That's every RPG ever

Sleep in a bed

Wow, I'm all better. My lost limbs have sporadically regenerated and I am not missing several pints of blood and several pounds of flesh

But you're the one who's sleeping, not your Pokemon. And by that logic, shouldn't a Pokemon who's asleep recover HP over time when you're not battling?

Logic kind of goes out the window in Pokemon

At least sensible, not internal logic

If you try to pretend Pokemon has any sort of logic or timeline to it apart from Crystal happens after Red/Green, you're kidding yourself. The series is a mess of retcons upon retcons because there was never really much hard "plot" to begin with.

Do you remember the time machines?

Because I remember the time machines.

There's also a wee bit of an abstraction that everyone knows-

In that pokemon only faint in battle.

Despite being cut up, or struck by lightning, or crushed by an avalanche.

"Ooh dear. You seem to have given my Pachirisu severe lacerations with your Scyther. It's a good thing he only faints, and doesn't die from bleeding out or I'd be in real trouble. 'Cause it's shiny"

The fainting thing was a translation thing. Japanese text says they are too wounded to keep fighting, but that's too many words for the small boxes to fit, so "fainted" was used.

@Jam: Yes there were. So you could trade from GSC to RBGY, set two years in the past. But you had to only have Gen I Pokemon in your party because the newer Pokemon hadn't been discovered yet and you could cause a time paradox. They warn you very thoroughly about that.

But come Gen III and the FRLG remakes, they seem to have thrown that out the window.

[up]That.
