Here's why:
* No Water-Type Pokemon: You don't control a Water-type Pokémon directly. Your main character is a human (or a Pokémon depending on the game) who uses moves learned from other Pokémon.
* No Water-Type Moves: While you can learn moves like Water Gun, Bubble, or Hydro Pump, there's no dedicated "Surf" move available.
* Navigating Water: You can still traverse water areas, but you do it by walking or jumping across them, similar to how you navigate other terrain.
Instead of Surf, you might use moves that help you reach otherwise inaccessible areas:
* Fly: Allows you to fly over obstacles, including bodies of water.
* Dig: Enables you to dig underground, allowing you to bypass water obstacles.
* Jump: Can be used to leap over small bodies of water.
So, while you can't use Surf in the traditional sense, you have other options to explore water areas in the game.
