Administrators Amethyst Posted June 7, 2010 Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2010 Can some explain to me why all the Pokemaniacs like Slowpoke so much? Is there logic here? Somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stars Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 It's like how Granbull is considered cute according to its Dex entry. The world may never know. I dunno. Like Jody once said about Koffing, it always looks happy, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Amethyst Posted June 11, 2010 Author Administrators Share Posted June 11, 2010 New Why: Why is Koga's Gym full of Drowzee, Hypno and Kadabra, when there were about over 9000 poison types to pick from in the first generation?

NoGoodBoyo Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 First: Because Slowpokes eventually evolve into Slowkings and know Amnesia. I believe that's why. Second: Because it's also a gym of illusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 New Why: Why is Ash still 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Amethyst Posted February 26, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2011 He's actually 11. He had a birthday just before the 3rd movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZKnight Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 As of the new serious in BW001: [quote]According to the narration at the beginning of the episode, Ash is [i]still [/i]ten years old (despite the fact the anime has been airing for over thirteen years at this point).[/quote] So apparently Ash has somehow managed to travel through 4 regions, defeat all their Gym Leaders, compete in each of their League Tournaments, and countless sidequests in less than a year. Apparently Ash moves fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Amethyst Posted February 26, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2011 But the Pichu brothers short took place on the anniversary of the day Ash and Pikachu met... That was the whole point of the characters' absence. And that day is the same as his birthday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ikaru Posted February 26, 2011 Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2011 Then the narration Knight speaks of must have forgotten that detail... EDIT: Still, he should be older than that, 11 or 10 or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZKnight Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 One of two things could have happened: A: They do not take into account the movies / the mini-movies B: The original dialogue did not mention that and it was only in the English dub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N8theGr8 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 My answer: Because if Ash ever aged, he might grow a personality with it, which Nin10D'oh obviously wants to avoid. Here's one I'm wondering: In R/B/FR/LG, why the hell do you attack that scientist for the fossils that he claimed first? ...Isn't that a little brutal?

Administrators Amethyst Posted March 2, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2011 Actually, I think he attacks you. I mean, sure he laid them in the way of the exit, silly guy, so you had to approach them in order to leave Mt. Moon- but see, he saw it as you trying to steal them, so he jumped you in defense. After you whoop him into calmness, he gives you one as an apology. ...That's how I saw it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZKnight Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The guy attacks you when you walk in front of him, so you don't even get a chance to touch the fossils. The fossils fully come into view the instant he attacks you, so you don't even do anything. He charges and shouts, "Hey, stop! I found these fossils! They're both mine!" Again, you barely even see the fossils when he says this. If you have never played the game before odds are you might not have noticed the fossils or if you did realized they were fossils. Like Ame said, once you whoop his ass he calms down a bit. "We'll each take a fossil! No being greedy!" Except for the fact that we probably would not have taken his fossils had the jerk not attacked us and then after we defend ourselves he hands one over like a coward.

Maelstrom Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Bitch shoulda just picked it them up and put them in his bag ealier. Like when he supposedly found them. >> Foureyes was studying a wall with his terrible eyesight and probably noticed the fossils when he turned and heard you coming. And then got greedy. Thinking back on it, if that really happened to me, I would have taken both of em after he attacked me like the jealous maniac he is. /ragefornoreason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZKnight Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Why is Psychic weak against Bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Amethyst Posted March 5, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted March 5, 2011 The general consensus is that Psychic is weak to common fears, disrupting the mind. Fear of dark, fear of ghosts, fear of insects fits right in. [s]I mean, look at me[/s] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godot Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 that makes a shit ton of sense... kinda cool for pointing that out ame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZKnight Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Huh, I'd never looked at it that way before. To me the Dark and Ghost weaknesses always made sense to me, maybe because along with Psychic they all seem supernatural and mystic. But Bug never fit into that. Looking at it as common fears that go against logic and mental strength is really clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ikaru Posted March 5, 2011 Administrators Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yep, that was one of my favorite fun facts about Pokemon; I figured it out sometime last year... Another fun fact is the reason for the introduction of the Steel/Dark types. (Because Psychic was too OP in gen I, and Fighting was terrible, so they had to balance it out.) Better question: Why does Bug beat Dark? ._. My thoughts: It had to be a useful type somehow... I really can't come up with anything. In terms of real logic, I guess, like... They're simple-minded creatures immune to Dark's trickery and deceit? I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N8theGr8 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 @Ikaru's old post Many species of bug are nocturnal, so they appreciate the dark rather than fear it. Thus, DARKNESS POWAAAAAH. New: Why the [i]fuck[/i] is Sandshrew/Sandslash the Mouse Pokémon? We already have 3028475 Mouse PKMN and they're not even mice. ._. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
