Surprising Stuff in Pokemon

Something I found on the "Police Are Useless" page over at TVTropes.

In Red/Blue/Yellow/FireRed/LeafGreen, an officer is outisde a house in Cerulean City and when you go in, there's a huge hole in the wall, go through the hole, and you're in the backyard and the thief is still there. Granted, YOU as the PLAYER can't go into the house immediately, but the officer is RIGHT THERE and he could've gone inside the house and see the huge hole in the wall. Even if he couldn't defeat the thief in a pokemon battle, he could've at least seeen him.
 
Was Cyrus ever able to escape from Giratina's dimension (forgot the name of the place)?
 
I deduced that Pokemon actually bleed when they are hit. Proof? Brine. It does more damage when they are on low health, i.e. are bleeding since salt hurts a lot when it gets in wounds.

No, since you just captured the only way to escape. Also, it's called the distortion world.
 
Why are all the twins (except for Tate) girls? Why not have boy/mixed gender twins?

Also, why make Tate a boy in the first place? Prior to learning their names, or watching the anime (which is how I figured out Tate's a boy), people are going to mistake Tate for a girl anyway. Seriously, first Bugsy and now Tate?

I'm not sure why there aren't any boy twins, but I can explain why there aren't any mixed gender. Identical twins are generally more well-known as twins than fraternal twins, and identical twins must have the same gender.

Still, having same gender identical twins is boring and cliche.

It's impossible to have different gendered identical twins. You can only have it on fraternal twins.

I agree that it's stereotypical to always have twins as identical. They should put more fraternal twins in the games, but unfortunately, identical twins are more recognizable than fraternal.
 
Still, having opposite gender twins would actually educate some people that the word "twins" merely means siblings born at the same time, not necessarily the same gender.

Not really surprising, more like laziness/lack of creativity on the developers' part, but starting with Blaziken, every fire starter gained fighting as a second type upon evolving.

I agree. That's why I always chose the grass type from Gen 3 onwards.
