→‎Intro: This is really not anime physics so much as just not showing things on screen that are irrelevant to the plot and/or societally considered inappropriate for polite company. There is no indication that they literally do not excrete ever.

Deviations from standard laws defined in the real world are common in some genres of animation, in this case the Pokémon anime. Characters may sustain damage that normally would result in mortal injuries or immediate death, but instead are simply left soot-covered (in the case of explosions or incineration), disheveled, or fatigued. Characters may not age, whether or not time does actually pass within the fictional universe. In the Pokémon universe, main characters often mention weeks, months, or even a year to have passed, but themselves do not age. [[Ash Ketchum]], who at his [[EP001|debut]] was confirmed to be 10 years old,  [[BW001|remains at the age of 10 to this day]], despite the fact that episodes occasionally state weeks to have passed since the previous one.

A common deviation from normalcy in most fiction, especially that for children and young adults, is characters never seeming to require excretion of waste that humans in the real world require. Although references to bathrooms are made, characters may never be witnessed mentioning the need to use one, or attending one. This is usually due to the common societal taboo against discussing urination or defecation, and the fact that such references are needless filler in the context of most stories.
