You are expected put some thought into why your position is illegal and it should not be immediately obvious.

Black has captured something with a Pawn, but White still has all his men.
yup
but eve if he were missing a pawn he would've had to capture at least one white person.

I can see you tried hard to create an illegal position that would make us think it might be legal without a careful analysis. This one was not too successful, but keep trying.
