Category : Pokemon
Pokémon has been a big deal all over the world, especially the United States and Japan, for years now. A lot of fans started watching young when the television show first appeared in the U.S. back in the 90s to some high appeal. Other shows were able to branch off of this success and become quite popular as well.
Perhaps our inner-child all came out when Pokémon Go! first came out from Nintendo. This time, we could play on our phones rather than Gameboy, and we could truly bring Pokémon into the real world. It made sense and worked out well for everyone. While the love and hype for Pokémon Go! has died down a bit since it first came out, the name has not.
Pokémon will always be popular it seems, but there are a lot of holes in the picture that need to be addressed. We’ve all watched the shows and movies and thought to ourselves….something is off, right? It may not be that huge, but rather, just something you noticed that could be refuted by the right person.
At The Gamer, we love Pokémon, of course. However, we have to be honest and talk about some impressively off-logic from the creators. Since we’re nice, we decided to do this in meme form so that you might be able to use some of this logic by posting the memes or sending them to friends for whatever reason you deem necessary. With that said, sit back and relax as we give you the 25 Pokémon logic memes that are hilariously true.
25 That’s Okay, We Didn’t Need To Pass Through
Years ago when the Gameboy version of Pokémon came out, we were all thrilled to dive into the world and battle along while catching some great Pokémon. The major issue in the game was not so much the battling or Pokémon you would get, but how the game was structured. On Gameboy, there were some pretty amazing games. This means it is possible to build a terrific game despite the limited tech compared to today.
Nintendo seemingly did not bother with Pokémon’s game structure at times, which left us with some clearly identifiable problems. At times, there were roads you could not pass through, despite the fact that the area in front of it was open. This was especially an issue when you wanted to take a shortcut and not travel all the way around the area. Clearly, while the games were fun, we all hated this part of it.
24 God Of What Now?
There is one common theme in Pokémon, most any of them can be caught. There are very few that are out there that are not able to be. Most of the time, this is only how they are presented, but in the games, you can catch anything. Obviously, some are tougher than others, which means you have a lot to deal with if you want to catch it. One of those Pokémon that would be tougher, and should be unable to be caught, is Arceus.
Arceus is known as the God of all Creation (when it comes to Pokémon at least). It is said that Arceus helped to (or alone) create the Sinnoh region, and the entire Pokémon world we know today. Due to this, Arceus’ status is quite high and it makes no sense for him to be trapped in a Pokéball.
23 That Price Seems Odd…
If there is one thing that no one ever understood about Pokémon, it was the way things were priced. One would assume that certain items would cost more, and that makes sense. You do not play Assassin’s Creed and get a legendary sword without having to pay some big bucks. No one is ever going to complain when they know they have to pay for an item worth the price it is asking. Well, some would…
In any case, it seems the games did not often think about how they priced things. In the real-world, anytime something is specially crafted, it costs more. When there is not an abundance, it makes sense to ask for more for such an item. Meanwhile, when you have things that there ARE a lot of, they would normally sell for less. Not in Pokémon, as this meme points out, they would put Water at a higher expense than special Pokémon medicine. There is no logic there at all!
22 I’ll Just Punch Myself In The Face Now
Perhaps one of the most hilarious, yet sad, things comes from the fan-favorite Pokémon, known as Pikachu. This Pokémon can use electricity in highly skilled ways and seems to always be a favorite for Ash to use by his side (even outside his Pokéball). Not all of them are created equally. This means some can be quite dangerous, and even evil.
However, the version we know of seems to have one weakness, if nothing else. Pikachu is self-loathing. Perhaps not the healthiest thing one can see, Pikachu is known for not being able to do something right and immediately punches himself in the face. Whether he messes up or is simply confused, that small fist is heading for Face Town. It is quite apparent, Pikachu needs to see a Psychiatrist.
21 Fire Apparently Doesn’t Go Out With Water
Charmander is considered to be quite dangerous due to his skills with the hot stuff. One thing that is considered to be his biggest weakness happens to be his tail. Not so much the tail itself, but the flame on it. Apparently, we’re led to believe science is stupid in the world of Pokémon.
Once the flame goes out, Charmander dies. It is a sad but true fact about this Pokémon. As a result, one would imagine that he would need to stay away from any water type or weather type that would possibly put the flame out. Weirdly, Charmander can be inside the water and drown yet not die from this (he just faints). Keep in mind, he needs to drown with water that would cover his tail….and fire cannot exist inside water for long if at all.
20 Leaves Are Dangerous, Right?
We’re all caught off-guard at times when it comes to certain Pokémon. However, one fan favorite by the name of Bulbasaur makes no sense. The ability this Pokémon has to use plant-life to beat others is impressive. Truly he and his evolved forms are certainly a force to be reckoned with. However, there are some Pokémon match-ups that do not make sense for Bulbasaur to beat.
One of those moments involved Bulbasaur using a leaf to kill a literal giant rock snake. It is almost impossible to believe any sort of Pokémon has a big chance against Onyx, but at least others would make more sense here. Yet we see ole’ Bulbasaur kill the Pokémon using leafs. If you did not think science was dead here, I hope you’re seeing it now.
19 It Seems We Cannot Pivot Our Way Out Of This One
It can be stated, without much effort, that there are certain Pokémon around just for laughs. One of those Pokémon is Snorlax. Look, we all love the character, but there seems to be an undeniable weirdness here that cannot be ignored. Snorlax is massive, a little over 1,000lbs in fact. Due to this, his size is very difficult to deal with and he can block just about any path you need to take.
Getting past him seems easy. One of his main weaknesses, seriously, is “fighting.” With that said, one would have to wonder why he becomes so tough. The weirdest part of all is that despite his immense size, he can be put inside of a ball that is about 1% his size. One has to wonder why Snorlax, who would not fight back from being captured, continues to block paths.
18 Let’s Not Get Ahead Of Ourselves Here
Ash Ketchum truly embodied the tagline in Pokémon. Ash always felt he had to “catch ’em all!” The thought seemingly was, he would either do this or become a condiment. While Ash might be popular, one has to wonder if they’re leaning toward the latter these days.
What is overlooked a lot with Ash is that, while he may have battled quite a lot of gym leaders and Pokémon, he hasn’t caught a lot. He would develop many, and top ones like Pikachu were clearly used a lot for Ash. However, he did not win all the time and he would not catch various Pokémon he tried to catch.
However, the entire thing starts off with Ash saying he wants to go catch every known Pokémon at the time. This is a continued trend, yet the guy took years to catch a handful in comparison to the amount he had left over.
17 Do You Like To Live….Dangerously?
Maybe we’re cheating with this one, but it’s quite obvious someone needs to bring this one up. We all know Team Rocket isn’t exactly going to win a contest of the minds, however, this goes beyond their usual brand of crazy. Usually, Team Rocket is known for showing up in the craziest of ways. The easiest way to do something, the better to them it appears. That is why this particular one is so hilarious.
Both hate doing things the hard way. They became criminals BECAUSE they hate that. In this situation, they would have to climb a nice sized cliff, all while risking their own lives in doing so. Instead, they could have walked a safer road and still got to their destination. We get it, you did not want Bill to see you coming. Yet you could not duck down while walking up the road? Come on TR, you’re lazier than this!
16 Ash Found The Fountain Of Youth Somehow
Pokémon premiered back in the 90s, but due to the fact that Anime has taken off in a bigger way these days, it made sense to return to it. This time it meant that they would have better graphics and a better overall opportunity. Many people feel that Pokémon had a chance to make a big impression when it truly returned with new and remastered shows. However, there was one major flaw.
Ash seemingly never ages, at all, at any point in the series. We’re all aware they planned to change him up some, but they could have aged him for the new show to help him fit in better with the crowd of today that watched back then. However, they went opposite of this. Despite everything, Ash never aged in the original series. Forever, he is 10 years old. We need to find out if he took out Ra’s al Ghul or something…
15 IQs Are Apparently Useless
There is a lot of inconsistency in Pokémon it seems. One would imagine that the smarter you are, the better and more equipped you will become. Intelligence is not something to be scoffed at, as those with proper IQs can easily do extraordinary things. That brings us to Alakazam. His abilities are quite interesting. He has very weak muscles, and apparently, he is so weak that his psychic power ability has to move his body for him.
While complicated, it’s clear that Alakazam is a threat due to his impressive intelligence and psychic power, right? Despite his IQ, he has only managed to learn four moves in total. This is an issue, as anyone needing to take him down only has to find a way to counter four freaking moves! He’s said to have 5,000 IQ, yet Alakazam cannot learn more than four moves?!
14 Water Pokémon Can’t Swim?
While it could be considered amusing to see a Pokémon wearing something a person might use, it has to make sense. A lot of smaller humans (we call them children), do wear flotation devices. This is due to the fact that many kids cannot swim at that point, and having this around keeps them from drowning. One cannot be upset with that. However, it is not as if Pokémon need them…especially a water-type.
Yet, this happened with Piplup. This Pokémon is a water-type, yet needs a flotation device? One would have to wonder what was going through the writer’s mind when he thought “and we’re gonna have Piplup look cute coming downstairs in a floatie.” We all know it made no sense seeing it. Piplup is a water-type, he is supposed to know how to swim!
13 Death Is Easier Than Using Your Pokémon
It is pretty common that most of us think before we die. We do our best to survive and will do anything to make sure we do. That said, this creative direction by the Pokémon writers stuck out to many viewers as absolutely nuts. Ash is good to his Pokémon, as are his friends. They would be happy to help out their master or owner if you will. They’re, for the lack of a better word, like pets to a point.
This meme said it all. Our heroes are in a dry desert on the brink of death. They need water to keep going. If nothing more, it would cool them down. On top of this, they would avoid dehydration. The team has water types that could have been released from their Pokéballs to help, yet they are kept trapped in their ball. The team risked death rather than releasing Pokémon to help them. Brains were not used here, at all!
12 But What Was The Point, Korinna?
We all know that the creators and writers of the Pokémon television series and movies are going to miss a few things here and there. What seemed to be lazy writing (or a simple change in direction later on) involved Korrina and Lucario. Known as quite the Pokémon fighter herself, she clearly has a lot she can do that could make her a top star in the world.
What makes things so odd is that the writers spent five episodes on her where she is supposed to learn how to control a certain raging Pokémon. Instead of finding another interesting way to calm the beast, they did exactly what has been done before. As if to say “here you go, a lazily written story where the end result is something you already know, enjoy kids!” We see right through this, Pokémon. The logic here is practically nonexistent.
11 Not Even A Scratch
I know what you’re probably thinking here. We’re nitpicking a cartoon, one that is technically an anime one too. Logic is flawed in cartoons, and we all know this. However, that is sort of the problem, is it not? In this case, for example, we have Pikachu. A solid character we all seemingly love in the Pokémon universe. However, there is a glaring hole in the logic here.
The Pokémon falls while being inside a glass cage. That cage then shatters on the ground below. Yet instead of having a scratch of any kind, he’s 100% clean. Simple science would say that a fall of any kind would mean trouble and possible problems. From bruising to scratches, all would be included. Upon it shattering, he would have been covered in glass and scratched a lot. A concussion would even be possible.
10 Getting Water Isn’t THIS Hard In The Pokémon Universe
The Pokémon universe is a fickle one, filled with writers who do not consider that they have Pokémon within the universe they write about. It is actually quite amusing when you first see it, then it becomes quite a massive issue when the creative side is gone completely. In another example of this, we have someone needing to get water for their crops to grow.
Of course, this is logical. We need that to grow crops, and without water, they cannot possibly grow. So this person goes on a quest to find a legendary Pokémon who grants wishes, known as Jirachi. This wish maker will surely help, right? Well, of course, they will. However, we’re completely ignoring ALL WATER POKÉMON THAT COULD HAVE DONE THIS! Look, if we’re talking to a chick that has never heard of Pokémon before and you tell them someone can grant a wish to help them, that is different.
9 Jessie Was A What?!
I think we were all unified in saying that Team Rocket might be one of the best villain groups ever. Let us explain. Team Rocket hardly ever gets anything done. They are not scary or much of a threat. But they’re hilarious and make you love them. It’s almost like The Joker in Batman, but not quite as murdery. One thing many were surprised by was the backstory of Jessie. She seemed to be the brains of the group, but no one knew to what extent.
Jessie actually has a degree in nursing and spent time in the field before going out as a thief. Jessie clearly loves making an impression, but there is no logic in her move here. So we’re going to steal a Pikachu and do what with him exactly? What was the end goal for Team Rocket? They never seemed like they had one, and Jessie left the nursing field to become a nutso duo with the only talking Pokémon in the universe? There’s seems to be a problem here…
8 This Is How They Get You…
A lot of prices in Pokémon do not seem to add up, but one consistent one involves healthcare. It’s free, yet there is a lot of expense in real-life terms. To pay for all the healthcare, other things rise in price. People forget taxes and everything else, yet, end up paying for such things in the end. It’s logical that one would need to pay more for other products since they’re getting something free. Yet in Pokémon form, this logic is flawed.
EVERYTHING is higher, which does not make a lot of sense. Lemonade, among other small priced items, go up to high rates for no reason. This meme exploits the major problem. How one could get one of the most expensive things possible for 100% free, yet they cannot get a glass of lemonade without breaking the bank. There is a problem somewhere in that.
7 How Does This Even Happen?
We need to explain the craziness in how all of this happens. A lot of Pokémon make absolutely no sense. There are many flawed designs that it seems creators just throw abilities onto. They do this without even considering the problems in how the design affects the Pokémon, or what abilities might even fit best. For some, it makes sense. A dragon should breathe fire or fly, thus it does.
However, we have a flying type here without wings or psychic ability. How is that even possible? How does the Pokémon fly without the abilities that would allow it to do so? One has to conclude at the end of the day that the creators have not considered things. It’s as if they molded a character out of clay for the heck of it, and then drew out abilities from a hat at random. This is by far the most random, and idiotic thing we could see. Logic isn’t flawed, it isn’t even considered!
6 Where Do His Balls Go?
It is quite obvious that we’re all sort of used to the idea that we can play a video game where we attain objects that we cannot carry on our person. How many of us kept every single weapon we were offered in Assassin’s Creed? Clearly, we could sell them or dump them off, but only games like Fallout had a meter of how much you could carry at one time. Pokémon might be the worst at this, as they do not consider anything regarding the Pokémon storage.
Here, we have a Pokéball that someone like Ash will use. To his credit, of course, he does not normally carry a ton of Pokémon on him. Yet we constantly see in the games and cartoon that many are bought and somehow we do not consider where they go? Where do all of those balls end up? How does one fit 99 Pokéballs in one, single backpack?
