It's interesting to know that evolving your starter before catching anything can actually break the game. I wonder if it's still possible to do that, unless Game Freak has made that impossible now. Another cool fact was about how Ditto is a failed experiment of Mew. It makes sense since Ditto doesn't really feel natural, but more of some imitation machine that copies the soul of its opponents (Because it doesn't have a soul).
