Kids learning psychic powers doesn't make sense, but we don't go about questioning it
The funny thing is those kids that are learning psychic powers is actually explained in the canon for why they and others can learn psychic powers in the 1st place (there isn't as much real info on "how come," but the why part certainly is explained).
In fact, the reason for why Ness and Lucas being special in the 1st place is also explained (again, not much info for how come, but again why certainly is there), you have to love how in Mother 1 Giygas was afraid of someone appearing like Ness even still.
Mother 1 is fun btw and actually has a back story for its game in the NES times (which certainly is something), just saying.
My Gengar can explode, make the sun shine and summon electricity to strike his opponents
I could care less for how he manages it
Same applies to every other Pokemon
So, you must certainly seem ok with the 4 move limit then don't you? >_>
I still like how weather control is actually seen as something special in the pokedex for a few pokemon that can use it, but for some reason your common field mouse can do it if "trained right."
So with moves like Quick Attack, I'm guessing it's got some speed
Especially when it outpriotizes various Pokemon moves
Fun fact, 96 or so pokemon learn quick attack, which hardly means **** because it is the same for all of these “speed attack” moves. The fun fact though is that the users base speed ranges from 60-130 counting only
final form pokemon, if “speed” is how they learn the moves, then results certainly don’t match up.
Crobat’s 130 base speed which is a so called “symbol of agility” for some certain users in this thread for some reason doesn’t even learn quick attack or any priority based move naturally (as in by level, it is an egg move for example with quick attack).
So for this note, how come something like Masquerain manages to learn it? By level up even, I mean 60 speed isn’t much when the average stat in the pokemon world is considered 85 (yeah, just saying, that is considered the average IIRC in the metagame, so how is Pikachu “super fast” again when it only has a stat that is only a bit higher than that?).
Umbreon certainly doesn’t seem that fast as well. I mean Metagross is the only thing to learn bullet punch as well by level besides Scizor, and both of them certainly don’t have a “high speed” stat as well. Dewgong, Empoleon learning aqua jet? Come on!
There is clearly more to priority based attacks than just “speed,” general info about how aggressive certain pokemon could be sounds like a better trait to talk about them, because it certainly would explain how some of them learn it better.
In regards to lightning bolt, a Lightning storm covers a huge area. The electricity built up from a mass of Pikachu indicates their immense power as it can create an electrical storm
Yet, they never actually mention things like size, duration, or that stuff that is also important. I'm pretty sure it isn't something like a supercell thunderstorm is all that I'm saying. Especially when rain dance by itself pretty much only seems like a single cell.
In fact, based off the other info about it, this is what it sounds like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-mass_thunderstorm
If you don’t want to check the link, then note that I mean a very weak one, because it certainly doesn’t sound like Zapdoes and how it “for some reason” appears only when a severe thunderstorm is going on “dropping lightning” from the sky because it makes severe thunderstorms in the 1st place by just flying in general. Oh and you still have to love how Zapdoes learns the same “rain dance” move game play wise, you just do.
Imagine the power just one can possess
It certainly shouldn't be enough to use the move "rain dance" by itself, not when the dex says you need a group of them.
Louie's fall was from the height of a tree, onto soft snow given the indent he made in the snow
Not very notable

The ship also hit a tree (or tree branch, sense we have to be "super detailed about this apparently such as you seem to be trying to be with toxic, I really don't care about "the super detailed" part of stuff like this) which knocked him out of it in the 1st place while going at a super high speed, but whatever.
To add about Olimar, he ain't faster than ANY Pokemon
Spicy Spray makes Pikmin fast by the game's standards, but relatively slow from an overview perspective. He ain't gonna catch Pikachu
Already pointed out that 85 base speed is pretty much a 3/5 in the competitive stats, it certainly isn’t super speed, and I already talked about priority based moves.
Bitter Spray won't work on a Substitute for obvious reasons and Pikmin attacks probably won't make it easy to break when Pika can tank much greater hits than what Pikmin have to offer
Ah no to that “tanking thing,” what with considering how Pikachu’s defenses really are only comparable to weak
weak bug pokemon:
35 HP, 30 Defense, 40 Sp. Defense=105 total
Caterpie:
45 HP, 35 Defense, 20 Sp. Defense=100 total (I’d still take that just because of the HP)
Wurmple:
45 HP, 35 Defense, 30 Sp. Defense=110 total
Also, just also pointing that out
weak part really fast, fun fact, don’t look at some of the other low form bug pokemon. Oh and I like how you think Pikmin don’t break through much when they just so happen to bust apart metal based foes like for example the final bosses gear or that Man-at-legs foe.
Too add to a point I missed, Toxic poisons the opponent
I'm pretty darn sure animal crap doesn't poison upon impact wherelse a toxin of some sorts kinda does
So, why does every pokemon learn that again for the most part if you teach it? Plus Toxic is a "special poison" in the 1st place as well that is different from “other poison based moves that cause poison," like how as it builds it gets worse and worse to the point where you get KOed faster with it than just poison if you don’t remove the pokemon from the stuff. It certainly starts off weaker than "normal poison," but if you stick around it.
Oh **** I’m going to throw up just from writing about this, compared to a simple "whiff" of the stuff which almost makes me throw up 90% of the time at the wrong moment, like someone throwing it on me would be.
