The Question of the Day is a way to facilitate community discussion to help members ponder the unanswered questions of the world that are somehow relating to the hobby. Questionsj are many times open ended and up to interpretation. Feel free to post your thoughts in as much or as little detail as you’d like.
Helpful Considerations may or may not help some people focus their answer, these are blurred to not bother those who have their own ideas.
We cannot be melted by magma (let’s say 1200°C) therefore we are clearly not of this earth, which we are supposed to be, being made of antarctic ice. Unless they call it Antarctica in the pokemon world too, where this exotic phase of ice clearly makes no sense either. So not only are we potentially breaking the rules of the world we come from but also the one we live in.
Technically, Dragonite is a dragon, and it probably has hydrogen filled inside its body making it lighter for flight. But we all know the real reason is that it just believes in itself. Chadonite!
Yes gravity exists, without gravity the pokemon planet would not be livable, from the things I have seen the pokemon’s version of earth seems to be similar to Earth’s as they have worms and humans living on the planet
There is clearly an atmosphere with clouds even descriptions of rayquaza mention an ozone layer leading to the theory that there is a livable atmostphere
, they have a star that they orbit
Ursaluna evolves during a blood moon which only happens in earth when earth casts a shadow on a moon which provides evidence that we have similar sized planets and moons and a very similar solar system
This^ is the crème brûlée of any of the evidence, a star’s gravitational force is what keeps a planet in the liveable zone, without this zone humans and other animals (like earth worms) do not have the capacity to live, without gravity there would not be anything to hold the planets in from flying into the cold empty space where a human cannot survive
So yes, gravity works in the same way as it does on earth, I’m sure there’s thousands of things I didn’t list that could provide evidence to why gravity exists the same way that Pokemon does
Gravity certainly cannot be the same universal constant as in our universe. Wailord, for example is less dense than air, so gravity must be a stronger weak magnetic force than electro-magnetism, unlike in ours. Similarly, this might explain why gardevoir, creating black holes from time to time, has never accidentally crushed the planet. Though these two things ALSO suggest that electro-magnetism is also stronger than in our universe… hmm
BUUuuut, then these things are simply multipliers, so perhaps this reasoning is logically flawed. Yeah, I think it is..
