* The Japanese and international {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}} have different sprites for Slowpoke, with the Japanese versions having a fatter and striped belly similar to that which Slowbro and Slowking sport. It is unknown why this was changed. However, its striped underside is still partially visible in all of its Gold and Crystal sprites. This striped belly does not appear to be a true error, as it has been seen in artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]], though it is from [[Generation I]]. | * The Japanese and international {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}} have different sprites for Slowpoke, with the Japanese versions having a fatter and striped belly similar to that which Slowbro and Slowking sport.

* Like {{p|Mantyke}}, Slowpoke evolves when another Pokémon attaches to it, however this was only seen in the anime. Proximity-based evolution such as requiring Mantyke and {{p|Remoraid}} to be in the same party were not introduced until Generation IV. Despite the fact that other Pokémon, such as {{p|Feebas}}, have been given additional evolution methods for evolving into the same Pokémon, Shellder still has no bearing on Slowpoke's evolution. | * Like {{p|Mantyke}}, Slowpoke evolves when another Pokémon attaches to it, however this was only seen in the anime.

* Slowpoke's National Pokédex number is the whole number portion of its weight in pounds. It is one of only two Pokémon with this distinction; the other is {{p|Scyther}}. | * Slowpoke's National Pokédex number is the whole number portion of its weight in pounds.

* Despite numerous Pokédex entries stating its lack of response to a bite on its tail, in [[Pokémon Snap]] it is shown to quickly react to Shellder's bite. This may be due to Shellder's venom stimulating a quicker response, or simple an error or game mechanic to speed the process along. | * Despite numerous Pokédex entries stating its lack of response to a bite on its tail, in [[Pokémon Snap]] it is shown to quickly react to Shellder's bite.
