How did the Pokemon's tears resurrect Ash in the first movie?
The truth is that the Anime of Pokemon gives it's own perspective on the world of Pokemon, meaning the writers end up making up whatever they want about them. You could find TONS of things that were made up with hardly an explanation within the first season of the Pokemon Anime.
So, the writers made up a legend about how the sadness of Pokemon can bring one that is dead back to life. They have been using it since the first movie, just portraying it in different ways each time someone dies.
So yeah, blame the writers on that one.
My friend told me Ash gave away all his original pokemen in the TV show. Why'd he do that.
First off, he never technically GAVE THEM AWAY. To give them away would mean for the Pokemon to get nothing in return, be given a completely different owner and to really have no purpose at all. The ONLY Pokemon that falls under this is Beedrill. As for the rest...
Butterfree: Butterfree was released and so that it could mate and start a family.
Haunter: Haunter was never really Ash's Pokemon to begin with, as he never caught the Pokemon. Haunter decided to stay with Sabrina on it's own accord to keep her happy.
Primeape: Primeape was given to a trainer who specialized in Fighting Pokemon and so that it could get stronger. It still technically belongs to Ash. He just needs to call it up when the time comes.
Pidgeot: Pidgeot was released and so that it could watch over a flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto that are often attacked by Spearow and Fearow.
Squirttle: Squirttle was returned to it's old gang as they needed it to become the great fire fighting squad they are today. Squirttle can return to help Ash any time it wants. This was proven in one episode where Ash used Squirttle to take on Frontier Brain, Brandon.
Lapras: Lapras never really belonged to Ash. It was still technically an infant and was returned to it's family after beating a bunch of poachers.
Charizard: Charizard was left in the Charicific Valley to train alongside other Charizard and become stronger. It still belongs to Ash and can return to him at anytime.
Larvitar: Larvitar was never truly Ash’s and was always destined to return to its Tyranitar mother since it hatched.
Aipom: Aipom was traded to Dawn and so that it could compete in contests as Ash was never interested in them. Aipom later evolved into Ambipom. In the Japanese series, it was released to become a Ping-Pong Tournament Champion.
As for any Pokemon we don't see after certain regions are done, they are living peacefully at Professor Oak's Lab, waiting to be called upon if Ash feels he ever needs them.
Hope you can explain that all to your friend.
