Images you know you'll never use. (Now NSFW)

My headcanon as to how the Pokedex is written is not actually far from those pictures.

It does make perfect sense. Let the trainers write whatever the fuck they want for the Pokemon. As long as it gets them collecting the Pokemon for the professors to study

Also, makes me feel better about Slugma cooling off and dying as a result. Probably just hibernating due to being too cold and the trainer basically being an idgit

A lot of things in it just kind of don't make sense.

For instance, how can a Goldeen travel 5 knots per hour, if knots is not a measure of distance?

Knots can be referred to as "per hour", even if it's technically incorrect.

This one actually works in-universe; Magikarp and Gyarados are based on a Japanese myth that a carp that manages to swim up a waterfall becomes a dragon.

Also, the Rapidash one works depending on whether you're using "hardness" in the scientific sense of "difficult to scratch" or the more colloquial "difficult to break."

If the latter, diamonds are fairly brittle, so lots of stuff would qualify for that, though the statement would lose any significant meaning.

Also also, there is no Pokèdex entry that says that Absol brings disaster. They all say that people think it brings disaster because it has the ability to predict natural disasters and tries to warn people.
