Dear Mr. Satoshi Tajiri,
Congratuations on your many seasons of the Pokemon cartoon and the many franchise that has sprung from this all-so-wonderful idea of yours. As such, if given the chance, i'ld like to have the chance to meet you in person, the man behind the whole Pokemon scene. I am, of course, a great big fan of Pokemon. Or well, used to be.
In any case, through my last 6 years, i've seen many types of Pokemon on TV and on Gameboy. Yet, one thing that disturbs me the most, is how pikachu can carry out that Thunder attack, and yet, electricity is used to electrocute the opponent. I mean, isn't Thunder the loud clap of sound that is produced when lighting sparks? So, shouldn't the opponent go deaf instead of being shocked by electricity?
Being the all-so-resourceful me, i've come up with a solution for you. See, we can say that pikachu has a sort of secret sibling that resides within the clouds. It is SO secret, even the pokedex isn't able to index it. No one has seen it or heard of it. So secret, even pikachu doesn't know about this sibling of it. How then, can this be a solution?
See, this sibling of pikachu is a nucleophile. So, each time pikachu uses Thunder, the strong sound waves are able to excite pikachu's siblings by heterolytic processes so much that it donates all its electrons to anyone below. Now, pikachu can't be hit, because those two little red dots on the face are nucleophiles(where do you suppose it gets it's thunder shock attack from?). Therefore, it'll hit the electrophile instead, which is the opponent! Or sometimes team rocket. Or sometimes Ash too, as seen in the first episode. Depends.
So you see, i've solved one of Pokemon's greatest mystery for you, Mr. Satoshi Tajiri. So, instead of the current 493 Pokemons, there'll be 494 Pokemons! One of which is like, unobtainable. Maybe you can name it after me, Benedict. I already have a solution named after me, why not name a Pokemon after me too?
So, until next time, when i write in about another mistake that you've made, bye!
Lots of love(and i really mean it),
Benedict.
