== Knights of Legend: flavor text and class descriptions == HIGHWAYMAN - A big man and strong, he could best most men barehanded, or split a pegged log with a single blow.

BARBARIAN - ''...At first, I thought they might be the rest of the Giant tribe, but when they came closer I saw that they were humans. My saviors laid into the Giants with a reckless courage that bordered insanity. Most were armed with greatswords and axes... [Later,] I was told they considered weapons that leave the hand cowardly.''

WARRION - ''After a few hours [in a swamp], you are sure that insects must be the dominant form of life and that in some insidious way the tangled overgrowth conspires to drag you to your death. [...] When I first spied the bodies, I could not tell what they were, but as I grew close I saw that there were nearly a score of men lying dead at the sides of the road. [...] As I rode away, I thought I glimpsed several figures in the cover of the trees. Black-skinned they were, but humans for sure.''

PLAINSMEN - ''They are nomadic, wandering their lands free of the burdens permanent dwellings represent. [...] I was told they were archers of unsurpassed skill.''

USIP - The manual says: "Peaceful and unaggressive, they had no way to defend themselves and were unable to bring themselves to confront what they believed was a race of deadly savages". This is completely inaccurate (never trust a manual): Usip elves are the deadliest archers in the game.

PYAR - The manual says: "The Pyar are rogue elves. [...] The only elves to engage in open trade with the other peoples of Ashatalarea".

MALE KLVAR - The manual says: "These peaceful creatures generally choose not to use weapons of any kind, preferring to devote their efforts to arcane learning". This is completely wrong (never trust a manual): male Klvar have the lowest intellect and the top strength among elves. One Klvar elf is named Glandamin, but if you choose to use this name in the game, only "Gland" will be displayed.

MELOD - The manual just describes the beautiful music made by these elves, but this is completely unrelated to gameplay.

BREKLAND - The manual just tells the tale of a Brekland elf named Gurps, who left his homeforest looking for trouble.

THISM - The manual says: "Uncommon courage and sense of duty".

Category:Mega Man
Notice that in the early titles the North American art is very different from the original Japanese, but the European box art depicts a Mega Man that is closer to the original.

The following games have no box artwork:
 * Mega Man: The Power Battle (arcade only)
 * Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters (arcade only)
 * Mega Man 9 (released online only)
 * Mega Man 10 (released online only)
 * Street Fighter X Mega Man (released online only)

=== Street Fighter X Mega Man === All this has still to be verified.


 * Unlocking Akuma and Sagat

To unlock Akuma try:
 * 4 or less perfect victories in the first 8 fighters, but NOT Boxer or Claw
 * 3 or less perfect victories in the first 8 fighters, PLUS Boxer (or Claw)

To unlock Sagat try:
 * 4 or less perfect victories in the Teleport System, but NOT Boxer or Claw
 * 3 or less perfect victories in the Teleport System, PLUS Boxer (or Claw)


 * Important Password:

4 victories (Blanka, Rose, Rolento, Urien), 3 perfect ones, 4 E-Tanks

This password allows to easily unlock Akuma, if you get one further perfect victory (e.g. against Dhalsim or the Boxer?); furthermore, it allows to maximize the number of E-Tanks, because the four stages containing E-Tanks are still to be cleared.

The password was obtained by collecting the 4 E-Tanks without beating those four stages.

Forest Whip: 1 dmg: Hockey Man, Volcano Man, Rolling Man, Lightning Man.

Scientific classification of Pokémon
From a taxonomical point of view, there are 76 Pokémon species, instead of 151.

What the Western translations of the videogames call "evolution" is actually growth from young to adult. Also, what is called "species" in the videogames is actually a life stage, e.g. young, cocoon or adult.

Of all the Pokémon species, the vast majority is inspired to real animals existing in nature, and they can be classified according to Lynnaeus method. Note that Lynnaeus lived one century before Darwin and the formulation of the scientific theory of evolution (Note also that "scientific theory" means "set of correlated theorems").


 *  Scientific Pokédex 

NOTE: Strictly speaking, "Invertebrata" is not an animal phylum, but a term of convenience including all phyla except for chordata. Here, it is used to group all the few animal pokémons that are neither Chordates/Vertebrates nor Arthropodes.
