Why is it when Abra suddenly evolves into Kadabra he gets a spoon? Or better yet when he evolves into Alakazam he gets another one? Its not like Slowpoke with Cloyster because he does not need the spoons to evolve he gets them AFTER he evolves. I suppose it could be assumed people who train Kadabras just carry extra spoons around but I doubt it.
 
Sorry to double post but I felt I should explain why I put this in the Real Word section of the board and its because I felt it was a question that would be hard to explain in the real world unlike the anime where they pave over some explanations if it needs to be moved please do. =)
 
(You could've just edited that into your first post you know...)

Anyways, I just assume Kadabra just feels the urge to have something like a spoon on his hand, like these times you wave a pencil through your fingers or whatever. Becouse they have psychic abilities, they probably just teleport the nearbiest object they can find.

A spoon would be preffered becouse probably its easier to chanalize psi into it.

Alakazam need another becouse this urge to have something like a spoon in their hands might have something to do with the use of their mind, so they can concentrate better or something.
 
I've always wondered how they get those spoons. Maybe the spoon grows out of their hand? I doubt that, though.
 
I know in the Pokemon Special Manga, Blaine's Mewtwo fights with an enormous spoon as well. Its spoon seems to be formed of psychic energy that is somehow solidified. I guess I always carried it over to Kadabra to figure that its spoon wasn't an actual piece of silverware but some object formed of psychic energy designed to look like a spoon.
 
It isn't just Kadabra's Spoons to consider... There's also Cubone/Marowak's Bone, Farfetch'd's stick, Hypno's pendulum...

It's because Pokémon that were created in the first generation weren't designed in mind with them eventually breeding.

Same thing goes for multibodied Pokémon like Exeggcute or Pokémon that appear to wear clothing.
 
Thanks for all your answers but question was more where he got them not why he needed them I believe Vibuze had the best explanation but the one Ling Ling put up after that was a close second.

Back when pokemon was still in its first season I believe they explained Cubone and Marowak's skull helmet and bone club as being from thier mothers grave however like most of you said this was before breeding where you could infact have Cubone JR and Mommy Marowak on the same team which would then make that explanation not make any sense unless the trainers had been operating on thier pokemon =). Also I find Farfetch'd's stick more easy to believe than Hypnos Pendulum or Kadabra's spoon as they can be found in nature while the former two objects cant be. I did however still like the explenation that they where created by the pokemons PSI energy given earlier. Also the multibodied thing isnt that odd to me as just one of them may be mating or they may all pair off however the clothes part would be harder to explain does anyone know a general list of pokemon that wear clothes I can only think of Jinx and Mr.Mime(Who cleary was made before breeding was thought of) because if all of the pokemon with clothes are Psychic types then maybe the Psychic ability excuse could be made for that to.

I think you're right.
 
I just go with the belief that the Spoon and Pendulum are the physical manifestations of Kadabra and Hypno's powers. It makes sense since the Twisted Spoon item actually raises psychic powers, and the dex entry that states that a Kadabra/Alakazam's power is greatly weakened when their spoons are taken away.

Besides, in the games, those things actually become held items for the Pokemon to acquire. Not all Pokemon of the species have them, however, I believe that the sprites are kept with those items in hand just for the sake of tradition.

Not only Psychic Pokémon. What about Machoke and Machamp's trunk and belt?
 
See I forgot about Machokes power save belt and dont they both wear speedo like things?. They would also be on the hardest articles of clothing/items to explain because they are not natural nor are those pokemon psychic types the speedo might be able to be explained as being apart of thier body as they are never seen with out that article of clothing. However the powerbelt in the anime is stated to help Machoke control it powers along with the fact that Machokes like to stare at themselves in mirrors. I imagine if the anime or games did come up with an explanation of the belts it would be that Silph Co. or a similar company in the pokemon universe makes them however that would not explain how the pokemon get them when they evolve and I cant think of an explanation myself so any ideas?
 
My theory is that Psychic type pokemon are really possessive: Spoink cherishes it's ball, Slowking and it's crown, Mewtwo and his clone army. Even the move "Trick", psychic pokemon only developed for their own greedy intentions. They aren't very nice when it comes to items... so I say when Abra evolves it develops kleptomaniac symptoms. Wild Kadabra steal spoons from towns and break them when they get bored (If they are owned by a trainer, they steal them from the trainer). Then they make people forget that they ever had spoons. Alakazams are even better, they steal two spoons and brag about it to the other Kadabras and Abras in which they get jealous and train to get stronger such that one day they can steal two spoons as well. They should learn to share like pokemon like Aipom, Cubone, and Chansey. Pokemon who happily share their items with others.

So the moral of the story? All magicians are thieves.

Then what about Machoke and Machamp? Are you saying I shoudn't love Psychic-types? I'm not really that mad, I just want to know if you are saying I shouldn't like them. My poor babies would cry if they read this. (Not trying to be mean, but I'm sorry if I offended you. I'm not that mad, just a little annoyed, please don't feel too bad, what you said is nothing compared to other things) I love them and there is nothing you can ever do about it. Psychic-types are just as sweet and lovable as Aipom, Cubone, and Chansey. So Trick is a mean move? What about Torment or Taunt??? Or Theif? My Kadabra loves me and would never steal from me. You should see The Bells are Singing. Imagine what would happen if James read that. He would be crushed you think his Chimecho and Mime Jr. are like that. Can someone please be nice to Psychic-types for once? I understand you meant no offence, and I know you are probably sorry about this. If it wasn't for Mesprit, Aipom, Cubone and Chansey won't share their things. Mesprit is a Psyhic-type. I'm really sorry that I may sound too harsh. Those "kind" Pokemon would not be too smart if it wasn't for Uxie, another Psyhic-type. They won't have the will to share their things if it wasn't for Azelf. Yet another of my favorite type. I am actually pretty offended. Cresselia shares good dreams with the world.

lol, not I'm not saying that, lol.

As for Machoke and Machamp, all of their belts are fakes. They've evolved an advanced hip bone structure and extra durable skin. Fossil records on Machop is that they use to constantly suffer from groin kicks from normal and dark pokemon, so it evolved a layer of skin padding to protect from that. This padding resembles shorts. The belt-shaped bone also protects from cheap shots to the gut from dark pokemon.

Modern Machoke and Machamp use that belt as a form of bragging however, to other pokemon to prove that they are the strongest pokemon, unfortunately we all know this is just their lies as the pokemon only has a base attack of 130, making it much weaker than it's lazier rivals. Their boasting knows no bounds as well, constantly bragging about being a "Super Hero" pokemon when they lack the ability to fly or use gadgets. Knowing this one we can't help though, because people believe anything they hear as it's been recorded in most pokedexes as a "Superpower Pokemon"...
