10 Things That Still Bother Me About Pokemon Red/Blue

I love Pokemon.  It's great, all the games, Gen 1 through today.  No one's disputing that.  But as much as I loved the Gen 1 games, there's a lot of questions that logically just don't make sense.

1. The Town Drunk

He hasn't had his "coffee".  Sure.  I lay down in the middle of the road when I don't have my coffee too.  This guy is clearly either hungover or still drunk and is just lying in the road blocking anyone from leaving.  The bigger question is, why aren't any of the other townspeople helping him?

2. Giovanni Takes A Lot Of "Vacations"

As we all now know, Giovanni was the head of Team Rocket.  He was also the Gym Leader in Viridian as a cover.  Before he was unmasked as the head of Rocket though, whenever you would go to the Viridian Gym guard, the guard would tell you that the gym leader is out of town.  Didn't anyone put two and two together that Giovanni was leaving town the same days that Team Rocket would strike?  No one at the gym ever asked him, "Boss, you leave a lot and when you do...you're not...you know...in Team Rocket or anything, right?"
3. Snorlax

There are 2 Snorlax in the game--probably to give the idiot who forgot to save and accidentally killed one a second chance. They're both asleep in the cross of two major paths forcing you around the long way from city to city.  But the Snorlax gets woken up when you play it the pokeflute, which begs the question: WHY DOESN'T ANYONE ELSE JUST PLAY IT THE POKEFLUTE?  I mean, this has to be inconveniencing people other than freeloading pokemon trainers. There aren't THAT many roads in pokemon to begin with, so you have to imagine most of the shipping traffic has been stalled by this enormous sleeping cat that no one seems to know how to move..  Get him out of there and have him sleep in a big field somewhere.

4. Bill

What the hell kind of experiments is Bill performing where he's trying to turn himself into a pokemon and you need to turn him back?  That seems like the kind of thing a new generation of the game would make the major conflict.  Bill turns on humanity and uses his machine to turn all the world into pokemon.  Did I just out Nintendo's big secret for their next release?

5. Masterballs

The ball that can capture any pokemon.  Without work.  Without having to endanger your pokemon in battle, potentially hurting them.  I get it that the prototype needs to be entrusted to one sound minded individual.  But after it was proven to work, wouldn't they mass-produce the hell out of that?  Corporate greed would just take over!  How has that not happened yet?

Could it be that by keeping the product limited to only one it will drive up hype and the need for Masterballs in the future?  Is the Silph Company manipulating the pokemon industry with it's most powerful and useful product?  Is the Masterball the pokemon universe's equivalent of the IPhone 6?

These are the questions that the Silph Company doesn't want answered.
