Things in Pokemon games I'll never understand

That phone that freaking evil phone.  I actually wish they had an option to take off trainers from the list on it or at least turn the phone off you can't walk 5 steps without a call and it takes forever to stop ringing so the noise alone drives you insane.

Joey : My ---
Trainer : Let me guess your Rattata?
Joey : Howed you know man?
Trainer : This is the 57th time!
Joey : But it's so awesome. 
Trainer : 

I seriously wish the phone could be turned off though, if I ever start a new game I'm not adding any trainers to my phone.

That's almost as bad as a ditto that likes to run or an unown that does.

Rawr, I nom your ear!

My friend hated it when I used that move on wifi with Ninetales, we had Ninetales VS Arcanine battles and I'd have a move that causes paralyze and then the move attract, he finally remedied that by making sure the Arcanine was the same gender the next battles. 

(And I can't believe I'm saying this but,   awwww.  )

Have you ever seen puppies bite each other's ears like that? It's so d'awwww.

One of the other reasons why that Miltank was so hard, even a ghastly would get caught by Attract 
(also the adorableness of picture is too high))


Bubble attack  how is that dangerous and the easiest way to take down Brocks onix

No but I think I've seen kittens nom each others tails and ears which is also pretty cute.

That is actually one o my stratiegies!
I send Delcatty, do attract and do thunder. Since my Pokemon has Neutralize as its ability, the thunder will be a normal attack, will have a stab((same element than Pokemon)) on it and the object that I give Delcatty is a life orb so it's a OHKO easy or a 2 shot. Only problem is ghost type since its imune to all its attack becaus rid its ability. But then, I send Miltank with subtitute and focus punch. ((ability allow me to hit ghost type with normal attack))

The only downside to paralyze and attract is it's a gamble because you won't know what gender the pokemon is until the battle starts and theres only a chance that both will even activate or one or the other.

Where does the water come from when Blastoise uses Hydro pump? 

[Darkangel]

Where does the water come from when Blastoise uses Hydro pump? 

If you mean how does it get the water, I don't know....

[Chishio Kunrin]

Where does the water come from when Blastoise uses Hydro pump? 

Maybe it collects moisture in the air? Or it stores a lot of the water it ingests.

[Nala Valor]

Maybe it's not real water..

I just learned why Umbreon is named Umbreon!

"When there's a solar eclipse, it's possible to see the sun behind the moon, making a 'ring' around the moon. But to see it, you must be in a special spot on the Earth called the 'Umbra'. Thus, Umbreon's name represents the ring around the moon, and the rings on its body."

There is something weird with the name that I realised...
Like a few of you know, the name Pokemon comes from Pocket Monsters... But each time a Japenese says it, it sound like "poketomonstar" where does the O come from? So weird...

[Chishio Kunrin]

They can't say certain consonant clusters, so they put a vowel in there to make it easier. It's kinda like how the Japanese language doesn't support th, so they say s or z instead. It also doesn't support l, so they say r instead, hence the stereotypical "herro".


How come some pokemon start out looking a certain way, and then by their final evolution, they look completely different? Seriously, how does Dratini go from being a pretty blue serpent dragon thing, and then turn into a fat yellow dragon with noodle horns?

And how does Mareep start out an adorable puff of cute sheepness, turn into Flaaffy, an adorable poodle sheep, and then turn into... some kind of ugly not-sheep thing?

*Warning about rant*
Almost right, with the Japanese, though, it's because they do not use consonants like we do, actually they use more the sounds, but that for later.
Simply put, they do not have consonants by themselves, there have to be a vowel after a consonant, only exception is 'N'.
It's with the romanji, the 'transcribed' version of their alphabets, that is like that, so the closest thing to Pocket Monster they have is: "Poketo Monsutaru" but the 'U' are not said as clearly, but they are there when one listen closely to their way of saying it. *rant* *rant*

Oh. Like in Spanish. I always found it weird during Spanish classes that there are some similarities between Spanish and Japanese. Some. Just some.
