>A pokemon can't use some of it's natural abilities (flying, surfing, cut) unless taught to do so.

>>2832459
What's worse is they don't even try to hide the fact that you can only answer certain questions a certain way. NPCs will occasionally mention that they will only accept one answer and will keep asking until you give it. If you're going to do that, you shouldn't ask the player the question in the first place!

>When there's a scripted event, all you do is stand and watch it unfold instead of interacting with it. Someone summoning a pokegod that might change the world? You're too scared to move until AFTER it's appeared, and THEN you can walk your little pussy ass up to it and fight it.

At the age of 10 an authorized professor will simply hand over a living weapon to a child and tell him to go collect more.
Boy I wonder why no one in the pokemon world has brought up this issue.

>>2833179
You sound surprised. She does nothing all day long! Who else is gonna- OH SHIT!!! WHAT IF THE WHOLE POINT OF YOUR JOURNEY IS TO MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO SUPPORT YOUR MOTHER?

Explain how she supported herself for ten years before the journy. Explain how that theory works at all when you can refuse to send her money.

>>2833452
Why would you need a flying car? A farfetch'd can do the same thing for free and in about three seconds.

>>2833444
Well, when you think about it, A pokemon created the universe, so it makes sense to learn more about them. If you were born into a world rampant with zombies, Math 60 goes out the window...

>Professor gives you starters
>These three pokemon are never seen anywhere else in the entirety of the world
>The starters are forcefully culled so that only approved scientists possess them and are then given to children.

it makes you pedo :(

Your father dies when you're about 9. He left enough to live on for about a year, then it's time for you to man up. It really can only apply to R/B/Y, but I think it makes sense.

DEADFATHERMIND

My favorite fault?

>No one is allergic to Pokemon.

>>2833572
This makes me wonder. From how weve seen the world from our point of view.

Why doesn't everyone have a pokemon?

Are trainers just children chosen by professors, children who apply for the job? Then what about other professions, do regular people need to enlist for a pokemon? How does a normal person traverse the world without their own pokemon? Have all workers in the pokemon field started as trainers?

>When a trainer loses a battle they give money to the winner
Another example of the pokemon world allowing underage gambling.

Also dog fighting.

>>2833648
Gen 3

>>2833724
I think so. A lot of people simply don't cut it as trainers; Some pokemon die in accidents, and their trainers don't have the heart to replace them.

>In G/S/C/HG/SS you go to Kanto and Brock's Pokemon are around lvl. 50 (along with everyone else's). Sucks if you're from Pallet Town and your level 5 Charmander gets assfucked by a Geodude.

>>2833802
Completely forgot about how Norman was making bank with his gym.

>>2833724
trainers aren't chosen by professors, every one else in the world other than your player and your rival just buy a pokeball a toss it until they get lucky and that's how they get their start. what did you think everyone else did? why else do you think safari zone is so popular? cause it's easy to get a pokemon there if you don't already have one.

>>2833802
See
>>2833645

>>2833724
I thought one of the mangas/anime explained it.
Anyone can apply to become a licensed trainer at the age of 10.
You're given your trainer card, then told to gtfo and catch those niggers.

>>2833802
gen 3 you fight your dad as a gym leader 3 towns away. pokemon divorce is ruff

>you can fly on a tiny bird pokemon (like pidgey and taillow) even though you're 4'11 and 98 lbs

>What were the writers thinking when they made Harley

>>2833893
Your parents are still together, it's just that your dad is very likely fucking someone in Petalburg anyways.

>>2833866
Safari zone was also a confusing thing. The fact that there are endangered pokemon. Yet Ditto, can mate with everything under the sun. Why not initiate a mating program and reintroduce Toros, Kangaskhan, Chansey and such through Ditto population. Also, I wonder what restrictions are placed on the Safari Zone to stop someone from running in, catching a bunch of rare pokemon then using the same ditto system to build up a huge stock of rare Safari Zone only pokes.

Do the games ever say you're 10 or is this just based on the anime?

Anime isn't canon, sirs.

>Mightyena laid an EGG!
>mfw

>>2833853
Norman's gym would not only be goverment funded but would also recieve the income from failed trainer battles.

>you talk to somebody to change nicknames
>you name whoever stole the pokemon from elm's lab

>>2833723
but some pokemon are alergic to ppl

>>2833994
It's pretty much accepted canon that 10 year olds are the required age for trainers to start. I think it's stated a few times in the games. B/W is different because the protags are older than the previous ones.

>>2834053
Well when you face the thief he tells you his name but it's in ???s, so you tell the cop the name you heard

>>2834057
But, that's its power supply!

>>2834063
But there are also numerous children who are obviously under 10 that you encounter along the way (think Twins).

>>2834157
>>FBI agents

>>2834105
I didn't understand this. I named him ???. I figured it wouldn't matter because I didn't expect to see him again. I figured he was a random rocket or something.

>>2834157
Probably kids who received pokemon as gifts or caught them themselves, but from your town once you are 10 you are old enough to receive a starter and become an official trainer.

>Grown men stand idle in a forest/mountain/back road somewhere, wait for a ten year old to walk by, battle their magical monsters against them, and then proceed to GIVE YOU THEIR PHONE NUMBER.

Find me one place in the civilized world where that would not get you v&.

>Don't want to continue digging with their loud equipment because they don't want to disturbe the whismer.

>Game Freak is moving onto Generation V without officially releasing the Azure Flute.

>When all your pokemon faint you white out and go to the center
>When you beat other trainers they just stand where they are

>>2834271
ah i always hated that! i atleast wanted to go back to the center myself and heal them.

>The Pokémon League champion, who, at least in the first generation, had defeated the Elite Four just moments before you did, still has all of their pokémon at full health/PP with no status effects.

>>2833124

>Implied Pokeporn
>I lol'd

Naughty mind, naughty mind.

>>2833107
they're all over in B&W

>other trainers don't have revives
I mean really. They're only 1500P

>>2834326
Im guessing after beating the Elite 4 the champ gets his pokemon healed. At least off screen or something.

>>2834341
>Trainers don't switch out pokemon
From what i remember, I havn't seen a trainer switch in or out.

>10 year olds can gamble

>You can trade away your beloved pets for other peoples beloved pets.

>>2834380
Really? That shit happens to me daily.

>>2834401
You can do that now. My miniature schnauser for your welsh corgi. I'll see you in the room.

>>2834401
>Then the other persons beloved pet can refuse to listen to you in the middle of a fight with some super powered monster which could possibly end in your death unless you have a lot of little pieces of metal

>Kahngeskhans are born with a baby already in the pouch

>>2834380
This little faggot on Route 2 HG uses a furret to double team/calm mind and baton pass to a Pidgeot. Fucking pissed me off. In newer generations trainers do switch pokemon.

I'm playing through Ruby again.
I know that Surfing on my Zigzagoon is unrealistic, but I ignore that. He is adorable after all.
How the fuck do I not die when I Dive with my Tentacool, though?
How can it let me breath underwater?

>Do you want to nickname your POKÉMON?

EVERYFUCKINGTIME

>Cant burn down trees, MUST use cut.

>>2834497
that was fixed in B&W, you have limited time underwater now

Every flying type that isn't legendary is also weak to fighting, giving no resistance.

Unless you can name one, in which case, disregard me.

I used to imagine the people being stuck in their house forever, watching you from the window while you strolled on by. They'd scream for you to help them, but you get on your bike and pretend they aren't even there. Mr. Psychic controls most of the people, placing them into a self-induced dream world that seems absolutely real. Some fell for it, others didn't. It makes no difference though, as they are forever trapped betwe-Oh fuck this, now I need to go write a creepypasta.

FUUUUCK YOUUUU NIGGGERRRRRRR

This was a firered/leafGreen Remake that was made in Gen III

you so dumb, fo real

>>2834853
Yes he does! I had to check, I almost posted that...

>Porygon being the only man-made pokemon
>Scientists have yet to construct more
Seriously, imagine the uses a man made pokemon that can be programed or built with any ability in mind. They could construct a pokemon that has every type and can use more than four moves as a ultimate weapon

>>2834835
Use color.

>>2834845
and yet the fucker doesnt learn fly

>>2834724

Sounds like someone needs to make a Game Freak version of that one "Zoolander" .gif.

Sage for irrelevancy.

>>2834853
Actually, he is one of two Pokemon to learn Fly by level up. The other is Salamence. He learns it at Level 65

>>2834907
The same dialogue's in Gen 1.

>>2834917
Oooh, ok...didn't know cause I didn't know any pokemon naturally learned an HM move

>>2834863
You are no fun at all. Does anyone ever tell you that?

The Masterball, a one of a kind Pokeball made by Silph Co. with the ability to capture any pokemon without fail, which cost time, money, and peoples lives, is given away to trainers in a lottery one region over

>>2834929
But then you'd get an abomanation like this

A few do, actually. Goldeen and Seaking learn Waterfall naturally.

>>2834929
Maybe they have, but they're keeping it for themselves.

>>2834963
Well

When a tech designed for a certain aspect of life is created, eventually it will be put into distribution for the public. Why wouldn't they give trainers a chance to get a pokeball?

There is also a theory going about that Ditto is man-made too

>>2834958
Diglett naturally knows Dig.

>>2835112
Isn't it the theory that Ditto was a failed Mew clone? That would be genius if it were true since Mew is the origin of all pokemon and Ditto can become any pokemon
