coolcatkim. I see why you asked that question. That's pretty confusing for a pokedex info peice. But in The Official Pokemon Handbook, Which was the first pokemon guidebook released(I'm talkin aboiut the first one(kanto) it states and I quote

"Diglett don't really change form, they join together in groups of three to become Dugtrio."(pg 55, last sentenc of Diglett's description)

Sumner, what exactly are you talking about for the PS thing? could you please give me the quote that lead you to say that.

Slowpoke feel pain but on a 5 second delay, Because there tails are the farthest part of their spine from the brain it is almost completely numb taking at least a day maybe more on some occasions to even register to the brain.
This was mentioned in the show, also. However, since the tips of their tails are specifically designed to catch fish, it may no have feeling receptors (which would save them a lot of [delayed] pain while fishing).

Being a pokemon guru is srz business brah.
QUOTED FOR THE MOTHERFARKING TRUTH.

Also, I would give you a +rep to balance that out, but you've seen to it that doing so is impossible. Meh.

Sorry i had no intentions of that sounding rude at all or anything I meant that vaguely as in if anyone says something and one of the other gurus goes No -Insert Guru name here- The actually explaination = (Whatever else they had to say...)

lol I didnt meant i was personally offended by anything.. it also went to the other people so that they could feel as though they got the answer the were looking for... Like if i answered one way but the way you (Ink) or another guru answered was better they could wait it out and see.

This might've been answered before, but...

There are quite a few pokemon that can only evolve through friendship, but plenty of wild versions are found. So, does that mean the friendship thing can apply to other Pokemon as well?

And if so, wouldn't it be possible to evolve a pokemon this way by fostering a bond between it and another pokemon, even if the pokemon doesn't like you?

Well, in my honest opinion, someone who sells themself out by calling themselves 'Pokémon gurus' either are not gurus or they're just looking for attention. Maybe both. =/

Just sayin', this made you sound pretty conceited. I'm sure anyone can figure out why a Pokémon can do what it does.

how would they fit in a pokeball
Pokémon fit in their Poké Ball by converting into energy when they are captured, returned, et cetera. Like teleportation in the Pokémon world. That's already been stated, I believe.

Sorry if this came off as rude, it was just something I thought you should know.

Officially, its called "Happiness". Although it mostly relates to how well looked after the Pokemon is, its possible for a Pokemon to be wild and happy, isn't it?

...I understand you're not intending to sound rude, but you do realize it's basically just a non-existent biology class, right? It's just for fun. Explaining why pokemon can do such ridiculous things as changing with the weather, or having a tongue twice the length of it's body, it's just a way to pass the time. Who cares what the people participating are called, to my understanding it's kind of a joke anyways. Guru means a well-renowned person, an expert in their field. It's not hard to do that with pokemon...
And, You said that if you call yourself an expert, you can't be one (wtf?), or your just looking for attention. I definitely am not looking for attention, it's just something to do.

if you still have questions, ask Ink, he started it... jk, of course, Ink.

Well, some of the more technically-minded PC members banded together to answer some burning Pokemon questions. Now only one of us made the thread title (and thus, the title of "Guru"), but our primary goal is to answer questions (and hopefully deliver some lulz in the process). I see nothing wrong with this. Besides, calling ourselves "the association of people with average Pokemon knowledge who wish to attempt to answer questions that you will not have because you can answer them already" is ridiculous.

Also, I wouldn't bring up "looking for attention", as you draw attention to yourself with your weird centered indigo text.

I'm sure anyone can figure out why a Pokémon can do what it does.
If that were the case, we wouldn't have 5+ pages of questions and answers. And that's only this thread!

Not so fast! Solid matter is the most compact form of matter, and energy takes up the most space. If the atoms of a Charizard were to turn into energy, the volume necessary to hold that energy would be exponentially greater than the amount necessary for a solid Charizard's mass.

Technically, it's purple. And I don't see what that has to do with anything. The only thing that proved was that you just felt the need to say something rude.

If that were the case, we wouldn't have 5+ pages of questions and answers. And that's only this thread!
Again, I will say it: Anyone can tell you why a Pokémon does what it does. Not necessarily the person that answered the question. Just look a little more into this and you'll finally see what I mean. But you take everything at face-value.

Doesn't matter. It's called 'anime', and it does necessarily take physics into account. It gets turned into energy, end of story. It's not my fault the creators didn't want to waste time figuring the rest out.

Shinji, I usually don't drag out arguments, but you appear to be a reasonable person, so I'll debate a bit. But, also, anyone else, Please try to contribute to the original purpose of the thread.

Ok, so, to start off, you have to be careful with your wording. You used an absolute. Someone who sells themselves out as a Pokemon guru is not. I am right in saying that, correct? You either intentionally or unintentionally meant all people. If they're pokemon gurus by their own words, they are not. Second, do you know what selling out is? "Selling out" is defined as compromising of one's integrity, morality or principles for money or 'success'. We are not selling out here. Again, it's just for fun!

On topic: Regigigas, how does it work? Regirock is made of rock, etc., but what is Regigigas made of?

Technically, it's purple.
The color tag in your text says "COLOR=Indigo", so I will call it indigo.

Again, I will say it: Anyone can tell you why a Pokémon does what it does.
Again, I will say it: if that were the case, there would be no Pokemon-related questions.

Doesn't matter. It's called 'anime', and it does necessarily take physics into account. It gets turned into energy, end of story. It's not my fault the creators didn't want to waste time figuring the rest out.
Well, us GURUS like to apply real-world physics, chemistry, and physiology to 'anime', and thus come up with more reasonable explanations to how things work than "because the producers said so". Just look a little more into this and you'll finally see what I mean. You don't have to take everything, including anime, at face-value.

I would like to hear your reasoning on why you are so adamant regarding Pokemon being converted into energy. Could you come up with something a bit more reasonable and solid than "because it's an anime"?

There's a theory regarding digitization floating around in my head, but it'll take some research to back up. Off the top of my head, though, I know that the human genome takes up approximately 20MB of data. The inner shell of the PokeBall could be receptive, like a hard disc, and thus hold the Pokemon's consciousness and data. This would also explain how the Pokemon enters a "comfortable virtual world" upon being recalled to it's Ball.

Okay everyone, this fight is over. I'll explain in a bit, but I want u all to just settle it okay. Now I'm going to answer these question in the order they were posted, and leave the fight thing for last.

A pokemon gains experience through friendship, care, fighting, strategy, and most important, love. Wild pokemon who are evolved have found experience in these ways on their own or with friends. As long as they meet the requirements of experience in any way, they'll evolve, so yes, if the pokemon ignores the trainer and finds experience, it can evolve from loving another pokemon.

Filocakes, it's alright, I understand. Just please be nicer.

The regis have a thin membrane controlling the'r functions. Regigas has a colored shell(which is very hard) and the trees are just fur.

I have to go now, but will settle the argument later.

Goodbye.

Okay, but I still wanna have a little say in it if you don't mind.
The reason I called the thread Real Pokemon Guru is because I had the idea. Why pokemon guru. The name popped into my head, and I thought it was a good title and would make the thread more popular so I could get lots of questions. I had been thinking of some questions and tried to answser them to the best of my ability before this thread, for I to wonder how these amazong creatures preform these miraculous techniques and attacks. It totally blew up(as in it became really popular really fast) and I was answering up a storm. Some other people wanted to help so I let them and I wanted a name for them that wasn't demeaning in anyway(like assistant, that title makes me kind of feel like everyone is a lower class than me) so I took on the title of Pokemon Guru. The side guru name I got from Yams and that's how it started. So no I'm not concieted, and no I'm not selling out. I'm not lookinmg for attention and am just doing this for fun. I in no way intend to come off as concieted or a sell out.

BTW Mooglizer. I was lookin at Shinji's visitor messagesand saw you were getting kind of bored with this. Please do explain.

End of story, we do the guru thing because it is a fun time-killer, not because we want attention (probably, as I do not know the intentions of others). The "Guru" title was just used to attract people, and it caught on. Noone has to take it as a literal definition.

Anywho, anyone know where Poliwhirl's and Poliwrath's mouths are? How do they eat?

Shinji please do not answer questions untileither I and a side guru answers or two side gurus answer.

As for Poliwhirl, the very middle of the swirl is it's mouth. It is hiddeen thoiugh to look like it doesn't have one, since the mouth is dark. The swirl's edge enlarges slightly and that is when its mouth opens.

The pokeballs: I'v already explained that on page two, post #31.
