Pokemon is unrealistic to even the practical parts of reality.

And that ends round 2 and I have lost track of the score so let's keep going next question!!

How come pokemon twice the protagonist's height can hide in waist-high grass?

Nobody ever explicitly stated it was waist-high. Just "tall." Waist-high could easily just be an arbitrary graphic to preserve tiling and your position. You might really be walking in grass well over your head, as is possible with some kinds of prairie grass.

Every time I hit up the games section and see this thread, I do a double take:

Wait, are they seriously doing this?

Except that in gen three, we DO get grass that's taller than you!

Also, how the hell do some of the pokemon hide in the middle of no-where in caves? I mean, okay I guess Onix/Geodudes and whatnot could be underground, but how the hell is Hariyama jumping out of nowhere to fight me?

We're doing this.

NPF: Continue unnecessary conversation because shit just got real.

Stealthily.

Yeah, this isn't they type of forum I'd expect to see that flame war pop up in. But my first forum was a Pokemon one, and I spend a lot of time on Bulbapedia, so I've seen that argument so many times it makes me want to punt a Pichu.

{Character} is a nearsighted half-deaf ADD freak who can hardly remember where he keeps his pokeballs. Only way that's possible.

I mean seriously, how the guy doesn't learn Earthquake through leveling up is beyond me.

Ah, makes sense.

Noted, I'll can that crap in the future.
