It would have been cool if the Stranger Things series used a Mindflayer as last boss in the kids' dungeon, thus naming the creature this way instead. It also enhanced the analogy with psionic powers and Eleven.

    Fun fact.
    Since the Rafflesia is a parasitic plant, that can be seen in Vileplume's evolution line too.
    Oddish has a Mandrake in his head
    In Gloom the Rafflesia starts growing and you can see leftover leafs dying from the Mandrake
    And then Vileplume has the full Rafflesia, with no trace from the Mandrake

      That merely means they are using its scientific name as their common one. Japanese borrows a lot of words this way. Fun fact, chocolate chip cookies, in Nihongono (Japanese) are called, "choko-chippu-cookieo," I shit you not. Coffee is, "cohio," where they kind of use the h sound, because their f version is very h-like. I tried to learn Japanese years ago, because my parents lived there for two years before I was born, and taught me some basic phrases, but having to learn both another language, **and** three new ways of writing, simultaneously, was just too hard for me. Side note: to my ear, the most beautiful spoken languages are: Swedish, when spoken by men, and Japanese, when spoken by women. Cheers!

    Rafflesia is not Indonesia's national flower, implying it's the only one. Indonesia has three national flowers. Jasminum Sambac as the Nation's Flower, Moon Orchid as the Flower of Charm, and Rafflesia Arnoldii (Also sometimes; Titan Arum) as the Rare Flower.

    1:39 the malay guide didn't write a paper describing the species. It's not always about who discovered it first but who publishes the findings. Prettys sure majority of tropical flora and fauna were first discovered by the locals before any European scientists got to describing them.
