But seriously, being hotter than the sun isn't much more bullshit than anything else we get in Pokemon.
Magcargo burning at 18000F degrees is so unrealistic that not only does it kill the Willing Suspension of Disbelief, it ties it up, beats it with a baseball bat, cuts it up in tiny little pieces, and mails them to it's mother one by one. It's that bad.

If if he can contol whether he burns or not it shouldn't matter how high his body temp is.
No, the Willing Suspension of Disbelief was shattered we leant that Machamp could punch 1000 times in 2 seconds.

Still better than PEFE though.
Hooray! Bubble Party!
That too.
Actually, no, not at all, quite the opposite. If there's anything wrong with PEFE, it's that sometimes it's too realistic.

MM, just my position:
2000F slug made of living magma that can will not to burn somebody is cool.
Same slug being 18000F is bull.
No, it's not.
Exactly. I'd take 18000F heat over trying to twist everything in the games into being realistic.

There's a difference between being unrealistic and being horrible exaggerated and mind-blowingly stupid.
No way, it's a slug carrying a rock on it's back

Again with the burn-control thing...
And there's not really that kind of line in Pokemon. It's all over the top.
No, it is. Macargo and Machamp aren't the only Pokemon with some crazy feats. Phanpy is strong enough to send people flying and it's not even 2 ft tall. God is a Pokemon. Rhyhorn can destroy tall buildings, etc.
Hooray! Bubble Party!
Blaziken can leap thirty stories high. Charizard's fire is hot enough to melt boulders.
Still, everything pales in comparison to the freaking 18000F degrees.
"I like girls, but now, it's about justice."
Nah. The world of Pokemon is just one that's crazy and over-the-top.
Hooray! Bubble Party!
Magcargo-hate bias, much?

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

It's not just Pancake, it's the whole "GRAAAH PEFE SUXXX AND IS STOOPID!" thing.

Gee, way to misrepresent me Anom.

I don't hate Magcargo, but that's as much as the freakin' sun!
It's okay, to not like things.
It's okay.
But don't be a dick about it.
It's okay, to not like things.
Don't be a dick about the things you don't like.
Oh lawd how I love that video .

^Meta doesn't matter. (not to mention that 18kF doesn't matter in meta either :V)
