Ash Logic

[Drayton]

So previous series ash showing some logically-broken law that he can carry pokemon on his head or holding them without worrying about injuries as a result of lifting a pokemon that 72k or even lifting a large log (he isn't even do gyms)

Seems the logic was broken on S/M where the logically-broken is no longer broken and ash seems can't lift the log like he used to on advanced generations.

Do you ever think that ash could hold a pokemon that weight more than 72k, but small size like larvitar or he able to lift a log on advanced generation until he loses his buffness during sun and moon.

No one said the cartoons are 100% realistic.
Also while we're talking Ash logic, the way his Pikachu is super effective against, oh, everything.

"Ash logic" is in and of itself an oxymoron. Cartoon realism or lack thereof aside, as the main character he's going to be garbed in all sorts of Plot Armour unless the situation demands that he can't do something. The same goes for his Pokemon.

I like the idea for this thread as a way to just share some flawed, funny "Ash logic" or "pokemon logic", so I'll just input some that I can remember. Also, everyone knows cartoons aren't 100% realistic, it's an unwritten law. But it's still fun to point out flawed physics, logic, etc, so I don't think anyone should take this too seriously.

* Pikachu demolishing powerful pokemon such as dragonite, then getting bodied by a starter chikorita
* Yelling a command like "do it!", or "let's go!" to his pokemon, and then the pokemon uses a random move.
* getting depressed after losing in the round of 16 in his debut league, but being happy losing in the grand final of his sixth league.
* Being absolutely oblivious to any sign of flirting because the writers think that's cool apparently
* Standing still and yelling out "Pikachu no!" when team rocket capture Pikachu, instead of just running and grabbing Pikachu back.
* Using torkoal against darkrai in the Sinnoh League semi finals
* Looking at the pokedex for pokemon that he has already seen several times.

If you remember other moments where the show has contradicted itself, or just been a bit dumb, you should share it! It's funny to look at! Nothing more really needs to be said!

There are no gyms in Alola.

It makes sense for him to slack off and lose his muscle.

I don't think it's a mistake he's oblivious to girls flirting with him or obviously interested in him. 10 year old boys usually aren't quite into girls as anything more than friends yet, and some are still in their "girls are icky" stage at that age.

The fact that he is 10 explains why he is sometimes slow on the uptake.
With such a long running show it can be annoying that he is permanently 10 years old and will never be anything more than a kid or really show any interest in girls. It doesn't help much that he usually has older companions or rivals.
