5 Hilarious "Pokemon Logic" in Main Game

This is a point of contention among many Pokemon trainers out there, and Charizard is not the only example. There are also Gyarados and Aerodactyl, who both really look like dragons, but instead are water/flying, rock/flying and of course Charizard is flying/fire. It is believed that the primary reason for these three dragon-looking Pokemon not being of that type is so that the Generation One dragon type would have just three Pokemon, Dratini, Dragonair, and of course (flying/dragon) Dragonite. Of course, among the newer generations beyond that original 150, the creators have become far more liberal with their assignment of the dragon type.

This is another beautiful example of “Pokemon logic.” There are so many water-type Pokemon in the game and whether you fish for them or just encounter them while already riding another Pokemon across the waves, you will need to use HM03 “surf” to teach them how to swim. Perhaps that machine is necessary to add some more challenge to the game, and maybe the move actually teaches Pokemon how to balance people on it’s back while swimming, but whatever the answer, it is kind of ridiculous that a water Pokemon can’t swim without special training.

Here is a little bit of Pokemon logic along with a simple question of economics. Of course, this is somewhat inaccurate, given that the price for various Poke Balls ranges from 200 Pokemon Dollars to over a thousand, and the price for the bicycle was 1,000,000 in generations I through III. Still, the point stands.

There is clearly a monopoly on bicycle production in these various regions, and something is severely hampering the free market which would drive prices down due to competition. The balls used to catch Pokemon clearly require a ridiculous amount of technical skill to create, but somehow the prices are minimal, while a relatively simple bicycle is hundreds of times the price.

We have to wonder: what the heck was Professor Oak doing all that time he was studyingPokemon? Obviously he is just the first in a long line of professors who have decades of “experience” studying these creatures, but still seem to have done very little in the way of actual practical data gathering.

Of course, the empty Pokedex is necessary to make us play through the game, but this is just another hilarious example of questionable logic. It has been driving us crazy for years. Professors Oak, Elm, and all the rest have very little credibility in our eyes, given these empty Pokedex they have been handing out for the last twenty year.

The fact that the move “confusion,” and a couple of other moves can cause a Pokemon to become confused and be completely hapless for a few turns is incredibly irritating. Other status conditions such as paralysis and sleep may be a serious problem in the middle of a battle, but confusion is one of the ones that can actually cause damage to an affected Pokemon on every turn. Our question is: why? How does one get so confused that they actually hurt themselves? Are these confused Pokemon just walking into nearby walls? Are they hitting their heads against the ground, or are they just, as this meme implies, just taking shots at themselves?
