lmao, I *wish* I was 5’7” instead of a skinny baby-faced 5’2” gremlin. I would get the attention of normal adult men instead of creepy closet pedos, and stop teenagers from asking me out thinking I’m their age.
They seem massive because most of the player characters are less than 5" and the anime consistently and dramatically fricks up Pokemon sizes.
As a 5"7 Australian, my experience has been that I'm not considered short, but on average slightly shorter than most people.
>I'm not short, I'm just smaller than most people
T-that's called being short, anon. Also, global height average for males is 5"9, so you're objectively short.
>and the anime consistently and dramatically fricks up Pokemon sizes.
I've always understood Pokemon weights and heights as averages. PLA seems to have cemented my understanding.
Even Alphas don't get as large of a size disparity as some anime Pokemon. Also, averages don't work as an excuse when anime Pokemon are consistently portrayed as the same size as the rest of its species but still offmodel to its listed size.
The anime has always shown size variations among Pokemon species since the very beginning. That's why, even as a seven-year-old, I just took the official listed sizes as averages.
Anon, there is no "considered" for being short. You either are or you're not. Stop trying to lower the buffer just to make yourself feel better.

I literally said why that doesn't work. There's shit like EVERY Charizard being consistently shown above 5"7 on top of Pokemon who don't have any size variation at all being shown extremely often still being offmodel. There's even a lot of cases where different Pokemon that are the same height don't get shown as such in the anime despite having a standardized size, like Infernape, Lucario, and Ambipom all being different sizes.
>I literally said why that doesn't work.
I'm really confused why you're telling me what works for me. That's not a thing normal people do. Are you autistic?
It doesn't matter if it works for you, you're saying something objectively wrong and painting it as a subjective perspective.

I'm not, though. You must have shit reading comprehension if that's what you got out of that. And checking if there has been size variation in the anime is something that you can readily check online; some wikis might even have the episodes catalogued for you. And there really is a new Pokemon game called Legends: Arceus that features size variations, too. Google if you don't believe it. Stop being weird.

You're missing the point. Yes, the anime depicts size variations, but the average height for a Charizard in the anime is like 6'3, not 5'7. Even with the variation they're still skewed to be far larger than what's game canon.

No, the series is scaled to Ash, who's about that short compared to Charizard. Ash is the average height for a 10yo Japanese boy (or was when they started this shit and needed a reference) and a 5'7" dragonalike is going to look massive compared to him.

What the other anon said but here's an image I found off google to demonstrate it.
Ash is a manlet among manlets. Surge is one of the few average-height men, and that's because he's a genuine notAmerican.

Ash is either two things
Perpetually ten years old
Or perpetually the height of a ten year old
Either way, he's not much shorter than the average character in the show, and he's so short I could probably step up a staircase made out of Ash's.
>All Pokemon are made with 10 year old Japanese kids in mind >Japanese 10 year olds are like 4ft and some change tall
And we can't forget >Pretending the Pokedex is in any way accurate when it gives numbers that say Wailord is less dense than fricking air
>Wailord is less dense than fricking air
Wailord is called the FLOAT Whale for a reason, anon. The real bullshit is Onix apparently being made of styrofoam.
No wonder it's canon that a human with a sword successfully went on a mass murder spree against pokemon, a charizard is only 5'7.
Manlets, how can they compete?
>You know myths arn't really true right?
no shit, really?
you must feel real intelligent for pointing that out.
Shit dude, I bow to your wisdom.
What else you got for us pal? >They are ment to be stories to play fundamental roles to society?
And at worst that story demonstrates that humanity can be capable of genociding pokemon by themselves. So even if we pretend it wasn't a lone swordsmen, it still means dudes with swords genocided the lands and only stopped when the gods threatened them
Myths brought up in Pokémon generally turn out true, there's even an entire sub-category of classification based around pokémon from myth. So I don't know where you get off trying to headcanon the series to the world
unlocking manaphy in PLA requires you to follow the myths word for word. The sinnoh myths are true
All of the sinnoh myths are canonically true but cryptic. They're literally part of the game's puzzles.
Well sorry for trying to bring up real world logic In this thread.

If we were discussing roman history and I brought in myths as an argument then you'd have every reason to call it out.
Just gotta remember that pokemon is a fictional setting, and in many fictional settings "myths" are just cryptic tellings of events that canonically happened. Most writers don't want to write about shit that didn't actually happen, they'd rather add substance to their stories.

They kind of do that. The villain teams commonly misinterpret or misrepresent ancient myths to suit their agenda. But the myths themselves don't seem to be written as outright lies.
Not strictly a myth, but Sinnoh Folk Story 1 says that if you eat every part of a water pokemon and then return the cleaned bones to the sea, the pokemon will "return, fully fleshed, and it begins anew". Obviously this could be interpreted as them just trying to discourage wasteful hunting, but its dubious wording also suggests that water pokemon may come back to life if venerated properly. That part's almost definitely full of shit

no wonder almighty sinnoh started pushing that copypasta. Fish is frick, not food
Charizard is rather tall for a man really. 5'7 is a good height, really.
5'7" is the about the average height for women in a lot of the developed world
But I am not a woman. 😉
might as well be, little boy
Whatever you say.
I don't know but I wish it was as average as Charizard.
>5'7 is not small
What the frick, fricking manlets.
Aww, someone is insecure about his height

What shithole do you live in where everyone is a midget?
The Netherlands
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH YOU ARW LITERALLY THE HOBBIT IN YOUR COUNTRY
>ARW
I guess I shouldn't expect anything less from people who think height is the most absolute attribute of a man.
He’s the same height as my dad
small lads
5'7 is not small.
Meh, old data when they truly envisioned Pokemon to be "Pocket Monsters".
Why is Lucario the size of a garden gnome?
It's the height of a 10 year old Japanese kid
>there will never be a pokemon with the same height as you
🙁
Too bad for you. 🙂
I am as tall as Charizard and I love it.
What are you getting out of acting like this?
I am tired of people like you who think 5'7 is short.
It is short my fellow dumbass midget. We both know this is life pretending to be a shonen protag
t. 5'7
Pathetic
As a 5"7 Australian, my experience has been that I'm not considered short, but on average slightly shorter than most people.
LITERALLY when will they learn?
Lol okay little buddy
so manlet cope
Become snekpilled.
I'm not into sleeping bags, sorry dear Anon…
i’m as tall as garchomp
Why are mutts so obsessed with the height of cartoon creatures?
Feminized society that places more value on things that are impossible to change than good work.
they are projecting manlets
short anons are so cute when they get angry
Yeah nobody takes you seriously, that's why I just cut my exe's head off.
It sucks that I tower over your average Charizard or Machamp, though I guess these seemed massive when I was but a wee lad.
They seem massive because most of the player characters are less than 5" and the anime consistently and dramatically fricks up Pokemon sizes.

Way to miss the point over and over again, pretty sure you're giving more of a frick about my height than me right now.
Since it's apparently not obvious, I'm talking about it in a social context.
But is the Greninja Crouching or standing?
Greninja she a cute, perfect for a frick, we always knew this.
outta the way monlets
You're big, but i'm bigger.
(You)'re a big guy.
There's problems as being too big tho ^^"
Why are shill mons such manlets
Because the player character height is usually below 5" and they want them to be on par or shorter than the player?
They use Shilling to compensate for their short stature.
To be cumbawd for their master
