Question

Almost there, buddy.
I was browsing through my pokedex and I noticed that Gligar is 142.9 pounds. Now, my question is: How could Gligar stay in Ash's head if he's that heavy?
 
Jezz, I think this isn't the right place to post this but.......
Man, ANIME is a thing, the game is a completly DIFFERENT thing.
That explains all.
 
It's well documented (if not, it should be) that real world physics and anime world physics are no where near identical. Max could somehow carry Munchlax on its back in AG and items seemingly appear from nowhere.

It's all mainly for humour.
 
We all know Ash in on steroids. How he survives the burns and electric shocks, that's a whole different story.
 
Because Gligar don't fly, they levitate. He was just levitating right on top of Ash's head.
 
It is for the simple reason that the anime animators couldn't give a f**k about the sizes of pokemon.

Take charizard for example. According to the pokedex, it should be a little shorter than the average grown man (just under six feet). In the anime, charizard is easily large enough for Ash to ride.

Though Ash is a ten year old, so he may be smaller than he looks. Though I'm sure there are two pokemon of different sizes the dex says are one foot tall. I don't think caterpie and togepi were the same size.

Considering the characters are based off of real people in Japan (more or less), it's not too hard to believe he'd be about 4'5" in height. Which isn't exactly tall.

So, the Pokemon aren't big, the trainers are just a little shorter.

ash's head is probably heavier than gligar
 
It's suspention of disbelief, you're obviously supposed to 'pretend' like you believe that a 142 pound... thing can be held up by the neck muscles of a ten-year-old. Just like you're supposed to 'pretend' like you believe that Team Rocket should be able to live after being electrocuted, frozen solid, paralyzed, set on fire and being shot into the sky on a regular basis.
 
On the topic of Pokemon sizes, anyone remember Drew's Roselia?
 
Why do the writers change the size of every flying pokemon, so Ash can ride it?
easy. the writers don't care
 
It's just to make alittle joke to make the anime more funny instead of the team rocket funny everyday

They might have made a mistakeand ment to put 14.9 pounds, or something like that. any way, wouldn't Ash be more that ten by now? Like 14 or something, I swear he can't have gone through four reagions and stayed completely the same.

Why do you guys reply to spam? Some of you are seriously making the report button go emo.

If you're gonna do it you need to have ~*flair*~ like Sogeking. :(

Anyways, GepeTo stole what I was going to say. >O Closing.
