(→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.) |

* During some of the battles in the anime, the Pokémon stay in the air longer than usual despite their weight, either when using attacks or receiving attacks (not including Pokémon that fly naturally). This is evident in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' when {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} battles against [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bronzor}} and actually can be seen floating. | * During some of the battles in the anime, the Pokémon stay in the air longer than usual despite their weight, either when using attacks or receiving attacks (not including Pokémon that fly naturally).

** On a similar note, many attacks do not move at the speed they normally would (or should), sometimes even leaving enough time for characters to have a three or four sentence conversation. An example is in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]''. {{an|Barry}} has his {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} use {{m|Hydro Pump}} a few seconds before Ash's Chimchar uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, and they clash in the exact middle of the battlefield. This could just mean that that Flamethrower accelerates much quicker, but before the attacks even collide, Jessie gets in several lines of dialogue. | ** On a similar note, many attacks do not move at the speed they normally would (or should), sometimes even leaving enough time for characters to have a three or four sentence conversation.

* In ''[[Like It or Lup It!]]'', [[Dawn's Piplup]] uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} while spinning in the air. Defying the laws of physics, Piplup manages to "float" in the air while releasing the bubbles which spin around Piplup when BubbleBeam is supposed to travel in a straight direction, not floating around slowly. | * In ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'', [[Dawn's Piplup]] uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} while spinning in the air.

* 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. | * 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).

** In ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', Team Rocket is already flying when the episode starts and they don't land during the episode. | ** In ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', Team Rocket is already flying when the episode starts and they don't land during the episode. | ||
