60. • After the appearance of Pokémon in 1996, and the resultant Pokémon-
related craze, this company unveiled the first ‘Pokémon Jets’ on 1 July 1998,
timed with the release of Pokémon: The First Movie.
• Each of the first two jets displayed a number of the then 151 Pokémon
characters. Due to the popularity of the aircraft, a third one was unveiled a
matter of weeks later. The three aircraft were introduced on numerous
domestic flights in Japan.

service on the airline's North American network.

63. • Shuckle is a non-evolving Pokémon, whose Defence and Special
Defence stat is (shared) highest amongst all known Pokémons, but
has the lowest Special Attack and Speed too.
• A fan theory says that this Pokémon is the origin of a certain
precious item, though other theories also say that they are found
because of the explosion of a factory producing them, a long time
ago.
• The theory points to a fact (or fiction) that if you have a Shuckle, and
you let it hold berry juice for a really long time it ferments and
eventually becomes a X.
• The berry juice to X mechanic is only available in Gen2.
• What object of desire do I speak of?

65. • It is used to increase the level of any
Pokémon by 1, thus saving the trainer from
having to battle to raise their Pokémon.
• While Rare Candy is an easier way to level up
a Pokémon, it isn't gaining any Effort Value
points, making the Pokémon somewhat
weaker than a normal Pokémon would have
been if was trained (assuming it could still get
the points).
15

66. • In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, this Pokémon, and
its pre-evolution form were known as "La" and "Ny".
• Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its
tendency to explode, it may have been based upon a
floating naval mine or living meteorite. It is also based
on smog and other forms of air pollution.
• Both of the their names are the corruption of varieties
of sounds made when someone is in a polluted
environment.
• What two Pokémons are these, and why La and Ny?

is leveled up, with a Remoraid in the party, to
make one of the stranger evolutions of the
Pokémon world.
• The inspiration for this special evolution is said to
come from the natural world, where a certain

78. • This Pokémon was originally known as "Orphon," a
corruption of the word "orphan," based on its

its mother's skull, which it wears. It also could be based
on primitive cultures that wore bones for decoration
and used them for weapons.
• Some theories also say that the name of the Pokémon
is a possible reference to its pale white head or that its
bone resembles ‘the white ball’ from billiards/snooker.
