Things in the Pokémon world which just don't make sense (by pokémon standards)

[Wolf Prince]

i want to point out thanks to the post above, how can Golurk fly in the anime and not in the game?
Also it seems leftovers really last forever, and why is it that pokemon don't get fat? i mean they eat alot of leftovers, milk, berries, etc. And they stay fit for their spieces of pokemon.

Golurk can fly in the games.

^ Yeah it can learn fly.

how do the pokemon hear what the trainers tell them while it's still in the pokeball
ex: in pokemon black the movie that lady with the golurk said ''Golurk stop Zekrom!'' AFTER she said that she let Golurk out of the pokeball,Golurk then flew after Zekrom.

This something I've always wondered too. Especially when they congratulate the pokemon when they are inside the pokeball after a battle.

why wouldnt they hear it? its incomparable to any technology we have to say it doesnt make sense. the whole pokeball makes no sense.

Why are unconcious Pokemon uncatchable?

Trainer: FInally, after hours of attacking this Groudon, Its finally weak enough to catch. Use Tackle _____!

_____ Used Tackle!

Groudon faints, and dissolves into a pool of nothingness.

Yeah outside of game mechanics reasoning its kind of stupid

Here, let me cram your skelital sysem into a puny ball one tenth the size of your body, then put the ball in a computer (?!?!) until i need you next.

HOW DO YOU PUT SO MANY POKEBALLS IN A COMPUTER?XD

Exactly I agree with that.

The same way a tiny disk can teach a Pokemon a move without any way of getting the information off of the disk into the Pokemon's brain, and then disintegrates into nothingness. And how those mechanics only applied to TMs until Gen 5. And how Pokemon can only learn 4 moves.

And how Pokemon can only learn 4 moves.

This for sure. How do they forget to do a tackle or scratch etc.

 

[pikapop]

If they forget bite? How are they gonna eat?

The Pokemon is transformed into an energy upon entry in the Ball, that's what the Red Flash you see when a capture is iniciated.

How come when you hatch a Kangaskhan, it automatically has another baby Kangaskhan in its pouch (which never ever grows up)... where does it even come from? That's like a Kangaskhan inside a Kangaskhan inside a Kangaskhan.

Maybe.. no, wait, that defies physics. OH! I GOT IT!! It's Nintendo Logic.

I like to think the ball creates a habitat for the pokemon inside it

I'm sure this has been asked before but why are there 2 odd keystones in Diamond Pearl and Platinum? A guy by the berry master's house gives you one and there's a hidden one in the trees by the water in twinleaf town (dowsing machine)

 

[Agonist]

You can get multiple Odd Keystones in the underground as well. And, iirc, there is another Odd Keystone somewhere down by the Pal Park, although I may be mistaken.

If Pokemon were real, I could never keep all the pokemon I caught cooped up in their balls on a computer. I'd have to have some where they could be outside like Ash's pokemon @ Professor Oak's. I'd Prolly keep my lead one out of it's ball too, like in HG/SS.

Trainer:

If it were possible to catch Pokemon after knocking them out in the games, literally all you would have to do it knock it out, and the. Throw pokeballs at your leisure until one caught it, assuming the first didn't, as a wild Pokemon would have no way of healing itself. By making it unable to be caught once it's knocked out, it makes it much harder to obtain a pokemon, since you have to keep it from fainting.

How come Alakazam, a Pokémon with an IQ of 5000, enough to match that of a super computer, can only learn four moves at a time?
