You might know that Pokémon is based on insect collecting, and that the games are based on different regions in Japan. That Pokemon trivia is easy. But I bet there are some factoids you don’t know about, even if you’re a hardcore fan.
Buzzfeed put together a video that’s full of fun Pokemon facts, including:
What Pokemon are named after cities
How many badges Ash has, as well as how many Pokemon he’s caught
The surprising number of people who developed Gold and Silver
Whether or not people actually eat Pokemon
What random Guiness World Record the anime holds
How being good at Pokemon can get you a scholarship
What the most expensive Pokemon card is, and how many are in circulation
How much the franchise is worth
What the odds of a master ball failing are (EDIT: apparently this only applies to the original games—but still!)
I always guessed that people must eat Pokemon, though I could have sworn I’ve seen people in the anime eat creatures that aren’t ‘mon, too. And my mind is kind of blown on the whole ‘masterballs can actually fail’ thing. I’VE BEEN LIED TO.
