6. In the non-English European versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Registeel’s sprite was edited because of its arm. The arm’s original position is reminiscent of the Nazi salute.

After everyone was saved by Mew, it, together with Regice and Regirock, realized they were not a danger and left.

13. Registeel made its main series debut in Overjoyed!, under the ownership of Brandon. Ash and Torkoal battled against it but lost.

Registeel used Superpower to stop Groudon and Kyogre from spreading destruction. After the battle, it and the other two titans—left weak and powerless—traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by Brandon shortly before the opening ceremony of the Battle Frontier.
