    I lol'd at Macargo and Pidgeot especially. But some of them are okay aren't they, scientifically? Okay, a little unbelievable but not impossible. I would've liked them to explain HSOWA* :pac: Or how Golem EXPLODES and is still okay afterwards?

    I believe that Anime Physics also apply to that

    Hahaha, this always annoyed me as a kid.
    In almost every episode, Jessie, James, and Meowth manage to get launched hundreds of feet into the air, sometimes crashing through the roof of a building or a cave wall, by various means (usually a Pokémon attack). However, others standing near them will not be moved or even affected, and Team Rocket never gets seriously hurt from the flight, which would surely kill a normal person. They also are in a stationary position during the first part of their flight, and then start suddenly spinning, normally after making a humorous comment.

    Actually the Ratticate one isn't too bad - concrete may withstand massive pressures but it's brittle (hence the need for steel reinforcement to help it withstand lateral forces). Ratticate's flavour text says it can gnaw through buildings, not crunch clean through them in a single bite.

    Also in relative terms if you can accept Hitmonlee's bullet train punch then it's not much of a stretch to accept the Machamp 10,000 punches since it's only a fraction of a second in the difference.

    In conclusion - we can put a man on the moon but it's 2010 and I still can't buy a fricken Pikachu in Tesco? Science has failed our world!
