Sample table:

DS version weapons
 * Onion Knight's weapons
 * Weapons made by the legendaty smith

Always equipped weapons
The Reaver Twin Machine Guns can be bought back if they are sold.

Selectable weapons
The Megabomb is a single use weapon: press the spacebar once to release one Megabomb. You can carry up to five Megabombs at once.

The hotkey for the Twin Laser is really the "-" button, next to the "0" button.

Challenges
Try clearing the video game with a limited selection of weapons, i.e. no more than two, and without the machine gun. You would like to have either a single weapon for aerial and terrestrial target, or two, one for air targets and one for ground target.

Examples:
 * Plasma cannon (air) & Bomb (ground)
 * Laser turret (air) & Air-ground missiles (ground)
 * Micro missiles alone
 * Twin laser alone

Cheats
Press backspace to lose all money, get full health and two Deathrays that can be sold for good money. The more times you press backspace, the more Deathrays you get. You can then abort mission, sell the Deathrays and buy any weapon you like.

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.
