@Chris I know what you mean! I usually set and play a game to learn it before I'd ever go look something up. I know one was I learned a bunch of LoZ enemies was through OoT and MM. Because Navi/Tatl will tell you about the enemies. And As for Mario enemies, well... oh, I remember! In the credits of several of the games, all enemies in the game are listed with their names. Guess I remember that!
