I thought I'd exercise a bit of the old grey matter and share some of the things that, despite how fun some games are, have certain aspects to them that just don't make sense.
For the first episode, I'll tackle Pokemon, a game that's incredibly good, but full of weird-arse things that just shouldn't happen.
Your Pokemon are battle worn, been beaten from pillar to post, expelled their last energy for you, you rush them to a Pokemon Centre, Nurse Joy heals them back to full health from you, almost a miracle recovery considering all 6 of your Pokemon fainted fighting for you. She bows to you after handing back the Pokeballs and says
"We hope to see you again!"
Now this is my WTF moment, what vet thinks that seeing you again is a good thing? It'd mean your Pokemon are half dead again and need more attention. Does she really care about your Pokemon? Does she have the hots for you? Does she want you to come back because she just realised she nursed a Groudon back to health, thinking she might be able to sell it to Team Rocket for a nice price?
Does Nurse Joy even get paid for this? Perhaps it's just to curb her boredom. Thanks to the internal clock of the DS, we now know she works there 24/7 without breaks, maybe it's just a matter of giving her something to do. Perhaps this is looking too far into it, but that's the point of these WTF moments, I hope you enjoyed reading it!
There's plenty of things wrong with Pokemon! 1. All of the buildings in the world face South. 2. Your running shoes come with instructions. 3. The main character is ten years old and can tame beasts that can manipulate weather and contort dimensions. 4. You pit animals against each other for money. 5. There are no cars in the world...only bikes. 6. There's only about 50 different people in the world...as well as their hundreds of twins...
There are some incredibly disturbing moments in the TV show as well. One particular line still creeps me out to this day. Ash as he's attempting to catch a Pidgey: "Enjoy your last moments of freedom! You belong to me now!"
Pokemon are animals that dont even moo or bark or do anything normal animals would: they can ONLY say their names over and over again. And some of them are made of rocks. Could you really call them animals?

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.
1. A 10 year old kid can capture a godly being in a ball. 2. When you capture that being, the universe would colapse, but it doesn't 3. A 10 year old kid can walk forever without getting tired.

It's that last one right there that proves to me Pokemon isn't real, no matter how much I wish it was.

Well this thread is 18 posts long, time for a recap of the match so far: Chunky+Droid started off with an excellent call which was removed for unknown reasons. This retirement from the field of battle left the spot of number one poster open to all-comers. irken_004 stepped up to claim the number one spot but was knocked off the podium by Chicken Brutus and his Casanova-esque ways of seduction. PheonixSage made a surprise attack from the rear but her baffling remarks only succeeded in distracting Brutus so Dragoon could make his move. Dragoons call left PheonixSage beside the road with a broken kneecap and set Brutus stumbling. With Brutus' hold on the number one spot slipping who will be the winner of this thread?
