Surprising Stuff in Pokemon

[Xiahou Dun]

Did you ever made a shocking discovery that a certain pokemon wasn't what you thought it was?

For instance, if you check the Pokedex info on Salamence, Salamence is as tall as a short 5th grader (4'11'' or 1.5 meters). Huh, expected it to be much bigger, don't you think?

Cubone. Just Cubone.

At first, I thought this was going to be more akin to the Piantas thread in pointing out logical fallacies.

But hey, apparently Escavalier is only two feet tall.

whatever I'm still going to imagine him as taller

The bicycle costs so much for a bicycle

 

[Dr. Javelin]

it's a different form of currency, guys

seriously, it even has a different symbol

why should everything be exactly like your precious american dollar

You don't hear people complaining about prices being strange in other RPGs that use gold coins, right?

 

[Pokemon DP]

I was going to say something along those lines, but since Pokemon uses Yen (lolpokedollars in English), the bicycle costs roughly 12,267 U.S. dollars. Which is still ridiculous.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

That is ridiculous.

Maybe bike shops have a monopoly? After all, you can't buy bikes anywhere else.

is it possible to get 1 mill pokedollars without hacking?

Nope. I got max pokedollars in Pokemon Ruby without hacking and it goes up to 99999 (I think)

 

[Dr. Javelin]

is it possible to get 1 mill pokedollars without hacking?

It is in Black and White, and in a couple spin offs, but not in the other main games.

I thought Magikarp would be smarter, and it's evolved form Gyarados would not be as big.
