The same reason why you can't just attack it and catch it without the flute, despite sleep status being a thing. The devs just did what they wanted and trying to apply any reason or logic to Pokemon is a mistake.
>trying to apply any reason or logic to Pokemon is a mistake
It’s a shame gamefreak is forced to change patterns and throw curveballs all because fans were too autistic and pattern-seeking
it's in Sleepiest Sleep before you play the flute
it's sleeping so hard that an awakening isn't enough and poke balls don't even recognize it as a capturable thing
It's been a really long time but was it explained why the Snorlax needed a very specific thing to wake it up? How about a berry? That could work since Snorlax are greedy fatfricks. What about attacking it?
I'd imagine the only reason the poke flute works is because the noise pisses the Snorlax off. If you used an Awakening he'd just go back to sleep again.
when I was 7 I got past the marowak ghost with a poke doll. I thought this was the solution to the puzzle until I was a teenager. sometimes being high IQ works in old pokemon games.
The Snorlax wanted to sleep. If you woke it up with an item, it would just go back to sleep. But it hates the sound of the Poké Flute so when you play it, Snorlax gets angry and attacks you.

I mean, my logic is Awakening is a medicine made to counter the numerous neuro toxins and other junk that causes the sleep in a Pokemon FROM a Pokemon. Snorlax is naturally a sleep, not even from using rest, so awakening doesn't work.
I feel this it wasn't sleeping. This Snorlax just felt like an absolute c**t today and decided to make it everyone's problem. Then you earrape it with a horrid flute and gets mad.
>Kanto
>being any good or having logical consistency
That was actually a message about existentialism, too deep for a kids game.
i think this is my favorite response to the roadblock pic i've seen

You can only use it on your own Pokemon. He should've just thrown a bunch of Pokeballs.

Snorlax will just eat the Awakening in its sleep

Berries didn't exist in gen 1

awakening works on rest why would it be different
You can catch sleeping mons when headbutting trees in gsc
Awakening wakes up those mons
What now?

>Awakening
This only works if Snorlax is a lord who becomes burdened with the tast to slay a evil dragon for a better future.
You can't use healing items on pokemon that aren't yours. You need a medical license for that.
