The Video Game Nerd Game

All of the Team Rocket Executives in HG and SS are named after different rockets and missiles crafted in the real world. Each of the Team Rocket Executives has had their name changed from the original Japanese version to reflect a new rocket or missile name in the English versions.

O.o
That was good.

HAL Laboratories is pretty much only known for the Smash Bros series and the Kirby series, some of the lesser known games they've made are The Adventures of Lolo 1-3, Daydreamin' Davies, and Blade.

It's also little known that they helped with games such as Earthbound, Pokemon Snap, and Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2.

Thank you :3

The Nidorino that appears in Professor Oak's introduction in Red and Blue has the cry of a Nidorina.

I pretty much only know facts about Pokemon though.

That's cool, pokemon is completely awesome.

The Japenese version of Megaman 2, known as Rockman 2 Dr. Wily No Nazo, was poorly translated into English as the L's are replaced with R's. Dr. Light is actually Dr. Light and Crashman is actually Clashman.

An even worse translation of a video game is the famous Zero wing, who's Japanese creators didn't know any English. This has phrases such as "All your base are belong to us," "Someone set us up the bomb," and "What you say!?!?!"

Although with bad translations come great translations.

Animal Crossing was originally going to be a Japan only game, as the characters talked a lot about Japanese and other Asian cultures. However, Nintendo of America decided to try and translate it to fit North American cultures. Nintendo of Japan liked the translation so much, that they translated the North American cultured one back into Japanese to sell as a bonus disk for the Japanese cultured version. It was called Animal Crossing Plus.

If you deposit 999 pokemon in Pokemon Ranch, you can trade an egg for a Mew.

lol. I just deposited my hacked Mew into it.

In Super Mario RPG, you can fight the Final Fantasy boss Culex only after waiting until you've passed quite a bit of the game, buying fireworks, trading those fireworks for a shiny stone, and entering a door that Moster Town place (Forget the name ).
This boss is the hardest boss in the game and has well over 10000 hp. He's even harder than the final boss of the game.

The Bioshock character, Andrew Ryan, is actually a reference to the philosophical novelist, Ayn Rand.

In Japan the game Ice Climber had you club seals instead of those abominable snowmen

If you beat LoZ: Wind Waker and start a new game over that file, then your sister will be wearing a skull shirt and you will be playing the whole game in Link's Pajamas.

This one is simple:
The cake is a lie.

If the Phoenix Write song "Cornered" is played at the same time as the Cheetahmen II main theme, you will hear that the Phoenix Wright theme is based off of the Cheetahmen II theme and that they go very well together.

Shiny Pokemon actually existed in R/B/Y, but they just wouldn't appear to be shiny until you transferred them to G/S/C.

Actually, to elaborate on that, the Shiny system in G/S/C is based on a pokemon's EV statistic, so the mechanic of Shiny pokemon wasn't introduced until G/S/C, but pokemon in R/B/Y could become shiny based on their stats when transferred.

THe megaman 1 boxart art is a rushed attempt at trying to change the anime styled art from japan
