want to have appleton as one of my favorite galler pokemon to be honest but i also really do love him a lot so i think i'll just suppress this knowledge for the rest of my life yeah sounds like a plan going from pokedex entries to pokedex numbers we have one fact that i've actually shared before but it's basically the poster child of pokemon facts you would rather not know so i'm gonna share it again the pokemon like a tongue is notorious for being associated with some well things and it seems that even game freak themselves are not above making these connections according to former localizer nob ogasawara he believes that likitung was given spot number NUMBER_TOKEN in the pokedex because in japanese the number is pronounced as yakuhachi this rhymes with the term shakuhachi which is a slang term for knob doesn't think it's any coincidence that these details fit together so nicely and unfortunately i gotta say it does make a lot of sense so now that you have refused to click off this video i hope you now enjoy associating that fact with lickitung for time and all eternity next up we're going to refer once again to the pokemon anime novelization that i brought up when talking about ash's mom another detail that this novelization explains is why the pokemon centers of the pokemon world as well as the police force are entirely employed by women nurse joy and officer jenny are two more classic female characters from the anime and while the anime talks about why all the officer jennies and nurse joys look alike it doesn't really go into why the entire police force and all the pokemon centers are employed by them well in the anime novelization it actually does explain this and the answer is rather morbid these books explain that most major jobs in the pokemon world like nurses and cops are filled by women because most of the grown men in the pokemon world are bums and failures no joke the novelization states that most boys end up becoming pokemon trainers but most of them end up failing at it and since you can become a trainer at NUMBER_TOKEN years old by the time most of these guys realize that they've failed they've lost the opportunity to gain any other skills that they can use to contribute to society so they just end up as bums and the females have to pick up the slack that is incredibly sad and a good example of why it's probably a good thing that we don't have pokemon in the real world another thing about the pokemon world that comes from this novelization that's also very creepy is that in the pokemon world children can get married the novelization explains that NUMBER_TOKEN year olds can go out in the world and become trainers because NUMBER_TOKEN is the age when people are considered adults it talks about how this doesn't just apply to pokemon training however and it applies to all adult things including getting married the book states quote if they were so inclined an NUMBER_TOKEN year old boy and girl are even free to marry without parental consent so yeah there's your answer as to why NUMBER_TOKEN year olds can be in control of terrifying monsters i guess in hindsight we probably asked why this was a little too much without thinking that we might actually get an answer and that answer might not be something we particularly enjoy but now we all have to live with this cursed knowledge forever and last but not least i
