They need to be bigger/smaller…

When I used to play Pixelmon, I spent a lot of time hunting oddly sized Pokemon. The server I played on had special items that randomly changed the size of a specific Pokemon, and you could make your Pokemon either incredibly tiny or incredibly huge. Being someone who had played for quite a while in that server, I accumulated a lot of the size-randoming item, and I used them on quite a few Pokemon. Legendaries would be made huge, while Pokemon I like a lot were made tiny. My favourite Pokemon was a shiny Houndoom that I had made tiny.… [Continue Reading]

These Abnormally Sized Pokemon Aren’t So Bad

A while back, I wrote an article about Pokemon sizes. In Pokemon GO, two new sizes were added to a Pokemon’s potential stats: XXS or XXL. Pokemon that are XXS and XXL are, as the name suggests, extra extra small and extra extra large. Originally, these new sizes were only visible on a handful of Pokemon, but ever since I wrote the previous article, now any Pokemon can be extra big or extra small. Has anything really changed though? Not really. The little banners are still there, as are the little popups saying whether a Pokemon is tiny or huge.… [Continue Reading]

Vector artwork is unique as it isn’t defined as a bunch of pixels, but instead is a bunch of points, lines and basic shapes, all combined together in… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon GO’s new Size Stats are Annoying

One of the newer features in Pokemon GO’s winter updates was something to track the sizes of Pokemon. Normally, every caught Pokemon has a weight and height, but this update boosted the visibility, adding little ribbons for Pokemon are bigger or smaller. New sizes This update also introduced two more sizes. Your Pokemon can now be extra large or extra small. These do seem to be quite rare though. During the Community Weekend back in December, despite catching tons of Pokemon, I only saw a handful of extra small Pokemon. Didn’t see any extra large ones though. The game does… [Continue Reading]

Weird Pokemon Dimensions in Pokemon GO

Every time you catch a Pokemon, regardless of game, that Pokemon has stats about how big it is. How much it weighs and how tall it is. These numbers are generally completely random, but it’s a nice bit of flavour text whenever you catch some Pokemon. Makes them not look like clones or something like that. However, in Pokemon GO, you can’t see if a Pokemon is big or small until after you’ve caught it. Thankfully, sizes don’t really mean much, right? Cosmetic sizes All Pokemon have a height and weight given to them, with a small chance of being… [Continue Reading]
