So, I noticed something a bit stupid about the "Strength" Hidden Machine in the Pokemon games - the one that lets you move boulders.
Dragonair, a huge dragon-like pokemon that can do things like manipulate weather and shoot energy beams, can't use Strength...
But Pikachu, a little yellow mouse, CAN.

Weird, no?

This is just great. XD I guess I'd react the same if this were a real-life situation. XD But, although game-logic should not be questioned, I guess the sense lies in the fact that Dragonair doesn't has legs or arms while Pikachu does. Dragonite on the other hand can learn this HM, can't he? I don't remember... don't play with Dragonite for a very long time and I didn't evolve my Dratini yet.

Thank you kindly :D although I think I could improve on the artwork now, especially the perspective in the last panel, Pikachu looks a bit too big from that angle.

Ah, but gyarados can learn "strength" and they doesn't have any arms, so why not dragonair?
Yes, dragonite can learn strength, though usually I teach mine "fly" as it's a more useful move for getting around and in battle. I can't remember which of my main team I gave strength to in the end, possibly charizard, I think my heracross has rock-smash, my lanturn and dragonair both have surf and my scyther of course has cut. Other moves like flash and rock-climb I usually end up teaching to pokemon I don't use much otherwise since they're not used as much and not that useful in battle.

You are welcome! ^^ 2010, huh? Time sure do go by fast. I'm certain you can improve greatly, now. :)

True that. I forgot about Gyrados. You've got a point, there! I ain't got nothing to counter back that argument. :XD:

Sounds good! On my main team I taught Charizard Fly, Feraligator knows Surf and Cut, Electrode knows Flash, Lugia knows Waterfall (though that move is rarely ever used outside battle), Arbok has Headbutt and Onix (traded with an NPC in Cherrygrove at the beginning of the game) accidentally became an HM slave before I noticed. XD He knows Dig, Strength, Rock Climb and Rock Smash. I don't use him often, anyway. :shrug: And when I do it's against types he's strong against, like electric types, so Dig does the job quite easily.

Soon as I get my main team up to level 90, 95 or 100 if I have enough patience I'll store them and form a second team with my weaker Pokémon. They're on levels 40-50+ so I guess it will be nice. :) And I'll get to include my shiny Pidgeot in it!

Oh but we must, we must. I keep meaning to do one about pokemon interaction in heart-gold and soul-silver too.

But like the point of your comic, it's funny because it's true.
Observational humour is one of my favourite types of humour.

That dragonair must think that it needs limbs to use strength but, look at onix.
