I really want to add Japanese trivia of the Nugget, because it's an important in-joke of Japanese Pokemon fandom. But I also feel that it's inappropriate at the same time... --Pizzaman 13:07, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

What would it be? That it's a piece of crap? TTEchidna 15:28, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

In Japanese, it's 'kin no tama' (きんのたま、金の玉 lit. golden ball). It's also a colloquial term for testicles, and the man offering you his "testicles" is a frequent joke amongst Japanese fans, especially since how the protagonist is still an underage child and all. --Pizzaman 13:23, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

It says under Slowpoketail that

"One key point of interest is when first introduced, the Team Rocket member mentions the Slowpoketail's value as a delicacy, being the first time that it's ever mentioned of the use of any Pokémon as an actual food (for human consumption), a rather controversial subject of what kind of creature is the contributor of meat (of any kind) in the Pokémon world"

but my friend pointed out that in one episode, I think EP049, the Pokedex says that people find Farfetch'd delicious.Daihatsuboy 02:02, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

I vaguely remember hearing that. If you can find a clip it would be perfectDCM_{((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))}

I know I'm replying to old crap, but I was gonna mention this anyways: The Official Pokémon Handbook says that people think Farfetch'd is tasty served with leeks and that's why it's rare. :P ZestyCactus 21:16, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Also in the episode when everyone is on the SS Anne it shows them talk about eating a Magikarp. This has happened in many different episodes before Gen II even came out so the statement of "One key point of interest is when first introduced, the Team Rocket member mentions the Slowpoketail's value as a delicacy, being the first time that it's ever mentioned of the use of any Pokémon as an actual food (for human consumption), a rather controversial subject of what kind of creature is the contributor of meat (of any kind) in the Pokémon world. This is also the first time that Pokémon cruelty is mentioned explicitly." is totally wrong. It should be removed completely since its false.--Lycos Ex Mortis 05:57, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Nugget

"In Generation IV it is officially announced that nuggets are made of gold, though the Generation III sprite revealed this beforehand."

I remember reading in Generation II, when you select a Nugget (and the description is below), that it says, "Made of pure gold. Sells high". So I would think that the info about Gen IV is wrong. --Dr. James 04:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

pearl -> big pearl

On route 20 a swimmer asks if pearls grow bigger inside Cloyster. Do pearls turn into big pearls if you give them to a Cloyster to hold for long enough? --Jared 20:14, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Not that I've heard of. —darklordtrom 00:13, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
