    You see some guys battling in GSC, too, and Team Aqua and Magma are battling on Mt. Chimney.

    Anyway, if you're using a little water Pokemon for Surfing, how can you battle using other Pokemon that can't swim? They surely can't stand on the Pokemon that you're using.

    2. There must be some kind of off screen scene where, at the beginning of the game, your Mom gives you a Police Master Key, giving you the ability to unlock anyones door. Am I the only one who's noticed that the hero can simply wander into people's houses without knocking? If some kid came barging through my door, the first thing I'd say wouldn't be: "DID YOU KNOW THAT SOME POKEMANZ CAN ONLY EVOLVE BY TRADEZ??!!11!!!11". It would be more like: "What the heck do you think your doing? Get out of my house you ignorant ****!"
    This may seem strange, but some countries are more community-oriented. Unlike in America, crime is very low and people trust their neighbors. Neighbors are treated like family that can come over at any time. Obviously people tend to have some sense of courtesy, so this right isn't invoked all the time. But considering most towns in the Pokemon world appear to be just that: towns or villages, it's highly possible the same sociological sense of trust and community is going on.

    The size of the regions and the low number of people there don't make a whole lot of sense either. It's way off. Plus the huge number of Pokémon in such small routes- sustainability should be impossible. Also, houses that don't have any doors, though I think they've been cutting back on those, haven't they?

    And here's one- in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, you arrive in a truck. How did the truck get out of town without going through the trees or running people over? Heck, where are all the other wheeled vehicles?
    We play these games on a game system small enough to fit in our pockets. The memory is limited, so Game Freak doesn't waste space that could be put to good use. Just imagine that the places you're exploring and the people you see are only a small part of a much bigger world.

    The thing that really doesn't make any sense to me is that people seem to be constantly amazed by Pokémon and not know how many of them there are...despite the fact that humans and Pokémon have been living together forever according to the history. "lolol my Magikarp evolved into a Gyarados omg how amazing is that!!!" Yes, dear, they've been doing that for centuries now, calm down...>.>;
    Even in the real world you still meet people fascinated with the Great Apes, about how adaptive insects are, about how parrots can talk like humans, and marvel of cats and dogs like they're children.

    Pokemon are amazing creatures and I can guarantee you that there's always going to be someone that gush over that.

    Geodude? Rare? Geodude are in practically every cave, and make up half the pokemon (the other half being Zubat of course).
    Geodude have a low encounter rate. They're not rare like an Eevee, but you can go a long while before running into one.

    I don't get how the Day-Care man in GSC doesn't realize how those eggs get there. Wouldn't it connect at some point that those eggs only come when a male and a female are at the daycare center? Maybe he's not watching them, but that would raise the question on why he's even running a daycare center, and what's stopping your highly-agile Pokemon from simply jumping the two-foot fence surrounding the daycare center.

    Team Rocket doesn't make sense either. When you're committing crimes, why do you insist on following the rules of a Pokemon battle? Wouldn't a real gangster just shoot the kid and/or Pokemon? Come to think of it, where are the cops?

    Everything in the region revolves around Pokemon. There are no stores that sell normal food. There are no bathrooms to speak of. How humans sustain themselves in these regions is a huge mystery. Apparently, however, not as big as the "mystery of Pokemon" which has distracted every single college-educated proffessor from curing cancer or something.
    Pokemon are mysterious beings. Pokemon breeding has never been witnessed, nor have Pokemon laying eggs. Even if eggs showed up and hatched baby Pokemon, don't you think people would still question it if they've never seen it happen before? Think about it... Several thousand years of human existence, and never once has there been a documented case of breeding or egg-laying.

    Guns don't exist. You really think that in a universe where a Charizard can melt rocks with a fire blast, and Dragonite can destroy entire cities with Hyper Beams that people would waste time making guns?

    It's a video game. They just don't waste time showing stores because the game is about raising Pokemon, not raising people. Sleeping, bathing, eating, and everything else can be inferred as happening while the game's off or something.

    Here's what confuses me. How come everyone wants to battle with YOU, but don't battle each other. Sure, there was that one part in GSC but that's IT. You walk in between 2 guys who are staring RIGHT AT EACH OTHER, but don't do a blasted thing until they see YOU. Seriously, double u tee eff?
    Maybe they battle when you're not there? Maybe they're friends and don't want to battle each other; that the reason they're there is to battle people like you.

    Sinnoh doesn't make sense.
    How come Battle Zone is just as far North as Snowpoint and yet doesn't have a cold climate?
    Again, it's a video game. Their locations may not be entirely parallel in a real-world counterpart.

    Why does Nurse Joy say "I hope to see you again"? Does she want your Poke'mon to get hurt again?
    Pokemon centers aren't just places to heal your Pokemon. People go there to relax, hang out, meet new people, use the computers, etc... It's like a library.

    Well, Vespiquen can learn it, so it isn't like there are only rock or rock-like (Starmie) pokemon that learn it.

    Oh, and no. Arceus didn't want to create all of life himself: he was tired after creating land, sea, sky, and the many elements. So, he created Mew, his "pallet", from which the DNA of all pokemon are created. THIS is why the types are what they are: they were made that way within Mew. Using Mew, he then created Dialga, Palkia... and you should know the rest. After those two and a few others (I can think of the Lake trio, Heatran [creates matter and shifts it into energy], Kyogre, Groudon, Raquaza, Giratina, and Regigigas [to move contenents]) were made, he allowed Mew to continue creating life.

    Mew is able to transform into Arceus because Arceus used a small part of himself to make Mew, and all others because Mew created them.

    Why the hell does some stupid French cop make young kids do incredibly dangerous work (Not to mention have said kid do his job for him)?
    "Hey kid, take your level 10 Pokemon and go after the space gangsters, I'll stand by this door and help myself to the Galactic Coffee Machine."

    Also, if Team Rocket/Magma/Aqua/Galactic are so badass... why do they all have Zubat? I was thinking they'd have some level 100 Tyranitar or Machoke, not a bunch of level 9 Zubat. Why can't the cops just own their weaksauce Pokemon?

    I always wondered how Rhydon could learn Surf if it's a Rock/Ground type.... anyone want to help clear this up for me? 0_o

    This was explained a while back, but Rhydon isn't weak to water per se, he's just weak to water based attacks. He can swim, but will erode away if he's hit with a high pressure Water Gun or Hydro Pump. :P

    in case you didn't realize it, i was being sarcastic with my answers...and my question, and to be honest, you didn't really answer my question :T

    lol quite a funny thread. ^^ Though I do believe some people took it a bit too seriously! After all, it is a kids game, we all know it.. :P And the Japanese may be a little too "taboo" with the "breeding" act, let's just say the stork brought the babies!

    Another thing quite funny. If you are over the other side of Sinnoh and have only ever used the PokeMart to heal your Pokemon via Potions and what-not. And if all Pokemon faint, you can STILL go back to your Mum! What did they do, grow wings and fly, use a random Abra's Teleport?

    Seriously, guys. This thread is for fun, as some of you have mentioned. It is in no way a serious debate. So quit wasting your time answering peoples questions when there are obviously answers anyway (for those that have, anyways). It's a video game for christ sakes.

    What I mean is that the questions obviously have answers if you consider the Pokemon aspect, but not the actuallity aspect. For example, someone said "How can Skitty and Wailord sex?" and someone else answered "Because they are in the same fild group". Yes, they are in the same "field group" (which is a Pokemon term. But in real life, a cat obviously can't mount a whale. Thats the aspect that doesn't make any sense.

    Sometimes Japanese people are crazy and don't fix up the loose ends. I also have a question to ask.

    How the hell do the evil organisation get pwned by a little kid who just started their Pokemon journey, like, 4 days ago?

    I think that is just plain stupid.

    ~DB

    Exactly what I've always wondered. Better yet, why in the world would they back down after they were defeated in a Pokemon match?

    These "evil organizations" are definitely lacking in the brains department.

    Why the hell Latias and Latios are not getting together when left in daycare?
    Same goes for Groudon and Kyogre, how the hell does the daycare center survives if you put them together?
    Pokemon never made sense. How the heck do I throw a ball, with NEVER MISSING (Only in gen 1) On extremely small Pokemon?
