Would Pokemon actually watch TV?

I've been playing Channel for no reason (okay, there is. Starts with J, ends with I, and has 'irach' in the middle), and I began to wonder if Pokemon WOULD actually watch any form of TV.

I don't think they would, if the dreck on Channel is anything to go by. Plus what about Rotom? It would just screw with the set. :P
 
Well, my parrot watches tv, so I'd imagine some could. I think it may depend on their eyes, if they could see the frame rate without getting a headache (Psyduck doesn't count).
 
If you put a baby in front of the tv, it will watch it, it doesnt nessecarily understand it.

And I can imagine a Machamp watching one of those workout programs....

Pokémon would definetly watch tv.
 
I wonder what would happen if a Pokemon watched Electric Soldier Porygon.

For porygon it may cause system failure, but porygon 2 is a patched version..

so it doesn't shut-down when it sees that crazy version of what the writers picture the internet looks like.
 
If a Pokémon watched Electric Soldier Porygon, I have no idea what would happen. Do Pokémon get epilipsy?

I watched it (downloaded it from the internet) and I was fine. Except that I had no idea what they were talking about, as it was never translated.
 
Many pokémon seem to have a human like intelegence. (though in some cases child like) So I think they would watch TV, providing there was something they liked on.
 
But what would they like?

I imagine they'd vary between Slowpoke (likes the moving colors and pleasing noises) and MewTwo (human programming is beneath notice). In the middle? Pikachu. Dislikes sports, likes the Food Netwokr.
 
*imagines his Rayquaza watching television*

I certainly wouldn't want to turn off the TV if he was watching something! :XD2:
 
That's cute, BP!

Wonder what he's saying?

My LG team's favorite shows/channels:

Serena (Persian)-Anything on the Food Network

Amy (Dewgong)-Wild Discovery

Raye (Ninetales)-Pokemon Planet (the Pokeworld equal to Animal Planet)

Lita (Pikachu): "Shinouian Idol", "The Planet's Funniest Pokemon", cartoons and anime

Mina (Pidgeot): Discovery Wings channel

Trista (Kadabra): Game Show Network (Especially Match Game reruns), History Channel, some anime
 
I don't know if some Pokémon would even be able to watch tv. I don't think dogs can see television images (my dog, who freaks out at the drop of a hat, has no reaction if there's something on the television), so arcanine, snubble, and other canine Pokémon would probably be indifferent to a television set.
