In order to protect the poor Skitty's kitty, I'm gonna say artificial insemination.


As such, I'm more inclined to feel sorry for whomever the poor unfortunate soul is that has to collect the Wailord sperm.


But that's the nature of the work, innit.

How do NPCs heel their Pokemons if they stay at the same place all the time?

Why does your opponent(be it an NPC or a wild encounter) always start the battle with full HP?

How can you encounter an unlimited amount of wild Pokemons outside, sometimes in very confined places?

Why does Team X, Y or Z just let you escape without harm if they defeat you?

How come Jotho has a lot of Pokemons you can't find in Kanto, even though both regions are literally next to each other geographically speaking, and feature very similar types of environments?

Minor one: Why is Oddish twice the size of Bellossom?(size and weight never made much sense in Pokemon games, granted)

-Of course, how does the Pokemon Center earn profit if their service is always free? (Prob fixed it in later gens with the market being inside it)
I always thought it was a public service. Or that part/all the money you lose when you "black out" actually go to them(myth debunked in Gen 3).

5.Mere drinks like soda and water do more healing than scientifically made potions.
There is a creepypasta theory the says Kanto was in a war during the time of the first games, so water would be more expensive since it's a vital supply for the troops (or something like that xD)

One thing I don't get is that gym leaders have total authority to refuse giving badges! Like Clair, for example, she refuses to hand it to you unless you clear *another* challenge that isn't in the gym itself... technically the trainer can be stucked forever and never compete in the leagues because some gym leader like Whitney was crying and forgot to give you the badge... It's not fair at all.

Best.Thread.Ever. IMO!

-Why are there multitudes of people just standing around, waiting to battle specifically you. Paying no heed whatsoever to all the other trainers right beside them. (Only once do I remember any trainers partaking in battle with one another.)
Like seriously...

-HMs. Apparently- unless you teach Lapras Surf- it just won't know how to swim and flop around like an epileptic at a rave party.
Yeah, go figure. Lapras, go surf already! (Lapras: "Wat.")

-HMs again. Why is it that you require a badge before being able to use them outside of battle? I doubt a Scyther will simply refuse to cut things unless you happen to have a tiny medallion.
Yeah, that's even worse... Charmeleon, use your fire for Flash! (Charmeleon: "You don't have the badge though!")

But know what's much worse? How the hell do badges tell the Pokemon to obey you anyways? (Random Pokemon: "Dude, you ain't got the badge to tell me what to... oh ♥♥♥♥, you do!? Well fudge! ...I was going to just lay out here in the sun and enjoy the day, bastard!")

-When you become Champion- why does nobody ever come to challenge you?
Mhm, one thing I never liked... once you become Champion, there's no additional story to it really.

-Why does Mewtwo listen to you?

-How on EARTH do you catch Arceus? It's the God of the universe.
Yeah... let's just throw this "master ball" at Mewtwo, Arceus, etc. (which how can we even be sure it would actually work under any realistic scenario?), even if it does keep them 'caught', how then, or why would any of these legendaries even bother listening?

- Certain Female Pokemon: Machamp? Alakazam??
To be fair here, in terms of Machamp... there are women that are so obsessed with weightlifting, they look like guys, so... and then some women are just born with too much testosterone or produce too much of it (and vice versa for men can be true as well).

- Dark being weak to Bug - like really?? A big bad Pokemon is weak to bugs?
Dark or Psychic, really... it seems like the only thing bugs should be weak to are Grass and just maybe Normal-type Pokemon.

How does wailords even fit in the daycare?
Yeah, this goes for a lot of Pokemon.

...I actually had something else to add. I forgot since making this post. Blasted.

Actually I can explain the psychic one, Dark and bug are very common fears, and fear is a weakness of the mind.

Dark is I bit harder to explain, but I mostly assume its because bugs excel at nighttime, if you open you're window at night you'll see what I mean.

the unnecessary hms. like seriously gamefreak you guys should take a hint from many hack roms makers and just use fly and surf. give surf around the 3rdish badge and fly by the 6ish and call it a day. luckily i managed to make it through y while only needed both of them but i still ended up needing to have two hm slaves for rock smash flash and cut...

I thought about this when I was replaying XY recently... before Santalune, you battle a bunch of preschoolers. Ignoring the fact that they have Pokemon already and also ignoring the fact that they are just hanging out by the road unsupervised, talking to passing strangers -- they are also there if you're playing at like 2am, like I was.

Parents in the Pokemon universe are SO irresponsible.

Three things:

1. Why do they call Mr. Mime Mr. Mime when they can be female. Should of just called them Mime.

2. How is Jynx male... (ok... I can see how, but let's not get into that)
1. I explained it a while back in this post. Basically, since genders didn't exist in GenI, the localization team took certain liberties that couldn't be retconned after the gender was introduced in GenII.

2. Jynx is an all-female species, so I don't even know what you're getting at. o_0;

I just don't get the concept of being SO confused, that you hit yourself! If I were confuzzled, I would simply sit down, and try to grasp the situation.

Also, wtf is up with people mistaking Suduwoodo for a TREE?!

I still don't get how Aliens crash land on earth, spawn off spring, and then we in turn, we don't except the truth that there is Intelligent life forms out there, and consider them equal, we call them POKEMON! WTF?

- In X/Y, how do pokemon push those giant rocks? I don't get it.
- How come certain pokemon will only appear after you defeat the E4? I mean, do they just not exist until then?
- Why do trainers sit around all day and night, looking for YOU.
- How can you no climb up those tiny little ledges?
- Do you ever eat? Or are just eternal, and don't need to eat?
- How do you fly on a Pidgey or Murkrow?
- How can a Lv13 Pidgeotto exist? (FALKNER. I'm talking to you.)
- When you go underwater, do you just sort of breathe water?
- Why won't any Pokemon use HMs unless you have one certain badge?
- How do Pokemon die? There are graves in the games, but how do they die?
- What happens if a fainted Pokemon is continuously attacked? Is that how they die?
- How does Doduo fly?
- How do some Pokemon surf?
- Where do gym leaders get the idea that using 1 type and 1 type only is a great idea?
- Why do lower leveled gym leaders use such weak pokemon? When you lose battles, don't there Pokemon gain EXP? How do they never level up?
- Why is my character in the exact same spot as he was when I last saved? What does he do? Just stand there? Like a trainer?
- Why do certain characters move in small preset paths, never changing? Running endlessly in a circle? Sounds fun! ....
- Why can't you wipe the sand out your eyes?
- How does wagging a tail or cutely growl make you take more damage? And how does howling make you do more?
- How does Ash never age? (Ok, I actually have an answer to this, but I'll explain that later, in some different post.)
- How do the tears of Pokemon back to life?
- How exactly do PCs and Pokeballs work?
- Why can a Master Ball be made once, and only once?
- Why don't they just produce all pokeballs as Ultra or Master balls?
- How can Diglett learn cut?
- Why don't we have dads, except in 1 region?
- Why can a Wailord not just, like, fall on Pokemon to KO them?
- Why is Wailord so big, and fit into a pokeball. For that matter, how do any pokemon fit into them?
- What do they do in them?

most of those questions i can answer but theres only a few i wanna answer/respond to.

1. what if your character BECOMES a trainer when you save and quit? trainerception

2. digitizing.

3. because the company that makes pokeballs realized master balls are too op and would make catching pokemon WAY too easy for everyone. the one masterball you get is the finished version that they realized was too op and decided not to mass produce. as for ultra balls trainers like variety. there are other pokeballs that can have the same or even better effectiveness as ultras but look different and appeal to different people and pokemon (quick and luxury for example)

4.see #2.

I always thought it was more like making a Master Ball is rather expensive and difficult to do, so PokeBall companies aren't able to make very many of them.

I've always wondered what Pokemon do inside Pokeballs. Whenever they're sent out, they usually look ready to go (there have been exceptions xD). How do they know they're gunna be called out? Do they live in there with a way to sleep? A way to eat?

- How can fire pokemon battle underwater/on the water without fainting?
- How can you dig in the ocean/dive on the land/surf on the land during the battle?
- How can certain pokemon fit in the pokeball and how can you carry that pokeball than considering that wailord, groudon and kyogre are really really heavy?
- You are in the house and somebody challenges you to a battle - you choose wailord - how come the house you are in doesn't get demolished since that thing is really big and heavy?
I don't care about EV's or IV's - I play for fun not competitive.
