I can't remember who, but I swear one of the g1-3 guys would research what their pokemon evolved into but I can't find the page or dexholder and I don't have time to fully reread all of those volumes. Am I mixing up Pokemon media?
Kinger implies in episode 7 that Caine caused the first abstraction, but they don't expand on this. Maybe I'm just being an idiot but I don't get it.
From what I have read on Bulbapedia, having Yellow's name appear in 2 languages (the main language of the book (in this case English) and Spanish) was a creative decision made by the VIZ Media localization team.
How did this panel of them saying Yellow's name twice work in the original? Was one of the bubbles different?
In the Yellow arc, it is drawn attention to that Pika has a scar that Yellow can't heal, but it seems to disappear following said arc. Is it an error, was it supposed to be assumed it healed once given enough time (as GSC takes place a year later), an abandoned detail?
(Images, in order, are the Yellow arc, GSC arc, and FRLG arc.)
