Revision as of 09:06, 12 July 2021
This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Images for other Pokémon |
Aside from giant Pokémon, many Pokémon in the Pokémon anime suffer from large size discrepancies between the information given in the Pokémon games' Pokédex and their actual animated presentation. These Pokémon are apparently "normal sized" as far as the anime's universe is concerned. Many of Ash's Pokémon are often subject to size discrepancies, often appearing smaller than other Pokémon of the same species.
This may be a style or aesthetic decision, a case of the writers not checking the information in detail, or for story purposes.
Some of the most notable size discrepancies will be noted below.
