Things that never made sense in Pokemon

Ever noticed how diglet can use scratch? Yeah...
 
Charizard not being Dragon type. HE'S A DRAGON.


Mega Charizard X is Fire/Dragon, so there's that....


Another one I thought of because I'm replaying my Black 2 is this: Why doesn't Ghetsis have the Shadow Triad kill you? It'd be easy for them with their ninja powers (they have no trouble kicking you off of the Plasma Frigate before you even know it), and Ghetsis clearly isn't against killing you; he orders Kyurem to Glaciate your digital ass when you finally confront him in Giant Chasm. So why not do that before I become too much of a problem for him? It's clear by the time you have about 7 badges that you're an obstacle to his plans, and you'd think that he'd have learned from the first time around (Black/White). Yes, I am aware that it is Pokémon and that the story is that good beats evil blah blah blah, but just humor me here.
 
I've seen a lot in this thread about Diglett and Dugtrio being able to learn cut, but what about Aerial Ace? That's a flying type move being learned by a ground type Pokemon, not to mention one that's always partially buried.

I never really understood how a trainer can fly on this guy. I mean, I know it's a bug and I know most can fly, but riding on one? That just seems a little bizarre. In the past, I always thought the Trainer would squish the Bug-type they are flying on top of. Bugs are fragile little things!
 
How Slowbro has half a chance of being a female, isn't "bro" short for "brother"?
This is like the Mr Mime one lol.
 
How the heck does Wailord fit in the Pokéball????
 
Some Pokedex entries are quite... questionable for me. Otherwise, I don't have many problems with anything else because:

  • Pokemon are RPGs, of course they have RPG elements.
  • Movesets and the likes are for game balance purposes.
  • Some mistakes/oversights are too late to fix (like Mr. Mime), or maybe they don't want/too lazy to fix.
But ultimately, the fact is that:
Game logic ≠ real world logic
