well, the Metal Coat must be traded with Scyther in the games, which lends to the item fusion theory I forgot about.

Wow, I go on vacation for a few days and this place falls apart! London was great, BTW.

So, how do farmers successfully keep herds of several Miltank without turning the whole of Johto into a desert thanks to their voracious appetites?

Before I attempt to answer this, I'll need to know if those figures you gave were for calories or Calories (aka. food calorie aka. Kilocalorie). Also, Miltank may not only eat grass... Maybe the Miltank have a photosynthesis-like system that converts oxygen and water into glucose, which it uses to supplement its milk. Instead of sunlight, it could run on body heat?

why . .
a machoke that turns into a machamp get additional hands ?

Based on the trend of Machop evolving into Machoke, it seems that that series' line increases in muscle mass. Considering that the Mach- line is all about upper-body strength, it is relatively straightforward that the Machoke's arms will gain a drastic muscle mass increase. However, if that muscle mass were to double, the arm would be immobile and useless. Therefore, all that muscle had to be rationed out into multiple arms.

why . .
we should maxed its beauty if we want our feebas evolves to a milotic ?

Like its equally-shoddy cousin Magikarp, Feebas' evolution completely psychological. While Magikarp's evolution is primarily based on anger or frustration, Feebas evolves when it feels confident and beautiful. Surely there are other, natural ways for this to happen, but the unusual properties of Poffins/Pokeblocks make this condition more easily met.

what . .
is the excretion organ of a giratina ?

I don't think Giratina eats. Considering that it and its buddies Dialga and Palkia were around before the Earth (and food) were created, this makes some sense. Giratina derives its "nourishment" from the energy fields of the Distorted Dimension, which is why it changes into its more powerful form when in proximity to its home dimension or a fragment of that dimension (Griesous Orb). It becomes less powerful in our world because the energy from its home fades over the interdimensional gap.

"What gives Kecleon it's ability to become INVISIBLE???"

Kecleon does not become invisible. All of the cells on its body (except its stripe) are like octopus cells, in that they contain small pigment alteration sacs. When Kecleon sees something, it can consciously control the pigment release in its skin to mimic the environment. Remember that chameleons have a 360 field of vision, so it can alter its skin-image (i.e. imitate parallax) in real-time based on the perspective of its viewers.

Watch some octopus camouflage videos on YouTube and you'll see how complex their camouflage system is compared to that of the chameleon.

How come Pokemon of one species can have babies with another species when animals of real life don't do that?

:cer_eek:

Actually, IRL animals CAN breed interspecially. Do you mean to tell me that you have never heard of a mule? Of a liger? Of a zebronkey (or whatever the hell they're calling it now)?

Anyway, animals can breed interspecially when they have a recent common ancestor. For example, lions and tigers have a recent common ancestor that was very similar to them and was in the genus felis. Same thing with horses, donkeys, zebras, and other equines.

Now all the Pokemon are apparently direct descendants of Mew. Below Mew are the Ancient Pokemon: Aerodactyl, Relicanth, Kabutops, Lileep, etc... one for every Egg Group that exists today. Below these ancient Pokemon are the current 400+ that we know and love today.

Considering that there have not been any reports of a fish Pokemon being evolutionarily placed between Magikarp and Relicanth, all Pokemon have one direct, recent, common ancestor. This makes them close enough to breed interspecially. However, the distance between Egg Groups is further, as the differing Group's common ancestor, Mew, is too far away. If this is too confusing, I'll make a chart later.

The Pokemon that came before Mew, i.e. the other Legendaries responsible for creating the Universe/world, cannot breed.

 

[templekeeper]

Cool...I do plenty of this on my own, but I wanna see what you say.

There's no magic in pokemon, so how do devices like this "capture" them?

 

[Åzurε]

Ahh... The spoon for containing the giant jigglypuff. I haven't seen that in a long time. And who said there wasn't magic in pokemon? It's not as obvious as in, say, Eragon, but it's definitely there. Anyhow, it's obviously speculative, but the inside is likely a variation of the material which allows Apricorns to capture pokemon- as previously stated by me- either collected from the nuts, or synthesized by means lost to present-day pokemon worlders. If you haven't read this much, the material converts the pokemon into energy and stores them, and their consciousness (this is where my own ideas come in) is stored in another material, such as a layer of the nut at the energetic center of the capturing element. there's probably a carefully-extracted piece of apricorn preserved right below the scoop of the spoon.

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

@Neiteio - yeah, it was food calories.

Btw, good idea for Feebas :D

Regarding the octopus thing here's a good video for anyone who's curious

I think that pretty much clears up Kecleon :P


Regarding the spoon thing, its important to note that the Pokemon world appears to be a semi-futuristic version of our own, in regards to technology. The 'spoon' could have been based on the same technology as the Pokeball but just shaped a different way, wih its circuitry and everything hidden.

 

[Inkfingers]

The amazing capturing spoon

It transfers pokemon into data(like a pokeball) and stores it in a pokemon containment area, just as a pokeball does. It's just shaped differently though. This occours when the back of the spoon is stroked backward(to release the pokemon) or forward(to retrieve it) which is detected by the motion sensor located on the back of the spoon. how does the spoon release the pokemon though I mean a pokeball opens up, you may ask. The head of the spoon has a very complex set of technology in it which uses magnets to transfer the pokemon into data.

Breeding

Nice guess nietio, (sorry to correct you)but if two pokemon were to cross breeed like you say, the pokemon would be a mix of the two and be a whole new species, kind of like a mule. So if you were to cross a swampert and empoleon(this one's for you) you'd get a swampoleon. It would have physical traits of the two pokemon.

Here's my theory The dominant and recessive game is played here, only to and extreme. when the two different species of pokemon breed, the one with the dominant traits takes over and they get the physical appearence, but the recessive traits give the pokemon it's emotional and mental abilities. Hows that?

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that Pokespecial stated at one point that All Pokemon are technically one species, and the different types are actually sub-species.

Good catch, man. Well let's see... In Pokemon breeding, the egg always takes the species of the mother. Humans have maternal mitochondrial DNA but not paternal, so maybe maternal DNA is stronger somehow...

 

[Inkfingers]

Wait, it's ALWAYS the mother!? Oh then my first theory was right I thought "this is pokemon, the games are known to glitch now and then, so I wanted to play it safe. Now I know that the mother births the baby, but so much has happened in these games, and I never really paid attentyion to the details. Here's my theory:

It's kind of similar to the last one The mother's traits and genes(all physical and half emotional and mental) are always dominant to the male pokemon(after all, it IS the one who has to go through that hell to get the egg out) It plays a very importanat role in birth. So Girl Power!

 

[Åzurε]

XDDD
On that note, If it was in fact a case of HSOWA, with the Skitty being female, that would... be a problem. Hence, the offspring would need to be the same species as the mom for the correct kind and amount of nutrition.

 

[Inkfingers]

Hey mOOg, whats HSOWA? btw love your new sig.

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

HSOWA is an acronym for Hot Skitty On Wailord Action - a reference to the fact that due to the mechanics of the games, Skitty can breed with Wailord, despite the massive difference in size.

Its just as well that the species is always the same as the female...imagine a female skitty laying a wailmer egg o.O

 

[Inkfingers]

Oh wow. Well the female traits, no matter what species is always dominant compared to the male. BTW I just want to point something out.

Some things in pokemon may nnot make as much sense to you as others but that doesn't mean it's not possible. I mean here are some amazing animal facts(some of these are obvious but still amaze me at the animal's ability)

When a hippo gets nervous, its sweats red sweat
Parrots mimic exact sounds of what they hear
A chameleon can change it's body color as well as an octopus can
An ant can support ten times its own body weight
Montana moutntain goats butt heads so hard, that their hooves fall off
A cheetah can reach a top speed of 70mph
A hippo can run faster than a man
The Gallapagos turtlle has a potential life span of 200yrs.
The Honey badger can withstand millinos of bee stings and live, that would kill a human in one sting
According to scientists, whale songs rhyme
For every 1 person there are 200million insects. There are 6,767,169,090 people in the world as of March 17th 2009. So that means there are 1,353,433,818,000,000,000 Insects in the world! and the number keeps rising!
And this one's just flat out interesting: At the end of Paul McCartney's song "A Day ln the Life" an ultrasonic whistle is played only audible for dogs.

And this is nothing compared to all of the other animal facts.

[Inkfingers]

Next question please. Anything pokemon. Try to stump me, I bet you can't.

 

[PokeCards]

good point thats werid like what do they do in the pokeball?

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

Question

Upon evolution, where does Kadabra's spoon come from? Or Hitmonchan's clothes and gloves, for that matter? And Machoke/Machamps exceedingly tight underwear?

 

[The Scientist]

good point thats werid like what do they do in the pokeball?

They relax in a virtual world. Not quite sure what it's like, but I'm thinking something like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber from DBZ. Or perhaps, since the Pokemon's consciousness is stored in the ball, it uses that data to generate a custom world for each Pokemon.

Question

Upon evolution, where does Kadabra's spoon come from? Or Hitmonchan's clothes and gloves, for that matter? And Machoke/Machamps exceedingly tight underwear?

The Spoon is generated as the Abra evolves. It is a physical manifestation of excess psychic powers (note that Alakazam, who is stronger, gains another Spoon). However, the Spoon is still connected to Kadabra's internal energy supply, which is why if a Kadabra loses its spoon, its psychokinetic powers are weakened.

As far as Hitmonchan goes, I'm not quite sure whether it's wearing clothes or just looks like it's wearing clothes (e.g. Gardevior's "dress"). When a Tyrogue evolves, it'll actively seek out a Fighting Pokemon center, like Saffron's Fighting Dojo or the P1 League (lol, Ash's Primeape) where it can get training equipment and gloves.

Machoke and Machamp's "underwear" is actually a restraint belt to keep them from destroying everything they touch. That alone should be evidence that they are not natural, and before any sort of human interference, Machoke and Machamp didn't have the garments. That said, it is safe to conclude that the restraint belt is distributed by people. However, unlike Hitmonchan going to a training gym to get its gloves, Machoke's belt is sent directly to the data storage system in the PokeBall. When Machop's power level gets dangerously high (OVER 9000), the PokeBall generates the belt that was stored in its memory.

 

[Åzurε]

It's always at least 100 but never over 9000. that's how it works here. *ness-nod*

I think it's kinda funny that humans would distribute clothes to pokemon, Be it for decency or helping the pokemon. My opinion on Hitmonchan is that the punches it throws could kill too easily, or break 'chan's arms. hence, they distribute the gloves. Same case for Primeape. In the case of the latter, it could also explain why hitmonchan are so rare.

For the tight tight tights on Machoke, and the clothes on Hitmontop and Hitmonchan, I have a feeling they were for decency, the seem to thin to be good for much else...
