RE: Pokemon Plotholes!

IT'S MAGIC! Duh.

And it makes more sense than flooding the whole stage with water just to see them swim. It really does.

This isn't really a plot hole, but do you think they eat Pokemon? Like, grill up some Miltank burgers? Or land and gut a Magikarp? This has been bothering me, somewhat.

Magikarp. Everything is made from Magikarp. (Since no one cares about it.) Magikarp sticks, Magikarp filets, Magikarp n' chips...Mmmm...

Another thing that always bothered me, When you beat the Pokemon League,...shouldn't YOU become the Champion? Why does nothing change!? Heck, I'd sit there and battle challengers. :D

Challenger Bob sent out Magikarp! (lv.1)

On Platinum, you see the Legendary Mice and Dialga and Palkia.
For some reason, it only marks Dialga and Palkia as "seen" on your PokeDex, even though you are in close contact with the Mice more times.
 
RE: Pokemon Plotholes!

Have you noticed how ash always stop legendaries from destroying the world or something and yet he never gets any special treatmentor anything. The never talk about it again either. Its like what happens in pokemon movies STAY on pokemon movies.

1. Not once do you EVER HAVE to eat, or use the bathroom. EVER. I'm sure our character does all sorts of stuff when we turn our game off it would be really hypocrite for the character to do all those things and then go standing on the exact same spot it was when you turned your game off
2. You're ten and your mom lets you go across the country alone? You have your pokemon first!yeah, a lv. 5 pokemon that is
3. You need to be told how to run? no, how to use the shoes then again, you use the shoes for running, and that you need to be telled how to use shoes???
4. The inner-time system of the game is awkward, You save in the morning, come back at night, and the game is dark already! [So you have been standing for 12 hours?

standing can be quite entertaining

just as entertaining as doing nothing
 
RE: Pokemon Plotholes!

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but in the games, other people (Cynthia, your rival) always have the ability to automatically heal all your pokemon. Why can't you do that?

Also, what's going on with cynthia/lance when they're not in the pokemon league. Would somebody beat the elite four only to find the message

"Thank you, Ash, but your Champion is in another dimension!"

Last but not least, in G/S/C, why is Kanto completely destroyed? I mean, Viridian forest has been cut down, and Cinnibar Island has been destroyed by a volcano. What happened?

i was too young to read english during gold/silver, so i don't know about lance, but cynthia travels around, as you can see when she comes by in the game

where did you get THAT infromation?

RE: Pokemon Plotholes!

Well, that's what Kanto looks like, at least. I know it was really condensed to make it fit on the cartridge, but looking at the place really brings up some questions if you have an overactive imagination (or a lot of free time...).
 
RE: Pokemon Plotholes!

In G/S/C, the Viridian Forest is quite demolished. There remains only small plants, if I remember correctly.

There.
 
RE: Pokemon Plotholes!

How come the Pokémon have the magical poer to not forget HMs? They're no different than other moves. You can just use them in the field.
 
RE: Pokemon Plotholes!

It's because you have to be able to use them to get back as well. Imagine going up a waterfall, deleting the HM Move, and being stuck up there for the rest of the game.
That's really the only reason.
 
RE: Pokemon Plotholes!

Here is just a stupid flaw in Platinum. The gym leaders are in order on the case from Diamond and Pearl. Therefore Fantina is shown as the 5th instead of the 3rd.
 
RE: Pokemon Plotholes!

Fantina is still the 5th Gym Leader. You just have to beat her before the 3rd and 4th. Also, in many other games (including D/P, iirc), you can choose which order to beat some of the Gyms in.
 
RE: Pokemon Plotholes!

Sorry if I'm going off-topic, but I really wanted to say something here. I read somewhere about an Arceus vs. Mew thing, and the way I see it is:

At first, only Arceus existed. He created Dialga and Palkia to defend the dimensions of time and space, and I'm not sure why Giratina... He created Mew to be a worthy opponent to him, and put in Mew the D.N.A. of all Pokemon. And as for how he put the man-made Pokemon's DNA in mew is simple. He asked Dialga to go into the future and extract DNA from them. And that's all of what I think about the matter.
 
RE: Pokemon Plotholes!

I like how there are no restrooms, porta-potties, etc. (Unless I am mistaken...)
