The ULTIMATE Charizard Quiz! Show of the Weekend: We Read Pokemon Magazine (Again)

[@sleepytime999998]

Luke picturing himself as Ash standing next to a Charizard, and forgetting that 11 year old children are smaller than he is, is adorable.

[@cebbi1313]

I imagine Luke regularly gets stuck in playground toys

[@youkofoxy]

Actually, most humans are smaller that him.

[@Se7en2107]

Tbf, Charizard are a lot shorter than they first appear.

[@woodneel]

Charizards in the mirror are closer than they appear

[@Alovatololo]

Game lore and anime lore isn't the same. Ash's charizard is upwards of 6 ft tall. And it was shorter than the average charizard shown in that one episode where he went to the place with several charizard. The magazine seemed to be doing game dex entries.

[@NimbleTack]

The question about Tyranitar made me wonder how much Luke plays Pokemon though.... He remembers the type of Heracross, but not Tyranitar or Exeggutor? lol wut? Tyranitar vs Charizard? Charizard has a double weakness to rock attacks, and that's Tyranitar's type: rock/dark! And seriously he actually thought Eggy was POISON?!?!?!!? No, it's Psychic. As for whether Charizard is a dragon? it's in the dragon egg group! conceptually yes, it Is a dragon, but not dragon TYPE!

You can see Luke’s mind implode when he learned how tall Charizard really is.

[@backonlazer791]

The size of Charizards fluctuates a lot, but they are normally around the size of a human (remember that Ash is still a kid). An avarage Charizard definitely doesn't weight nearly a ton, although there might be some that do.

[@backonlazer791]

I don't want to crush Luke's hopes and dreams, but I got all the questions right despite never having played a single Pokémon game.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Also if he weighed 1 ton, he would not physically be able to fly at his size most likely. He'd have to be massive. Like massive in wing span and height

[@madhatt3r93]

Ellen, your phonecase is so pretty, I love it! Luke IS a big charizard fan, he's taller than the creature itself after all.

To be fair if charazard weighed 900 kg it would weigh more than 2 steelix at that point it would probably be far too heavy to fly and you could never convince me that a creature heavier than 2 solid steel snakes could do so to begin with

[@CrazeeAdam]

Well it could. But the creature itself would need to be massive. With massive wings. So much bigger than Charizard. :) but as is, agree

[@luckysandman5867]

On the other hand: two huge and massive steel snakes should weigh more than 900 kg. Keep in mind the stand for certain traffic lights are more than a ton.

Us Brits generally measure people in feet and inches for height and stones for weight (though I notice that they did seem to know their weights in kilos, which is increasingly common). We often don't use either measurement for much else though, only people (unless wargaming... inches are still quite common there, or of an older generation).

We use a weird mix of metric and imperial. Most Brits will know their height in feet and their weight in stones.

[@candy-scorn]

Yeah its a weird thing since Britain and Canada both used imperial at one point, and then also because of American imports/exports - lots of people, especially older generations use imperial so everything is mixed. Also for some reason we still do height in feet/inches? (source: im from canada)

Pokemon shorter than Charizard that are the same height: Girafarig, Dunsparce, Armaldo, Pyroar, Vikavolt. To summarize, a water spider is bigger than Charizard. A giraffe is the same height as a lion, a beetle, and a fat...snake...thing.
