I'M CAPTAIN KIRK

drayden standing with your head cunningly hidden in a tree at all times isn't going to work, we know it's you

 

the deino evolutionary line is so weird
from a little landbound dragon with one head, to a bigger mostly-landbound dragon with two fully functioning heads, to a big flying dragon with one main head and... two arm heads?
like, it clearly doesn't actually just have three heads. its other two heads are where its front paws used to be, and their eyes aren't drawn in as detailed and it only makes noise from the main head
what is even going on there

*confused biologist tears*

 

i want to know what drayden's mouth looks like under that fucking bizarre-ass beard of his

 

the characters always say things like 'have a good rest' when they put pokemon back in their balls after battles but i'm fairly sure pokeballs hold pokemon in a form of stasis as stored energy, maintaining the status they were in when they went in (except heal balls, which are explicitly designed to heal a pokemon after it's been captured; does that continue when it lives in there? i've honestly never caught anything in a heal ball)
this is seen most clearly with things like james' carnivine, which had been in its pokeball for years since james last visited his sinnoh holiday estate but showed no ill effects, and iris' excadrill which had apparently been deliberately unresponsive since it lost a battle to when the power of protagonist fixed its issues in the series itself, a period of time which must have been some months if not years.

also 'i'd never even seen a textbook' iris did you just not learn to read? the village of dragons is a confusingly anachronistic mess

 

i should dust off some old pokemon ocs

 

iris, the climber, who has scaled sheer cliffs, confronted with a fairly low, easily climbable pile of rocks that the plot requires to be an impassable roadblock: oH nO hOw Do We GeT pAsT tHiS

 

r u srs, ash was the one to be like LET'S CLIMB IT?
sometimes the writing on this show just kind of pees itself

 

unsurprisingly mind you the rocks did a fall down so everyone can be rescued by a man with more eeveelutions than is fair for him to have

 

ash you know what an eevee is, may had one, your memory is appalling

 

that's a very small stoutland considering they're ride-able in sunmoon
Consistency Whomst

 

i have been educated in how to breed Cryogonal
you just intercept Ice Beam with Flamethrower and bam, there's two more of the buggers all of a fucking sudden

 

due to certain tumblr posts about moose diving 20ft underwater i am forced to believe that there could be a moose lurking behind any tree

 

I feel like six is the standard number of pokemon to take on a journey etc because it's the balance between making for more interesting, nuanced battles and what one person can manage most likely on their own. Pokemon are smart but they do need a lot of care, especially when training them

 

thinking about my pokemon pcs again, specifically my Black pc Kitty and N
N drove her absolutely up the wall during the game so of course I ship them

 

the real science is how colress' hair stays like that

 

mysterious fog women: hi, we're just going to take your critically injured friend into the fog with us now

why do none of these people ever explain anything

 

narrator: who are these mysterious women who have taken N? what are they doing with him?
me, watching them mysteriously lower him into a mysterious pool of mysterious water, mysteriously: drowning him? please say it's drowning him

 

btw ladies, next time cast your fog portal a bit narrower, you invited the rocket trio and several team plasma grunts into your forest this time and i'm sure that's going to backfire on you eventually
