Thread: Your Mind=Blown Moments in the Games

The stage in Elesa's gym and the spotlight and screen

When I realized Kakuna is wearing a tie.

When I realized that Oddish is basically an onion with legs. I have no idea how it took me so long to notice this; I guess I just never thought about it before.

I was in the Battle Factory, just going along with an Infernape, when I see a girl that says, "To get this far, I had to make sacrifices. Many,many sacrifices." I was also considering doing a Nuzlocke on my next run of Platinum, when I realized the game was referencing the Nuzlocke. Mind=blown.

There were some mind-blowing moments for me when I was playing through Black 2.

First was when the city was bombarded by Kyurem's ice attacks. That was intense.

Then there was later when Ghestis (still can't spell his name) tried to kill you. That was a pretty dark moment for the series.

And then there was the cutscene of the Absofusion between Kyurem and Zekrom.

The little bits of world-building, especially in Pokéstar Studios, specifically that sappy moves are still loved and more importantly that not only do people apparently travel together but training is often used to get a mate, not pure power. And from Cedric that Pokémon kill each other for food (I know it was in previous games, but I'm pretty sure he's the first non-Pokédex confirmation) and don't just eat mounds of berries.

When I realized that Cloyster looked like genitalia...

Expecting to fight the champion, then seeing N's castle pop up :o

When going to the Virbank complex at night on a rainy day. The reflection of the lights on the water is wonderful, very peaceful :D

My mind=blown moment was when I found out that ramoraid, octillery, and mantine are based off of the evolution of weapons.

Where does Platinum reference to Nuzlocke?

I know Remoraid and Otillery, but Mantine as well? What is it based off?

Also, the moment when I realized the blue thing on Akuroma's head wasn't a decoration... it was his hair...

Golett's B2 Pokedex entry:

Ancient science fashioned this Pokémon from clay. It's been active for thousands of years.

In my headcanon I'd figured the little guys had been locked in the Tower for who knows how long. This gave credence to that theory.

MIND=BLOWN!!

When I realised that any of the Zubats I've killed/run from could have had Pokerus. :ll

Oh, and,

When I realized that Volcarona was a moth, not a butterfly. What's even worse is that I have a giant fear of moths, yet Volcarona is one of my favorite pokemon.
