>>43691913the games ARE internally consistent. but there's no reason to suggest that if any rules are followed, it'd be Smogon's rules.
>>43692584at the very least, the one about pokemon being able to escape their pokeballs at any time is not true. at least in the games.
>>43693328what do you mean by bullshit? what you described about the pokedex is exactly what it does.
what you described about shiny pokemon seems unlikely, since even normal pikachu show no variance in their coloration in any aspect e.g. there are no pikachu which are yellow but with pink cheek pouches, or a brown tail, etc.
the legendary pokemon thing is not your head canon because that is true in most cases. for example, mew is a species and there are several of them. the legendary birds are rare and powerful, but not unique. mewtwo is probably unique since it was made in a lab, though, and then escaped.
>>43693392this is weird.
>43695025why would all pokemon have the same level then? and why would it make sense for pokemon of the same species, though ones which are not identical, to both be able to reach the same level?
>>43695241doesn't explain why pokemon lay eggs in peaceful places like in the daycare. pokemon lay eggs as stated in game. the only time a pokemon has produced a live birth was in Gen 1 before the breeding system was established - Mew gave birth to Mewtwo.
>>43695289people eating pokemon in game is mentioned and confirmed in Pokemon Platinum and the anime. there's also a farm for Miltank, people drink their milk, Chansey eggs are stated to be nutritious in-game, and Farfetch'd is almost extinct due to overhunting by humans. All mentioned in-game.
>>43699645first thing seems like nonsense.
second thing is definitely wrong because of many things suggested and stated in the games.
>>43702309for the most part this is true. it was more true in the earlier gens, but the mindset of this has changed and is changing a lot in the more recent games.
