Hehe, thanks. :]

Anyways, to answer mOOG's question, the Dubious Disk is basically a device to be installed into Porygon2. It was intended to not only make Porygon2 the most powerful pokémon in existence (similar to Mewtwo), but also allow it to work in foreign dimensions and travel in space. Porygon2's body wasn't capable of processing some of the said data properly (though the disk probably had some faulty programing in it to begin with), making it appear slightly odd (such as flipping Porygon's head upside-down, and glitching it's eyes, giving it an shocked expression and making it so that it appears as if it's always awake, even when resting).


Although Porygon-Z isn't quite as powerful as it's creators anticipasted, it still has a tremendous amount of power, paired with a cold, fearless, almost savage nature (also similar to Mewtwo), make it a force to be feared.

Don't rejoice yet, my return is still tentative. I'm just in a good mood because... well, that's a separate matter.

If any question has come by that has not yet been satisfactorily answered, fire away.

Any idea for the principle of Absorb, and the moves like it, as well as how normal Pokemon can use weather changing moves?
The description for Absorb is "a nutrient-draining attack". It's also a non-contact move. Therefore it is possible that the Pokemon sends up microroots that painlessly pierce the opposing Pokemon's feet, and absorb the nutrients that way. As far as flying Pokemon and Levitate are concerned, the Colosseum games often portray these Pokemon as standing on the ground, and only Using their abilities to dodge incoming Ground attacks.

<<<IN PROGRESS>>>

==========================================================

Remember when Master Roshi used the Kamehameha wave in DragonBall? No? I feel old. Can you believe that no one in OVP knows who Snake Eyes is?

Anyway, as "supernatural" beings, Normal-type Pokemon generate a large amount of "life force/energy", more than any other Pokemon type except Dragon. This massive internal energy store a) can be fired in the form of a Hyper Beam, b) can be used to charge the muscles for powerful physical moves, and c) gives them resistance to the death-based Ghost moves.

Directing an energy pulse upward would burn a hole through the cloud layers, resulting in brighter-than-normal sunlight. Directing it outward would result in a massive condensation burst that would ultimately trigger rain.

We know that Mantines can come from eggs. We know that Mantykes come from eggs where the parents had some of this Incense influencing something. We know that Mantyke evolves with company from a Remoraid (a similar symbiotic relationship to Shellder and Slowpoke? then why isn't Remoraid part of it?). How, then, do you get Mantines from eggs without any Remoraid involved? Make sense? If you say the Remoraid must be with the parents, then I can say that there can be Remoraid-carrying parents also holding some Wave Incense. How come a Mantyke pops out and not a Mantine?

Ok, the relationship with the Remoraid only begins to affect the Mantyke after it's aged a little bit (read: leveled up)after hatching, due to chemical changes within the Mantyke's body(compare: puberty. XD), meaning that it hatches as a Mantyke and then evolves. Not really that confusing. It also may be that a Remoraid causes evolution not by it's presence, but by attaching itself to the Mantyke like we see on adult Mantine. Now, this is a bit annoying when I see a newly hatched Mantine which already has a Remoraid attached, but I'm getting tired and the only was I want to explain that right now is that it's only an in-game sprite. I'll likely edit or expand on this later.

That seems interesting, but I was thinking that Grass pokemon would be able to absorb nutrients through contact, or through using extensions of their body, like vines in most cases. For example Bulbasaur could grab an enemy with its vines, and small barbs on the vines would be able to pierce the enemy pokemon's skin and drain nutrients and energy from its bloodsteam.

I see a huge flaw here:


Registeel's Pokédex entry:

Registeel has a body that is harder then any metal. Its body is apparently hollow.
Shedinja's Pokédex Entry:

Shedinja's hard body doesn't move - not even a twitch. In fact, it's body appears to be merely a hollow shell.
Beldum's Entry:

Instead of blood, a powerful magnetic force courses throughout Beldum's body.

This was indirectly discussed, I believe. Pokemon are fundamentally different from humans, and (after the incident with the rice ball in the anime, I think) it's been shown that pokeballs only work on wild pokemon, unless otherwise stated (snag balls being the thing in my mind). I'll expand on this further, later.

As for absorb, the no-contact thing would fit in with my Aura theory. It's about a page or two back...
The Pokemon using absorb uses Grass aura to infiltrate and extract raw life aura (aka, HP) and uses it for itself. This is an inefficient process, however, and only about half of the life aura gets use from the absorber. Zubat and the like use Bug aura in tandem with close physical contact, so almost all of the extracted aura gets used by the extracter.

Absorb is listed as a non-contact move, so I tried to avoid the more... direct route.


I see a huge flaw here:
Note that Absorb isn't very effective against these Pokemon. Anyway, when absorb is used on a mechanical Pokemon like Beldum or Magnemite, a bit of electricity is drained. The same way electrical pulses can be used in muscular therapy in order to "heal" injuries, the Absorbed electricity can do the same. It also likely provides a small energy "jolt" (YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE).

This was probabbly asked before, but um how is it possible for a pokemon not to get killed after receiving such beat ups, or is it becuase they were born for that?
Pokemon can be killed; when under the command of a Trainer, Pokemon hold back their full destructive power, which is why Pokemon don't usually die in regulated matches. In the wild, however, there's no reason for a Pidgey to pull back on its Aerial Ace if it really wants to eat that Wurmple. Of course, though, Pokemon are much more resistant to injury than humans.

Note: in episode 105, "Charizard Chills", Ash's Charizard gets hit with a Poliwrath's Ice Beam that freezes it solid. Ash clearly fears that Charizard may die from its injuries.

come up with a new question: If pokemon can be taken into balls, I mean, on the common basis of biological mechanics, then human being could also be captured? (since i suppose that pokemon and human are both consisted of cells at least)
PokeBalls are manufactured with a fail-safe device. Each Ball is imprinted with a copy of the basic human genome (it's only 20MB!) with a clause that basically says "DO NOT CAPTURE THIS".

Ah, didnt think of that. Well the pokemon using Absorb or any of its variants may focus on one thing, the pokemon being attacked, and use some sort of magnetic force (not actually magnetic, but some sort of attraction) that sucks the energy right out of the Pokemon being attcked.

em...cannot help thinking about how the balls distinguish other trainers' pokemon between wild pokemons as well as we human bodies. it would really be funny if invented incidently.

lol that's not how you >greentext.

Every PokeBall has a serial number. When a Pokemon is captured and digitized for the first time, a copy of that serial number is imprinted onto it. PokeBalls are built so that they cannot capture anything except the Pokemon that has its imprinted code.

For example, I have a PokeBall with a serial number of SD000000001. I catch a Natu with this ball. Natu is now imprinted with its PokeBall's serial number. If I try to catch or recall another Pokemon with Natu's PokeBall, it won't work because the serials don't match up. If another PokeBall (with a different serial number) is used on my Natu, it won't work for the same reason.

Snag Balls override the serial number check.

Neiteio, you're a genius. I have a small question though - how do trainers distinguish between their Pokeballs. In Pokemon Special, the tops are semi-transparent, revealing a shrunken-down version of the pokemon (though this could arguably be an image on the top), but in the anime and in the games, no sign of this has been shown. So how come Ash never accidentally calls out Staravia instead of Gliscor?

Well that has nothing to do with the Pokemon... Just the trainers... I figure in the anime they have like tens of thousands of out takes of them sending out the wrong Pokemon over and over again xD... That's my scientific theory.... And in the games you're just lucky XD

Oh and the whole soul thing: Sorry to smash religious beliefs and all, but everything from itelligence to morals to what you'd call a "soul" is stored as chemicals in the brain. There is no soul, there is just chains chemical reactions that appear to be a set of morals and habits. And if you had the chemicals, you could build an exact replica of a living being. But since you'd need impossible precision, and to know everything about more than hundreds of billions of particles, it's often considered impossible.
Are you telling me that science has, without any shade of doubt or uncertainty, proven that souls do not exist?

I vaguely remember in the first season of the anime, Misty would occasionally call out Psyduck by accident. Also, Richie had stickers on his PokeBalls to tell them apart. This implies that Trainers sometimes do have trouble picking out the right Ball.

I think AlphaMightyena's got it: Trainers arrange their PokeBalls on their belt in a specific order. Also, not all of the Pokemon may be in the same type of Ball.

Ash's Pikachu's Ball has a lightning bolt mark on it (Episode 1).

Are you telling me that science has, without any shade of doubt or uncertainty, proven that souls do not exist?
On the contrary, a body in a vegetative/comatose state can be physically sound, but is just missing that "spark" of consciousness. If anything, SCIENCE has proven that there is an intangible source of sentience.

Do people eat Pokemon? I remember seeing in the anime once they were eating meat
to add to that, do Pokemon eat other Pokemon?
