So, here I am playing Pokemon again after quite a bit of a hiatus, and I notice that there are some pretty interesting things in the game. Things that'll make you think, or wonder, or, if you have a really strong imagination, wish you hadn't noticed some of them. A few that come to me right off the bat:

Female Makuhita/Hariyama
Male Gardevoir
Getting KOed by Leech Life/Absorb/Mega Drain/Giga Drain/etc.
Bite and Crunch, both physical attacks, use the Special Attack stat.
Ghost attacks use Attack, not Special Attack.
Gyarados is Flying-type, but does not fly.
Seedot can actually be male or female.
Grass-types lay eggs.
The only grass/flying type pokemon is based on the largest and heaviest of all dinosaurs.
Bug is resistant to Fighting (?!?)
Dark is weak to Bug (?!?)
There is still only one pokemon that evolves anywhere in the last 40 levels out of the 100 that are available.
Still, only legendary pokemon (and very few of them) actually learn new moves anywhere in the last 30 levels.
The last 30 or so levels of the 100 a pokemon can get in the game don't really mean much of anything, near as I can tell.

Anyone else got anything?
