Beyond the Ball 201 - Primeape

Welcome to the Primeape episode! In which we explore the differences between monkeys and apes, Pokemon and boxers, rage and serenity, and more. Follow along with the entries below:

Red & Blue: Always furious and tenacious to boot. It will not abandon chasing its quarry until it is caught.

Yellow: It stops being angry only when nobody else is around. To view this moment is very difficult.

Gold: If approached while asleep, it may awaken and angrily give chase in a groggy state of semi-sleep.

Silver: It becomes wildly furious if it even senses someone looking at it. It chases anyone that meets its glare.

Crystal: It will beat up anyone who makes it mad, even if it has to chase them until the end of the world.

Ruby & Sapphire: When PRIMEAPE becomes furious, its blood circulation is boosted. In turn, its muscles are made even stronger. However, it also becomes much less intelligent at the same time.

FireRed: It is always outrageously furious. If it gives chase, it will tenaciously track the target no matter how far.

Diamond, Pearl & Platinum: It grows angry if you see its eyes and gets angrier if you run. If you beat it, it gets even madder.

Sun: It has been known to become so angry that it dies as a result. Its face looks peaceful in death, however.

Moon: Some researchers theorize that Primeape remains angry even when inside a Poké Ball.

Ultra Sun: It will never forgive opponents who have angered it. Even after it has beaten them down until they can’t move, it never ever forgives.

Ultra Moon: The blood vessels in its brain are sturdier than those of other Pokémon, so it can stay healthy despite its constant raging.

Dark Primeape: Although Primeapes have always been mean, lately they seem to be becoming even more vicious and frenzied.

BTB: If you anger it, and you will, just play dead and take it because if you make it even angrier it might die.
