Trying to reviatalize this thread...
I've learned from the anime that Pokémon only heard about in legends will always come and seek the assistance of a 10 year old boy. (Though technically, Ash is now 22, since the anime premiered in 1997. So does that mean that Ash is a pedophile for traveling with Dawn?)
I've learned from the games:
- School is not important. 10 year old kids regularly go off and live on their own in villas without ever returning to complete their educations.
- Every TV show ever aired deals exclusuively with Pokémon. There are no such things as sports, and news stations always have giant Pokéball graphics in the background.
And, to the previous poster, your questions are either impossible to answer or easy to answer, with Bulbapedia or common sense. For example, Arceus doesn't have a set type. Sure, by default it's normal, but it can be any one of the 17 elemental types with a plate (plus the ???-type). And is Brock a boy or a girl? Really?
