* Then there are the analyses from the fourth gen, which are just as good in their own way. In particular, the one for [[http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/kakuna Kakuna]] is hilarious due to being [[TheComicallySerious written in the style of an actual analysis]]...at least [[DoubleTake until you look a bit more closely]]...
--> "'''''Choice''''': This is your standard Choice sweeper. With Bug Bite, Kakuna is not walled by the likes of Steelix and Steel-type Arceus. As a matter of fact, Bug Bite's addition lowers max HP / max Def Steelix from a 94HKO to a 36HKO. Max HP Steel-type Arceus is now a 25HKO, while min HP/Def Psychic Arceus is a 22HKO.

* The Arceus articles, pure ham.

* The Arceus articles, pure ham.
articles' Introductions evoke [[LargeHam hammy]] PurpleProse.
* The 2013 April Fools' Day joke had the sprites used on the simulator replaced with fanmade sprites made by the community...but this being April Fools' Day, the sprites were ''incredibly'' OffModel. And the ones that weren't just blatantly OffModel often were either drawn in {{chibi}} style or contained {{Shout Out}}s; the number of references the artists managed to sneak in just boggles the mind. [[http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/afd/ It has to be seen to be believed.]]
** For April Fools' Day 2014, not only did Pokemon Showdown! add Kalos sprites, but each April Fools' Day sprite got a shiny version, with some shinies having an extra layer of humor. That's 3,734 new shinies!

--> "'''Other Options:''' You can literally run any type of Hidden Power! Unown has an option for every type and its power knows no limits—other than being hit by any other opposing Pokemon, of course. Unown wouldn't want to learn any other moves anyway, because it does not need them. Hidden Power is all it needs to wreak havoc, cause despair, and spread fear amongst the opposing team. Using stronger moves such as the boring Fire Blast, Hydro Pump, or Draco Meteor would make Unown a little girl who can't fight and likes to risk a miss that could cost you a game. Unown is no gambler."
