Answer 1

We're all good at something. Game Freak is good at a lot of things, just not good at being logical. It's okay Game Freak, we have our strengths and weaknesses. :3

What Polite Patamon said, Game Freak's logic completely deprives the logic of the Pokemon series with it's logic. My initial thought was, along with CWegz said, was that it must grind the Pokemon with it's gears. So yeah. Game Freak Logic. We luv ya Game Freak! ;3

Hope I helped. :)
