Teams
Ash
On Hand
| Debut | EP001 |
|---|
Ash's Pikachu is his very first Pokémon on his journey. It's very stubborn, and dislikes Ash due to how he treats it at times, as evidenced by Pikachu giving Ash an obscene gesture in one episode.
Pikachu's known moves are Scratch, Thunderbolt, Thunder Shock, Slam, and a joke attack called AK-47 Attack*, seen in episode 2.
Pikachu's last seen level is 29.
| Debut | EP046 |
|---|
Ash's second Pokémon, caught after a failed attempt at catching a Mankey. Charizard has not been featured long enough to have a developed personality.
Charizard's known moves are Scratch, Flamethrower, Rock Smash, and Air Slash.
Charizard's last seen level is 37.
| Debut | EP045 |
|---|
Ash's latest Pokémon. Jigglypuff, like its anime counterpart, puts people to sleep with its song and draws on victim's faces. Anthony humorously caught it by putting duct tape on the Poké Ball to keep it from escaping.
Jigglypuff's only known move is Sing.
Jigglypuff's last seen level is 24.
Metrosexual Hipster
On Hand
| Debut | XY010 |
|---|
Metrosexual Hipster's current Pokémon, a Chespin, named Belieber4Evr because it was obtained in a Wonder Trade, is very vulgar due to its moveset, though it is humorously bleeped out. Metrosexual Hipster obtained it and taught it four moves, hoping that if he used a Pokémon that knew four moves, he'd be able to beat Ash, even though none of the moves that Belieber4Evr knew could actually damage Charizard.
Belieber4Evr's known moves are Tail Whip, Swagger, Curse, and Tickle.
Belieber4Evr's last seen level is 40.
Deceased
| Debut | EP001 |
|---|
Metrosexual Hipster's first known Pokémon, its first and only appearance was in episode 1. Like most Magikarp, it's useless and can't attack at all. Ash's Pikachu vaporized it with Thunder Shock at the end of the first episode.
Magikarp's only known move is Splash.
Magikarp's last seen level is 5.
Status Unknown
| Debut | EP003 |
|---|
Metrosexual Hipster caught it in hopes that it would be able to beat Ash, but gave up the battle after Ash threatened to use Flamethrower on him. Metapod is never seen again after episode 3, so it is unknown what he did with it. He most likely either put it in the PC or released it.
Metapod's only known move is Harden.
Metapod's last seen level is 100.
Gentleman
Status Unknown
| Debut | EP003 |
|---|
Though never seen, these Metapod were mentioned by the Gentleman to Ash. He said if he wanted the Poké Flute, he'd have to battle his six Metapod. The Metapod have not been seen or mentioned since episode 3, so it is unknown if he still has them.
Their moves are not known, though it is implied that they only know Harden.
Other Pokémon
Beyond Ash and Metrosexual Hipster's Pokémon, miscellaneous wild Pokémon have appeared in the series.
| Debut | EP025 |
|---|
This particular Mankey made its first and only appearance in episode 2 as the first wild Pokémon Ash encountered. He attempted to catch it for 20 minutes before Mankey got bored and left.
None of Mankey's moves are known.
Mankey's last seen level is 20.
| Debut | EP094 |
|---|
Snorlax's first and only appearance was in episode 3. Like its game counterpart, it's asleep in the middle of the road, preventing Ash from passing. Like in the games, the only way to wake it up is to use the Poké Flute.
None of Snorlax's moves are known.
Jokes
Pokémon in Real Life! uses jokes about physics that don't make sense and common jokes that make fun of Pokémon to make the series.
Episode 1
- The fact that you can't battle a trainer unless you walk in front of them
Episode 2
- The humor of the name Mankey being one letter away from "Monkey."
- It also details the oddity of being able to fly on a Pidgey despite the player being even heavier.
- Due to this, it adds to it by making Ash's Charizard unable to learn Fly, since it couldn't in Generation I.
Episode 3
- The oddity that the player needs a Poké Flute to wake a Snorlax up to get through it and not being able to walk over or around it.
- The adult humor of Metapod using Harden.
- That the player has the inability to attack the opponent to end a battle.
Episode 4
- The inability to wake a Pokémon up from sleep without an Awakening.
Episode 5
- The joke behind the fact that Wonder Traded Pokémon usually have obscene or otherwise embarrassing nicknames to mess with others.
