In a PokeMusou game, would you be playing as trainers who toss out Pokemon for their combos, or as the Pokemon themselves?

Only problem with that is a lot of pokemon are disappointingly small compared to an adult.

Pokemon Conquest would've been more fun if the entire story wasn't just the prologue, and the actual capturing of pokemon and difficulty was the "post-game."

It's easy to forget Ash Ketchum is only 4'10" or so, what with being a ten year old boy, so he looks microscopic beside some adults (for example, in the Manaphy movie, Ash barely comes up to Jack Walker's waistline, and then you've got people like Lt. Surge:  Then you've got the likes of Type: Null, which at first glance seems maybe the size of a large dog before seeing it's 6'03 and is 7'07 once it evolves :origin()/pre13/6fe1/th/pre/f/2016/335/2/8/gladion_silvally_by_sapphiresenthiss-daq873k.png) 'Course, 'Dex sizes may only be averages, so... Very easy to overlook the size of some pokémon and now I'm mildly curious about Uranium's heights

Vinylshadow posted:It's kinda surreal how tall or short some characters/pokémon are Dex numbers for size and especially weight are about as valid as claims like Larvitar eating mountains or Grimer being created from X-rays from the Moon in my mind. It doesn't help that it doesn't differentiate between height and length.

Yea, the Anime is very wildly inconsistent about character sizes, and generally ignore weight, so kids are carrying around Larvitars that are suppose to be hundreds of pounds.

Tired Moritz posted:did they ever explain why we can put pokemon in computers Because Bill is a loving terrifying mad scientist with no concept of "ethics" or "responsible experimentation". See: the time he accidentally turned himself into a half human monstrosity and needed the help of a random eleven year old child to fix it. Also that the pokemon he merged with never appeared after they were separated, forcing us to conclude that it died in some horrible way.

Tired Moritz posted:did they ever explain why we can put pokemon in computers Not 100%. The games talk vaguely about the PCs being the pokemon storage service because apparently whatever it is about pokemon that lets you put them in a little ball in flagrant defiance to the laws of conservation of mass also lets you store and transfer them electronically. Viewed from that lens it makes a weird amount of sense that Porygon exists. In the anime pokemon could be transferred around, but ones that were in storage were cared for someplace. For Ash it was Professor Oak's lab, and they showed he could basically summon them from any Pokemon center with a network connection. Schubalts posted:In the first anime season, Ash and Gary were sending all their Pokémon to Oak's house, since he apparently had enough land to support at least one massive herd of Tauros. A fun bonus fact is that Ash's massive herd of Tauros was explained in one of the episodes that got banned. The Safari Zone episode (reason for banning: people with guns threatening each other) had a gag where Ash would try and throw a Safari ball at a pokemon and a Tauros would run in front of it and get caught instead. This is never explained in the English release, so a while later Ash just has lots and lots of Tauros.

For Ash it was Professor Oak's lab, and they showed he could basically summon them from any Pokemon center with a network connection. Interestingly, that gives Ash an unfair advantage to some degree. I'd guess that most independent trainers wouldn't have the space in their home for more than two or three pokemon in residence, so they wouldn't be able to keep as much of a type and move variety ready. Not that anyone really uses type advantage properly in the show with any consistency, so it's no big deal. Then again, perhaps the Daycare acts as the storage for non-sponsored trainers.

Ash still does that.  Also the anime is usually pretty good with Pokemon sizes that feels right. With ONE exception.

Meanwhile the main games added trainers to the backgrounds so now scaling, which was already wonky in gen 6 probably due to what I assume are game engine reasons, is very out of whack when you have wailords being comparatively tiny or zygarde perfect being about the size of a child and not a gundam. Hopefully the switch game will go more towards the stadium/PBR style where big boys were b i g b o y s
