Okay, so I was looking through my dex just now.

Some of the pokemon are really small for the HMs they can learn.

Azurill is eight inches and can ferry you across water. Pidgey is no bigger, and can fly you from town to town.

Megayanma is about 7 feet long and can't fly.

Yeah o_o;;. Ever wonder about that?

Yeah, it doesn't make sense, and I don't think it ever will. o_O;

At least Golbat a Zubat get Fly, now... Also, I don't see how all these Pokemon could Surf (Rhyhorn and Ramard for example), and others can't (Magikarp).

I don't care that much, but, I do recall the episode with the girl with all those Woopers. Don't judge a pokemon by it's size. The wooper kicked team rocket arss.

Well, if you think about it, a huge animal like Rhyhorn or Nidoking could dog-paddle across the water with you on it's back. Magikarp's just...really lame. XD

I guess, but they are weak to the Water type (Rhydon being 4x weak). And if they could do it, why can't Pokemon like Jynx learn it? Plus, in the racing episode during the Indigo League, Rhyhorn sunk. o_O (I know that the anime is different fromt he games but w/e).

I can understand poke like Rydon, Aggron, and Tauros being able to surf - they're big and can float. But poke like spearow who can fly makes no sense o_o;;

I wouldn't trust flying on anything less than my height XD;;.

You don't have to care about that. Maybe the developers forgot to add a little bit of reality.

Lazy sods... -_-

What about crabs/crustations? They are normally on the BOTTOM of the ocean, not at the surface.

But EVERYTHING does that to Team Rocket.

Also, in Special, Bill rides his Farfetch'd like a skateboard. Maybe that's how you're supposed to fit on the smaller birds.

Lol i can just see that

But yea its GF's fault for not making it realistic

So Zetta Slow!
guess...
I think when they use surf, they use the surf attack to make a wave and pushes them to move and they are strong to carry us because they are pokemons...
When they use fly I think you can ride on their back if they are big ones but if they are small ones I think you can just hold on to their legs and feet and they will use all their strength to fly with heavy loads...
...maybe even though a pokemon is big doesn't mean he/she/it can fly normally with a great weight on its back...hehehe
 

Meowth! That's right!

Yeah we never saw Ash grab onto the legs of his Pidgey and fly all the way to the other side of Kanto in 1.2 seconds!
