Crystal Clair's Pokemon hair rant (humor)

Let me start by saying that since I've been cutting down on Pokemon lately, I haven't been here much and have been busy at my two Zelda forums and 4chan. However, Pokemon isn't completely gone from my life. I still love Shinji and think of the other characters.
First of all, this hair is messed up to begin with. Ayako's hair is one globe with the front parted. It's like she's wearing a fucking helmet on her head.
The thing that bugs me is the blue matter right behind her ear. How does the globe attack to her scalp? There's no texture drawn like there usually is. At least with Clair and Jessie, we knew it was hair and not just blue matter.
The way it sticks out. I feel like walking into the show and tying her hair to her head

Now she looks nice and normal. Too bad it'll go back to normal when she unties the knot.
A lot of people tend to think that her hair is dyed. Some people compare it to a Yu Gi Oh character's hair. And even on a chatrom when I showed the chatters a picture of Natane taking out the black stuff and it being a headband, they asked why she was taking a part of her hair out of her head.
and poor Clair. What the fuck is her hair supposed to be based on?! It looks like a Pokemon contest ribbon

however, she was a gen 2 gymleader and contests didn't come in that form until gen 3.
And the logic behind her hair is fail too. How is she supposed to have enough air for a ponytail that thick when she used up so much of it for the ribbon set up and that thing of hair in the center.
How her hair could work if applied to real life physics:
It could be done by using wires and clear hair bands like the ones the Barbies come with. With hairspray, wires and clear bands, aand a snap-on ponytail with wires in it, her hair could be pulled off in real life. But who the fuck wants to go through that trouble. Unless it's a contest on who could go through the most effort for a Pokemon character's hairdo, I don't see anyone going through that crap.
Oh yeah and let's not forget Misty's hair; the hair that is too short for a ponytail when down but can be made into a successful side ponytail (although with a bunch of shorter hairs left over)

Dahlia of the Battle Frontier from Shinou
are they gonna give her that gradient hair in the anime? And are they going to ever define the strands ever? It's a pain in the butt to draw. But it'd be cool to see Pokemon finally do the gradient crap that anime like Haruhi and Potemayo have been doing forever.
Hikari's hair also has some flawed logic too. It'd be acceptable if the little lock of hair in the back were shorter or even equal to the rest of her hair but it's clearly longer, both in much of her anime art and in her plastic action figure.

And last we come to Mary
Both her front fringe and her back part are tough to define. Her fringe looks spiky, and really weird for spiky hair if you know what I mean. Plus her hair in back is sometimes portrayed as a bob but sometimes it's more rounded to make it look like it's what Butch's hair is.
