Am I really the only person in the Pokémon fandom that really hates the way how Pokémon battles are portrayed in the anime?! Pokémon moves don’t work how they should have worked from the games! Buffing or debuffing moves causing damage or reflecting moves! Abilities most of the time not activating or Trainers not utilizing them! Held items and battle and healing items never used in battles! Pokémon taking damage from other Pokémon that should be immune! Every Pokémon battles outside of tournaments always have to be a sport with rules and a referee like 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, etc! Trainers instructing their Pokémon do complicated tactics and strategies that most of them shouldn’t be able to comprehend or understand! Tactics and strategies that are just flat out ridiculous and nonsensical! And the biggest problem of all, strong Trainers being defeated by weak newbie Trainers! I cannot be the only one in the fandom that has a problem with that level of BS! Geeta vs Liko, Roy, and Dot anybody?! You know?! The Top Champion of Paldea against freshly new Trainers?! And don’t give me the crap like how Geeta is the worst Champion ever! You only think she suck cause we, the players, have plot armor and we over leveled our Pokémon! Don’t f**king lie! You all know we did it! In universe, she’s the strongest Champion-ranked Trainer in Paldea, possibly in the world no matter what type of Pokémon she uses, and yet she loses to Trainers with little to barely experiences in battles! Unbelievable! The only Pokémon anime that portrays Pokémon battles perfectly is Origins, Generations, Evolution, and pretty much every spinoff on YouTube!

And that's the thing. The anime is nothing like the games. It's all to tell a story, if the storyboard artist had to take into a pokemon stats, abilities, and if that Pokemon is capable of doing certain things we wouldn't have Ashs creative battle style and how he would get out of situations.

I get what your saying about Lockstin. But when he pulls out strong evidence to it you just got to except that it's fact like with the video about Swollot, Baxcalibir, or heck even with his video about other monster taming games. But I digress
Okay so going by your logic, without mentioning what said Pokemon is based on IRL, what would the concept given form for pokemon like Froslass, Decidueye, the Misdreavus line, the Litwick line or even Hisuian Typhlosion be?

Like I said, their concepts given form by either their surroundings, other life forms, or a combination of both. For an example, Froslass is the concept of the story of the yuki-onna given form with infinite energy with the imagination from either by the author who thought up the story or by millions of people who read and/or believed in the story. Or another example, Yamask is the manifestation of a person’s dark past. Before the person dies, they subconsciously build up their infinite energy with their fears, anxiety, depression, and despair so much that when they die, the infinite energy is transformed into a Yamask. There are lots of examples I can use for my case, but I don’t feel like it.

I said don't used their real world inspirations. You used the Yuki-Onna for Froslass and Yamask is that dead ancient human. It's Black/Black 2 dex literary says it arose from graves. Your making it seem like Infinity energy has some sort of bring your imagination to reality like power. We only know a few things about infinity energy. It's used in mega evolution, Pokemon use it for elemental attacks, and its what spilt the time line of the games (ORAS and USUM are the starting points of this). We don't know if it as any sort of influence on like that. Terra energy is the only thing, in theory, that has that sort of imagination ability. I'm not a fan of the time machine was a "imagination machine" or whatever but I still look into the theory to stay up to date.
