Just noticed this so I though I would point it out, that Slowpoke is supposed to evolve by having a Shellder clamp its tail, but they are both opposite version-exclusives in FireRed and LeafGreen, with Shellder being exclusive to FireRed and Slowpoke being exclusive to LeafGreen. So ironically, Slowbro and Slowking technically shouldnt be obtainable at all in those games.

Meme
I'd say it's worth a mention that slowpoke has become slightly famous on 4cahn's /b/ board as of late? - unsigned comment from Titan (talk • contribs)
- Strangely however its not so popular on their /vp/ board =P. DeadUniverse Hello! 12:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- And I think memes like that shouldn't be included until they spread outside of 4chan more, like So I herd U liek Mudkips did. --AndyPKMN 12:52, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- It kinda has. Like that Slowpoke Michael Jackson thing they did, and on April 1st, 2010 there was Slowpedia. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ 12:55, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Sprites (Crystal)
(Sorry for my bad English) I believe, you have to center the sprites of Crystal and Gold, because it don't looks beautiful when the sprite of Slowpoke lays so below. For example the Crystal und Gold sprites of shiny Slowpoke are in the center of the picture and in my opinion that is distinctly prettier to watch (uniformity)!--LaBumm 14:12, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Slowpoke based on a Giant Otter rather than Leucistic Hippo.
Its marine nature, fishing habits and association with shellfish have me believe that Slowpoke and its evolutions are based on various species of otter rather than a Hippopotamus with leucism. It specifically resembles a young Giant Otter.
Thoughts?
