On the same note Crabominable, Xurkitree, and the Swords of Justice are also bigger then expected.

Now some would be or understandably would, but all of them? Most look bigger (and anime made them bigger), only a few would be smaller like Infernape. All the Starters just in general, all of them are the size of the trainer (who is a kid).Come on, English translators of Pokémon, ditch the stupidity and join the rest of the civilized world! Leave the original Metric numbers from the Japanese originals intact!Ĭlick to expand.Geez those size differences. The Imperial system is absolutely, objectively, undeniably a completely retarded system of measurement, and after Myanmar adopted Metric in 2013 there's only one country out there that hasn't passed a Metrication act: Liberia. It's a little better in later generations, where the Pokédex has a feature that lets you compare the Pokémon against the trainer model, but it probably wouldn't be much of an effort to display Metric in all versions of the games. Hippos are about as tall as Venusaur minus the flower, a little larger in length but much narrower, and they weigh 1500 kg on average. Simple and easy numbers, completely relatable, even though it does highlight the fact that the designers have no idea about density.

How do you even make half an lb, provided you manage to find out what it is and get hold of one in the first place? If you look up a site that has managed to do the conversion for you, you find the original figures for Venusaur: 2 m tall, weighs 100 kg. When I looked up size and weight in the Pokédex, all it displayed was numbers with weird apostrophes in them, and weights given in "lb"s, whatever the heck that is supposed to mean.įor instance, Venusaur's size is given as 6 apostrophes + 7 double apostrophes, which logically should be 20 apostrophes in total, but what is even an apostrophe supposed to be? And it weighs 220.5 lb. As a kid playing the first couple of generations, I had no idea how big each Pokémon was supposed to be, because I thought my game carts were glitched. Another thing they really ought to fix is to put in a Metric option in the English-language versions of their games.
