* In [[Generation II]], [[Bill's grandfather]] asks the player to bring him a ''round'', ''green'' Pokémon that has leaves growing on its head, which refers to Oddish. However, in those games, and in subsequent generations, Oddish's body (unless it is {{Shiny}}) is blue. The mistake might have been a translation error caused by the ambiguity of the word "aoi", which can mean both blue and green. This is fixed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. | * In [[Generation II]], [[Bill's grandfather]] asks the player to bring him a ''round'', ''green'' Pokémon that has leaves growing on its head, which refers to Oddish.

** Oddish's alias name is アルキメンデス ''Arukimendesu'', as stated in the Japanese version of FireRed as well as {{2v2|Red|Green}} Pokédex entry. This can either be seen as a corruption of ''{{wp|Archimedes}}'', the Greek mathematician, or as a direct reference to a popular Japanese instant noodles brand ''{{jwp|アルキメンデス|Archimendes}}'' that literally means ''instant noodles on the go''. The latter may reference Oddish's appearance when walking. | ** Oddish's alias name is アルキメンデス ''Arukimendesu'', as stated in the Japanese version of FireRed as well as {{2v2|Red|Green}} Pokédex entry.
