Things in Pokemon that don't make sense.

How in the world is Fighting super-effective against Dark? I can't figure out the logic of that...

Dark is originally meant to imply fighting dirty and using cheap tricks, not actually being evil. It makes a bit more sense that way.

So how do cheats and playing dirty give you inmuniti to psychic attacks?

The fact that we're supposed to believe that the Kanto/OI/Johto/Sinnoh sagas ALL took place during 1 year of Ash's life when he's 10 years old. WTF?!

Sliding timescale. This is the very same reason why Bart Simpson can have like eight Christmases while being 9 years old in all of them.

time doesn't advances in TV/ Videogames (sometimes)
 
Well, Actually about 25% in Johto, a year had passed. In the Pikachu short before movie 3, they were celebrating the year anniversary of Ash meeting Pikachu, which was on his 10th birthday. So this is after going through one full region, a small sidequest(Orange Archipelago) and a quarter of Johto. So now say the rest of Johto, Whirl Island, and a small part of Hoenn counts for another year. Use the rest of Hoenn, Battle Frontier, and a bit of Sinnoh, and another year has past.

So basically, Ash COULD be 13, turning 14 a bit in Ishuu
 
We're always told that if a Charmander's (or its evolved forms) tail flame goes out it dies but I swear I saw an episode where one of them fell in the sea. I think this idea's a bit harsh though, what if there's a strong wind? Or rain? Or a flood?

fanfiction is life
In the Anime, leaves and water explode. Okay sure, it's a high speed and all, but honestly. Actually, almost all Anime Physics are messed up. The point is, though, it's fiction and meant for little kids. They sidestep everything they run into without fixing the politically incorrect error. XP

Also, the Mr. Mime being female thing, think LADYBUG.

Anime physics are not meant to relate with any real-life matter whatsoever.

The one thing in Diamond,Pearl,Platinum,Heartgold, and SoulSilver that really annoyed me besides not including a random match mode is the fact that you can`t use the level 50/100 all option like you can in the wifi battle rooms. That really pisses me off! If you have it for the wifi modes why can`t you do the same for the local wireless ones?

My guess is that this feature was put in for organized play of some sort. Then again, if that were true, it'd be the other way around: a level balancer for local wireless.
