While we're on the subject, guys, what the fuck is up with the moon in the Pokemon world?
The moon is highly radioactive, and it apparently gives off a light of its own that is capable of bringing things to life (Oddish needs moonlight to grow, Grimer and Muk were toxic sludge granted life by x-rays from the moon); it's believed to be the homeworld of Clefairy and its kin, moon stones mutate everything from Nidorino and Jigglypuff (moon rabbits) to Skitty of all things, everything involving Lunatone being the source of O-Powers; and Lunala is said to be the guardian and "emissary" of the moon, implying that the moon has thoughts.
And that's just what we can confirm, to say nothing of what we can speculate (Deoxys' virus didn't mutate into Deoxys until it passed by the moon).
Guys, there's something really weird going on with the moon.
