18 and 19 is why I like Violet, they _technically_ know all learned Moves, but can only prepare 4 at a time, like 5th edition Wizards and their Spells.

About self-destructing Moves, I believe in the Japanese versions of Pokemon, that the Move "Self-destruct" has in it's name, context of suicide bombing, which makes the Move even MORE makes no sense that you can get your Pokemon revived from Fainted status when they're literally suicide bombing themselves

Fainting and still being able to use HM moves is explained. Fainting means it can't battle anymore. Doesn't have the will to. However, it can still move around and help you out. It just doesn't have the strength to battle anymore. For catching fainted pokemon, the pokemon is supposed to choose whether or not it wants to go with you or not. If its knocked out, it can't make that decision

I can vouch for the ghastly using sucker punch considering how the move looks it kinda looks like it uses a shadow figment of itself to eggxecute the move (had to pun there 🤣)

as a matter of fact... the fact that even the crooks have to give you money from losing IS that deeply ingrained in the society of the Pokemon world. it's explained quite well in practice during Pokemon Legends: Arceus, as when you beat the Miss Fortunes, they'll all drop Nuggets, which as any Pokemon fan is aware, can be sold for quite a nice sum, and as we know, Pokemon battles weren't a huge thing during this time period, and any other Trainer battles in the game DON'T pay out, so we can assume that the practice started with the Miss Fortunes and their Nuggets.

The trainer money you get is probably digitally and on some kind of debit card. You need to connect your bank account to your oppenent, your pokeballs are connected to it and it can register you lost with fainted pokemon.

As if fainted Pokemon using HM moves wasn't weird enough, you can fly on Pokemon such as Pidgey and Zubat which are smaller than the player. You should have put both of those things together.

How come when you heal your Pokémon in the Pokémon center after having them beat up badly, they say "hope to see you again", That implies that you want me to need to come here, do they secretly wish your Pokémon dies?

Pokeballs are also confusing. In Pokémon Platinum, the professor hands you a PokeBall which has a button in the middle of it, which he asks you to press on using the touch screen, which raises a lot of questions. Most of the questions are stuff like: what if you're walking around in the grass and trip on a rock or something? Do all of your pokemon just release and get out of their pokeballs? Or if the button is hard to press and you need a lot of force to press it, which would solve the tripping issue, but then what would happen if you encounter a wild Pokemon which attacks you, and then the PokeBall you threw on the ground just doesn't click open? Do you just get mauled by the wild Pokemon or something? And what about trainer battles? What if you get challenged and you just can't get your main pokemon out of it's PokeBall?

WTF?! number 18:yeah,I never understood why pokemon have to forget moves,that's like saying you have to forget how to cook to learn how to ride a bike number 19:I've also questioned this for years,plus pokemon learn things naturally even if they're not able to learn certain moves,but I still question why they need to forget a move and why it's only 4

2:36 To anwser this question: PLOT ARMOR

The fence maze in the original Red/Blue/Yellow had signs talking about a fence worker and a game/challenge for some... think it may have been deleted content? Cause I read all the signs many years ago and got a small laugh thinking back on it.

“Just have a fire type burn the thing.” Pretty sure that’s Arson

9:21... While you could say "oh well the pokemon isn't walking, you are, so your counter point is invalid" to that I can say "they are swaying on a ball as such they are being moved while you move so think of them like being on a boat when you move".... With that out of the way you can not tell me that never in your life have you been sick where if you remain motionless in one position you can feel okish but the second you start moving you feel queasy or in pain AF and need to stop moving or you will feel miserable. Think of poison like you just ate some bad food that is upsetting your stomach, when you are moving you feel nauseous and in pain but when you curl up in a ball and stop moving the pain and nausea subsides until you start moving again. So while all the others don't make sense, that poison one is one that can make sense depending on how you view the poison.

Wooper uses its tail for punching moves Shroomish uses its flaps Gastly’s gas can form the shape of a fist

Poison logics in game somewhat follows irl as irl when you move it spreads quicker compare to not moving

he did his best to not mention how a pokemon like snorlax can fit in a small pokeball

Now you don't need any Pokemon to Fly.

16 makes sense due to their ability to shrink which is how they fit inside Pokeballs, in Scarlet and Violet, you see how Titan Pokemon shrinks when you defeat them which stands to reason, Pokemon shrink when fainted so nothing, in theory should find them so they can recover and return to their normal size and carry on with their life and if they shrink to a very microscopic size, how would you be able to throw a Pokeball at a Pokemon you literally can't see?

Also just assumed ghastly transforms into a ghost fist lol

TMs work like White Snake's stand disks.

5:08 its a turboflex backpack

Most of these have explanations, if you actually pay attention to all of the content and not just the games. Some simple things that explain a lot of these: There are laws governing the Pokemon world, how battles work, etc, and clearly evil teams follow them too otherwise they would just have several Pokemon out attacking trainers all of the time instead of even having proper battles. There's a notable difference between normal actions and attacks. This is made most evident in the Pokemon Origins series, where Red's Charmander bites another Pokemon instead of using the attack Bite. The details of these differences aren't completely clear, but it's also why Pokemon like Rhyhorn didn't go extinct because of some rain. Some of the elements pointed out are specific to the games and are a matter of game limitations and such. They are not exactly as they seem, that's just the game's way of depicting how it actually is. And specifically for the last one, if you play any of the more recent games, that hasn't been a thing for a while. I want to say ever since gen 6, X and Y, your Pokemon have stopped taking damage from Poison in the overworld...

My head canon for #9 is that the main character is essentially a child prodigy with insane Pokemon training abilities. Like, imagine you get 250 exp for defeating a Pokemon, but the average person would only get 1. What might take someone else years and decades of dedicated work to accomplish, you can do in weeks/months. Much the same way that some people are just incredible at piano. It might take you or me years to master the most difficult pieces, but some six year old can play them by ear after hearing them once. You clearly aren't the only one that is so talented at raising Pokemon, your rival usually matches your pace, and you occasionally find gym leaders or E4 members that are children as well, but the fact that people frequently remark on your bond with your Pokemon and how they quickly gain so much power has me believing you have some very above average abilities within that universe.

The Last One makes sence because if you move the poison spreads in your body

I saw it in the show once, TMs are put into a little macbook-like device that educates the Pokémon in a move. I don't remember for sure which generation I saw it, but I know it was Ash teaching Pikachu, and I believe it was Iron Tail. So maybe gen 4? As for only knowing four moves at a time: I assume it's a legal thing. The Pokémon may not "forget" per se (even though those are the words chosen); just maybe it's a league rule that you can only use 4 different moves at a time, and have to register what moves you're using? I imagine Pokémon battling would be a lot more chaotic and dangerous if Pokémon could pull any move they'd ever learned- especially Pokémon with good move spreads, like Normal types.

There are many different things in video games that are the way they are because of certain mechanics and to keep players from soft locking themselves or otherwise keeping them from not being able to continue to play the game. The glitches don't count for a valid reason why certain things work the way they do. As for the way that certain things like how certain Pokemon have certain pokepowers that don't make sense or they don't have one that makes sense is mostly dealing with a mechanics problem. Technically all Pokemon can learn all moves and can have all pokepowers at the same time it's simply an issue of game mechanics. As for the Pokemon fitting into a space that doesn't make sense there are one of three explanations either the building is just that big, or the Pokemon involved are not as large as the pokedex entries say, or the third option is that the trainers actually use a stadium that is never shown. As for the elite four thing according to the lore most Gym leader(s) has beaten the elite four or whatever the equivalent is for the region they are simply placed in the position that they have either because they earn it or because they were chosen. The next thing is that the win prize monetary system is something that is enforced by the authorities and the prizes are negotiable prior to and after the battle according to the lore however in case where the participants have items or effects moves ect that increases the prizes for any reason that is added by the authorities on a case by case basis and each trainer pays a fee for each combat they participate in and all sorts of things but in total but something else is that the majority of basic goods and services are free in the Pokemon universe(s).
