Pokémon sizes are NONSENSE - Pokémon Fact of The Day

[@pikmin937]

Who wants to ride a Charizard when you can soar through the sky on the back of a Wailord?

[@user-wm7mk2nt4d]

+pikmin937 He wouldn't float due to your weight... Actually you would split it in half...

[@joshuahadams]

+Rafa Márquez a majority of it's weight is probably collagen in it's skin, so it' doesn't pop.

[@matt391]

Raf Mar *Lol too bad, Wailord's pokedex entry says it can float because it has lots of oxygen in it's body.*

[@The73MPL4R]

[@xKryoxMan]

ToonLinkTactics 10"06" is enormous.

[@thomasjenkins7506]

*throws pokeball at joltik* *splat* aww....

[@LamanKnight]

Not that this will change how ridiculous a lot of sizes are, but sometimes it's important to recognize what measurement is probably being listed. For instance, winged Pokémon sometimes have a measurement that lists their wingspan, like how a bald eagle in real life often has a wingspan of about 6 feet (1.82 m), even though its body from head to toe is is about 3 feet (about 91 cm). Or for spherical Pokémon, it never really says if it's measuring the diameter or the circumference. I would assume it's the diameter, but still. And with Gastly, if the Pokédex is measuring its cloud as part of Gastly's body, then that would mean that its... head(?) isn't so monstrously huge. Still a lot of weird stuff in the Pokédex, though.

[@Taeufler]

Mewtwo is 6'7 which I'm not too surprised at. But given that Ash's Charizard, who is smaller than the average Charizard, is BIGGER than Mewtwo in the movie. Like how the fuck does that make sense. What the hell.

[@Sportsgamer92]

I've always thought that Ash's Charizard was bigger that average, around 6'11 based on its size relative to other pokemon, but looks small compared to other Charizard shown in the show, well those Charizard are just huge.

[@Sportsgamer92]

+Sportsgamer92, than*

[@princessdaisyaalia-porfiri3012]

Just Don't try to relate the anime to the games and it will make sense

[@LeonDelMansion96]

Venusaur, who is the smaller of the three in the anime, is apparently bigger than Charizard and Blastoise, and Mewtwo is a bit taller than most humans, yet in the anime is an average size and MUCH smaller than Blastoise and Charizard.

[@SlayerOfTears]

I love coming back to this, because of how absurd Pokemon sizes are.

[@MorganKing95]

Houndoom is 4' 7" (1.40 m). If that's in height, then it's twice as big as a Doberman and a lot bigger than a Great Dane Crobat is 5' 11" (1.80 m), and that's only a half inch smaller than me and about twice as big as an eagle. I would have been terrified if I saw it in real life Volcarona is 5' 3" (1.60), which is also terrifying even though it's meant to be a giant moth Drapion is 4' 3" (1.30 m), but just like Bulbapedia mentions, it seems to be twice as big in the anime

[@LeonDelMansion96]

Ummm, what's NOT terrifying about a giant moth? Ever seen the episode of Spongebob where he takes care of a butterfly? The close-up of that thing is HORRIFIC. If Pokemon were real, I would be terrified of Venonat and Buttefree because of the eyes. Probably Beedrill and Kakuna's eyes as well

[@MorganKing95]

+LeonDelMansion96 I know, it's just that since Volcarona is meant to be a giant moth, its giant size would be a "Well, duh" thing But yeah, I probably would have been scared to death if all of those bug - Pokémon were real

[@acegamer9347]

Crobat is taller than me……… WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@combativeThinker]

What's wrong with you? Volcarona is fluffy and adorable-not to mention warm and cuddly. It'd keep you nice and toasty on cold desert nights. The only insects you really need to fear are those with venom or powerful jaws and aggressive temperments.

[@spaceagequice4754]

Eevee: 1 foot Sylveon: 3 feet That's one hell of a growth spurt.

[@jamham69]

at least that's in the right direction though. the dragonair thing is baffling.

[@snekladyrobin]

@@jamham69 Dragonair is 13 feet LONG

[@Premislao89]

Always hated that sizes in pokemon aint in metric units

[@groovygower]

THIS. Especially in the European copies, which are meant to be regionalised.

[@Premislao89]

groovygower Maybe it was like that: They knew that people who use metric units will be too lazy to convert it to metric, but americans wont be able to do opposite. :P

[@groovygower]

Americans bothering to convert metrics to imperial? Bahaha - maybe in a different universe! FWIW, here in the UK we tend to know both but have shifted to primarily using metrics in the past decade (but we can still convert to imperial), although we've ditched Fahrenheit as we don't live in the Dark Ages any more.

[@Premislao89]

groovygower if i understood everything properly then - well said man! :D

[@groovygower]

Cheers! : D

[@W.E.N.D.I.G.O]

glalie isnt that surprising to me. i always thought it was 5ft. i cant imagine gastly to be that big. forreteress i thought as 3ft.

[@ceooffrog2683]

Svizer same it’s like galalie =5 forretress is like 3-4 ghastly is like a foor

[@icetheirken]

Hey that's what I commented!

[@seerofdoom6914]

Kyogre is somehow 3 feet taller than Groudon, and Primal Kyogre is over 32 feet long. Before it was only 14 feet, so it more than doubled in length.

[@Phraustt]

Larvesta: 3’07” and 63.5lbs. What the actual fuck. We're talking about a bug that most small children would be incapable of lifting.

[@BeautifullyDarkened]

Guys, Wailord can fly....thats fucking terrifying

[@vargasyojhan]

So True

[@mitchl5167]

Calm down, it's not that heavy.

[@BeautifullyDarkened]

800+ plus pounds is still heavy

[@BigBahss]

SweetenedInsanity But it doesn't really matter if the thing floats lol

[@BeautifullyDarkened]

Lol yea

[@inthegrass11]

Golbat is 1.6m (5’3”) and I feel extremely uncomfortable with that Like imagine being 10 years old and you’re walking through a dark cave and this giaNT GREAT FLYING THING JUST STARTS ATTACKING YOU

[@Ghost72091]

Pokemon making no sense since gen 1..

[@KrimsonVagus]

I get the impression that Wailord is designed like a submarine, but functions more like a zeppelin LOL 8-)

[@ThatOneShortieHo]

Wait... Drantini is 5'11???? THAT'S MORE THAN ME!!!! I'm like.. 4'10 or something... I THOUGHT IT'D BE LIKE, 2 FEET OR SOMETHING! HOLY SHIT

[@TheSilverwing999]

I've heard a few of these before, but wailord being a blimp and glalie + gastly being the size of that huge beach ball blew my mind haha

[@coolsmiles4247]

Samurott is my favorite Pokemon. Me: Should be around 5' tall, right? Pokedex: Samurott: 4'11 Me: 5'4 1/2 😨 Me: *flips nearest table*

[@derpytubester9866]

Bidoof: 1'8" and 44.1 lbs. Reasonable. Bulbasaur: 2'4" (reasonable) and 15.2 LBS?!?!?!? WHAT? 15.2?!?!?!? REALLY?!?!?!?

[@avatarmary]

I always figured the pokedex sizes and the anime were guidelines for either end of the spectrum

[@Akari-br7ci]

I think the height/weight in the Pokedex is for domestic pokemon bred and raised for the purpose of Pokemon batting, not wild pokemon. In the anime all the Charizard in the Charizard valley were wild Charizard, which is why they were all so much bigger and stronger than Ash's Charizard, who was always intended to go to a trainer

[@psychronia]

Apparently, a Lairon is as tall as a Magikarp and an Arbok is as long as...Groudon.

[@DemonicMonkey88]

3:55 that's obvious. You go from an eel, to a dragon. It shrinks, yet expands!

[@ryanlemon1160]

And we know know that Batman could bench a Wailord.

[@SideOfSatan]

Of course I can. You doubting me?

[@eldritchangel4058]

I like how Legends Arceus, as well as Scarlet, and Violet solve this issue by giving all pokemon a variation in size. Clarifying that the official size is just the average.

[@CarrotBottom1]

According to a BMI calculator, Sableye is obese. Lol :)

[@FloofinsTwitch]

Noctowl was part of my Elite 4 line up in Gen 2, and I always pictured him being the size of.... y'know, an owl? Something that could perch on my shoulder or arm. Turns out that sucker is 5 feet tall. My Nowctowl is as tall as I am! No WONDER I can use him to fly across Johto!

[@jamesdinius7769]

Well, Noctowl always looked pretty big to me, but certainly not that large. I would have guessed like 3".

[@Huvagach]

Noctowl is an owl, obviously. Owls can get fairly large as birds but you would imagine it'd still be relatively small. At 5'3", Noctowl is the same height as me. Can't complain. It's a big floofy owl and now I know it's at a nice huggable size.

[@JonnySpec]

I'm a short guy (I'm 5'4'' and 145 lbs), so... **hops on his Charizard's back and flies away lol**

[@MaMastoast]

this video is very hard to relate to, seeing as you only use feet and inches and my brain has no concept of these lengths.. like.. I can look em up, but I dunno when I seeea number

[@LeonDelMansion96]

Well he is American, so he'd use our method of measurement...People in Europe would most likely use meters instead, although including both is the best way to go

[@darkishweb]

+LeonDelMansion96 Yea. America is the only country that doesn't use the metric system.

[@raivaun7]

+The Baby Kangaskhan Gaming What about Myanmar (Burma)

[@darkishweb]

?

[@middykins7963]

+The Baby Kangaskhan Gaming There are 3-4 countries without metric system... But USA is the only Rich country without it

[@Marblez3]

And there you have it. Dont. Read. The. Pokedex.

[@tetsiga45XxX]

So Wailord can float in air? (hops on Wailord and ascends to the heavens) FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!

[@MNIEofficial2009]

This was made before Dynamax was a thing.

[@MaeriberiiUsami]

Ninetales. I expected it to be about as big as a person but no. It's only 3'07". -.-

[@jonathanmiller4188]

Excuse me? Blastoise is 5' 03'' and 188.5 lbs. Lighter and shorter than JWittz. Really?

[@TigerleapStalker]

Wut? LOL

[@reneecoppock4404]

OMG

[@nathaliesanchez8483]

What if the sizes and weights for the Pokémon are just the averages?

[@XclassroomweaponryX]

That's a lot of freaking tiny Charizards. They are also rare and don't reproduce much so over 7/8s of the population of them would be fully grown. I very much doubt this is the case.

[@ninten90z70]

Pokedex entries were canonically revealed as being inaccurate and subject to the personal opinion of the pokedex entry author multiple times. So, basically, wikipedia with lower standards. Also many entries are based entirely on speculation and rumors without any verifiable or reliable sources. So, when reading a pokedex entry, just see it for what it is. Flavor text.

[@DonC202]

Hey JWittz, maybe due to the environment that the Charizard is raised from Charmander to adulthood(Charizard) It varies it's size, similar to things in real life. I'm estimating that the Pokedex goes off of "Average" Sizes instead of Sizes developed by environment, breeding, power, ect., ect. If we look at how Ash's Charizard was a runt compared to all of the ones in the Charific Valley, but then grew LARGER THAN CHARLA after awhile in the Charific Valley, we can say that environment and a Pokemon's diet truly determines size and weight of the Pokemon. As you mentioned, the anime had varying sizes of Pokemon, however there was never any given reason for this, ever notice that some people aren't baffled at sizes of slightly to moderately larger Pokemon? This leads me to believe that this is the case.

[@DonC202]

It’s been 6 years and no one has honestly tried to initiate a debate or conversation. I’d love to discuss this further...
