KataraniSword posted:This is also what the Pokedex says in... at least early generations; not sure about later on. No, it doesn't. Moon's is the only Pokédex entry to say anything about Magikarps as a food source: "Its reckless leaps make it easy pickings for predators. On the bright side, many Pokémon enjoy longer life spans, thanks to Magikarp." I would also like to mention that while Brazil does have a lot of Japanese and Italian immigrants, they predominantly live in the state of São Paulo and the southern states. Pará (the state this game is supposedly based in) is at least 1000 kilometres (600 miles) away from the São Paulo state, going by the shortest distance between state borders. Some interesting notes about Pará is that about 75% of its population declared themselves as black or mixed race in the latest census, it's basically composed of flat rain forests and a small savanna area, and that it's miserably hot and humid no matter where you go. If Tandor shares anything other than a basic geographic outline with Pará, I have yet to see it.

In the episode where Ash and pals are on the SS Anne and James gets a Magikarp, he thinks he can use it as a meal even if it is worthless. Meowth rebuts him with the 'scales and bones' comment. first season is canon imo

Well, maybe the only pokedex entry *for Magikarp*, but the Pidgeot entry in Red/Blue reads: "When hunting, it skims the surface of water at high speed to pick off unwary prey such as Magikarp."

So if it can only be seen by drunk people, does that mean you're just hammered all the time when you use one on your team?

Bullshit. It has an eye! Do you know how many cells it takes to make an eye? More than one! Disclaimer: I don't know how many cell it take to make an eye, but I know that there are at least two.

It may just be a photoreceptive organelle or organelles I'll concede that, but overall it looks like it is made up of multiple differentiated sections, specifically it's green top part and the not-magnet. You could say that those could be proteins embedded in or on the outside of the membrane, but overall, it looks less like a single-celled organism and more like a mollusk.

Is discussing stuff that is obviously not completely implemented fine? Because looking at them on the wiki, one of those has a not immediately obvious mistake in it's characteristics (i.e. not typing or BST, but one of the miscellaneous things that only can be seen in the game's code). Note: do not look on the Uranium wiki's Pokedex unless you like spoilers, they're adjacent to the version mascot legendary in the dex.
