  1. bluMyst says:

    I can’t believe I never noticed this! It was so obvious!

  2. Pokénerd says:

    Well known fact for nerds of almost 10 years. If you noticed it yourself, you’re probably Mexican/Spanish, or a nerd. Or both.

  3. Feel_good says:

    Well done you for noticing something most people figured out in 1996.

  4. brechty says:

    why u no has moustaches???

  5. fraentic says:

    Perhaps they aren’t mexicans, perhaps Tajiri was thinking about Spain cause Japanese love Spain and one of the cities showed in a movie are based on a Spanish city.

    P.S. Not all the people who speak spanish are mexican

  6. Razor says:

    OMFG.

  7. SunnySundays says:

    1996 called, they want their joke back

  8. bobby Mcfredson says:

    Holy crap, I don’t know anyone who DIDN’T know this atleast 13 years ago

  9. J2Rock says:

    ArcticUNO… Forever Alone?

  10. El mustio says:

    puff its a fact that almost EVERY SINGLE mexican had taked a shot of tequila with a pokemon at least once in its life

  11. Henry Aird says:

    1998, Pokemon came out in Japan in 1996 but they had different names in Japan. LOL @ “No one knew Spanish back then”.

  13. Mettan says:

    A little bit of trivia…..their names were originally Freezer, Thunder, and Fire. No, seriously!

  14. pooptato says:

    I for one am thankful for this. I had never noticed. Thank you creator.

  15. mata-ratos says:

    Morons. Not everyone knows their Castilian (yeah, the language isn’t called spanish) with 4 years old. >.<

    • McFawlkes says:

      Actually it is Spanish. To the entire English speaking world, it is Spanish. Hence; Uno, Dos, Tres = One, Two, Three in Spanish.

      The reason you refer to it as Castillian is probably in reference to the ancient name for the language. From the Kingdom of Castile, which has not existed for quite a while. The country of Spain has been around for over 500 years (15th C. says Wikipedia).

      Also, most people who played Pokemon at that time weren’t four, many were anything from four to twenty.

      Now, I’ll get off my high horse if you get off yours.

      • nunor says:

        Both of you are incorrect. Castilian is the name given to the standard form of Spanish, spoken in Spain. It’s not the ancient name of the language, neither it is the only way of calling it (Spanish spoken in Argentina is not called Castilian).

        • McFawlkes says:

          So I’m assuming that when the Spanish refer to their language as Espanol, they aren’t saying they speak Spanish? Wow, didn’t know that. I’ll have to tell them that the next time I go to Spain on my holidays, they will be surprised.

          Hablo Espanol?
          No, you’re actually speaking Castillian, didn’t you know?

          • Bob says:

            Actually, they usually refer to it as “Castellano,” so don’t be a ponce.

            • Nairu says:

              True, I’m from Spain and I usually say ‘Castellano’, which would be translated as ‘Castilian’, instead of saying ‘español’.

              • Uruguay dude says:

                I’m actually uruguayan and IDK WTF I speak… I thought I knew, but now I don’t anymore. TYVM

      • matarratos says:

        I spoke about 4 four years old because that was my age in 1996. I, being Portuguese, didn’t know much words in… that language, whatever is it called, back then. NO high horse here :)
        About the name. As I mentioned early, I am Portuguese. Therefore, I am aware of the differences in a language based in where is it spoken. Brazilian Portuguese is way different from the Portuguese spoken in Portugal. They have words we have not, write the words we have in common in a different way, and the speech doesn’t even remotely sound the same. But the language is called Portuguese, and I was always told by the language course ads that I could learn to speak Castilian – or castelhano around here – but never Spanish – or espanhol – because the language overaged the country itself.
        The only high horse that I am riding is when I assume that the form spoken in the country who “created” or adopted the language in the first place (in the case of these two countries things can be seen like this, you will understand) should prevail in case of doubt – that feeling being fed each time I see things in an adultered language in the web referred to as portuguese but wrote by nearly-illiterate Brazilians.

    • shoopy says:

      Spanish =/= Castillian
      Castillian = /= Spanish
      You =/=Smart

    • MikeLitoris says:

      It’s funny how none of the ones that argue about this know about linguistics and the evolution of the language and its name LOL

    • Castilla-La Mancha says:

      In Spain we say Castellano instead of Spanish because the other languages in Spain (Català, Valencià, Bable, Euskara, Galego, Llionés…) are Spanish Languages too. To give the name “Spanish” only to one of them wouldn’t be fair although Castilian is the most common one.

      • What on earth did you smoke? Catalan, Valenciano, Euskara, etc, are NOT SPANISH!!!!!! they are spoken within SPAIN, yes, but they are not part of the language known as SPANISH, is it so hard for people to realise that what we know as mexican, colombian, argentinian, etc, are simply dialects of the same language, all with their own different words and expressions, and not just outside of spain, Andalucian and Madrileño for example. Castellano is the original name for the language when stated as oficial by the reino de castilla after the “reconquista” from the moors. What was left behind where other languages like the ones you mentioned (catalan, gallego, etc..) which are simply leftovers from before the reconquista. Today however, while we may call it Castellano, it is more commonly considered as the version of spanish spoke in spain (regardless of inner dialects), but the language as a whole (spoken all around the world) is known as SPANISH.

        PS: To the guy who said they spoke spanish in italy… Y U NO GET A BRAIN?

        PSS: get your facts right, jelly much?

  16. Sou_Lee says:

    MOltres ZApdos ARTicuno
    MOZART

  17. Teraku says:

    Oh yeah, they’re Mexican. Not Spanish or anything. Nope.

    Americans seriously need to stop acting like they’re the only place in the world. OTHER PLACES EXIST AND YOU ARE NOT THE BEST COUNTRY EVER.

    • Alex says:

      Mexico is part of America?

      I’m American and I don’t fall under the stereotype. I really don’t like the image this country gets thanks to the 30% of the people here that are fat and/or stupid.

      • MountainYard says:

        Yes, Mexico is part of America…
        USA is not America. America is a continent of the world, It consists of South and North America. So actually, Canadians, Mexicans, Brazillians and every other people in South and North America are Americans.

      • UKSponge360 says:

        yes, Mexico is part of America, it is not, however, part of the United States ;-)

        and c’mon people, some of us recognised this as soon as we saw the names, and we were children at the time…

      • Anotherbritishperson says:

        About 34% of Americans are obese, and 32.7% are overweight. these statistics are independent of each other as well making 66.7 percent of americans overwieght. The average IQ of america is 98, making it the 22nd smartest country. Only about 10 percent of american adults know what radiation is, fewer than a third can identify DNA as a key to heredity and one adult American in five thinks the Sun revolves around the Earth.

        http://codi.buffalo.edu/graph_based/.demographics/.statistics.htm

        According to that web-site 1 in 5 people are disabled in some way.

        This is not supposed to be a personal attack against your or america. I am just trying to make your realise that your once great nation isn’t the world dominator that it once was and you need to stop blaming the minority (which isn’t even the minority any more) for tarnishing your countries reputation and instead try to do something to stop people doing it.

        • HedShawt says:

          Thank you for proving me when saying, “Everyone hates the USA, including their’s allies.” I weight 150-ish pounds (I haven’t weighed my self in over 6 months, I really don’t give a shark.) Senior year in high school I had mostly A’s with a few B’s in my AP classes. Radiation is what makes you feel hot when you’re in the sun (simplest definition I can give.) DNA (also know as Deoxyribosenucleic acid (or something like that.) (or, in one of my favorite jokes, the National Dyslexics Association.) anyways!) is stored in the Chromatin in the nucleus in your cells. I’m pretty sure the information is stored in the hydrogen bonds or something, but (countering what you believe) I’m not using Google. Ok, that Sun fact must be very wrong, I don’t see how ANYONE (except people under the age of 5) can think the sun revolves around earth.

        • Will says:

          Yes, the US has problems. We who live here are well aware of them. You don’t come across as clever by constantly reminding us of the things we already know.

          Need I remind you: WE LIVE HERE. WE KNOW.

          And believe me, it’s often worse than you can describe it with just statistics.

          However, not everyone fits your statistics… and it’s not like those of us who don’t have any particular debt to the rest of the world to throw our lives away on a futile mission to try to fix those who DO fit the statistics… especially since those who do obviously have no intention of even trying to fix themselves… or think that there’s nothing wrong with the Middle Ages mentality of Christianity, ignorance, gluttony, and violence in the first place… ugh.

          In short, stereotyping is OLD and intellectually bankrupt, especially when dealing with heterogeneous populations. Just drop it.

          • Invisible_Jester25 says:

            Wow, obvious trolling fail. He’s right. Stereotyping IS old, and it’s not funny unless it’s a meme. I bet I could find a stereotype for wherever you live and shoot it right back. Australian or New Zealander? You do it with sheep. From the UK? You have bad teeth. From Mexico? You’re a lazy drug-dealer. Calling every American “fat” is like calling every South African a Soccer-loving Vuvuzela blower. Please get over yourself and your stereotypes, nobody cares anymore. UMAD about that?

      • Peace says:

        30%? You’re thinking 98%, with a teensy sliver left over for the intelligents.

    • Mr.Maniac says:

      Oh, I thought America was the only place that existed, I must have been mistaken although I am not American. (read: from the USA)

      Thank you for noticing, you added something valuable there!

      But I was wondering what this had to do with this meme.

    • kano says:

      People like you give us a bad name. You act like every person in America is the same person and has the same exact thought. We’re not robots. Get off your high horse and go shrimp yourself

    • J2Rock says:

      I disagree on all points.

      And since we ARE the best country ever, your argument is invalid. :P

    • Telamo says:

      What the hell does this have to do with America being the best country ever? Maybe if you could see through you seemingly blind fiery hatred of Americans, maybe you would see the humor in this and not call out an entire country (on something that most of us DON’T EVEN BELIEVE TO BE TRUE, I might add) just because we happen to have a large number of Mexican immigrants. Yes, the guy who made this is probably American, but you know if he had wrote “They’re Spanish” then a whole bunch of stereotypical retards would be all “OH IM SUPRIZD HE DIDNT SEY MEXIKAN LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! AMARIKENZ IZ SO STOOPUD LOLOLOL”

      • Will says:

        I tip my hat to you, Telamo. I could not agree more.

        I would like to reiterate the point Telamo makes to our international friends here that many of us don’t believe America (yes, America) is all that great of a country anymore.

        I hate to directly reference Bill Maher here, but…

    • onefromspain says:

      +1 !!
      I’m from Spain, and I didn’t like this cartoon, because, It shows like Mexico is the only place on Earth that Spanish is spoken!
      Furthermore, Spanish was spoken for the first time in Spain!!

      • Invisible_Jester25 says:

        Well, to be fair, Mexico IS the closest Spanish-Speaking country that a lot of Americans know of. Of course, that excludes all of South America except Brazil, which speaks Portuguese, and of course, the Spanish language isn’t the same everywhere. Did you know many Americans can’t even point out where Peru or Chile are on a map, let alone Portugal or Spain? Sometimes I weep for my country.

      • el mar mediterrani says:

        Furthermore, Spain is the spanish country with less people who have spanish like first language.
        Aun asi, Espanya es el pais hispanohablente con menos gente que tiene el castellano como lengua materna

        Els espanyols no poden donar gaires lliçons sobre tòpics..

      • Actually it was spoken in the peninsula that is now know as spain before it was named as such but yeah :D

  18. Sarah says:

    That’s way too epic a mustache for a mexican! Don’t deny it!

  19. Puppitz says:

    Spanish…

  20. Ostiniatoze says:

    I was 4 in 1996, and I never noticed this

    oh and castillian is a dialect of Spain, i.e a subset of spanish

  21. Spanish Man says:

    Well I am spanish and spanish and castilian mean the same.

  22. Daniel says:

    According to the people of U.S.A. everyone who talks in spanish is mexican….thats just sad.

    And yes, the joke WAS fun in 1996 =/

    • Telamo says:

      Lol, well in our defense, are we really known for our large population of Portuguese and Spaniards? Usually, if you see somebody speaking Spanish here in the US, its probably a Mexican. Not to say it ALWAYS is, but there’s more illegal immigrants coming over the border everyday. Its just the quickest assumption to make, and yes its racist, but in a country with a massive amount of Mexicans, do you really expect to look at a Spanish speaking person and go “Oh, he must be from Argentina!”?

      • Alejandro says:

        Well, in Florida, they are either Cuban, Puerto Rican (if they even still speak proper spanish), or Colombian. In New Jersey (most specifically Elizabeth, NJ <3) 55% of the population is Colombian with only like 15% being Mexican. In Queens, New York, mostly around the Jackson Heights/Corona area of Northern Blvd. and 37th Ave. the vast majority are Colombian. Bronx is Dominican and Puerto Rican. Long Island is home to many Salvadorans, with there being two Embassies from El Salvador in LI. In Boston, I was called a Mexican, but when I stayed there not ONE spanish-speaking person I saw/met was Mexican (you can tell if they are Mexican just by hearing them speak). This probably only applies from the California-Texas area.

        • Invisible_Jester25 says:

          Seconded. I find it kinda sad that so many Latinos/Hispanics have to *specify what country they come from* in the USA. “NOPE LOLOL THEY R ALL TEH MEXY-KAN!” Stupid racist assumptions.

          • Alejandro says:

            And then Americans get mad and say “SAME THING”…*facepalm*…I understand that not all Americans are like that…but many really are.

    • HedShawt says:

      I speak Spanish. I’m not Mexican and I don’t have any Spanish descent. It’s called Spanish Class.

  23. Durandal says:

    OP Fail. I figured this out when I was 11. 13 years ago.

  24. ninja,please says:

    So if you speak spanish you are Mexican? O.o silly gringos!

  25. Venus says:

    ameri-bashers, Y U NO get hobby?

    Unless you’re a hacker that can trace this back to it’s original computer country of origin, well, I’m starting to think you’re obsessed with us…

  26. Born2Rock says:

    Am I the only one who didn’t notice this until now?

  27. Durandal says:

    Flounder

  28. Emerrrullld says:

    I shat bricks.

  29. Notru says:

    Everyone’s known about this since red and blue came out

  30. csng says:

    I’ve known about these parts of their names for years. Nothing new here

  31. CriticalQuit says:

    I noticed this ages ago.

    Apparently the new Pseudo-legendary, the Hydra one, is German, because its three stages are dEINo, ZWEIlous, and hyDREIgon.

    • ClosetKitteh says:

      Hydreigon is not a legendary. If it evolves to or from something then its not a legendary.

      • ClosetKitteh says:

        And if it can breed, with the exception of phione and manaphy

        • D'oh says:

          There are Legendearies and LEGENDARIES, the first ones are the mythical/rare mons, the others are the best to use in battles(if not banned for being OP), maybe he meant the other (i haven’t played it a while so i don’t know if the mon in question has good stats)

  32. ClosetKitteh says:

    This shall be the order of how I catch them in SoulSilver.

  33. Mauro says:

    So Lunatone and Solrock are mexican too?

  34. wasd says:

    Am I the only one that noticed the Los Campensinos reference in the mouseover?

  35. Mr. X says:

    i cannot believe this people starts a thread about this bullsquid….

  36. John says:

    lol its old…

  37. Marras says:

    Mexicans!!?? WTF people? Where the hell do you live? That’s spanish from Spain, which is the original languaje. Nobody in the whole world tell about a dammit american languaje.
    GO HELL WITH THIS!

  38. RA2H says:

    Yeah, I’ve known about the spelling since I was five. I thought it was cool, too.

  39. Fran says:

    So Deino, Sweilous and Hydreigon are Nazis because they use german numbers in their names? Gringos, Estoy decepcionado

  40. KZN02 says:

    Well, I read that Arcticuno was based on the quetzal, so …

  41. Quigs says:

    ekans=snake backwards
    arbok=kobra

    are there any names they do this with in the new generation

  42. lol says:

    SERIOUSLY?
    DID NO ONE EVER NOTICE THAT?
    REALLY?
    YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDIN ME THAT IS SO STUPIDLY OBVIOUS THAT I HAD NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS PLAYING CRYSTAL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD (and im only 18, see how young i was then)
    YOU HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY STUPID TO NOT HAVE NOTICED THAT IN ALL THIS TIME

  43. Monkeylove says:

    LOL
    @(MO)ltres (ZA)pdos a(RT)icuno
    MOZART

    Yeah I noticed this back when I was 7 years old

  44. chloe says:

    This was intentional. I saw this in the voting and was disappointed I couldn’t comment on it earlier.
    They put uno, dos and tres in the names of the birds because thats the order you find them in R,B and Y.

  45. Mach 7 ninja says:

    what about Porta-Rica-Chu?

  46. Oos says:

    Me gusta.

  47. Leeroy Jenkins says:

    Why is everyone realizing this now? Didn’t those games come out in lke 1995 XD

  48. Jemmy350 says:

    Slow to find out huh…

  49. osj777 says:

    it obvious why he said mexican because of he said “they’re spanish” the hat and stash wouldn’t work as well and it would ruin the whole joke and not get any attention i’ve seen way more racist meme then this a lot more racist

  50. Amexican says:

    I hate this because of the hat and moustache ¬¬ IN MEXICO ONLY THE %5 OF THE PEOPLE WEAR THOSE HATS AND HAVE SUCH MOUSTACHES

  51. ilbur says:

    Seriously? No one knew about this? NOOBS

  52. nukes says:

    you know they did it again with the new pokemon: dEINo, ZWEIlious, and hyDREIgon. just german.

  53. Jim says:

    Or Spanish?

  54. Iz says:

    Welcome to the 1990′s.
    Friendship bracelets and Playstaion 1′s and space hoppers for all!

  55. LL says:

    My native language is Portuguese, which is pretty similar to Spanish. So it was easy for me to notice when I was small.

  56. BehindMySarcasm says:

    How the hell did you not notice this before?

  57. Crook says:

    racist crab

  58. paradox boy says:

    ing at this because no matter that i noticed that in 1998, is still funny, then i saw the mexican crap and that pissed me of…

  59. BlackHand says:

    Old joke is lobstering gold

  60. Socks says:

    Maybe it’d be funnier if it wasn’t fully intentional on the part of those who designed the game, or if there weren’t people (millions of them, in fact) outside of Mexico who speak Spanish. =_=

  61. wfghjmk says:

    Its because articUNO is at island ONE, zapDOS is at island TWO, and molTRES is at island THREE. haha

  62. Sodapopping_Poprocker says:

    I knew this ^^ hard not to when you live in Laredo. :) And speak spanish because you are a mexican ^^

  63. Guas says:

    *yawn* WE ppl who speak spanish knew this since 3 years old, and not necesarry being mexicans (u know mexico isnt the only place which spanish is spoker, also spain, argentina, colombia, ecuador, venezuela,etc)

  64. Deathfinal says:

    Thats the biggest discovery since curly fries :D

  65. shareq says:

    Did anyone ever think this guy used “They’re Mexican!” instead of “They’re Spanish!” due to the fact that he would then have the opportunity to use the moustache and sombrero?

    Honestly, there are tons of countries where Spanish is spoken. He had to choose one. Just because he chose one that has easily recognizable symbols (and, possibly, the one closest to where he lives, if he’s American) doesn’t mean he is being exclusive to all other Hispanic countries.

  66. Tony says:

    ME GUSTA

  67. Osonari says:

    By the way…
    these names are because back then a high rank executive of Nintendo of America (a girl by the way, I believe the PR dir.) was friend with the editors of Club Nintendo, the official Nintendo Magazine for México and part of Latin America, so, as a hint she named the legendary pokemons as we know them in America, sorry for the bad english, I don´t use it much :P

  68. cbmlmz says:

    You mean nobody ever noticed!?!?

  69. Teraku says:

    “Oh, that guy’s speaking Spanish, he’s obviously from Mexico. Everyone in the world knows that.”

    No. Screw that. Maybe for you Americans, but for people from Europe and basically anywhere in the world, they’re usually from SPAIN. Not Mexico.

    • Teraku says:

      Not to mention that Pokemon is minke whale. There’s like, what? 35 games? It should’ve ended with the GBA. It’s just a series they’re milking out now. Nintendo can kiss my ass.

    • Drakonid says:

      Mexico has 3 times the population Spain has, so stfu.(inb4, no I’m not mexican)
      Also, good job on taking 15 years to realize something

  70. Nivek says:

    Those pokemon were named in Spanish, not in Mexican. I’m Spanish, and i know it.

  71. Flexar says:

    Spanish is apparently Mexican now.

  72. say what! says:

    That means that they speak spanish… Almost all latin america hates Mexican…

  73. bernameme says:

    ta bueno
