see if the upcoming titles have any oddities in them that would make for some fun and interesting facts. ThesePokemondetails are most likely not going to interest those that aren’t already familiar with thePokemonfranchise, but for those that are, more than 200 of them are currently up on Reddit to enjoy.
