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

[Jdrawer]

Buildings are a lot bigger on the inside than they look on the outside. Also, where does everyone live, and why are there so few people?

In the games, only buildings where you're welcomed have doors. That's why there are so many houses w/o doors. Since you're a stranger to most of these people, many buildings don't have doors. They just took them out to remove strain in the player.

It doesn't make sense that the pokemon on the main character's team never die. Obviously, no one wants their pokemon to die, but imagine this. You and your friend agree to battle. Before the battle, you were breeding larvesta. You accidentally bring the larvesta into battle. The opponent sends out a level 100 adamant life orb Rampardos and all you have left is the level 1 larvesta. The opponent, just for fun, raises Rampardos's attack to +6. He uses head smash on the larvesta. How can it possibly survive that?

252Atk Life Orb +6 Mold Breaker Rampardos (+Atk) Head Smash vs 0HP/0Def lvl 1 Larvesta (Neutral): 2186000% - 2571733% (262320 - 308608 HP). Guaranteed OHKO.

Ouch.

Well, it's not like it's actual rock..

But it's the same way a medium-size dog survives a bear attack (pretty appropriate size analogy, I'd think)

I don't think a dinosaur smashing a bug is the same as a dog and a bear..

2) Why on earth can Wooper learn Ice Punch? Where are it's arms?[/QUOTE]

It uses its tail

[ShadowHaxorus]

how can a Farfetch'd fly a human across a region. It's 2'07

[ShadowHaxorus]

How do pokemon like feebas and magikarp fight on land (llack of water) and fire-types like Charizard/ Infernape fight underwater and their flame doesn't die out?

[ShadowHaxorus]

I don't get how Golurk can learn Fly, though.

Golurk can turn its legs into rockets. Watch Pokemon Black/WHite Victini and Reshiram/Zekrom

[ShadowHaxorus]

How can the pokemon you're surfing on battle or faint without you falling off or getting injured? DO you stay on its back during battle?

The pokedex entry state that infernape's fire never goes out. Also in the anime, Ash's charizard was thrown into a lake, but his tail fire didn't go out.

Pokemon only fight until they run out of the energy to battle. They can still do other activities after being defeated.

The battling part is weird, though.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that a 1'08 Oshawott doesn't appreciate somebody standing on his back while swimming

Voltorb holding an item.

Wat.

You put the item.... in its ***!

[ShadowHaxorus]

A Balloon (Air Balloon) can hold a big ole pokemon like STeelix in the air?

[SuperDaikenki]

Dude, don't double post...
Moving on, the fact that samurott can apparently dominate enemies with a glare/howl, but doesn't have intimidate

[((JAWS))]

I bet you no one can answer these.

1. How can a fainted pokemon surf?

2. How can pikachu a yellow rat carry you on it's back while surfing (Yes there is a surfing pikachu)

3. You don't eat the entire game.. Your a slave to your pokemon!

4. Pidgey can fly you across the region???

5. How can you breath under water that long when diving in Sapphire???!!

6. How does bagon use dragon claw?

7. How does magikarp hold an item?

Surfing Pikachu uses a surfboard if I remember correctly, so probably you'll be on its surfboard instead of sitting on it.

5. How can you breath under water that long when diving in Sapphire???!!

For Wailord, you can probably sit comfortably inside it. For all else, however...

I can't see myself being very relaxed inside a Wailord.

1. How can a fainted pokemon surf?

One of the first things explained in the games is that "fainted" means only that it is too tired to keep battling. It can still help you with other tasks, though.

3. You don't eat the entire game.. Your a slave to your pokemon!

Seriously, fiction staple. It's rare to see people eating, drinking water or... doing other biological things... in fiction, especially games.

Most likely because it's irrelevant. Simply imagine that the character does it off-screen.

4. Pidgey can fly you across the region???

Apparently so. "Fly" must have some magical properties.

5. How can you breath under water that long when diving in Sapphire???!!

Remember you're under the effect of a Pokémon move, it probably does something to you so you can breathe.

6. How does bagon use dragon claw?

It probably grows some energy claws — a la anime moves — just for the duration of the move.
