I Laugh at your Misfortune! April 27th, 2009 10:36 AM

Just to input re: the cubone question. One popular theory is that all female marowak die in childbirth, which not only provides the skull, but also explains why all Cubone are constantly sad.

Well, but how should Cubone and Marowak truly raise their population if with every new-born one grown-up has to die?

Inkfingers April 27th, 2009 12:24 PM

Sumner, welcome to the team. Mooglizer, don't worry about it it's ok and plz don't call me Inky. Ink is fine if you wanna shorten my name. And I like the cubone theory better than mine, makes more sense.. Wyrrlok, You forgot about the male marowak, who are left to care for the baby cubone. They find a female, and breed, then they have the baby, the mother dies during birth. Males do hope for a female, since there aren't many left. The population only raises if a mother does not have birth, or if a baby boy cubone is born.

Actually, the game references the radiation given off by the stones, not the stone itself, that modifies the DNA, Inky.

Ditto: It's made of a substance similar to Silly Putty. It is still unknown what substance that is though. It is solid enough to give it a face. It can transform because it does not have a solid structure, but is very sophisticated, giving it the ability to transform into an exact copy. How does it change color? Smae way a chameleon does. How does it change shape, same way clay is formed, only it does it by itself. How does it know the moves of the opposite pokemon? Ditto is a telepath and since it is so sophisticated it learns the move in 1 second.
Doesn't explain how the jelly can change its shape by itself, Inky.
Having telepathy does not magically allow someone to automatically learn how to discharge electricity or fire from one's body, Inky.

The masterball takes 10 years to make one because it is so complex to make one, hence, one masterball in existence
Caveat, Inky. You can get another Masterball from the lottery game, Inky. Also, what stops them from mass-producing them in a factory, Inky?

Quote:

Humans aren't able to be caught b/c the pokeball; only reads pokemon DNA to be captured. Pokemon evolve like humans did, only they evolve from expeirience and do it much quicker.
DNA is DNA, Inky. Doesn't make sense that Poke Balls can differentiate, Inky. It also doesn't explain why people haven't made Poke Balls to capture humans yet, Inky.

Quote:

Yes, it's a sacrifice a mother makes to have a child. Once the Cubone is of age 4 and is able to fend for itself, it kills its own mother because their heads are the most sensitive part of their body and they need protection and must learn to hunt at this age.
My Marowak is still alive, Inky.
Also, you can breed Cubones too, Inky.

Quote:

Gastly and all gohst pokemon are gas. They are a very thick, nontoxic gas that has false eyes and mouth also made of gas and pretends to use them, giving them an even gohstlier appearence.
What controls them, Inky?
How come they can take physical hits and also pass through attacks too, Inky?

Quote:

Shelder's toxins are helpful toxins, juast as there are helpful bacteria.
A technicality: no such thing as a good toxin by definition, Inky.

My assumption is that when Wartortle evolves perhaps it naturally grows two hollow cannons made of bone in order to prevent itself from becomming overloaded with water that its shell picks up over a long period of time. Supposedly the water launched is the water colected in the shell through swimming and being in bodies of water. I think originally the cannons were grown as a device to drain a shell in order to prevent water form becoming stagnant or weighing the blastoise down but over the ages it evolved into a weapon when its other uses were discovered and used more frequently.

The muscles inside a blastoises shell slowly develop into a compression like mechanism that builds pressure and releases the water through the cannons that were forced shut by another set of muscles. And over the period of evolution wartortle like many other Pokemon are forced into an adaptation completely altering their size and appearance and the growing of the cannons is just another adaptation made to accomadate Blastoises size!

Well I gave it the old clown college try thar and I gope its correct enough.

By the way, I get most of my information about Pokemon from the pokedex and then add in my own scientific perceptions... If my science sint good enough I can still provide as much information possible with the information i have amassed from a decade of Pokemon.

Doesn't explain some small minute details:
  • Muscles can only contract or relax, therefore the water would be unable to be fired in a constant flow unless there were two or more muscles. Even so, they would need to squeeze really hard to get that speed, potentially obliterating all of Blastoise's insides and the cannons.
  • Blastoise can maintain water attacks for a very long time, even firing many times its volume in water. It can't replenish its water constantly.
  • Where does Blastoise get all the energy to attack so hard, then?

Inkfingers April 27th, 2009 1:06 PM

You know what Gymnotide, it's fine if your going to correct me for some things, but EVERY SINGLE THING I SAY! You've gotta be kidding me, man! I don't want to be mean or anything, so I'm going to please ask you to leave this disscusion. BTW This is pokemon, they're not real, so they could do some of the things you say are wrong, you don't know for sure what these things are capable of, because they don't exist.

Gymnotide April 27th, 2009 1:40 PM

I didn't correct everything you said. Only some of it.

I Laugh at your Misfortune! April 27th, 2009 1:47 PM

I think we've discovered that there is only one way to really explain all of this.

A wizard did it.

Åzurε April 27th, 2009 2:17 PM

^ lol, that's the answer to end all questions, right there.

and Gymno, please don't be a jackarse. << inky, inky, inky. really? come on.

But then, I had no idea that would offend you, Ink.

Monochrome April 27th, 2009 6:20 PM

Well I'm glad to be a part of the team of course but I still need to answer Mooglizer.

-According to most sources they shoot only short bursts of water out at a time while others they seem to have an endless supply of water. I prefer to think about the quick burst theory as more truthful because the other one Blastoise would need to have an endless supply of water which is just physically impossible. My next theory would be he absorbs moisture from the air but that wouldn't work because it would dry his skin out so much that he would become hurt.

-As for the energy that's a good question, let me respond with another, how does Happiny have so much strength, like enough to lift things at amazing rates as it does in the Anime or why does it have the Crush ability in Pokemon Ranger.

Ricky429 April 27th, 2009 7:12 PM

I have a question about Squirtle.

How can it eject so much water out of its tiny body? Where does it store it all?

Rubber Ducky April 27th, 2009 7:18 PM

How does Machamp throw 1,000 punches a second or whatever without exploding? (see Machamp thread)

Åzurε April 27th, 2009 7:38 PM

Huh... As for squirtle, I'm not sure, because Blastoise could very well absorb moisture and store it over time, instead of all at once. Squirtle couldn't do that, it's too small. That thread about Machamp is in fact all about Machamp. :O Inorite? Have you asked there first? I'll try to answer your questions, but if I fail, I probably won't post, mmkay?

Inkfingers April 27th, 2009 7:41 PM

Gymno, I know you didn't correct everything I said. I was exaggerating for emphasise. Anyway, I'm feeling more calm so I'll give you one more chance. You can correct some answers, but please say it too sound more sincere, rather than just bluntly correcting those people. Like Mooglizer, and ILM did. Okay.
BTW Good one ILM
Mooglizer, It doesn't exactly offend me, but I just don't really like the way it sounds. It's kinda like if some one called u a name that u just didn't really feel all that comfortable w/ like Mooginator or something else that just doesn't really sound good to you. So it's not that it offends me, but I'd rather u call me Ink or Inkfingers.
For Happiny: All that "fat" you see, is actually pure muscle, giving it enhanced strength. It does have fat though, It has little, but it has it.

Squirtle has a strange system in its body called the hydronomic system. It's a mix of the the root hydro and the word ergonomic. This is named because what squirtle does, is whenever it drinks water, half of it is actually dranken(or whatever the word is) and the other half goes through the hydronomic system and the water is run through the hydronomic system , where it is cleansed by acids, and moves throughout an organ similar to an intestine and is now more fluid. The water is stored in the back of its shell( there is basically a compartment for the water, still giving it room to use withdraw) giving squirtle a very heavy load to carry

The same way a humming bird flaps its wings 70 times per second, only machamp is swifter and stronger, and has for limbs, instead of two, and throws one punch with every arm seperately.

Ninja Caterpie April 27th, 2009 8:27 PM

Lol, we don't have to be nice when you're a self-proclaimed Pokémon guru that should be able to deal with everything we throw at you.

Have you read the Machamp thread? If it did so, it would blow its arms up.

Inkfingers April 28th, 2009 3:37 PM

It's not that I can't take it, it's just that gymno was kind of nitpicking to like a maximum. It says machamp's texture is rugged. That means there is a layer of skin there and he's rugged on the inside, so the skin is thin enough to have a rugged texture, but still be able to cushion the blow.

AJ™ April 28th, 2009 4:28 PM

Q. Why does playing a "magical" azure-colored flute in the tune of the Pokémon Theme make a random flight of light-stairs at the top of a freezing cold mountain, somehow connected to the space/time continuum, appear?

xD. I just had to make that super detailed.

Åzurε April 28th, 2009 5:47 PM

Firstly, the Flute is not azure-colored. It is most likely a reference to the sky (occasionally referred to as Azure) and though it says the stairs glow, I don't believe they do. This however has nothing to do with the explanation, and I'm not sure why I even commented on it. XP

The flute could simply have been given to humankind, or crafted by people with help from Arceus. It stands to reason that the Spear Pillar could have been inhabited at some point. Anyone else up for answering this as well?

And, Ink, I get what your saying, it is annoying.

AJ™ April 28th, 2009 6:13 PM

Your answer displeases me!
I want a more logical answer! I WANT THE GURU'S ANSWER!

Monochrome April 28th, 2009 6:24 PM

Well honestly i dont think the explanation get much better than that, I think something u need to know is that Pokemon legend is not fact in the real world and we real peoples can only speculate, hell i doubt anyone in the Pokemon universe even knows... Thats why it's called legend... I'm not sure what scientibfic explaination could be involved describing the mechanics of a magical flute......

Åzurε April 28th, 2009 6:30 PM

Uh, the frequency of the sound it makes signals Arceus to let one person up the stairs. That's about it.

*Runs to get Inkfingers*
Iiiinnk! XD

I guess so, too. There are some alarm whistles, producing a sound which only a dog can hear, so if you blow into that whistle, usually your dog (if you have one) will come to you if he hears that (and if he´s trained to come to you, of course... xp). Probably it´s the same with Arceus.

Inkfingers April 29th, 2009 2:58 PM

Okay I like some of these guesses. Props, o'_'o, this is probably the hardest question I've ever been asked before on the subject of pokemon. Here we go though, the answer to end all guesses...

Ninja Caterpie April 30th, 2009 2:29 AM

Righty-ho, we're waiting. To totally rip it to shreds

Where is it?

Inkfingers April 30th, 2009 7:19 PM

Sorry this took so long to post. School stuff and it wouldn't let me post when I finished typing. anyway, here it is
The song played is a code, just as in some movies, the protagonist needs to solve the code of some sort of puzzle to continue. When every note of the song is played correctly, Arceus hears it, with the feeling that a hero is coming, worthy of capturing it and sends down the stairs. The effect that the song causes seems to have a magical effect, so people just call it magical. The stairs descend from Arceus's home(the top of spear pillar) by telekinesis, for Arceus has this power, just as Abra does. Arceus's home is made of pure light. Arceus is actually levitating in mid air by using telekinesis on itself, but is giving the impression of standing on the light. When the trainer finally enters, he/she is also being lifted by telekinesis. Since Arceus is the strongest pokemon, it has the ability to to fight against an enemy and keep everything ;evitated, even when being hit and attacking. However, if Arceus were to faint, its telekinesis stops, since it is unconsious, and the trainer falls to their death. Arceus only drops the stairs down when it knows that there is a trainer capable of own it, otherwise, the stairs will not descend.
