What We've Learned from Pokémon
 
This is a fun little game I've seen on quite a few forums. So why not restart it here?

Basically, just post all the ridiculous things that you've 'learned' from the Pokémon games and their strange world. Example:

I've learned that:

- I can only move in four basic directions.
- I can't run in buildings until the fourth generation of my life.
- No matter how many times I talk to someone, they will always tell me the same thing.
- My bag can hold an unlimited amount of items, plus a folding bike, and it will never get any bigger. I will also never get crushed from the weight.
- A Pokémon 1/3 of your size can Fly me across the region.

Your turn.

Latiace November 8th, 2009 5:03 PM

I've learned from Pokemon that no matter what you say, it always comes out as a Yes or No.

I've learned that even if your a child you could catch any god like Pokemon [Arceus]

MarstheCar November 8th, 2009 5:24 PM

I've learned that it's okay to break into houses and take whatever you want.

roacherman November 8th, 2009 5:56 PM

Ive learnt two things:

People seem to be really stupid in the pokemon universe, because they sure do drop lots of stuff

And parents let their children off into the forest to live their own lives at 10 years old, not caring if they get sick or get eaten by a wild Arcanine (dont judge me that was the first thing that popped into my head)

s_a_l_poke November 8th, 2009 10:00 PM

I've learned that throwing a blade of grass on a rock will disintegrate it.

roacherman November 12th, 2009 1:59 PM

Ive learnt that a 10 year old boy has the capability of being able to destroy evil organizations and save the world

Lucariotoes November 13th, 2009 6:16 AM

I LOVE THESE!

I've learned that...
1) Japan contains many unique and magical creatures that cannot be found elsewhere... almost 500 of them in fact.
2) Candy Bars CAN heal wounds, but barely.
3) Drinking sweet, sugary drinks IS good for you.
4) If someone had been knocked unconscious, you need only press a gemstone to them, and that that gemstone's revival powers only work once.
5) Moon rocks make certain beings shapeshift permanently.
6) You actually don't need bait to catch a fish; you can leave that oh-so-familiar-looking red and white ball on your line and catch things with that.
7) Bikes are more expensive than cars. I mean, RLY expensive.
8) If you talk to old men who catch little hairy larva, strange things will happen if you swim close to a beach's coast.
9) While the forces of darkness can stop a mystical person in its tracks, it holds no power over a martial arts expert.
10) Radioactive rocks in general can make creatures evolve into higher forms of life instead of, say, giving them cancer.

miharuzee November 15th, 2009 1:09 PM

I learned:
-that walking into someone's line of sight means you MUST battle them.
-that your opponents are unable to physically beat you up and must use their super-powered animals to fight you.
-that a tiny turtle can transport me across the ocean.
-that it's perfectly fine for 10-year-olds to travel the continent alone and unsupervised.

TheAppleFreak November 15th, 2009 5:48 PM

I've learned that:
-If you ride your bike fast enough and erratically enough in a certain city, you can cause entire sections of a city to mysteriously disappear without anyone caring [D/P tweaking]
-Certain wannabe-furries like to try to beat you up with yellow rats that faint when in contact with mud [Poké Kids, Mud Slap. I mean no offense to furries]
-It's possible to dive underwater for hours on end without any source of oxygen [Dive from R/S/E]
-When the world is in imminent danger from two deities battling in a hollowed out volcano in the middle of an ocean, and the world is in danger of flooding, no one tries to do anything to stop them [Apathetic Citizens

The Girl Once named Tracie November 15th, 2009 8:29 PM

I've learned that until I get a pokemon, I am bound to one town that only has three buildings

Also, I have learned...

placing rocks in just the right order almost always makes something dramatic happen
no one seems to notice or care if you pull out a pokemon people only hear about in legends in battle
All pokemon in a certain species are the same size and weight. always.
Guys on guard only drink tea.
There is always someone to hand you something for free
eating candy makes you stronger.
Day care people don't care if you don't have the money to pay them, they will keep your pokemon until you do
whenever someone doesn't feel like doing something, they hand it off to you
fossiles CAN be brought back to life!

MithosFall November 16th, 2009 9:21 AM

I've learned that swiming on the east end of an island will mess up your life. (Life being game.)

I've learned that when an electric bolt hits a human, they get better instantly.

kreechurkid November 18th, 2009 6:55 PM

I've learned that humans don't need to
-eat
-drink liquid
-rest or sleep
-change their clothes (they don't need to, but they would smell)
-be literate (sure, there is a pokemon school, but they only learn about pokemon! What happened to Math, Reading, Science, etc.)

56. No one really cares about 10 year olds gambling for dolls

57. that everyone from an evil organization claims to steal other people's Pokemon, but they still insist on using Zubat, Glameow, Stunky, Meowth, and the like. Over and over and over again.

58. Gym Leaders have extreme patience letting them to stand on one spot and still look awesome

60. Police ppls only want to fight you at night

61. Experience in life is given to you by points

62. Most people only require a one room
house that usually only has a bookcase and table in it.

63. That in order to Smash a rock or to cut a tree you need a badge otherwise you aren't ready to do so

64. I also learned that when a Pokemon faints, it won't wake up until you take it to a Pokemon Center or feed it a small, diamond-shaped piece of who-knows-what. Really, what do they make medicine out of?

65. Grunts in an evil HQ never raise the alarm after they lose - they just stand there

66. Oh, and playing lullabies wakes things up

67. Most 10-year-olds have the physical and mental capacity to run around an entire country

69. Mythical gods can be controlled by a small child if they have enough flimsy pieces of colored metal.

75. Though many people have KO'd wild animals for experience, you never see any unconscious/dead bodies lying around after the battle

76. Digimon isn't supposed to exist. According to Professor Oak,"...you can't turn a soul into data!" How could he say that? So I've been watching a lie since 1999? I think NOT! He just doesn't want any Pokemon competition, I guess.. (I'm sorry my fellow digimon fan club members)

78. Oak didn't realize he would actually need 4 Pokemon stocked, not just 3 Pokemon and Pikachu...

79. Computer soldiers can cost way more in one game version's gambling prize redemption area than they do in another.

80. Pigs can fly, if given the chance. All they need is someone with expert hacking skills.

81. Even if you become a Champion, the Champion you beat will never leave the room, and you never get the title "Champion" to replace "Animal Trainer" in your name

82. Overgrown lilypads love to dance.

83. You have a 1 in 8192 chance of seeing funky-colored animals covered in glitter.

84. The government is so incompetent. 10-year-old kids are always required to end crises. And leaders of gyms almost freakin' everyone else in the world are/ is so lazy! Many of them have animals that are much stronger than your animals during the crises, so they could easily handle the situation themeselves. But NO... They just stand in their gyms/houses as if nothing's happening to the world.

85. If it's raining on a route right before a treehouse city, you just have to take one step into the city to make the rain disappear.

86. You can stand right next to your animals and get hit by hail, fire, water, rocks, sandstorms, earthquakes, and explosions without feeling a thing or getting hurt

87. Trainers often begin the first day of their career by oversleeping, being woken up by their mother, and being reminded that they slept so late that they missed the meeting with the Professor.

88. To be a professor you HAVE TO be named after a tree. If there is ever a Trainer with a last name that is a tree, then he or she must at some point become a Professor.

89. I learned that all species in the entire world lay eggs.

90. Even when in a life-or-death fight against an evil sociopath in an alternate universe, you still have to take turns.

91. Time travel is possible, but only for baseball-sized objects

92. Trainers don't have to fight said creatures themselves. They can let their pets do all the fighting for them. After all, better them than us. Unfortunately...

93. Moon Rocks can change the way creatures look

94. No scientist has ever bothered to find out what's under a diglett

95. Don't throw rocks at sparrows or taunt weak red flopping fish - You'll regret it later

96. Psychic creatures which have an IQ of over 5000 loves to play with spoons and nothing else

97. That goes the same with Farfetch'd except they'll hold nothing else but leaks - where do they get those things anyway?

98. Berries can also give you defense against certain attacks. And if you eat a berry you hate, you can get confused.

99. The only crime that exists is stealing other people's pokemon. Anything and everything else is excusable.

And most importantly 100: Only people named Ash can save the world

SilverStilletto November 18th, 2009 10:52 PM

i learned you can become a successful world-famous champion without saying a word

BlueShuckle November 19th, 2009 8:33 AM

I learned it's ok to beat up a little boy's Bidoof with a Rayquaza and steal all his money.
I also learned it's ok to take legendary Pokemon that protect the world and put them in a PC box.

roacherman November 19th, 2009 12:51 PM

Ive learned that one 10 year old boy can save the world from dangerous criminals that plot to, I dunno, lets say floods and lava.

Ive learned that the police is virtually useless. Yes they do exist, just look at cerulean city (was it that one?) there is a police station. But do they take charge against criminals like team rocket? No

Ive learned that there are no such things as hositals as the games. I guess the people who rule that land must not care enough to actually install hospitals

Ive learned that pokemon medicine actually has the potential to cure someone (yes it happened in the anime when some old dude gave ash medicine for his stomach)

Ive learned that there is no definate leader of the regions. I mean if the lands are based so much on japan, wouldnt there be a ruler for each region? No wonder there are actually criminals amok so much in those lands

Latiace November 20th, 2009 1:28 PM

I have learned that you can only bring six animals with you on your adventure. XD

roacherman November 20th, 2009 1:49 PM

Ive learnt that even though you are a pokemon champ, you still have to face him again and again as if you wouldve never won in teh first place

SilverStilletto November 20th, 2009 1:52 PM

i learned that you can run around an entire country for months or even years without calling or writing home, and when you do go back to visit, all mommy will do is say that you look tired, send you to take a nap, and send you on your merry way.

oh, and sleeping or resting heals your pets completey, without them coming out of their pokeballs.

Pokeyomom November 20th, 2009 3:42 PM

Ive learned that I can surf faster- provided I pay for another game+)

- That ground based animals can battle out in mid sea.
- That every old person looks pretty much the same.
- That you can achieve your dreams if you pit wild creatures against other wild creatures.

BHwolfgang November 20th, 2009 3:56 PM

I've learned:

- Television can only show three programs
- It really ISN'T butter!
- The only professional sport there is in this world is animal fighting

Pikachukid November 20th, 2009 4:10 PM

I've learned that if you ever meet an old man he will send you to do his dirty work of seeing all the pokemon in the world.
I've also learned that if you force your pets to battle then no one will care because everyone else does it too.

kreechurkid November 20th, 2009 4:52 PM

I've learned that fishes can breathe and live on land, even in the desert. (Hoenn region's desert, DPPt's Route...228, I think? You can send out a fish and it will act normal.)

Kirbychu November 20th, 2009 5:14 PM

  • You can be deemed one of the world's strongest trainers with only a level 12 Pikachu. (Eagun, Pokemon XD)
  • Everything has potential to explode, including leaves, water, and bites.
  • Bags are larger than they look.
  • Fire sprinklers can take out giant rock snakes.
  • Bad guys can manage to get launched hundreds of feet into the air by various means, while others standing near them will not be moved or even affected. Those same people won't get seriously injured from the flight which would surely kill a normal person.
  • Your name must be somewhat related to the type you plan to specialize in your gym.
  • Sleeping (Rest) is considered a psychic power, while magically healing your wounds (Recover) is deemed normal.
  • It is possible to dig on water, and dive on land.
  • Birds (Staravia and Staraptor) can intimidate even gods.
  • Whales and kittens can reproduce together.
  • You can create fire underwater. (Underwater battles in Hoenn)
  • It's okay to have battles in a graveyard; radio towers are more important anyways.

kreechurkid November 20th, 2009 5:26 PM

I've learned that ghosts can die ("Faint" but no one believes that.)

Riggzyd November 20th, 2009 5:59 PM

Ive learned that when your ten years old you leave home on a dangerous adventure and your parents let you go :)

MarstheCar November 20th, 2009 7:45 PM

As of the movie I've seen tonight, if you go back in time, you can tell those people things of the future, and there are hardly any consequences. (Except killing gods)

SolarAbusoru November 21st, 2009 4:19 AM

Your bag has some sort of Time-lord technology inside of it, same with Pokeballs and accessory cases.

SkyBlue November 21st, 2009 4:58 AM

I learned that there are many variations of that red-and-white ball, the most powerful one being that Master something.

I learned that PCs can contain anything.

Latiace November 21st, 2009 3:30 PM

I've learned that you can see the past and future if you stare at the sun long enough. (PMD reference. XD)

Deja Vu November 21st, 2009 5:05 PM

Quote:

13. The main character's parents are divorced except in R/S/E - cause we actually know where your dad is


This is so true, lol.

- You can magically create a hole ten times as wide and twenty times as deep as your body in a split second, only to fall into an underground cavern without being injured and defying gravity by floating back to the surface.
- A man with a Machop and a lot of time on his hands trying to build a building will NEVER make any progress.

MithosFall November 21st, 2009 6:09 PM

I've learned that you can instantly escape a massive, dark cave with a rope. (How does that make sense? XD)

kreechurkid November 21st, 2009 6:15 PM

I've learned that spinning at 100 mph will let you escape a cave. (using dig)

Negative-Zero November 21st, 2009 6:15 PM

ive learned that your bag is like a black hole and that even when pokemon get killed in battle they magically can still use hm's

kreechurkid November 21st, 2009 6:58 PM

I've learned that using a CD on a Pokemon will teach them how to do something.

___ ___
O O

roacherman November 21st, 2009 7:58 PM

Ive learnt that your bag is big enough to contain an entire bike, tent, medicine, pokemon slavery capture tools, fruit, and etc. without it being too heavy for a 10 year to handle. I even doubt that a grown man could carry all that (unless he is a body builder XD)

Latiace November 22nd, 2009 10:30 AM

I've learned:

1:You can only turn into a Pokemon if a wandering spirit randomly chooses you to save the world.
2:A bird the size of even a mouse can carry you.
3:You depend on your pets to produce light because flashlights don't exist.
4:Never touch a fox's tail unless you want to get cursed for eternity!
5:Any berry you put in the ground will turn into a tree.
6:Tiny pink kittens are VERY hard to find.
7:Monkeys are purple!! (Aipom reference. :P)
8:You never talk. All you say is yes or no.

XD

TheAppleFreak November 22nd, 2009 11:12 AM

It's completely normal for a ten year old kid to be given his/her own house in a very classy area.

The world can be in danger with ancient deities battling it out in a volcano, threatening the existence of the entire world, and a kid in a city not too far away will still be rambling on about a rock he was given.

roacherman November 22nd, 2009 11:22 AM

Ive learnt that once a pokemon is powerful enough, it will transform into an entire new diety!

Ace~Sasaki November 22nd, 2009 11:56 AM

I've learnt (and If this has been used already, don't mess wit me) that Enslaving Animals, Taking them away from their families, and using them to fight to the death for no specific reason isn't illegal. All's well that ends well. :t109:

*~Frost Umbreon~* November 22nd, 2009 5:36 PM

I learned that even gods can be stuffed inside baseball-sized spheres.

Robert Conley November 27th, 2009 9:01 AM

That supposedly intelligent creatures can never learn to use human made objects. Even if their I.Q. is over 5000.

Robert Conley November 29th, 2009 9:35 AM

Animals don't die they just faint
Somehow you can scurry to a veterinary hospital when you're blacked out
If all of your animals faint you should go to the last veterinary hospital you visited rather than the closest one

craZ pokefan November 29th, 2009 10:07 AM

cuz I used my action replay while I still had it :l

TheAppleFreak December 2nd, 2009 9:41 AM

Trying to reviatalize this thread...
I've learned from the anime that Pokémon only heard about in legends will always come and seek the assistance of a 10 year old boy. (Though technically, Ash is now 22, since the anime premiered in 1997. So does that mean that Ash is a pedophile for traveling with Dawn?)

I've learned from the games:
- School is not important. 10 year old kids regularly go off and live on their own in villas without ever returning to complete their educations.
- Every TV show ever aired deals exclusuively with Pokémon. There are no such things as sports, and news stations always have giant Pokéball graphics in the background.

And, to the previous poster, your questions are either impossible to answer or easy to answer, with Bulbapedia or common sense. For example, Arceus doesn't have a set type. Sure, by default it's normal, but it can be any one of the 17 elemental types with a plate (plus the ???-type). And is Brock a boy or a girl? Really?

Daiko7 December 2nd, 2009 9:53 AM

I have learned:

Cats and Monkeys can be so annoying to other people (Persian and Ambipom =D)

Purple cats are psychic.. (Espeon)

Gods don't rule the world... 10 year old kids do..

Pokeyomom December 2nd, 2009 10:00 AM

I have learned that pokemon hardly ever run, unless they are annoying legendary dogs.

That the exact same freakish nurse clone resides in every pokemon center throughout the region.

Cerebelli December 2nd, 2009 11:36 AM

I've learned that we are all puny humans trying to play God with legendaries, who would crush us without a second thought or unintentionally destroy the world in one of their battles, and that our survival depends on some eternally 10 years old boy who has little motivation to catch pokemon, train his team, or learn effective battle techniques. I learned that once reality catches up to Ash, we're all doomed.

Pokeyomom December 2nd, 2009 12:14 PM

I've learned that you can make a living with little yellow cats.

I've learned there will always be a new god (Omg it's like real life!)

Also that the said 10 year old doesn't even require food or beverages to survive; Only his thirst for domination satiates him.

O- and trees can be made out of rock...?
