56. No one really cares about 10 year olds gambling for dolls

57. that everyone from an evil organization claims to steal other people's Pokemon, but they still insist on using Zubat, Glameow, Stunky, Meowth, and the like. Over and over and over again.

60. Police ppls only want to fight you at night

61. Experience in life is given to you by points

62. Most people only require a one room
house that usually only has a bookcase and table in it.

63. That in order to Smash a rock or to cut a tree you need a badge otherwise you aren't ready to do so

64. I also learned that when a Pokemon faints, it won't wake up until you take it to a Pokemon Center or feed it a small, diamond-shaped piece of who-knows-what. Really, what do they make medicine out of?

65. Grunts in an evil HQ never raise the alarm after they lose - they just stand there

66. Oh, and playing lullabies wakes things up

75. Though many people have KO'd wild animals for experience, you never see any unconscious/dead bodies lying around after the battle

76. Digimon isn't supposed to exist. According to Professor Oak,"...you can't turn a soul into data!" How could he say that? So I've been watching a lie since 1999? I think NOT! He just doesn't want any Pokemon competition, I guess.. (I'm sorry my fellow digimon fan club members)

78. Oak didn't realize he would actually need 4 Pokemon stocked, not just 3 Pokemon and Pikachu...

79. Computer soldiers can cost way more in one game version's gambling prize redemption area than they do in another.

80. Pigs can fly, if given the chance. All they need is someone with expert hacking skills.

82. Overgrown lilypads love to dance.

83. You have a 1 in 8192 chance of seeing funky-colored animals covered in glitter.

84. The government is so incompetent. 10-year-old kids are always required to end crises. And leaders of gyms almost freakin' everyone else in the world are/ is so lazy! Many of them have animals that are much stronger than your animals during the crises, so they could easily handle the situation themeselves. But NO... They just stand in their gyms/houses as if nothing's happening to the world.

85. If it's raining on a route right before a treehouse city, you just have to take one step into the city to make the rain disappear.

86. You can stand right next to your animals and get hit by hail, fire, water, rocks, sandstorms, earthquakes, and explosions without feeling a thing or getting hurt

87. Trainers often begin the first day of their career by oversleeping, being woken up by their mother, and being reminded that they slept so late that they missed the meeting with the Professor.

88. To be a professor you HAVE TO be named after a tree. If there is ever a Trainer with a last name that is a tree, then he or she must at some point become a Professor.

89. I learned that all species in the entire world lay eggs.

90. Even when in a life-or-death fight against an evil sociopath in an alternate universe, you still have to take turns.

91. Time travel is possible, but only for baseball-sized objects

92. Trainers don't have to fight said creatures themselves. They can let their pets do all the fighting for them. After all, better them than us. Unfortunately...

93. Moon Rocks can change the way creatures look

94. No scientist has ever bothered to find out what's under a diglett

95. Don't throw rocks at sparrows or taunt weak red flopping fish - You'll regret it later

96. Psychic creatures which have an IQ of over 5000 loves to play with spoons and nothing else

97. That goes the same with Farfetch'd except they'll hold nothing else but leaks - where do they get those things anyway?

98. Berries can also give you defense against certain attacks. And if you eat a berry you hate, you can get confused.

99. The only crime that exists is stealing other people's pokemon. Anything and everything else is excusable.

And most importantly 100: Only people named Ash can save the world
 
i learned you can become a successful world-famous champion without saying a word
 
I learned it's ok to beat up a little boy's Bidoof with a Rayquaza and steal all his money.
I also learned it's ok to take legendary Pokemon that protect the world and put them in a PC box.
 
Ive learned that one 10 year old boy can save the world from dangerous criminals that plot to, I dunno, lets say floods and lava.

Ive learned that the police is virtually useless. Yes they do exist, just look at cerulean city (was it that one?) there is a police station. But do they take charge against criminals like team rocket? No

Ive learned that there are no such things as hositals as the games. I guess the people who rule that land must not care enough to actually install hospitals

Ive learned that pokemon medicine actually has the potential to cure someone (yes it happened in the anime when some old dude gave ash medicine for his stomach)

Ive learned that there is no definate leader of the regions. I mean if the lands are based so much on japan, wouldnt there be a ruler for each region? No wonder there are actually criminals amok so much in those lands
 
Ive learnt that even though you are a pokemon champ, you still have to face him again and again as if you wouldve never won in teh first place
 
i learned that you can run around an entire country for months or even years without calling or writing home, and when you do go back to visit, all mommy will do is say that you look tired, send you to take a nap, and send you on your merry way.

oh, and sleeping or resting heals your pets completey, without them coming out of their pokeballs.
 
Ive learned that I can surf faster- provided I pay for another game+)

- That ground based animals can battle out in mid sea.
- That every old person looks pretty much the same.
- That you can achieve your dreams if you pit wild creatures against other wild creatures.
 
I've learned:

- Television can only show three programs
- It really ISN'T butter!
- The only professional sport there is in this world is animal fighting
 
I've learned that if you ever meet an old man he will send you to do his dirty work of seeing all the pokemon in the world.
I've also learned that if you force your pets to battle then no one will care because everyone else does it too.
 
I've learned that fishes can breathe and live on land, even in the desert. (Hoenn region's desert, DPPt's Route...228, I think? You can send out a fish and it will act normal.)
 
  • You can be deemed one of the world's strongest trainers with only a level 12 Pikachu. (Eagun, Pokemon XD)
  • Everything has potential to explode, including leaves, water, and bites.
  • Bags are larger than they look.
  • Fire sprinklers can take out giant rock snakes.
  • Bad guys can manage to get launched hundreds of feet into the air by various means, while others standing near them will not be moved or even affected. Those same people won't get seriously injured from the flight which would surely kill a normal person.
  • Your name must be somewhat related to the type you plan to specialize in your gym.
  • Sleeping (Rest) is considered a psychic power, while magically healing your wounds (Recover) is deemed normal.
  • It is possible to dig on water, and dive on land.
  • Birds (Staravia and Staraptor) can intimidate even gods.
  • Whales and kittens can reproduce together.
  • You can create fire underwater. (Underwater battles in Hoenn)
  • It's okay to have battles in a graveyard; radio towers are more important anyways.

I've learned that ghosts can die ("Faint" but no one believes that.)
 
Ive learned that when your ten years old you leave home on a dangerous adventure and your parents let you go :)
 
As of the movie I've seen tonight, if you go back in time, you can tell those people things of the future, and there are hardly any consequences. (Except killing gods)
 
Your bag has some sort of Time-lord technology inside of it, same with Pokeballs and accessory cases.
 
I learned that there are many variations of that red-and-white ball, the most powerful one being that Master something.

I learned that PCs can contain anything.
 
13. The main character's parents are divorced except in R/S/E - cause we actually know where your dad is
Click to expand...


This is so true, lol.

- You can magically create a hole ten times as wide and twenty times as deep as your body in a split second, only to fall into an underground cavern without being injured and defying gravity by floating back to the surface.
- A man with a Machop and a lot of time on his hands trying to build a building will NEVER make any progress.
