What you doin?
Pokemon are converted into data and restored to a miniature size(check out the pokemon manga. You can see a smaller pokemon through it) and have a virtual world projected all around them. The projector projects the correct virtual enviroment based on the pokemon DNA which is scanned in less than a second. They just play and have fun in their virtual enviroment. The pokeball uses a lot of nanotechnology.
The amazing spoon(part 2)
Since Abra's knowledge grows higher and higher as it evolves(Alakazam's IQ is 5000) It gets the ability to take any metal around it any atal andform it into a spoon. That's the best I got.
Tighties!
Hitmonchan's appearence makes it look like a boxer. It's just its physical appearence.
Macoke and Machamps belt are like how a snake sheds it's skin and a cicada sheds it's shell. It grows it, and the belt has a toxin, not lethal, but a toxin that stops machoke from destroying everything in sight.

Alright Inkfingers, here's a question: when you make a post like "Ask me a question, I bet you can't stump me", is that a sneaky self-bump or are you just eager and/or impatient?

Minor Edit: I was just reading Mistermagius' "Let the stars decide what pokemon you are!" thread, and apparently your sign is a Bidoof.

You have my condolences.

WEl I love answering this questions it really makes me think and I love it. Also, when I say stuff like that it makes people say. I got it! He can't get this one!. Then when I answer it(cuz I haven't been able to answer one yet) they're dissapointed, get pissed off and it makes me look better. Everyone wins.

Bidoof
Ya I was actually really dissapointed on that. But if you haven't done it, what MM does is he asks you your bday, takes your horoscope(I'm a pices) and picks a few elements. You pick the ones that best go w/ your personality and tell him and he picks the pokemon. And I wound up with Bidoof. But who cares, I'm a Frickin MEW!

Heh. The old Pokemon horoscope thing I did said my sign was a Chimecho (two days away from being a Xatu!), and another test said my personality was an Alakazam. I've also been compared to a Medicham a few times, in both appearance (lol?) and demeanor. Can't escape those Psychic-types...

I prefer the Chinese zodiac over the Western, though, as there are many more potential combinations: everyone has a sign, year, element, and polarity. For example, I am a Rabbit born in the year of the Metal Horse and my polarity is Yang. I find it interesting though that people born under both my Chinese year (Horse) and Western sun sign (Scorpio) are described as extremely sexeh.

Two completely separate cultures independently arrive at the same conclusion? That can't be a mere coincidence.

According to a post a while back, it has been proved that Pokemon are turned into energy, not data and stored into the Pokeball.

... I can't believe we haven't gotten this one already. XD

Ok, In the specific case of the regi pokemon, I'd say it absorbs whatever it can out of the lemonade (or other drinks) through pores, and the flavoring, dye, etc. are not. I really don't like this answer, so I'll come back and change and/or revise it.

Yeah, sorry, even though I said I wouldn't post here, I have some things I don't agree with. One being comparing things to the manga.

Pokemon are converted into data and restored to a miniature size(check out the pokemon manga. You can see a smaller pokemon through it) and have a virtual world projected all around them.
No, the manga is not canon. Hell, the anime isn't really canon either. The games are canon, pure and simple. In the games, Pokémon are converted to energy and I stand by that considering the anime/manga doesn't follow canon correctly all the time.

Next questions please. Bet you can't beat me.
Cut the ego.
I agree with you, Donnie.

Three words: Genetically enhanced grass. Next question.
That's a terrible explanation.

Sorry if I come of as rude, I really am, but maybe you should make your arguments less flawed?

I kinda disagree there. Imho, they are canon...they are just different canons...which means that every question needs about three answeres XD

I just realised something....

So, Ink, your 'explanation' was that the grass was genetically modified to contain more energy, right? However, this energy still has to come from somewhere, meaning that the grass would need to photosynthesise at a ridiculous rate. photosynthesis, as we know, requires three things - Carbon Dioxide, Water and Light. For Photosynthesis to happen at such a fast rate, these three would have to be incredibly abundant (and if there was a lot more CO2 in the atmosphere of the Pokemon world, then their climate would be a little different). Remember also that the GM grass would have to compete with the regular grass for these things, and space as well. Seeing as the GM grass needs a helluva lot more light, CO2 and water than regular stuff, it would be at a distinct disadvantage. In fact, the first time there was a cloudy day or it didn't rain for a while, the GM grass would die out completely, thanks to their high requirements.

To summarise - this GM grass would provide enough energy, but logically could not be a successful member of the ecosystem and would most likely die out, once again raising the question of where exactly the Miltank get their energy from.

They most certainly aren't canon. The canon is the games. There can't be more than one actual canon. You say they're 'canon in their own way', which really doesn't make any sense at all.

energy was my original theory, butI learned that enrgy takles up more space than matter. Data, however does not.

It's not so much as an ego as it is a challenge. It kind of intimidates the questioneer and more questions come up.

The mouth thing I've answered before w/ poliwhirl. Small mouth that is hidden by dark markings. The pokemon can have a different colored mouth though(to support this some lizards have blue tongues) and that is hidden by different colored markings.

I never said the manga was canon, that was just some support to my theory

The grass could be like steroids I suppose. They have a chemical that speeds up photosynthesis, like talking to plants makes them grow faster, only chemically.

No, it wasn't. The energy theory was brought up and discussed, but never proven. I think I was the first to propose the digitization theory (and a rebuttal for why energy conversion wouldn't work), and considering that it both made sense and no one really refuted it, it is still valid.

The best we can do is come up with a reasonable theory, post it, and debate it.

Question: How do Pokemon without mouths such as the Regi's drink beverages such as "lemonade" and "fresh water"
Hmm... Now that you mention it, Starmie, Magnemite, Claydol, and the a few of the object-group Pokemon are also capable of "eating" berries and drinking the restorative drinks.

Well, the only thing that makes any sort of sense is absorption through their outer surface. Just pour some Lemonade on that Registeel- it's all good (he'll probably get a bit sticky, though). Berries can be crushed and the juice (the potent part of the berry) absorbed.

Things work this way in [earth] biology, also: the nutrients make their way inside somehow, either by phago-/pinocytosis, absorption, or familiar digestion.

And I'm still working on that Miltank grass thing. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten.

Obviously, it's hard to support theories without there being actual canon proof.
Well, do the games include any specific mention of Pokemon being turned into energy? If so, could you find and reference that for us? I can't seem to find anything about it on my own.

From a strictly canon [video game] perspective, we do know that Pokemon are stored in PCs, which [to me] references some sort of data <-> matter conversion.

I respect your opinion and all, but just because its one franchise, it doesn't mean one canon and continuity. The Zelda Games spring to mind, for example. As does the Spider-man frnachise. One could very easily argue that the films and comics have separate but equally accurate canon.


and @Ink - Steroids? May I ask how this chemical influences the rate of photosynthesis exactly? And your comment about talking to plants is a little...unscientific, tbh.

What ShinjisLover is saying is that Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon, only oversaw the creation of the games. A separate company paid for the rights to the series and created the anime and manga (?) afterwards. As such, the games would be the closest to Satoshi's intentions as he was supervising it, whereas the anime and manga creators could slip in whatever they felt like.

Exhibit A: Magical badges in the manga.

Nieto just so you know, the data idea was moreso helped by you. That was my original thought, but I didn't think things could be transferred into data. But now I know they can, so just gettin some credit here.

I'll have to research the photosynthesis thing. Talking to plants gives them more carbon dioxide than usual speeeding photosynthesis and helping them grown faster.

BTW badges show that the trainer is a serious master(kinda like how if you stand up to a dog when you first get it when it thinks it's in charge, it'll respect you...usually) The badges are a sign of accomplishment, trust and competition. The pokemomn recognizes you as a respected trainer.

In my opinion, Canon is games to manga to anime. Take as much as possible from the games, and if there's something lacking, go to the manga, and then the anime. I haven't read much of the manga (shame on me!), so I will usually skip straight to anime.

Badges: Srs Bizns.

The only thing I can imagine for the Miltank issue is the grass just has a higher calorie count than real grass, or it eats more than that.

I was more referring to how ridiculous the PokeSpecial badges are.

In Pokémon Special, badges have mystical and mysterious qualities that can somehow increase the power of the Pokémon owned by the Trainer who wields the badges.

Team Rocket used seven Kanto Gym badges to power a machine that combined Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres into a single beast. The machine also had a secret slot for the Earth Badge, which Lance manipulated to further his own goals by turning Cerise Island into a giant badge energy amplifier.
Gym badges = magical artifacts that radiate mystical energy? SRSLY?

Well, yeah, but you have to spend several hours a day on each plant for this to have a noticeable effect. Can you imagine a farmer spending several hours on every square foot of his land to get what would eventually be a very small increase in their calorie content?

How exactly would that work? Talking to plants is the idea that you breathe on them while doing it, thereby giving them more CO2. Giving the grass some kind of chemical is not the same as breathing on them in any way whatsoever.

I still don't know. I'm doing research.Maybe there's some mix of chemicals that let it get CO2 faster, absorb sunlight quicker(like solar panels or something) and take in water and maybe have it hold it longer(like a sponge) and use it in a more efficient way, intensifies the light, and takes in more heat. I'll keep searching. Tell me if you find nything like that.

I have another theory. The grass could breed at an extremely fast rate somehow.

Ok, just realised a BIG question that needs answering. Go watch a clip on Youtube of Pikachu using Thunderbolt or something. Get What the problem is? Look again. Think about one of the defining characteristics of electricity - it moves so fast it seems instantaneous to our eyes. So how the hell does the yellow rat manage to make its attacks travel so damn slowly that they can be blocked or even dodged?

On top of that, how does Pikachu generate such a massive potential difference anyway?

Its Pikachu, the illogical mouse pokemon!

EDIT: To above poster...Muk could possibly cool its goo somehow, causing the goo to solidify and harden. How it would drop its body temperature so rapidly, I don't know, however. Bug types like Pinsir are easier. Bugs have exoskeleton's, right, that function like a suit of armour - hard plates to block, fixed together by weaker joins. In Pinsir's case, this would be gaps between the plates that exposed the fleshy body underneath. When using harden, it contracts the muscles in these gaps, pulling the exoskeleton plates closer together and strengthening its defenses.

That's just my humble opinion, though :P
