as first question, how about regice/steel/rock/gigas- mechanical? possesed chunks of material? natural pokemon?

If you join heres ur job If i ever come across a really hard question or happenned to be swamped in questions then ill ask for ur help k. as for the question about the regi's registeel has a very soft and fragile inner body. It has actual steel that has been created by fusing all the materials needed to create steel, forming a natural steel. This "armor" protects the inner body, which is also very thin, the head however is very large and and the eyes glow the same way a firefly's thorax glows. there are holes in the armor so it can see. The other three I'll have to think about and I'll tell you the reasons later.

Ink's the "official" guru, and I'm the backup.

I'll answer occasionally anyways, though.

also, be aware that some information may not have 100% plausible or scientific information (this is pokemon, after all), and things like legendary pokemon may have a mythical-based answer in them.

Fire-breathing is an easy one.

The Pokemon holds a variety of non-harmful chemicals in flame sacs found within the mouth or throat, closer to the trachea. Upon using a flame attack, the Pokemon releases a portion of the chemicals, which mix together to form a combustible mass which is to be depleted after the attack. The Pokemon exhales a great deal of air in order to set the mass ablaze and direct the fire in the desired direction. Some Pokemon should have the ability to inhale while also exhaling, owing to their apparent ability to sustain fire-breathing for long periods of time. The inside of the mouth or, I guess Skuntank's butt, should be lined with resilient epithelium that resists the intense heat given off by the attack or regenerates at a rate faster than it can be destroyed.

For Regice, Regirock, and Registeel, I think it would be reasonable that they have some sort of conductive material inside that functions like the human nervous system, but not necessarily an entire body inside. The Pokemon should also have an energy-filled core from which it draws power from during times of need. Otherwise, it would draw from magnetic fields around the world, explaining the fact that it can use Zap Cannon, and other electrical attacks.

Mmm. very good on the firebreath, but I personally don't understand why the cells of the Pokemon's mouth would regenerate that fast. if so, it would have extreme mouth-druff.

I like the idea of the regis... but according to the 'Dex (taking it as fact) registeel is completely hollow. Anything there?

I'm leaning towards mech-body w/ spirit for the first 3 golem pokemon. For gigas, I need to do research.

did I use "I" enough? xD

Stimulating the flame sacs will activate the nearby endocrine glands which release a hormone targeting the mouth cells (or Skuntank's butt cells). Upon binding, the hormone cascades and stimulates the increased production of ribosomes and nucleic acids. Moreover, the cells are launched into a hyper-proliferating state.

Tell me why Kangaskhan is born with a baby in its pouch.
Also, how come Mantine was born with Remoraid in Gen II and III, but not in IV? :D

In Pokemon World, Thundershocks are just like kicks in butts.

But in the Real World, what would it feel?

Haha!

P.S.:)

The same as getting shocked by a taser or getting hit by a lightning bolt.
Weaker electrical attacks would just cause temporary, short-term loss of motor functions or numbness, like a low taser setting. Stronger ones would completely overload the neurons in the body and cause pain and overload of the entire nervous system.

Also, your spam just makes me feel less like posting there.

One has to wonder how Porygon can even exist, while it is artificial, it's apparently not a robotic being, as the description says it's "made completely out of programming code" yet it's obviously quite solid and alive. Unless Silph Co. has a 3D printer that can also endow a programmed AI with form.

2 guesses:
1) there is a small device which (besides being nigh-on-impossible to create right now) scans a phyical design and projects it as a solid hologram, also containing a CPU and some small sensors to give it the appearance of life.

2) A device at the Silph, Co. building controls every instance of Porygon (perhaps Porygon2) distributed among the masses by a form of digital wave akin to those which your TV receives through a sattelite service. This wave allows the being to keep it's tangibility, while sending and recieving information to allow it to function as a living being.

these are both based on the assumption that porygon is hollow on the inside, like a videogame graphic when you position the camera funny.

Porygon, the living clipping error!

Of course, it gets more confusing if you consider that they can mate and lay eggs, unless that too is all more "soligram" trickery.

Here's a good one, guru: Why do pokemon like Meowth, Wailord, Munchlax, etc. - mammals in common sense - lay eggs?
Another question is: Are Koffing, Voltrob, Magnemite and Bronzor pokemon entirely manufactured by humans, or just "machines" made by humans and coming to life thanks to an unseen force?
