Eight Pokemon revelations you may have never noticed

From DAMNLAG.com:

"Back in the late nineties, kids like me were so fiendishly obsessed with Pokemon, that we just assume that we should know everything there is to know about the franchise. It’s only when you take a retrospective look as an adult that you begin to pick up little details that the games, cartoons, and cards sneakily revealed. Pokemon has a lot of excess baggage and weird little easter eggs that you all probably missed out on. Without further hold up, I present merely some of Pokemon’s many secrets. "

"...and the Minnesota Vikings were all mentioned at one point in the franchise."

Wow gotta give credit to the people who sat on their ass coming up with the entire pokemon concept.

"Now, you didn’t think they were slicing off the tails of Slowpoke for fun, right? Hell no. There is a demand for dead Slowpoke, and it’s not to showcase them in a museum or for them to become stuffed toys. It’s because they’re fucking delicious." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I love that part.

i miss Pokemon my last Pokemon game was Pokemon silver :P nothing beats the original Pokemon,to bad they didn't port some of the DS games to the wii.i would love that so much!that would be sweet...

So who here got in a fight with another kid over pokemon cards ? i Did LOL

[DaBadGuy]

Pokemon cards were banned at my elementary school and so kids would sneak them around like they were dimebags. If you got caught with them they would be taken away. Satan thy name is teacher. At recess we would huddle around this huge tree off to the side and talk quietly to ourselves and show each other our cards. We would sneak around the playground aides. One time I even game my friend 5 bucks to have the aid take him to the nurse while I did a trade. It's called dedication.

Sometimes though, it would be like the wild west on the playground. People would steal each others cards and such, and we couldn't go to the teachers because we weren't supposed to have them there anyway. So sometimes we had to take matters into our own hands. One time some kid stole a mewtwo from one of my friends and we told a bunch of kids and got a group and confronted the kid. He gave the card back. This kid was the kid that no one liked because he was a dick.

Pokemon was my life. I had everything from the cards to videos to a bedset to a talking Pikachu to Pokemon Fruit Roll Up wrappers. Yes. I used to save Pokemon Fruit Roll Up wrappers I would get from lunch in school, and I would save the paper the fruit roll up came on because it would have the little designs on them. Good times.

[BldyShdw]

I was just like you, nostalgia ftw!

[Umbrella Corp]

Here man you deserve a bubble.When I was growing up pokemon was so popular,I was the only nerd who wouldnt play yu-gi-oh cards because I told em pokemon cards was coming back.I even buy a booster pack now and than,you believe it?Theres a card called Delta Charizard hes steel and electric and I have him.

[rezzah]

Yea man Pokemon blew up when i was in grade three, years ago. I remember those days so well. Pokemon ruled everything!

[Ultraplayerxd]

I memorized all 151 pokemon, I could recite them forwards and backwards. If someone gave me a number I could tell you what pokemon that was and its attacks and properties. I begged my parents to get me a gameboy just for pokemon, that's how awesome it was back then.

[YoungKingDoran]

my best friend and i only originally became friends until pokemon bonded us. (and i hated him before that haha)

[lil boy blue]

I had most of that and a pikachu an electric toothbrush.

[DarkSpawnClone]

Same..but what i found the funnest was battling people on game boy color,i was the only know who knew the rarcandy cheat in my group of Pokemon friends on the school yard and i use to teach them and they use to give me there pokemon to make them lvl 99.i remember some kid gave me a mew if i lvled 10 of his pokemon! it was soo awesome but then my little brother played it(he had to have been 4-5 at the time)and started a new game and i never got mew again :( i miss pokemon. i have 4 mewtwo cards..always wanted a charazard never got one ;/ </3

[Sigh]

I agree with the comment in that site. Ekans spelled backwards from "Snake" blew my mind as a kid when I was little. Also Arbok spelled backwards as "Kobra". Read em both on a pokemon enclyopedia book, having info on pokemon from #1-151.

Japanese Hitler at the end pierced my soul.
