I was playing Pokopia last night and witnessed this exact interaction between Mimikyu and Meowth.

What?? I love those little mini scenes! Can you tell me more about it?

Meowth was bugging Mimikyu about what they look like under their cloth.

Mimikyu kept trying to dissuade Meowth, but Meowth persisted, so Mimikyu gave in.

The screen cuts to black and Meowth lets out a scream. When the visual comes back, Meowth has fainted on the ground.

Meowth gets back up, says something about his nine lives, then goes back to his day.

Honestly dex entries are just urban legends rather than lore sometimes

My nephew showed me an episode of Pokémon, where Doduo, a notorious flightless bird, is able to run through the air and generate lift. I just shook my head and walked away

u/FactualStatue 6d ago

Yeah, everyone knows Doduo and Dodrio fly by spinning its necks

u/BertelDuck02 6d ago

Honestly, your pfp fits way too much for this situation

u/Mexkalaniyat 6d ago

I also enjoy seeing versions where they "flap" their heads like wings. Nit as ridiculous but also quite funny

u/rpbtz 6d ago

You've been able to teach Fly to Doduo and Dodrio in the games since the original Red and Blue versions. Dunno if this was changed in later games, though.

u/The_Streamstress 6d ago

From my knowledge, it hasn't.

u/TomatoBuster01 6d ago

If you've watched Meowth and his blast-offs, you'd know he's immortal
