Why does Hitmonchans trainer offer to train Primeape to become a real P1
champ when Primeape already is a champ?
Submitted by Moe_Magoo@bc.sympatico.ca
Possible answer: Anthony was jealous of Primeape's victory and wanted to give it the poor training that his own Pokemon had received so that next time, his Hitmonchan would win. ^_^.
How did AJ get Sandshrew to learn fissure? If he hadn't gotten any badges yet, that means
he never got the TM for fissure.
Submitted by BrockPFFA@aol.com
Possible answer: Ehh, but this is the show that has Ekans with Bind attack, and Pikachu with Thunderbolt. ^_^.
Why aren't there any TM's in the show?
Submitted by BrockPFFA@aol.com
Possible answer: Ash can only just handle fighting with his Pokemon, I don't think he could cope with TMs. ^_^.
If you catch Articuno in the Seafoam islands, then look through a pair of binoculars in a look
out station, it'll still be there?
Submitted by BrockPFFA@aol.com
Possible answer: Your Articuno has escaped. Or, there are two of them. ^_^.
Where'd Professor Oak get Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle in the game if you can't find
them anywhere else?
Submitted by BrockPFFA@aol.com
Possible answer: Maybe there were more Pokemon to be found at the time Oak was a trainer.
And, if nobody in the episode knew what Dragonite was, why in the world didn't Ash ask
Dexter?! It's like he only uses his Pokédex on Pokémon everybody else in the show has
heard of!
Submitted by sierrapikachu7@yahoo.com
Possible answer: Knowing the Pokedex, probably it would've just said "there is no data" as usual. ^_^.
In the show, why does Koffing always smile even the times when he gets his butt kicked?
Submitted by psychosonic27@yahoo.com
Possible answer: Koffing is a ball of gas and does not feel pain. Or else, it's just so stupid it doesn't realise it's hurt. ^_^.
The burgulars in the Cinnabar Gym say that they came to this gym and became straight. If
they're straight, WHY DO THEY STILL LOOK LIKE BURGULARS WHEN YOU FIGHT
THEM?!?!?!?
Submitted by JannB51@aol.com
Possible answer: They haven't really gone straight, they just don't want to draw attention to themselves. ^_^.
Why do Gary and Elite 4 make themselves so powerful sounding? Are they trying to scare
you
Submitted by JannB51@aol.com
Possible answer: Nah, they're just full of themselves. ^_^.
In the episode where Bulbasaur nearly evolves, Team Rocket sucks up a whole lot of Ivysaur with a big vacuum. What I want to know is, why wasn't Bulbasaur sucked up? Was it somehow immune just because it wasn't an Ivysaur? I mean, Bulbasaur's smaller than Ivysaur so you'd think it'd be sucked up more easily...
Possible answer: Bulbasaur has become resistant to vacuums after dealing with Team Rocket so much.
How did Pikachu disarm the "electric bomb" in hardly any time?
Does it even know how to do it? Or was the bomb just faulty and Pikachu
managed to fix it by the end of the show?
Submitted by peeshy@hotmail.com
Possible answer: Being a thunder Pokemon, Pikachu is a genius at electronics. ^_^.
Possible answer #2: The alternative for Pikachu disarming it would be for Ash to, and Ash being capable of dismembering a bomb is even less plausible than Pikachu doing it. *grins*
In "Pokemon Shipwreck", shouldn't Ash, Brock, Misty, Jessie, James & Meowth
all have died due to the intense pressure deep in the ocean, crushing all
windows and letting the water in?
Submitted by peeshy@hotmail.com
Possible answer: Shhh! We're not supposed to observe logic! ^_^.
How did Ash manage to keep his hat on in the whirlpool after the Gyarados
did Dragon Rage?
Submitted by peeshy@hotmail.com
Possible answer: The same way everyone's hair was perfectly intact after crashing on the island. Anime laws of physics. ^_^.
Hey, remember the episode when Metapod evolved into Butterfree? When Ash used
Butterfree's Sleep powder to knock out all the Weedle and Beedrill, why
didn't he capture one for himself? Did he just leave all that Beedril and
Weedle lying around?
Submitted by Squirlo@aol.com
Possible answer: Knowing Ash, probably.
If Koffing only evolve into Weezing by fusing together 'over many years', how did James' evolve so fast?
Possible answer: Because James is such a coool trainer. ^_^.
In the game, Gary beats all the gym leaders just before you do. All very well and good, but I'd like to know just how he manages to beat you into Cinnabar Gym! The door's locked and the key is hidden deep inside the burnt out mansion!
Possible answer: Gary's the one who hid the key in the first place, because he's mean and wants you to have trouble getting to Pokemon League. ^_^.
If Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle are the only Pokemon Professor Oak has left from his days of training Pokemon, then why are they only at L5?
Possible answer: Because he wasn't a very good trainer. ^_^.
Possible answer from peeshy@hotmail.com: Perhaps he knew he was going to start up a thing for letting aged 10 kids become pokemon trainers and purposely caught some pokemon and left it at level 5.
Why don't the laws of Pokemon battling apply to your opponents? Gary's Blastoise used Blizzard about 8 times, but that attack has a pp of 5! I feel very cheated!
Possible answer: Nintendo has a sadistic sense of humour. I think this works on the same principle as Streetfighter games. (And other games, but this is where I noticed it.) There are attacks where you have to hold down buttons for 2 seconds, but your opponent, the computer, can execute them with no such time delays. *grinds teeth*
If Mew was
discovered before Mewtwo howcome Mew isn't 150 and Mewtwo 151?
Submitted by DavidKiv@aol.com
Possible answer: If Mew was the only Pokemon of its kind in the world, and then it was evolved through genetic engineering, that'd mean Mew doesn't exist any more, only Mewtwo...
What does self destruct have 5 power points if you can only use it once? when you use it, it
makes your pkmn faint. You can't use it again unless you go to a pokecenter and heal your pkmn
and then the power points are back up to 5. Why? why doesn't self destruct just have 1 pp? You
never get to use the other 4 anyway!!
Submitted by lavender_town@yahoo.com
Possible answer: You could use revive or something like that.
And speaking of cars, why is Ash
always wondering why Gary is always ahead? I mean, if you were to
have a race with your opponent riding a sportscar and you walking,
who would win?"
Submitted by guyminal@hotmail.com
Possible answer: Ash is an idiot. ^_^.
In 'The Battling Eevee Brothers', *what* was the attack that Eevee used against Team Rocket? Mikey ordered it to do takedown-rage-tackle attack. ?? What's more, how could Eevee send ALL of Team Rocket flying? I'd understand it sending one of them flying, but how could it hit all of them at once?
Possible answer: They needed some way to stop the all-powerful, all-cool ARBOK from winning and thus having the bad guys come out on top, so they did what they always do and sent TR packing over the horizon...
When you are in a trainer battle while using surf, you can make your pkmn use dig. But that doesn't make sense, what is your pkmn going to dig into,
water? That's not dig, its more like dive...
Submitted by lavender_town@yahoo.com
Possible answer: Yeah, and wouldn't a ground Pokemon LOSE their HP instead of causing their enemy to lose some, if they're going into water, their weakness? (Oh hang on, that wasn't an answer, was it. ^_^;;)
When you win a match with Meowth in the game (and use payday) it says you 'picked up ___ money' but when you're in the middle of the ocean and you win it says the same thing.... How can you 'pick up' money in the ocean? It doesn't float - it's too heavy isn't it?
Submitted by jer.ron.s@worldnet.att.net
Possible answer: Ash might like diving. Maybe your Pokemon with 'dig' attack can get it for you. *grins*
At one point in the game, Gary comes up to you and boasts "I already caught 40 kinds, pal! " Then he goes ahead and battles you using four Pokémon. Where did the other 36 go? You can use 6 Pokemon at a time you know, mate!
Possible answer: Gary is full of himself and has only caught 4 Pokemon. ^_^.
On the 'Battle on the ST.Anne' James dresses like the teenage girl and if
it wasn't for the voice you wouldn't know it was James! He has the greatest
legs I've ever seen on a guy! I mean, HEY! Have you ever seen a guy with legs
like that?
Submitted by jer.ron.s@worldnet.att.net
Possible answer: You know, I think James shaves his legs. Beyond that, I have no idea. *big sweatdrop*
What in the world is Team Rocket up
to? Sure, they're trying to catch rare and powerful pokemon, but..... why?
What's the motive behind it? Are they trying to sell them on the black
market? Are they trying to create an army to take over the world? What?
Submitted by Patches365@aol.com
Possible answer: Giovanni is trying to get enough money to buy a truckload of Strepsils. (Throat lozenges. ^_^.)
After Ash sets Butterfree free, he catches Primeape which takes its place. Then he leaves Primeape, but doesn't replace it. This means Ash is only carrying five Pokemon around... why doesn't he take Krabby with him or something?
Possible answer from peeshy@hotmail.com: Maybe he does this because he wants to check out his new pokemon for a bit for in the future, knowing that the 7th pokemon will go straight to professor oak.
In the first episode, four kids set off from Pallet Town to become Pokemon trainers. Ash is one of them. When he gets to Professor Oak, Oak says he's been expecting him. But all of Oak's Pokemon are gone when Ash arrives, and he says it's because "Ash wasn't on time and missed out". What the heck is that? If Oak knows that he has to provide four people with Pokemon, why does the last person to arrive miss out?
Possible answer: This is the same person who called the Viridian City Pokemon Centre and got Ash on the line, and then was surprised when Ash told him he had made it to Viridian. ^_^;;
Why is it that the hospital (in A Chansey Operation) had only one employee? And since he was about to go off-duty, WHAT was going to happen to all the sick patients?
Possible answer: I guess they'd have just had to hope for the best and call their lawyers. *grins*
How did Ash and his Primeape win the P1 Championship without any training whatsoever?
Possible answer: Team Rocket was in charge of the opponent. 'Nuff said.
Possible answer by peeshy@hotmail.com: Well, Primeape was a really powerful pokemon. He had to rely on other opponents to beat the strong ones so I guess it was a bit of luck, seeing that primeape didn't have to battle hitmonchan.
