sizes in pokemon

have you guys ever stop to look at the pokedex,
you find alot of interesting things like this
taking into account my height and weight (6'5" and 180 pounds) there are manny pokemon i cant fly surf or ride on mainly becuase i would cursh them plus
a charizard is only 5' 7" i will be looking down at him.
when im watching the anime or a pokemon movie or even playing the game i notice that the characters are not taller than 4' 11"

so my question is if pokemon were real would it be difficult for you or easier
to train them?

( ps steelix is 30' tall the size of some apartment building)

IB/Random quality. If you want serious anwers post this in Random. Unserious/(some)funny answers post this in IB.
In other words wrong section. Edit* Maybe not...

Hmm... I am not sure if this topic has already been moved previously, but I reckon the Anime General section might be appropriate... for now.

Since I don't play pokemon all that much, I can only assume the statistics provided in the pokedex are based on the average. Some pokemons may be larger or smaller.

To answer your question, it boils down to the trainer. Similarly, in real-life, some dogs, regardless of their size and temperament, obey their owners with ease. On the other hand, there are also dogs, albeit small in size, can go hysterical or wild, even with their owners by their side.

If you watch the anime ash is tiny compared to his charzard and I if i remember correctly his charzard is a small one. So basically I think the anime makes the Pokemon bigger to make it seem more realistic I guess.

But to the original question, It wouldn't change how hard it is to train them. Like as OP said a normal sized person couldn't ride half of the pokemon but, training is practicing moves or working on strenght/endurance. It doesn't matter whether I'm 4'11 or 7'0 to train my Pikachu to use thunderbolt.

I loved doing that in the games, especially in Emerald where there was a scale and if you put a pokemon like Groudon on it you would fly off the screen.

They should make pokemon games more realistic.

Small at birth, big in the middle and eventually they die after 2 years in your possessions.

They should also add a feature feeding it as well while traveling it, that would make the game hard as hell and it would really be a challenge.

And they should also add a feature where we can create our own characters.

Pokemon just enhanced their graphics but didn't change shit in General.

Yeah it's not an answer I gave, but pokemon rocks, it is just the people who work at it that do.

2 years is pretty short. That could be really cruel to leave the game untouched for a year and turn on the game to find half your pokemon have died. Could you imagine how some kids would react to that?

"MOM, DAD, did you guys start messing with my pokemon?"

I don't believe they will be horrified by it, I mean it is just a games after all ... and games sure have a way to fuck peoples minds up, especially the minds of little children.

If you try to collect, that would really suck. If you want the "death", you could play by the Nuzlocke Rules, if a pokemon faints, you must release it or put it in a box and never use it again. You can only catch the first one you see in a new route, and no recaptures. Trust me, it makes the game a whole lot harder. Especially if you follow the other rules like no grinding etc.

Naw I like the way I said it, they die after a certain time or die if you don't feed them or take care of them, and when they are deposited then the professor takes care of them.

It'll be much more challenging, yeah it'll suck when your charizard dies at level 100 with the best attacks but hey, aren't we all cynic?

They should make the game harder, the roads and the city much, much bigger.

They should level up pokemon in ways that is very complicated.

Pokemon has so much to improve, but it just adds new or improved features bit by bit by every game.

the thing is regardless on your size training a 30' steelix is no easy thing
yes smaller pokemon are much easier but non legendary giants are another story

also pokemon should make there games more realistic

i feeding process would be nice but life or death would not

its simply put that a person of average height might need a legendary to fly to places, plus pokemon that are sizes of apartment building are just to oversized
can you imagine a battle with one (go charizard use flame thrower, steelix use iron tail) then a tail the size of a telapone pole that weighs about 2 tons come hurlding at you its a little over powerd

I would just like to say that a three-foot tall butterfly or bee are terrifying as is, and no matter what bug Pokemon is brought to my attention, I wouldn't be able to train them. At all. That in itself would kill me.

Keep in mind that Pokemon still has a large demographic of kids (Asian kids included).

As such, the sizes of certain "big" Pokemon are quite laughable for your average gamer, but would appear appropriately intimidating to little Kawisumazakari-kun.

You could just choose to stay in school, because apparently they give you the choice.

Part of the confusion of sizes could come from the fact that the translators forgot that the original unit was in METERS and not FT. A 5.7M charzard is far more plausible no?

it could be that

Wailord
I checked the pokedex and he is HUGE! Like big. Compared to the trainer, the trainer was tiny.

I stopped playing pokemon 8 years ago.

It would make more sense if you could in put your height and it would scale the Pokemon to your height in the pokedex and have different sized people walking around be nice if they let us change the clothes as well. Charzard being smaller than me that just isn't right and I thought each Pokemon can be of varying height.

so far, wailord is the biggest pokemon in the pokedex.
