The most meta thing in the Pokémon universe

According to Bulbapedia:

Due to Unown's letter and Shininess both being determined by IVs in Generation II, Shiny Unown will always be either an I or V in these games.

The best part is that as far as I know, the term "IV" was only coined after GSC's release. Eerie.

  1. The most meta thing in the Pokemon Universe and it involves one of the last Pokemon anyone would use in metagame.

  2. That's kind of just a dumb coincidence. I would go as far as to say a shit-post.

    1. Of course it's a dumb coincidence. It's still funny that it happened that way.

  3. Huh. I feel it is on the same lines as "Hey look, the Walt Disney logo has these three pseudo-sixes in it! Disney is satanic!"

    Just my opinion. I guess it is interesting though.

    1. And you would think that given enough time to enter a captcha I would realize I was posting in the wrong place.

    2. I do it all the time too, when replying to the most recent comment. Don't worry too much about it.

  4. On a separate note, I wonder what you would think of IGN's top 125 Nintendo games...

    1. What should he say about that? They put stuff like Donkey Kong Jungle Beat over Country, Country 2 and Returns. Or put Nintendogs over Twilight Princess. Or put the f*ing Street Pass Games over a tone of realy awesome games. Or going the nostalgic way saying Gen 1 was the bast Pokémon game. I think talking about that would just make Slo go insane.

    2. Can't spell "ignorant" without "IGN".

    3. One thing I loved was the BSC IGN top lists, pretty good to listen to when I go jog, just listen to one of them and you can see how stupid they are

    4. Ask and you shall recieve. If you have four hours, they riff on it...

  5. Nothing too unsavory at first glance about Charizard, Serebii's Pokemon of the Week this time around. They at least admit that base Charizard is incredibly underwhelming...

    1. They DID however mistyped Solar Beam as Solar Power while still writing Solar Power as the ability for the first Charizard set... but who cares ? If they decided to make some regular Charizard despite being very insistent on how they're all extremely inconsistent and requires much more support than it's worth for some reasons, I can understand why they wouldn't put as much thought into it...
      I checked and they did type it correctly for MCY sets. So it's really because they didn't care.
