I know that I'm not the only one that has noticed that most pokemon make no sense. Take diglett for example, where is the rest of it's body, or does it just cut off and have a flat bottom half, and what happens when it gets sent out of it's pokeball, does it just magically appear in the dirt. I'm rambling again, come here to discuss all the flaws with how pokemon were designed, from where they get there equipment to there anatomy.

It's not of our world. Do not question Pokemon.

But still, you must have some questions about them. Me and a couple of my friends spent like half an hour to an hour just discussing this.

Pokemon games are for kid's so I don't think they really care if they're unrealistic, just if they're cool or powerful or something like that.

Something tells me that Pokemon isn't supposed to be realistic.

The best hint is how nobody's mom lets them venture out into the big bad world at the age of 10.

Yeah but older people still like it, and it is a bit fun picking out the things that make very little to no sense.

Your basically questioning the physics of a game about magical creatures who we train to fight each other. Think of it like the movie Inception, they made up whatever rules they wanted because there is no actual science behind going into peoples dreams. Beside for half the stuff Japan produces not making any sense, game developers can make up whatever they want. If you want to question games that make no sense, question FPS games. You can shoot at a wall forever, but it doesn't break. You have unrealistically large clips. If you want to question a game, don't question one about something unrealistic.

Many adults also enjoy it.

The laws of physics don't have to apply to things that are imaginary.

But still, it's kinda fun thinking about the mechanics behind some of these pokemon.

Not really, I tend not to question things that were never meant to make sense.

A wizard did it. No matter what your question is, that is the answer.

To each there own, some of the conclusions you come up with while thinking about this are usually pretty amusing.

I suppose it can be if your into it enough. I know I like to think of those sorts of things with works of fiction I get into. Or even invent my own explanations if the fiction doesn't provide one.

Yeah that's what we were doing, and it kept us entertained.
