In [[SM051]] despite Cosmoem 2204.4 lbs, Ash is able to carry it easily. Something similar happened with Larvitar and Hippopotas. --[[User:HoopsterJohn|HoopsterJohn]] ([[User talk:HoopsterJohn|talk]]) 20:42, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

== Page Deletion/Split ==
In my opinion, this article covers two entirely different subject matters under the same page title. "Anime physics" implies a set of pre-established tropes about anime in general, and not specifically about Pokemon.
* [[Poké Ball]]s change in size and convert Pokémon to and from a plasma-like substance (the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} retains its consciousness in this state).
* In ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]'', James is knocked off a cliff by a giant boulder. He is later seen to be perfectly fine with no hint of the fall.
* In almost every episode, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} manage to get launched hundreds of feet into the air, sometimes crashing through the roof of a building or a cave wall, by various means (usually a Pokémon attack). However, others standing near them will not be moved or even affected, and Team Rocket never get too hurt from the flight, which would surely kill a normal person. They also are in a stationary position during the first part of their flight, and then start suddenly spinning, normally after making a humorous comment.
These examples are the most pronounced, but I think every example in the "Loose physics" section is self-evident and of little encyclopedic value. It is obvious that anime characters are capable of surviving things impossible in real life, or that tech in the Pokemon universe functions in fantastical ways. The "Magic satchels" section similarly provides examples of events that are self-evident.
I think that the "Move and type effectiveness errors" and "Other conflicts with the games" sections should be split off from this page, possibly merged with [[Anime move errors]]. The examples given here are generally non-trivial (a person reading the trivia section for an episode might not know that Ground types are supposed to be immune to Electric type moves) and are unique to pokemon and distinct from the set of tropes that would usually fall under "Anime physics".
