Top 10 Things That Don't Make Sense In Pokemon

There's a lot of things that don't make sense in the world, like Donald Trump's brain, our government, and life in general. Not only it doesn't make sense in the real world, there's a lot of things that don't make sense in Pokemon. Today, I'll be listing that make the least sense in my opinion, as I continue to celebrate PokeMonth in my account.
The Top Ten
1 Hitting yourself in confusion

Do they become deaf and slap themselves or something? How can you hurt yourself when you are told to just look at the opponent (Mean Look/Leer/Scary Face/...)?

How does the Pokemon just hit himself for no reason?

I'm confused. Better hit myself in the face.

2 Scyther not learning Fly

IT HAS WINGS! Why can't it learn Fly?!

3 When your Pokemon is poisoned, every step you take, they lose HP
4 A male Gardevoir

Thank God, Game Freak gave Kirlia an evolution for the male version.

They're based on knights, not what you think they are

5 Zubat learning Mean Look
6 Pokemon that evolve by Trading

Me: Okay, I'll give you my Haunter for your Milotic.
Them: K.
*trades, Haunter evolves*
Them: Oh, I guess your Haunter didn't like you or something*walks off*

7 HM Moves

God, I hate giving up awesome moves on Pokemon because HM Moves take up space and can't be forgotten, unless you go to the Move Deleter, and find a Heart Scale to relearn the move.

8 A 10 year-old catching Arceus

Oh look the God of Pokemon! Oh wait, a ten year old just captured it! Makes sense!

9 Mew is the first pokemon in existence; Arceus created all pokemon
10 Pokemon Pronunciation
The Contenders
11 Ho-oh is in the VERY First episode of Pokémon: Pokémon, I choose you.

Ho-oh is in the Johto pokedex and I don't understand why it isn't in the Kanto one as it was first seen in Kanto

12 Unrealistic weights

For example an average Luxray's height is 1.4m, while an average lion's height is 1.2m shoulder wise. Despite Luxray being slightly larger than its counterpart, it is surprisingly light (42.0 kg). Lions in average are four to five times heavier than Luxray. I can bring up many examples but this one's most egregious.

13 Magikarp sweeping an entire team

My friend told me to do this one

14 Your Pokemon can use Dig on the water
15 Cosmoem's stats
16 Ash's age

Ash is still 10 after over 20 years of poke' mon. Cause that's anime logic for you.

17 All eggs look the same
18 Wooper can learn punching moves
19 Gastly can learn all the elemental punches
