I was talking with my friend the other day and we got onto the topic of how impossible the pokemon universe is (barring the fact that there are thousands of animals with super powers), specifically what the buildings are made of, they have to withstand multiple tornados, tsunamis, earthquakes, lightning strikes, and firestorms in a day plus the natural stuff. just wondering if there is anything in the modern world that could consistently stand up to that kind of abuse?

I am both selfish and instinctive. I value growth and community, as long as they favour my own objectives; I enjoy nature, and I particularly enjoy watching parts of nature die. At best, I am resilient and tenacious; at worst, I'm uncontrollable and destructive.

It doesn't seem like anyone really fights in the Pokemon universe, besides you. Everyone just stands and stares into space for most of their lifetime, waiting for you to walk in front of them so they can challenge you.
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

I'm pretty sure the engineers and architects of the Pokemon world have thought of all eventualities that may occur to prevent such massive destruction from...
Ya know what, they should just use legos.
Less hassle, less explosions.

And that is why you hear people yelling FOR THE EMPEROR rather than FOR LOGICAL AND QUANTIFIABLE BASED DECISIONS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE MAJORITY!

Just read the comic on page 1. Rofled, cried, coughed up something gross, and died laughing. Thank you for that.
The last panel is my favorite. She has this crazed look on her face...

I agree i started the conversation with him when we satrted to move though if you think about it allo they would need is to worry about pokemon becasue apparently the nonexistent government is controling the guns in the world ( yes there was agun in one episode). Also food for thought imagine how hard it would be in midevil times to go get food" Ok got my bow ready gonna get me some pidgey to eat..... OH gak Another CHARIZARD!
FInally there is only one thing they could possibly be made out of CHucknoris or the hopes and dreams of nerd all around the world.

Subject: Re:wtf are the buildings in pokemon made of
Yanno Ive wondered that myself. Ive played pretty much everyone made since the gameboy (minus the brand new versions) and my fav is a geo dude and his transformations. Anyways, Ive wondered how the buildings didnt fall apart when Id do a super powerful earthquake attack or something like that. Seriously? HOW?!?!?!? HE SHAKES THE FRIGGIN EARTH!!!!!!!!!
More importantly, how do massive AoE attack like earthquakes and avalanches not kill the trainers? My bro and I have discussed this on many occasions. And for whoever said it, there were actually two episodes with guns.
What I like is that they never mention what actually goes into the poke food or the meat they eat. I think I have only seen one episode where it showed them using pokemon as food, (it was ramoraid as I beleive which they were cooking over a fire opn a stick) yet they have an episode with a Tauros and Miltank farm. The only card that mentions a pokemon eating meat is Warturtle, and we pretty much guessed he eats other pokemon.
I think they also had an episode where they ate magiccarps since there is no other use for them LOL. and my answer to any pokemon is " Oh you may have a charziard but i got the gun BAM, My Zard now lol.

Yeah I've thought of that myself. I mean come on! We all know pikachus must taste delicious, they're so cute they have to be tasty. Like dolphin lmao.
Could it be possible to geneticly engineer a pikachu? I mean, get a mouse, take the cells that create the shock in electric eels and add it in. Is that possible?

-What do the people in pokemon eat?
-What do the pokemon in pokemon eat?
-Why is there no uniform form of schooling?
-Even if we take this to be a pleasure centric utopia where all of the worlds ills have been solved (note the teleportation technology) why are there no allusions to the real world?
-How does an economy seemingly centered entirely on the training and sale of semi intellegent anthromorphs work?
-Why are there no farmers?
-Why are there no factories?
-Why is there seemingly no real crime?
-Why is it standard practice to send 12 year olds into forests full of wild super powered animals?
-Why is it standard practice to abandon children to seemingly endless quests about the capture and battle of animals?
-Why does no one ever get injured or killed?
-Why does no one seem to know what all the pokemon are? I knew that gak when I was 12.

Do you remember that time that thing happened?
This is a bad thread and you should all feel bad
How come Lickitung can't use Lick in Red? Why make an attack called Lick, and make something called a Lickitung, and not pair them together. IT MAKES NO SENSE.
