Seriously, though, one of the things I love about the Pokémon franchise is that the in-game compendia totally follow through on the premise that the greater part of the Pokédex has been written by preteen children playing at being naturalists, and not all of them have a clear idea of what that actually entails. You’ve got entries that mostly stick to empirical observations with the occasional off-the-wall conclusion thrown in; entries that compile painstakingly researched local legends with no apparent understanding that there’s a difference between facts and folklore; and then there are entries by that one kid who’s clearly just making shit up, Gary.
