Trivia / Pokémon Shuffle

• Completely Different Title: Pokémon Shuffle is actually called PokéToru (combination of Pocket Monsters and the word toru (とる, possibly means "to capture")) in Japan. For the mobile port, Pokémon Shuffle Mobile is called PokéToru Smartphone Version in Japan.
• Dummied Out:
  • Pretty much every unreleased Pokémon, Mega Stone, Skill and Mega Effect are this until they're released in a later update. They can be found in the game's code but are unusable. However, if one manages to hack the unreleased (at the time) Pokémon in, they'll possess an index number of 999 and non-final typing/Skill/attack power/all of them^* For example, Keldeo Resolute Form being a Water-type instead of Fighting, having 70 base attack power instead of 60, and possessing Last-Ditch Effort instead of Power of 4+ as its Skill.. As for the latter's case, most of the time the "yet-to-be-released" Pokémon ended up possessing stock base power and/or Skill not matching with the Pokémon at all (like, hilariously, a 50 BP Kyurem with Vitality Drain(?!)). If a Pokémon can Mega Evolve but the Mega Stone is yet to be implemented, the Mega Evolution will still work but it can only function like Mega Audino (erasing all icons within one space of a match) and even shares Mega Audino's type after Mega Evolution (Normal).
  • Like the regular Genesect, the Shiny Genesect has sprites◊ that can be assembled into its full, "big" animated graphic like with certain Pokémon (Kanto starters, most Mega Evolutions, certain legendaries, etc.). Despite this, the battle still uses its puzzle icon unlike regular Genesect, making the battle graphics this.
• Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things: Allegedly, the reason of 1,000-Coin limit for obtainable Coins in non-Special stages in the mobile version is due to a game-breaking exploit involving Meowth's stage (the Main one, obviously) where hackers can set Meowth's disruption countdown to 0 and, as the stage plays by itself due to Meowth constantly bombarding the puzzle area with Coins, said hackers can simply leave the game be until Meowth faints from the skyfall matches. Meowth's "torture" can be dragged out longer (thus rewarding more Coins) by using an all-Ghost team, which Meowth's type resists. Some people are still not happy about this limit, though some others don't care or disagree with the former because they're already aware of the cash-grabbing nature of the mobile version. Fortunately, a mid-March 2016 Log In rewards the mobile players Coins based on how many Coins obtained above the 1,000-Coin cap in every instance that such thing happened, though the Coin limit is still there (albeit rather high at 3,000; keep in mind that this is not for event Meowth stages which already has a very high cap in the first place).
