delete all the Pokeman articles, because we can't find any academic sources'.
And I think that's a mistake. I think it's a mistake to treat different
realms of knowledge as if they are some how fundamentally the same."
IOW, one should not expect that the normal laws of physics should be
imposed on Pokémon characters.
