Pokémon as a franchise has delivered some pretty iconic figures over the years, right from the get-go, Brock was one of these. Taking Pokémon's colorful cast of elemental monsters aside for a moment, Pokémon delivers genuinely likable human characters – in all its mediums. Similar to our recent trip into Sabrina and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:LT. Surge's closets, we're giving Brock the same Super Fan treatment! ༺Without a doubt, anyone who's played the firs💞t game should at least know Brock and Misty – these two mostly because of the anime if not in-game progression.
For people like myself, Brock is the first gym leader you face. Choosing Charmander, I struggled. W♌ith enough time, you can grind the Viridian Forest to crawl a party of two or three up to level 20! Going up against his signature and combination is still as clear as day in my mind. How can you not have some nostalgia for Brock? Even if you're not a fan of the game but en🌠joy the cartoon, you'll probably have great memories of him falling for every woman he sees as Ash's companion.
As before, we'll be looking into each medium to find some of the most bizarre things about Brock, from his dreams and ambitions to his secret stash of hidden Pokémon – is Brock actually stronger💯 than the game lets on? Hidden talents, controversial lines, and proof that Brock is nothing more than a swindler! It's all herein, so without any hesitation let's fire up the fame checker and bang on our boulder badge! Brock wants to fight!
25 The First Pokémon Breed𒁃er ﷽
You'll find no trace of this in the original Red, Green & Blue Versions. Apparently, he didn't get the ambition until Pokémon Yellow Version, and yes, of course, this was to match h🍌is anime counterpart.
Breeding Pokémon didn't become a feature until Generation II, where gender extended beyond Nidoran.
Just like Ash seeing Ho-Oh in the first episode, breeding was meant for Generation 1; just look at Ditto's appearance 𝓀in the ꧃first Generation.
24 𝓀 Brock Do🦹esn't Play By The Rules!
When I mentioned earlier that Brock was a swindler, these claims aren't without concrete evidence. Don't you see, Pokémon fans, the answers, and proof were right in front of us all along! In Pokémon Red, Green, Blue & Yellow Versions, Brock's Onix knows the move: Bide. Onix can only learn the move Bide at level fifteen, however, the Onix we fight is either level twelve or fourteen depending on the version you're playing. Furthermore, in HeartGold and SoulSilver versions, he has a Rhyhorn with the Sturdy ability, despite Rhyhorn𓄧 not being able to posses Sturdy.
23 Rhyhorn With Thunder Fang! 🐓
Evidence pointing to Brock being a cheater is reinforced by the special appearance in his party. In the Generation II remakes of HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has a Rhyhorn with Thunder Fang that you can obtain from him in a trade for a Bonsly – probably to match his anime counterpart. You can find Brock in Diglett's Cave every day between 5 pm and 8 pm, but he'll only trade on Saturday. He's good for a photo taking though any other day, it's also worth mentioning you'll need his Pokégear number.
22 🔴 Fossil Collection!
Brock's love for his specialist element, Rock-type, extends further than you might think. In addition to his parties throughout his many appearances in the games, Brock has collected a fair few Fossil Pokémon.
To be specific: Kabutops, Omastar, Aerodactyl, and Rampardos.
First seen using Fossil Pokémon in Generation II, to coincide, Brock's manga counterpart uses Kabutops and Omastar in his party. This natural love he has for Fossil-Pokémon should come as no surprise, the fact he uses Aerodactyl in his party could suggest that he got his hands on 🌳some Old Amber at the Pewter Museum of Science.
21 Doctor Brock! ꧟
Brock's last known main ambition was to become a Pokémon Doctor. This is hardly surprising, given Brock's interest in Pokémon care and breeding. A Pokémon Doctor is a trainer who focuses on healing sick and injured Pokémon, like Nurse Joy. In the games, Pokémon D❀octors were introduced in Generation V, and when beaten in battle, Doctors would allow the player to heal their party once. Additionally, Doctors' knowledge ap🍸pear to be highly sought after, they know what berries to use to heal, what conditions Pokémon are in, and some are considered 'masters' of evolution. A noble goal, Brock!
20 🎀 Brock Harrison?
Brock's voice actor of ten years, the legendary , actually revealed Brock's surname to fans in 2006. According to Eric Stuart, Brock's Surname is actually Harrison. Now, whether or not this is a direct translation from whatever his Japanese surname was is uncertain. One thing we do know however is that this is most likely true. Eric gave an interview with K-Magazine in 2006 and further evidence to support his claim has been hinted at in the anime. We've never had word from Sugimori whether or not this is true, but the fact it hasn't been disproven by the Pokémon franchise says something about Stuart's claim.
19 𓄧 Secret Pokéstash!
In Pokémon Origins, Brock is seen to have many Pokémon. When Red confirms he has no gym badges, Brock chooses Onix and Geodude. Some of the most compelling evidence that Gym leaders possess ꧒lots of Pokémon of varying strengths, so they can keep t🔯he battle fair.
Under those circumstances, I'd love to be a gym leader!
Having as many Pokémon as I'd liked and challenging people fairly sounds like fun! Though, a lot of Brock'💧s Poké Balls must🧸 contain the same Pokémon, surely? Or are there more than just Rock-type Pokémon in there?
18 Origins' ꧃Brock Design
Another way that Brock stands out in Pokémon Origins is with his appearance. Despite the fact that most other characters look more like their Firered and Leafgreen counterparts, Brock's design is more similar to his Heartgold and Soulsilver sprite. Origin's design changes were clever and nostalgic for me, 💜it hit me right in the childhood seeing all our iconicꦚ moments brought to life once more.
17 🥃 Giving Brock The꧒ Chop
Shockingly, Brock almost found himself completely axed from the original Anime. Many things have changed over the years in the anime, especially when it comes to appeasing the multicultured audiences around the world. Brock was taken out because the creators thought that he may be perceived as having a stereotypical design, and so, we got Tracey Sketchit in Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands. However, it had an adverse effect where people were outraged by the decision the creators made. So after the Orange Isles, Brock came back, much to the fans delight. Tracey was never the most popular of companion🧜s anyway.
16 ﷺ ܫ Two Perfect Girls
Before we get into the crazy, obsessive and borderline stalker-styled song that Brock sang in the Johto League; let's take a second to thank Lord Phillock for fantastic piece of fan art. Pokémon has had many great hits over the years, from the likes of the "" to the introdu🅠ctory songs.
Music's something that's only got better and better as Pokémon has gone on.
During his accompanying of Ash through the Johto League, Brock actually lost his marbles with his over-powering crush on the Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys of the Pokémon world. He sang a borderline-creepy tune titled "" and the song found fame on the Pokémon CDs available fꦑor purchase. Definitely throwing this skeleton in the old closet, eh, Brock?
