Mars Guo writes:: This is gonna sound way overthought and farfetched but here I go anyways. I think that Rock Pokemon are weakened by water because of a psychological trait. If they are overwhelmed by too much water at an alarming rate and they can't stop it and it continues (like a water attack or a sprinkler system, and NOT like in the volcano) they begin to get the feeling that they're drowning and in severe cases, may become so flustered and frantic that they slip into unconsciousness and faint. I believe this is where they got the whole water-over-rock thing. Not sure about that, but where else would they get the idea, eh?; 4 of 4 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Mars Guo writes:: Unknown, that was a typo, forgive me. As for Ninetales, that is how you spell it. N-I-N-E-T-A-L-E-S, with an E. It's called that because of Japanese legends of a nine-tailed fox that caused mischief in small villiages. Tails = Tales = Stories or Legends. It's a pun, nya? Look it up.; 3 of 3 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Daniel writes:: Rock pokemon ARE weak against water attacks, but not water. They can touch and drink water but being attacked would hurt them. Ground pokemon are weak to grass attacks but are not afraid to walk through a scary meadow full of horrifying grass.; 3 of 4 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

T-zone writes:: Well, Mars, I think I know where they got this water-over-rock thing. Water erodes rock. Our own beaches were once rocky cliffs, but over thousands of years were pounded by the waves and eroded into a rocky powder we call sand. That is why rock Pokemon are weak against water Pokemon. Case closed.; 2 of 2 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

@ssKicker writes:: How about this- lava in the volcano is molten rock, OK? If something can melt rock, it can melt Rock Poke-Mon. And almost certainly other types excluding Fire type, which is just fire anyway. Charizard, Nine-tales and Magmar could help, but none of the others could. Brock's Poke-Mon would be a puddle of lava on the floor before they got anywhere near the rocks.; 2 of 2 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Ponyta227 writes:: I think Rock-Type Pok�mon are weak against Water-Type ATTACKS because, logically, rocks sink in water and, like that other dude said (daniel? someone like that?) they feel that drowning feeling. Also, as for all this Ember/Fire Blast stuff, an ember is a flaming coal, so if you see a Pok�mon throwing hot rocks at another Pok�mon, it's Ember. If they throw plain ol' fire, it's Flamethrower. Punching another Pok�mon using flaming fists is Fire Punch. Fire coming from the mouth (or, in Ponyta and Rapidash's cases, the mane and tail) is Fire Blast.; 3 of 4 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Mars Guo writes:: Yes, I have always believed that much. I do think that Rock Pokemon are weakened dramatically by Water attacks, but are not always harmed by water in general. If they hate water that badly, it's no wonder Kabuto's extinct! Can't get outta the water, too dry! Get into the water, too wet! However, that did seem like a major error and I did have trouble believing that one at first. As for the fried Togepi bit, don't be rediculous. If Togepi fell there's not a chance in the world he'd get fried. More likely he'd be hard boiled. >=); 1 of 1 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

oracle128 writes:: i think that rock pokemon are weak against water not only because of the orosion thing, but also all rock pokemon have cracks in them, especially geodude/graveller/golem, and water can get inside cracks.; 1 of 1 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

@ssKicker writes:: I can't believe nobody else noticed this- why are ANY of the Pokemon enjoying it?! Starmie, Staryu and Squirtle were using Water Gun and Hydro Pump. As far as I know, those are Pokemon attacks. And how could Pikachu ever help with the rocks? He's not a lot like a fire or rock Pokemon.; 1 of 1 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

NateChu writes:: plus, didn't Blaine say only a fire pokemon could resist the heat, then Brock said his rock pokemon could handle it. don't you think Pikachu would be fried? and topegi, didn't he nearly fall into the lava, that would make fried topegi? And pikachu went really slow compared to the other pokemon, how could he keep up with them if the rocks slowed him down so much?; 1 of 2 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

WaySarcastic writes:: Mew, what are you TALKING about "not weak against water"? You mean rock-types, right? I beat a L12 Onix with a L8 Squirtle in one hit!!!!!!! Master, yeah right.; 0 of 0 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Mars Guo writes:: OK, this "Case Closed" carp is getting to me. You said it before and I proved you wrong. Now listen up. It's true water erodes rock. Water will erode anything if given the time. But seriously, it takes hundreds or thousands of years to make any real difference. This is where they got the idea, but that doesn't explain worth magikarp why Rock Pokemon are weakened by water on the spot.; 0 of 0 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Gungan Din writes:: Most of the weakness/resistance stuff corresponds to simple logic, from the basic (water douses fire) to the abstract (if you threw a large rock at a bird, it'd hoit). Grounded things have no fear against electricity.; 0 of 0 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

@ssKicker writes:: NateChu, if you think Rock Poke`mon would become weak near the lava, how come Rhydon's lived in it for most of his life? But then there is another point- Golem is a rock Poke`mon and can be defeated with Charmander's Ember. And yes, Rock Poke`mon are weak against water, but only if they are attacked with it. Think, people!!! Ahem. I think I've made my point. (@_@); 0 of 0 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Gungan Din writes:: So you're saying Squirtle's water didn't hurt Golem because he meant it in a nice way?; 0 of 0 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Unknown writes:: Blaine is spelled B-L-A-I-N-E, not Blane. Baldy DID say that only fire pok�mon can stand the heat, but what does he know??? Did you notice in the recap for the first part, the narrarator said Ninetails (not Ninetales or Ninelives) used Ember, but he/she used Fire Blast!; 0 of 0 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

@ssKicker writes:: It's Ninetales, dude. Every official Pok�mon web-site spells it Ninetales. Every Pok�mon book spells it Ninetales. On the Game-Boy it's spelled- you've guessed it- Ninetales!; 0 of 0 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

@ssKicker writes:: Oh, and Unknown- Nine-tales DID use Ember. I remember it well. Also, why does Charizard sometimes listen to Ash? Like in the Pok�Mon League, when fighting Blaine for the second time, and when fighting Mew-Two's clones in Mew-Two Strikes Back(which was, by the way, the worst movie I have ever seen and Pikachu's Vacation was just as nauseating if not worse)?; 0 of 0 people found this comment helpful.

@ssKicker writes:: Note the quotes, T-zone. I was finishing your conversation for you. I hate Mars, but I like him/her more than I used to- he/she disses the Pok�Mon Handbook at every opportunity, and he/she agrees that Tracy and Chansey must both die. And he/she likes Gengar! But I get the impression Mars hates Digimon. This should decide it: I think Pok�Mon sucks, Digimon rules and even a Poyomon could defeat Pikachu in battle. Erm, no T-zone, we're not meant to be together. And it would be a whole lot easier if I knew the sexes and ages of you lot! I'm not telling you my age, but I'll tell you I'm female. The only things any of us know about each other is the shows, games and hobbies we enjoy. You can find this out easily, by just looking around the site. And yes, it's OK to tell each other our ages and sexes, because we can choose to give our e-mails or not. I rest my case.

I'm not, I'm just having a laugh, that's all. Join in, laughter is good for you. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!; 0 of 0 people found this comment helpful. Did you?
