* The Japanese and international versions of {{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 {{v2|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 versions of {{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.

* 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 simply 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.
