It’s the only explanation that makes sense
If you’ve ever played aPokémongame, you’d realize that some of the critters possess rather unbelievable abilities beyond comprehension. I’m not talking about just the legendary Pokémon but also the run-of-the-mill creatures that are analogous to real-world animals.
Of course, we don’t actuallyseemany of these abilities in practice. All this information comes straight from the Pokédex, which claims thatMetagrossis smarter than a supercomputer,Pidgeotflies at Mach 2 speeds,Magikarp— friggin’Magikarp— can leap over a mountain, and so on. We take these Pokédex entries at face value without ever asking for the supporting research.
Thisphoto albumon Imgur makes a strong case that the Pokédex was written by kids. How else could you explain such outlandish statements if not that they were the exaggerated accounts of excitable children?
