Why is Mewtwo number 150 but Mew, the original, is 151? Hell, if Mewtwo was the actual child of Mew and she (despite being genderless, apparently they caught a female Mew) therefore gave birth to him, does this been there's a breeding population of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon?

You got some 'splaining to do, Pogeymans. Did movie Lugia have himself a one-night stand or what?

Also apparently Latios and Latias are the Nidorans of the Legendary Pokémon and are mentioned to be in herds, but they can't breed in the game.

Also why is Cresselia given a set gender of female, but her counterpart, Darkrai, is genderless yet is featured as masculine in the anime/Mystery Dungeon game? 🤔

And do Pokémon come from space or just some species? Where did Pokémon even come from? Are humans Pokémon, too?

And how did Youngster Joey get himself a Rattata that's in the top percentage of all Rattata? What's his story?

I do like it when they describe how they hunt because they get a little creative now and then. That and I'm fond of nature shows. Harsh way to go though
Ultra Moon entry for Araquanid said:
It has a habit of storing things it values in its water bubble. If its Trainer doesn't watch out, Araquanid will try to put them in its bubble!

I wonder if anyone actually drowned because their lil Araquanid just love them SO much. Thinking about it is a little horrific on a couple of levels

Agreed with all of this. Although for the first thing, I think the anime actually does say that legendary pokemon have genders and babies. In the games, its just another example of a poorly conceived setup and lore on Gamefreak's part.

Where do people poop in the pokemon universe? I have yet to see a toilet in any of the games.

Humans in the pokemon world always brag about living in harmony with pokemon and nature, so they probably all shit in the grass like dirty hippies.

If poops are Grimers does this mean people just poop super poison?

What about that fertilizer in Ruby and Sapphire? If you throw that in water does it become a Grimer? And if you put pokemon poop in a trash bag does it become that garbage bag pokemon from gen 5? 🤔

remember the time where there were "no differences to distinguish the two (humans and pokemon)" meaning that humans boning pokemon was totally actual canon?

I mean that's like saying that when humans were apes them fucking other monkeys was beastiality. Ape y ape. Pokehuman y pokehuman.

Maybe he's the trio master of those weird musketeer pokemon who are supposed to be swordsmen despite not having swords.

Also this new bird looks straight up Dark Souls.

I'm not even interested in Pokemon anymore but this little fucker looks like a champ. Its like a little edgy knight.

How can he be the trio master if there's already 3+a rookie 4th tho? Also the bird and sheep alone will probably make me buy it despite the fact that I don't want it at all.

Goddammit, I managed to stay pretty much blind on Sword and Shield, but this made me check. That's a Dark Souls boss, what the hell Game freak?

Hey at least it's better than the shieldface one. Maybe after pokemon rips off dark souls, dark souls will rip off pokemon and we'll get a shield dog boss in that.

Fine, then he's a Quartet Master. Also isn't that goofy unicorn just a rookie/apprentice rather than an official member of the group or something?

I haven't been interested in pokemon since Black and White, but that little knight crow is something I really wish I could've had back then. Just look at that little cheeky fucker.

And that turtle thing looks pretty great too, almost like a gen 1 or gen 3 design. I just wish its head wasn't so square.
