I was confused at this line itself, until I looked up the PokeDex entry. To save further confusion:
"Because it is very proud, it hates accepting food from people. Its thick down guards it from cold."

You know what confuses me?

Why Japanese videogame companies tend to release games in Japan first, or even don't release it in America at all.

Even the worst selling games in America, tend to sell at least twice as many copies, purely based on America's higher population and higher percentage of gamers.
...Because it's easier for them to get it to Japan then America?

I'm pretty sure it's because localizations can be expensive, although I could be wrong.

... If you're serious, there's no way she's really over 150. The oldest person ever was only 122 years old.

Is it odd the first thing that I thought of when I read this was Frank Zappa?

WAY back in Biblical times, people could live to be over 900 years.

No wonder God lowered the maximum life span. If everyone could live for over 900 years, there'd be overpopulation!

A lot of games aren't localised because it's expensive to translate and promote, and it may not pay for itself/make a profit.

See: Princess Maker series.
