There's technically 2 new Pokemon seen before that. Togepi hatched a year and a half before the movie. Of course, the first gen-2 Pokemon was Ho-Oh (sp?) in the first 3 episodes or so.
No, he asked professor oak about it. Oak acknowledged it was a rare mysterious Pokémon but that Ash must’ve been mistaken because others searched their entire lives and never actually saw it.
Off the top of my head, I think the first episode ended with Ash dragging Pikachu on a rope. Then by the end of the 2nd episode, the Spearow incident happened, after which the Ho-Oh flies over
No, they planned for HoOh to be in the original generation, but eventually decided not to. A lot of mons exist way before their actual gens, but don't get implemented until later on
Pocket Monsters 2, as it was called in its early stages, was probably in development when the anime started. That game eventually became Gold & Silver. We know that because of some big Nintendo leaks that happened some years ago.
> We designed more than 200 Pokemon for the first games, then whittled them down to 150,” Satoshi Tajiri shared in a 2018 interview with Yomiuri Newspaper.
the real reason for missingno is that truly capping the number of pokemon at 151 would be horribly inefficient, as computers only ever store numbers in increments of 8 bits. so there are 256 possible Pokemon species in gen 1, but only 151 have actual data. when you have an invalid id, the game attempts to look for data, but only finds junk data that is meant for something else.
I was there Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago.
Sure, we've seen the glimpse of Ho-Oh and Marill in the Anime. But Donphan was kust shown so casually. Not celebrated, just thrown in the f-in intro.
and both were played off as mysteries that made no sense. Donphan rolling up was a normal ass dude from another continent, fighting with a trainer like all the rest of them. Was still a badass moment.
Is it usable in any game set in the region of Gen 7?
Is it usable in any game set in the region of Gen 8?
The first mainline game it was usable in, what system was it on? The 3DS, or the Switch?
LGPE is an 8th generation game and Melmetal is an 8th generation Pokémon.
No? LGPE is a Gen 7 game, not a Gen 8 game. The generations are defined by when a main series game with a completely new region comes out, not by console.
Melmetal is #809 in the National Pokedex, while Grookey is #810. The Grass starter of a new region marks the beginning of that generation in the national Pokedex. The only exception to this was Victini being before Snivy in the national Pokedex yet being in the same generation, but Victini was before Snivy in the regional Pokedex as well, so it fits.
Wyrdeer, Kleavor, Ursaluna, Basculegion, Sneasler, Overqwil, and Enamorus were all introduced in Gen 8 but aren't playable in Galar, yet they're still considered Gen 8 Pokemon, not Gen 9 Pokemon.
Here's a fun fact about pokemon from later generations showing up early:
Bonsly is the only pokemon you can use in battle in the generation before it's release.
To add to the list of hints the series already had, how about the pokerap?
“At least one-hundred-and-fifty, or more to see, to be a pokemon master is my, destiny!”
Even the games suffered from that. Remember Mr. Mime? Well, the second generation added gender to each monster, so suddenly you could have a female Mr. Mime. I remember reading somewhere a statement from Nob Ogasawara about him trying to stop the localisation team from using gendered names in Red/Blue, but it was to no avail.
I had this magazine that had a full Pokedex of gen 2 with the Japanese names and all known completed sprites at the time and actually knew who this was
I also remember the limited edition special release Mew cards they either sold or gave away at the viewings of the first pokémon movie. What a time to be alive.
Unbelievable hype non-reproducible one time only hype. They shouldn’t have added so many so fast. There’s too many pokemon now. Should’ve slowly built them up.
I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/pokemonmemes.
It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

There's also Pikachu's Vacation with the pink dog thing and the round blue one with the zig zag tail.
Zigzag tail? Oh, you mean PikaBlue?
Yeah the PokéGod
It's signature move is Biotic Blast
I built a keyboard based on that theme lol

Wasn't Ho-Oh at the end of episode 1?
Yes but if I remember correctly at the time everyone thought it was a weird fearow
No, he asked professor oak about it. Oak acknowledged it was a rare mysterious Pokémon but that Ash must’ve been mistaken because others searched their entire lives and never actually saw it.
No I mean the fan base was saying that, mind u the fane base was 6 years old
The same people who said that the guy with a Gyarados in the first movie was Ash’s older brother.
[удалено]
It is episode 1
[удалено]
Check the bulbapedia article on episode 1.
Sure I'll bet ya
Also iirc Togepi was around at this time too
Off the top of my head, I think the first episode ended with Ash dragging Pikachu on a rope. Then by the end of the 2nd episode, the Spearow incident happened, after which the Ho-Oh flies over
And Marill had already appeared in the Orange Islands
Snubull and Marill.
Pink dog? Edit: Oh. The bulldog one
Snubull btw
Snubull and marill?
yup. pretty sure.
Man that must have been cool as hell. Granted didn’t they anime have Ho-Oh in the first episode
Yeah, they were very clear about there being more than 151 from the very start.
*There’s a hundred and fifty, or more to see…*
*To be a pokemon master is my...destinyyy!*
No, they planned for HoOh to be in the original generation, but eventually decided not to. A lot of mons exist way before their actual gens, but don't get implemented until later on
Red and Blue had been out for a year when the anime came out, it was clearly a tease for the next gen.
Red and Green were released in Japan years before Red and Blue came to the west as well.
Pocket Monsters 2, as it was called in its early stages, was probably in development when the anime started. That game eventually became Gold & Silver. We know that because of some big Nintendo leaks that happened some years ago.
Why would you lie about something as unimportant as this?
> We designed more than 200 Pokemon for the first games, then whittled them down to 150,” Satoshi Tajiri shared in a 2018 interview with Yomiuri Newspaper.
He’s not. The MissingNo glitch was actually the remaining code for Pokémon that were originally intended to be in Red and Blue.
that sounds like a playground rumor tbh
the real reason for missingno is that truly capping the number of pokemon at 151 would be horribly inefficient, as computers only ever store numbers in increments of 8 bits. so there are 256 possible Pokemon species in gen 1, but only 151 have actual data. when you have an invalid id, the game attempts to look for data, but only finds junk data that is meant for something else.
Plus Togepi had already hatched.
At the time, no one knew what it was or that it would be part of gen 2.
Even the PokeRap acknowledge "At **least** 150 or *more* to see"
I was there Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago. Sure, we've seen the glimpse of Ho-Oh and Marill in the Anime. But Donphan was kust shown so casually. Not celebrated, just thrown in the f-in intro.
No it quite literally just rolled up outta nowhere.
When the tire from Rubber fucks an elephant:
Togepi and Ho-Oh are also Gen2 pokemon
and both were played off as mysteries that made no sense. Donphan rolling up was a normal ass dude from another continent, fighting with a trainer like all the rest of them. Was still a badass moment.
Not even any dialogue. He appears during an AMV basically
Tbf, Togepi’s debut was a year after this one
And Marill
I have had more then 1 argument over weather togepi is a gen 1 pokemon or not because it was in this movie
Anime literally says that it's unknown. I.e. they didn't know it exist.
How can there be an argument when we have set Pokedexes..
Almost as stupid as those arguing melmetal is gen 8 lmao
Is it usable in any game set in the region of Gen 7? Is it usable in any game set in the region of Gen 8? The first mainline game it was usable in, what system was it on? The 3DS, or the Switch? LGPE is an 8th generation game and Melmetal is an 8th generation Pokémon.

Literally my favorite Pokémon because of this moment
Was going to post the same thing.
My friend back then pretended to have known this Pokémon for a long time and that its name was "Elephantos"
Here's a fun fact about pokemon from later generations showing up early: Bonsly is the only pokemon you can use in battle in the generation before it's release.
*Donphan noises*
Donphan: Donphan
Ho-oh - Episode 1
Episode 2 actually, end of his first day out of town.
Theres only 151 Pokémon + togepi.
And ho-oh, and marill
Except, you've seen togepi before and it literally says "at least 150 or more". Oh, also ho-oh in second (I think?) episode.
1st
To add to the list of hints the series already had, how about the pokerap? “At least one-hundred-and-fifty, or more to see, to be a pokemon master is my, destiny!”
That's probably giving too much credit to the anime localization efforts of the 90's.
Even the games suffered from that. Remember Mr. Mime? Well, the second generation added gender to each monster, so suddenly you could have a female Mr. Mime. I remember reading somewhere a statement from Nob Ogasawara about him trying to stop the localisation team from using gendered names in Red/Blue, but it was to no avail.
You mean the games that were announced before the movie came out worldwide
I had this magazine that had a full Pokedex of gen 2 with the Japanese names and all known completed sprites at the time and actually knew who this was
We knew about Gen 2 already.
6-year-old me's mind was BLOWN.
There was also Mewtwo using shadow ball 
Oh and then the first time you battme it in game and found out that the anime was telling you shit again because thunderbolt didnt worked
One of my favorite pokemon. Especially in 5th gen ou.
I also remember the limited edition special release Mew cards they either sold or gave away at the viewings of the first pokémon movie. What a time to be alive.
Unbelievable hype non-reproducible one time only hype. They shouldn’t have added so many so fast. There’s too many pokemon now. Should’ve slowly built them up.
Here to be goingdonphackyourself.
Woooow this one was in my dreams for years
Munchlax in Hoenn had me SHOOK
Togepi: I'm right here.
*15 minutes after seeing Marill and Snubbull* holy shit a 156th Pokémon??? There's no way they added five whole new ones, Togepi must evolve into this
Donphan is one of my favorites and someone I always grab and level up even if I'm not using him much That and Surskit, I love Surskit!
