== Fridge Brilliance ==
* It's been mentioned on other pages that Cheren is said to be a strong trainer while Bianca is a weak one, despite her team being objectively better than his. The thing is that the producers are going back to Karen's speech back in the Johto
** Except Bianca clearly adores her Munna/Musharna and her Pokemon all reach maximum happiness, so she's the nurturer of the two.
** Having faith does not imply nurturing, per se. A general in the army (hopefully) would believe in his subordinates, but barely ever "adores" them.
** It could also be argued that Cheren does so well because he has goals and strives toward them. Bianca doesn't, so her Pokemon don't get enormously better each time you see her because she isn't pushing them to become better.
* In the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
** And for all we know, this could even be a [[Development Gag]]!
* The name team Plasma... just think about the types of the two legendary dragons and you will realize how they got their name.
* The HUD in the Japanese version is [[Gratuitous English|more-or-less bilingual]]
* Throhs always travel in packs of five. There are (usually) five people in a Judo team.
* Sigilyphs are said to have once guarded an ancient city, which explains what they're doing in the Resort Desert.
Line 17:
** Also to the antagonistic relationship of the two major political parties in America, the {{color|red|R}} and {{color|blue|D}}.
** Also the rivals of the original games.
** [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
* The state shell of New York is the scallop. [[Don't Explain the Joke|See that thing on Oshawott's chest? And that region you're playing in?]]
* Drillbur bears a strong resemblance, particularly in its facial expression, to the Mischievous Mole enemy from ''[[
* Goletts are golems created by an ancient civilization and are only found in the Dragonspiral tower. They were probably built to defend Reshiram/Zekrom.
** That, or, given how destructive their power is said to be, in order to ''keep them in there''... plus Golurk is said to be programmed to defend people and Pokemon, and Ground happens to be super effective against both dragons' secondary typings. Which would possibly mean that the creators of Golett and Golurk were trying to prevent something like the events of the game from happening...
*** I'd like to combine both theories by saying, that Goletts and Golurks were built to keep people like Team Plasma from taking Reshiram/Zekrom AND/OR stop the dragon if it were to be caught.
** The Gol family can't learn any moves from breeding. Since when did statues breed?
* Durant's Dream World ability is Truant. [[Exactly What It Says
** It would probably ''need'' a day off, considering how often it gets attacked by Heatmor...
** This could also mean that Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour (plus their evolutions), having Overgrow/Blaze/Torrent as their hidden abilities, just want to be loved as much as the starters. Bet you feel bad for ditching them after the first gym...
** Following that train of thought, Vanilluxe may want to lower its weight, or is S/M considering its hidden ability is weak armor.
** This could go with Tornadus and Thundurus wanting to break away from the force of Landorus!
** Also, Scraggy and Scrafty have "Intimidate". The little guys just wanna be perceived as the big, bad [[Damn, It Feels Good to Be
** Kangaskhan gets "Inner Focus". Well, the ability to never trip sure comes in handy when you're always carrying a baby.
** This Troper went on Bulbapedia to see some more of these. The most adorable is Cleffa, Clefairy, Igglybuff, Jigglypuff, and Happiny's; Friend Guard. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|They just want to help their friends.]]
Line 44:
** Banette: Cursed Body - It just wants to hurt everything it comes in contact with.
** Perhaps this belongs in the [[Fridge Horror]] section, but Slowpoke gets Regenerator. Let that sink in.<ref>Hint: Slowpoke tails are considered delicacies in and around Kanto/Johto.</ref>
** Paras and Parasect get
*** Mushrooms grow better in damp environments than dry ones.
** Onix gets Weak Armor. [[Fake Ultimate Mook|Now why does that sound familiar?]]
** Caterpie, Weedle and Wurmple all got Run Away... [[What the Hell, Hero?|The guilt trip works...]]
** Qwilfish gets reassigned Intimidate. Oddly hilarious (and kind of adorable) from a puffer fish.
** Corsola gets Regenerator,
** Smeargle's Moody is worth a laugh, too. As cliche as it is, there's a reason the phrase "Temperamental artist" exists...
** Goldeen and Seaking both get Lightningrod. The only reason for this can be their magnificent headpieces. "AIM FOR THE HORN!"
Line 68:
** [[Heartwarming in Hindsight]]?
* When you first fight the Elite Four, they make a few references to a previous challenger. {{spoiler|That was N. However, they didn't seem to care about the fact that they were swept by Reshiram/Zekrom. Before Black and White, a popular strategy against the Elite Four was to use the powerful and recently caught cover legendary. Maybe they're just used to this kind of thing.}}
* (
** This also explains why it has Focus Blast--
*** His Hydreigon has absurdly high Special Attack and knows the moves Fire Blast, Focus Blast, Surf and Dragon Pulse. Now look at the weaknesses of N's team: Reshiram/Zekrom: Dragon, Carracosta: Fighting, Zoroark: Fighting, Archeops: Water, Klinklang: Fighting and Fire, and Vanilluxe: Fire and Fighting. Now, factor in what would have happened if you weren't part of the plan.
* At first it's really disappointing that you can't have a Pokemon follow behind you like in HG/SS. But come to think of it, in Unova, you don't see a single Pokemon just hanging out outside. In houses, sure, but not outside like in Kanto. And Unova is an urban region, far away from the others and based on New York instead of Japan. Perhaps the rules are different, and having Pokemon out in public isn't socially acceptable the way it is in Kanto and Johto?
** Or perhaps it used to be, but Team Plasma has caused enough social strife that your player character deems flaunting their trainer status to be... unwise.
** Yet there is a Minccino in Lacunosa Town that sits by the edge of one of the walls until night time, when everyone goes inside. Its caretaker even states that he doesn't mind it wandering around because the Minccino will return by nightfall. Note that you can only visit Lacunosa Town after the main story was completed, but it is implied that the Minccino has been doing this for a while.
*** It could be that, since it appears that Team Plasma only started their "pleas" when you and your friends start your adventures, and then follow you around (coincidentally, one hopes), that they just never got round to the other side yet. The other two cities attract tourists (one's a battle plaza or a nice little forest, and the other a holiday destination) so it might be that those people have heard of them before and keep their Pokemon in their balls.
* For the Fridge Horror of Skyla's gym below, how much do ya wanna bet that Skyla herself uses that cannon to land against the wall feet first, [[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children|Tifa style]]?
* In the castle, a scientist mentions Teams Rocket and Galactic, but not Teams Aqua and Magma. This is a bit odd, until you remember that in Ruby and Sapphire, only the team that matched your version color was actually villainous.
** What about Emerald Version?
*** Then he'd have to say FOUR teams. In both real dialogue and those tiny textboxes it's a bit much.
** Or maybe it's just that it's been a long time since Magma and Aqua's schemes. The [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
*** That applies in real life too. Both HGSS and DPP came out fairly recently, whereas RSE came out quite some time ago. Considering the Hoenn games weren't even on the same system as BW, most of the younger fan base may not even recognize the names "Team Aqua" and "Team Magma."
* Deerling is found almost entirely in the part of Unova analogous to New Jersey. Anybody who lives in suburban [[Joisey]] can tell you how hilariously spot-on this is.
* Despite having a 87.5/12.5 male/female gender ratio, the event Zorua and Zoroark will always be male and female, respectively. Now, consider {{spoiler|the genders(and ages) of the illusion people they appear to be at first.}}
** There's not much to consider - they're suppose to be based on the ones from the movie, so they're mother and son.
* Why do the Plasma grunts occasionally scream "PLASMAAAA!" when they're beaten? [[Pokémon
** It's more likely a [[Shout
* Garbodor has a chance of carrying a nugget. Why? {{spoiler|[[Stealth Pun|One man's trash is another man's treasure!]]}}
* The desert route is essentially [[Gangsterland]]. Gangstahs? Check. (Scraggy/Scrafty) Crooks? Check. (Sandile/Krokorok/Krookodile) Pyromaniacs? Check. (Darumaka) If you ''really'' wanna stretch it, there's creeps (Frillish/Jellicant), Hobos (Dweeble/Crustle), and [[Unfortunate Implications|Hispanics]] (Maractus), too.
Line 90 ⟶ 91:
*** Drug users?
**** No, police. They exist to guard an ancient city (aka before all the crime waltzed in), but became corrupted by the influence of evil and the not-so-metaphorical destruction of that which they once protected.
**** I agree that they would be police, but not that they became corrupted. Notice how it's the rarest Pokémon in the area, and doesn't appear in the desert areas outside the
* Have you ever wondered why the incense dealer in Driftveil City is still wearing his Team Plasma uniform? Well how likely would you have noticed him if he was dressed like an ordinary civilian?
* Ghetsis' signature Pokemon is Hydreigon. {{spoiler|Hydreigon is based off Orochi, an evil god from Japanese mythology, fitting his evil nature.}}
Line 97 ⟶ 98:
** That or he's charming the Pokemon in the local area to help him out, letting them go home when he leaves the area.
*** This makes sense considering that, {{spoiler|aside from his team at N's Castle}}, all of the Pokémon he uses are from the surrounding area of where you fight him.
* Some Team Plasma members are really [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]s while
* The depiction of Ghetsis and Team Plasma in general. Ghetsis is the chief sage of the Team Plasma sages, who are styled like priests. Since N is the king and the Plasma grunts are knights, the sages would represent the Church, who were allied with the king and knights in holy crusades during the middle ages. To Team Plasma, freeing Pokemon is their holy crusade. Thus Ghetsis and his true intentions represents lies, hypocrisy, and corruption of a person who knowingly and maliciously takes advantage of beliefs held sacred by people and twists them into something to suit his dark, selfish ends. He even holds public sermons and preaches on the matters, when in reality he's full of crap. But it gets worse from there: he's outed as an [[Evil Sorcerer]] type person who's scheming to take power as a tyrannical, despotic dictator. Hiding this under the ruse of priesthood makes him the lowest scum possible for the series, so thus he gets a makeover once everyone knows what he truly is. He keeps his pointed, horn-like hairstyle, but now wears a black and red visor on his right eye (his left eye is already red.), wraps himself in a [[Black Cloak]] with creepy eyeball symbols decorating it, and carries around a staff with the Plasma insignia that is almost pitchfork-esque at a certain glance. So not only has Ghetsis gone from dark priest to all out [[Evil Overlord]], but he's essentially styled as [[The Devil]] himself. His original name, G'Cis Harmonia, can even be translated as "the Devil in music." His battle theme sounds like a [[Dark Reprise]] to that of Arceus, the God Pokemon, and the opening for the "Episode N" arc of the anime even has him set against a red, fiery, flaming backdrop as he throws back his cape in a very Devil-like fashion. Based on the man's actions and behavior, it's hard not to see this depiction as fitting, but then it really hits you...''Satan was running the Church!'' Is there perhaps some disturbing commentary on religious groups of [[Knight Templar]] zealots here?
* The elemental monkeys' names already made sense, but Pansear's is especially apt, considering the first place you're likely to see/use it-- the Striation Gym, which doubles as a restaurant. What do you want to bet that Chili is an expert at pan-searing entrees? ▼
** Ghetsis can also be seen as playing an evil version of Merlin to N's King Arthur, and also an inversion - rather than helping the king claim the throne, he's using the king to help ''him'' claim the throne.
** It gets worse - some Biblical Scholars believe that the concept of [[The Antichrist]] would have a misshapen or scarred right side, including his right eye and right hand. Not only does Ghetsis match that description, but he also has the deceptive charisma to sway people into following him and his alleged cause as well as the desire for world domination that are also primary Antichrist qualities. So Ghetsis is the Pokemon Worlds' [[Satan]] ''and'' [[The Antichrist]], with N being the false idol he's made for everyone to worship in service to his devilish agenda.
▲* The elemental monkeys' names already made sense, but Pansear's is especially apt, considering the first place you're likely to see/use
** A girl in Cafe Warehouse indeed confirms that the monkeys help the trio make tea.
** And in the manga, it's confirmed that the monkeys help the trio with more than just making the food.
Line 106 ⟶ 110:
* Ghetsis's theme is often said to sound like [[God|Arceus]], now who do you often think of as an [[Satan|evil version of God]]?
** Not to mention that his name is derived from G-Cis or a tritone, known as being part of the 18th Century "The Devil in Music." {{spoiler|That's [[Complete Monster|more than fitting.]]}}
*** Also fitting for a man with a name based on the TRItone, he has THREE horn-like strands of hair.
* It ties in with [[Fridge Horror]], but Zwelious has two brains. Hydreigon has three heads, but one brain. The fact it takes the longest of any Pokemon to evolve makes sense; the heads don't want to die/be merged!
* Approaching the Giant Chasm is stated on the Town Map to bring disaster. The route leading up to it is Route 13; an unlucky number indeed, but not the real brilliance. One of the Pokemon that appears on the route is Absol, the Disaster Pokemon.
** Not only that, its warnings have been stated in the Pokédex go ignored and often being a
** [[The Woobie|It just want to warn us]] [[Cosmic Horror|from what is hidding there]].
* How does a Pokemon Center stay open when it performs totally free services? One good way to keep finances coming in? Merge it with the Poke'Mart.
* Why does Zekrom's Fusion Bolt appear as [[Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning|blue lightning]]? It is meant to show opposition against Reshiram's red Fusion Flare, similar to the Basculin example above.
* Why is Excadrill so small (2'4")? If it and Krookodile were ''really'' intended to be homages to ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', then it woule be the ideal size for an [[Fastball Special|EXCADRILL IMPACT!!!!!]]
* Upon beating the Elite Four for the first time, you skip the Champion and go on to fight N instead, making this game the first in the series where you don't face the champion during the main playthrough, right? Well, considering that N cleared out the Elite Four and the Champion right before you in presumably official matches, N technically ''was'' the champion at that point. Much like the protagonists in each generation (including Black and White), N simply declined to hold onto his title after the end credits.
* Why can't you trade items over Poke Transfer? Gameplay reasons, of course, but considering that you're in Poke America, it's more fun to assume that the TSA is involved somehow.
* Eelektross is stated to live in the water, even though it's a pure Electric type incapable of learning any offensive Water moves. Many fans have expressed confusion about this, but think about
* The reason why the Pokedex entries for Yamask and Cofagrigus and other such Pokemon are considerably [[Darker and Edgier|darker]] this time around could be because Hilbert/Hilda are older than the previous protagonists and are therefore accustomed to more mature concepts. After all, it is the player character who fills out the Pokedex entries!
* N's final team([[Olympus Mons|minus Reshiram/Zekrom]]) is heavily implied to be his childhood friends. Keep in mind that these include either Pokemon you can't get in the wild (Zoroark because it requires an event, Carracosta and Archeops are fossils that need to be revived) or generally urban Pokemon(Vanilluxe's first form appears to be farmed for Castelia Cones, and Klinklang is a system of gears). Given N's sheltered upbringing, it would make sense for these to be a part of his main team.
== Fridge Horror ==
* A good deal of the gyms are pretty hazardous; Opelucid and Icirrus in particular would have a constant risk of falling to your death into a functionally bottomless pit.
Line 130 ⟶ 134:
* Ghetsis must've had some pretty grand plans if he had the {{spoiler|Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs}}...
** And how did he come to have those, when they were last in the possession of {{spoiler|the Diamond/Pearl player character?}}
** Hell, just Ghetsis' plans in general. Just look at his big one in the game: {{spoiler|Ghetsis knew a self-centered man like him could never be the hero of legend, so he raised his own son N specifically to fit the qualifications needed to be the hero and to be the key pawn in his master plan. He kept N locked up in a room filled with toys for years in order to stunt his emotional growth, and had Anthea and Concordia frequently tend to him so that his innocence and purity could be preserved. He himself told N that Team Plasma was fighting to liberate Pokemon from their captivity and oppression at the hands of humans, and even provided abused Pokemon for N as playmates. Ghetsis' own minions had abused the Pokemon and since N could hear their thoughts and feel their pain, he came to believe that all humans hurt Pokemon and that all Pokemon long to be far away from humans. After N had come of age and was crowned Team Plasma's king, Ghetsis began his crusade to capture the hearts and minds of the trainer population, the grand crescendo of which would come when N, using Reshiram or Zekrom, could defeat the Champion and allow Team Plasma to take over the league. N would then issue a command to every human in the Unova region to release all their Pokemon or risk the region's destruction again. In reverence of the hero and the belief that his way is the truth or ideal ("having Pokemon will be considered a bad thing" as Ghetsis puts it), the trainers would release all their Pokemon...''which would leave Ghetsis and his select followers as the only ones with Pokemon that they're able to use.'' After N's purpose had been served, Ghetsis would throw him away and take Reshiram/Zekrom for himself, and then with his personal Pokemon army headed by the legendary Pokemon of the hero, would go to war with all other regions and repeat the process so that more region's worth of Pokemon get added to his forces. The more Pokemon, the more power, and with enough power, Ghetsis could take over the entire world, bringing about a Dystopian new world order in which he, as the ruler who is the only one allowed to have and use Pokemon, has unlimited influence, privilege, and control over everything that lives and is free to oppress and suppress everyone by using threat of force via his supepowered mons. And the reason for ''all'' this? He felt ''entitled'' to it.}}
*** And if Ghetsis did take over Unova, the entire economy of Unova would be a wreck, given that everything runs on Pokemon here.▼
*** As dictator of not just Unova but the entire world, Ghetsis would turn the world into one where every day was one of suffering under his reign - a world where your oppressors have all the power to harm you and keep you in line (as the only ones able to use Pokemon) and you lack the power to fight back, and are thus made to feel enslaved in this dystopian world order. It's a [[Fate Worse Than Death]], arguably as horrific as Cyrus' vision for the world, if not moreso seeing as here you'd keep your emotions and would thus feel every last bit of pain.
▲*** And if Ghetsis did take over Unova, the entire economy of Unova would be a wreck.
*** '''WARNING''': Major guessing ahead. Consider why he had those {{spoiler|orbs}}. One could make the argument that he had the {{spoiler|orbs}} because he was trying to attain {{spoiler|the Creation trio}} to kill anyone in his way. This presents 2 flaws: Ghetsis could use any legendary to do this, and you don't
*** I'm going to throw my own slightly less alarmist theory into the mix here: Ghetsis states at the end of the game that {{spoiler|he is the one who awakened Reshiram/Zekrom}} along with {{spoiler|manipulating events}} so that N would actively seek it and thus become the hero {{spoiler|Ghetsis needed to take control}}. We know that the legendary yin/yang dragons are awakened both by the presence of their hero AND {{spoiler|the specific stone needed to awaken them}}, according to whichever version you're playing. We also know that Team Plasma were delving into absolutely any leads they could find on the dragons, as their appearance at the Nacrene Gym shows us. If Team Plasma were seeking out any methods they could find to try and awaken the dragons, perhaps Ghetsis came across the {{spoiler|orbs}} whilst seeking the {{spoiler|yin/yang stones}} and thought they might be the items he desired, which they obviously proved not to be. Bear in mind that the region of Unova and its people don't know a great deal about Pokemon from distant lands; perhaps Ghetsis thought the {{spoiler|orbs}} were worthless when they did not {{spoiler|awaken Reshiram/Zekrom}} and so had little trouble casting them off to the player. I'm sure a third version of the game with an extended post-game story will put the theories to rest in time, but just in case this one is right, everyone should really be thankful that Ghetsis never learned {{spoiler|which [[Physical God|"dragons"]] the orbs were connected to}}...
* Many of the quotes randomly generated by opponents in the Battle Subway are surprisingly humorous, deep, and - yes - terrifying. Including this gem of a quote from a subway worker:
Line 141 ⟶ 145:
** And also, {{spoiler|where did his real parents go?}}
** If you think about it, this might be the less unpleasant option. Assuming that N ''is'' {{spoiler|related to Ghetsis, who did Ghetsis fuck to produce a child, [[Rape Tropes|and in what way]]? And worse, there's no hint of N having a mother anywhere. '''''Where did she go?'''''}}
** Speaking of N's lineage, let's look at his powers for a moment: He talks to Pokemon, yes, but he says in the final speech he heard your Pokemon's voices the first time he met you, where you don't seem to have a Pokemon out of its ball. This might imply, say, telepathy. I think everyone knows about a [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
▲** Speaking of N's lineage, let's look at his powers for a moment: He talks to Pokemon, yes, but he says in the final speech he heard your Pokemon's voices the first time he met you, where you don't seem to have a Pokemon out of its ball. This might imply, say, telepathy. I think everyone knows about a [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (Video Game)|green-haired, humanoid psychic type]], yes? Now, consider two things about Ghetsis. First, it's pretty clear he wouldn't be averse to horribly mistreating a Pokemon if it'd further his goals. Second, Ghetsis has red eyes, green hair and sociopathy on levels previously unknown to mankind. [[The Pokémon Story|I wonder what could produce a combination like that...]] Maybe N gets his telepathy from his grandmother's side?
*** Thank almighty Arceus this is an impossibility. Misty appeared in that ''fanfic'', and Ghetsis would've been born decades before her.
* {{spoiler|Ghetsis himself admits}} "The moment when someone loses all hope...I really do love to watch that moment." Now consider {{spoiler|when he revealed to N that he was an [[Unwitting Pawn]], crushing his hopes and dreams.}} The implications is that this [[Moral Event Horizon]] wasn't just done out of anger, ''[[For the Evulz|but sadism.]]'' Indeed, {{spoiler|N's entire life of being manipulated}} could've been {{spoiler|something Ghetsis ''was turned on by.''}} He may have [[Mind Rape|mindraped]] {{spoiler|his own son}} without him even knowing it.
** In general, Ghetsis' sadism is disturbing, but it becomes moreso when you consider that many of the things he does, in both games, can be considered forms of torture - physical torture (his Pokemon abuse, what he does to Kyurem and has Kyurem do to Unova, commanding Kyurem use Glaciate on a human child), emotional torture (his treatment of N and what he has Team Plasma put a lot of people through), and even psychological torture (towards N and to an extent all the masses of Unova through his plan with the freezeover of the entire region). And when you look at his Pokemon team, all of his Pokemon seem to be tailor-made for use as living torture weapons on his enemies and their Pokemon. Team Plasma's initial medieval style might also be part of this, seeing as brutality and torture chambers were big in the middle ages.
* You ever wonder why N has a [[One-Letter Name]]? {{spoiler|Or ''what the hell happened to A through M?''}}
** Alternatively: What does N stand for? Null? No-one? Nothing? Nobody?
*** Or the calculus variable n, making N {{spoiler|just a variable in Ghetsis' perfect formula, less predictable than Ghetsis would have liked but unfortunately necessary to complete the equation. And N does like math...}}
*** Also, {{spoiler|giving his son (if N really IS his) a [[One-Letter Name]] could just be Ghetsis'
*** [[Jossed Trope|Jossed.]] His name is N{{spoiler|atural Harmonia Gropius.}} [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Junichi_Masuda_reveals_information_on_N Confimed here.]
**** Yes, but he refers to himself as N. Giving him {{spoiler|an actual name}} may have been so people don't get suspicious, so he can eventually dehumanize N.
* The Black version Pokédex states that Cofagrigus's favorite food is gold nuggets; the White version Pokédex states that its body made of pure gold. Who's to say that it hasn't tried to eat its own kind... or itself?
** All the food we eat is carbon based, and we're also made of carbon. [[Insane Troll Logic|Why don't we eat ourselves then?]]
*** Because we neither eat raw carbon or are made of raw carbon.
*** <ref>
** Probably not itself, since the gold it eats reinforces its body.
* Speaking of Yamask and Cofagrigus... Yamasks were originally humans that got mummified, keeping their human faces as a masks. They evolve into Cofagrigi, Pokémon that swallow humans whole and turn them into mummies, probably more Yamasks. This could very well be their natural way of multiplying...
Line 162 ⟶ 164:
** You know the already sketchy ethics with Pokebattles. Using [[Was Once a Man|Yamask]] in battle takes those [[Unfortunate Implications]], and ''multiplies it.''
*** [[It Got Worse|It gets worse.]] Capturing and enslaving a human soul is horrific enough, but what if you captured it from the aforementioned Relic Castle? [[Moral Event Horizon|You just enslaved the tortured soul of a civilian who lost their life in a horrible terrorist attack and made it fight for you!]]
**** Even worse, [[Humans Are
***** Ghetsis has one. The above make this horror in itself.
* Deino starts off with one head, then evolves into Zweilous, who has two heads that hate each other. Zweilous evolves into
▲* Deino starts off with one head, then evolves into Zweilous, who has two heads that hate each other. Zweilous evolves into Hydreigon -- who only has ''one'' brain and two brainless heads for hands.
** I actually find that thought hilarious. Two quarreling heads? It's like they were brainless to begin with!
** [[Fridge Horror]]
* The TM for Toxic is found in the shallows in the middle of a mostly water route. A water route full of Ghost jellyfish.
* One trainer on Route 15 says that she's looking for Pokemon that have escaped from the Poke Transfer Lab. Notice how the whole northeast of Unova is full of Gen I-IV Pokemon. Yes, that's right: Unova's being overrun by invasive species that are probably wreaking havoc on the ecosystem now [[What the Hell, Player?|because you wanted to keep the Pokemon from your old games.]]
Line 181 ⟶ 182:
* The entire Solosis line can learn Explosion by TM. Those Pokemon are based on developing embryos. [[Nightmare Fuel|You're basically teaching your Pokemon to abort itself.]] [[What the Hell, Player?|Nice job, kid.]]
** [[It Got Worse|Made worse]] by the fact that the game takes place in Unova, which is said to be like America, where abortion is considered a hot-button topic (right to life vs. pro-choice).
** Except the line is more based on a general cell division, rather than embryos.
*** The Explosion-Solosis connection doesn't come from dividing cells, but dividing ''atoms''. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Nuclear]] [[Genius Bonus|fission]], anyone?
* This one came up after this troper finished getting a Castelia Cone in Castelia City. Basically, the Castelia Cone is ice cream that looks too similar to Vanillite. The stand where you buy these ice cream cones are opened from the spring to the fall season before it closes up in the winter because of the coldness of the weather. However, winter is also the season where Vanillite appear more in the wild because of the weather. This troper thinks that the owner of the stand leaves during the winter to capture more Vanillite and serve them to people when it's spring again. To add to this, if the player were to watch the TV, there will be one instance where there is a girl that talks about buying a Castelia Cone but then it came alive and ran away. Basically, humans are eating Vanillite and are re-stocking when they come out to play.
Line 191 ⟶ 192:
** That doesn't make them extinct, just makes them the last ones that aren't in captivity. I really doubt that they would go extinct considering how much breeding trainers put them through. And if they're anything like the trainers I know, they'd probably release tons of them into the wild until they got one they could train properly.
* So, what did Team Plasma want with that Munna's Dream Mist again? Oh, right, they wanted to use it to brainwash the people of Unova into releasing their Pokemon and joining Team Plasma. If that had worked, {{spoiler|Ghetsis would have an unstoppable brainwashed army, which he could continually replenish and expand by harvesting more Dream Mist from Munna to brainwash new "recruits".}} [[Nightmare Fuel|You're welcome.]]
* There's an unpleasant foreshadowing for the sequels in Fridge Brilliance above. Absol is found outside the Giant Chasm, as if it's warning the protagonist not to enter. Fast forward to the sequels. (Continued on the [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2
