I know there’s 900+ Pokémon now but there are just so many inconsistencies that don’t make sense like a titan that can move countries weighing less then a soccer van

It’s ok ice types suck
I’ve always considered the Pokedex more like a bestiary where someone wants to sell their books, so they make em seem way super cool compared to real life.
Also whoever writes Pokedex entries seriously hates Magikarp
It’s like Chinese Food. The Chinese just call it “Food”. So it doesn’t learn Ice Punch because to him it’s just a “Punch”.
*Edit: Ice Punch, not Ice Lunch*
Tfw you realize no pokemon weighs more than a car.
Toyota mr2 (2800lbs)
Still annoyed that Gyarados is water/flying, but can’t learn fly but can learn all kinds of dragon moves.
Do you wanna know why none of those things matter?
**BECAUSE POKÉMON IS A GAME FOR 8 YEAR OLDS**
That’s sort of the point…to confuse you. Some JRPGs screwed around the elements too, some fire enemies will be weak to fire instead of immune to fire for example, or the enemies that look like knights will be magic based instead of physical attacks.
It’s a design choice based on eluding the obvious.
I mean also essentially *all* Pokemon can learn Toxic. Why the hell that is, I have no clue. Poison Pokemon suck almost unilaterally. Given the prevalence of Toxic Stall, the game meta would be quite different if they were the only types that could learn Toxic.
Keep your logic inside a ball that holds monsters and shrinks
You’re trying to mess with me. Get out of my head, maybe. Get out of my head! Get out of my head!
Ice isn’t very strong. Tell you what, I’ll give you arms made of ice and you tell me how much you feel like punching things.
obviously you do not see the magnificence of a ghastly. as the pokemon fated to evolve into the best pokemon in the series, it does not abide your human logic. it is beyond us
I usually despise pokemon, but regarding this kind of nonsense and as a shin megami tensei fan, I think it’s fair. In megaten you fuse a fairy with a plant and the result is a dragon, nothing makes sense
Pokémon gen 1 red and blue. Doduo learns fly but doesn’t have wings. Charizard has wings but can’t learn fly.
I know they fixed this in yellow version. But I was so confused as a kid from this.
Let this sink in Lickitung the big pink blob with a massive tongue. Couldn’t learn lick in gen 1.
Lileep/Cradily couldn’t learn Leech Seed
Absol couldn’t learn Crunch
yet Gyarados can learn fire blast thunder and blizzard for some reason
I have this habit where my interest in something runs only as deep as the care the creator put into it. Some art is amazing, some stories are amazing, but pokemon has always run a little shallow.
Maybe he’s right handed only
can someone please tell me which pokemon the soccer van is, i cant think of a pokemon that looks like that!
I forgot the name of the pokemon on the right. But that was my main pokemon i used.
Magic monsters that live inside computers and tiny balls doesn’t adhere to the laws of physics?!
Welcome to Pokemon where the names are made up and the skills dont matter.
I know right? It’s almost as if the Pokédex was written by 10 year olds
WTF is a soccer van?!
The greatest inconsistency in pokemon that needs to be solved before Every other is that the most dragonlike pokemon in the game is not dragon type
His hands are made out of ice,I think it would break its hands if he tries to punch anything, meanwhile gasly is a ghost type and those feckers can do whatever they want as long as they ain’t in front of me
I like the idea that you have pokemon that are essentially dieties that created reality, but some 10 year old kid can send out random bugs they found in the forest to beat the shit out of them and catch them in a poke ball.
Well it wouldn’t be a special skill if it had a ice fist. Just punching makes it a Ice Punch.
If you had no arms and learned how to Ice Punch it is truly a special skill.
Like when they added your mom last gen?
Gyrados is a flying type. Can’t learn fly.
How about that Gyrados is Water/Flying, but can’t learn Fly. And he can learn Dragon moves.
Or how Magnezone is literally levitating with magnet induced anti-gravity… but doesn’t have Levitate and so is still demolished by Ground moves.
OG Pokémon Silver, Typhlosion could learn Thunder Punch lol. I naturally tend to pick Fire starters for the most part (except I did pick Samurott once), but needless to say I ran through Cerulean City gym. Kinda sucks they changed this in Soulsilver but I can see why.
Infernape doesn’t learn fire punch wtf. I know it’s an egg move but fuck egg moves.
There are only 151 pokemon.
Yep, that’s the hill im dying on.
I don’t play terraria but this is pure respect.
F in the chat for both games
Bro I remember seeing this years ago.
Anyone else think Mew was a dumb design for a “legendary”? He was just a fliying fetus lol compare him to Mewtwo who is a cool ass humanoid alien with purple tail who has a look in his face like he can make you explode
Tail glow, learned by an alien made of cables. Not learned by Ampharos, the pokemon famous for its fucking tail orb lighting up.
Ok, but ash is still 10.
There is an interesting explanation for all of this:
Children are the ones populating the Pokedex entry, little 8 and 9 year olds that still dont have a serious grasp on their perception and what they are looking at.
“This pokemon reaches over 1,000,000,000 degrees!” Sounds like my little nephew explaining something…..
That’s because each pokemon has its own units e.g. Pikachu has Pikachu pounds
Maybe theres nuance to pokemon. Maybe it isn’t as simple as “has ice arms so should know this ability”. Or maybe you put too much weight on a game where you are catching monsters in balls.
Lmk
Wouldn’t work on normal kyurem.
We had to wait until Sword/Shield for Shiftry to finally be able to learn Leaf Blade… HIS HANDS ARE LITERALLY LEAVES
😂
