pokémon main series games: all pokémon are pure creatures which must be protected at all costs
pokémon anime: some pokémon may seem evil but are really just hurting and are good inside.
mystery dungeon games: most pokémon are assholes and will try to kill you

Ok I was watching some old episodes of pokemon

iguanamouth:

And so there’s this big Pokemon race, right, with a bunch of money reward and entry into a clan, some bullshit like that

And here are some of the competitors

Well yeah, that makes sense, I guess, horse in a race, there is the issue of the fucking fire coming out of its entire body but you know, magic monsters, whatever
image
And this one works too, going to have a hell of a time holding on but what doesn’t kill you makes you really good at Wipeout games I guess

 But then

BUT THEN
image
WE GET MISTY, WHO IS LITERALLY JUST LEVITATING OVER THE FUCKING GROUND
image
THIS ASSHOLE WHO CAN’T POSSIBLY BE SITTING ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN SPINES, LIKE ONE SUDDEN STOP AND YOU’RE IMPALED IN THE JUNK OK, GAME OVER
image
AND OK FUCK NO I AM SO DONE WITH YOU POKEMON, THIS IS BULLSHIT

 

Hey you remember that huge ass log Ash ran with and tossed in that one episode? Well I calculated how much the log weighs, if you’re interested.

You have my attention

I decided to start from the scene where the Bagon originally landed on the log.

image

Okay, was about to land on it. Point is, it’s the same log Ash threw. Now, Bagon is about 2 ft tall, and since he’s directly above the log, I can get an accurate measurement.

(That was as good as I could get on iPhone Photoshop.)
Okay, so the log is 6.5 Bagons long. Multiplying that by two, it’s 13 feet. Now, the calculator I was using required diameter on both ends. I’d say the log’s diameter is fairly consistent all the way around, so I only needed to find one end. For that, I used this image.

image

The Bagon is a bit far away, but I think the log has roughly the diameter of the height of a Bagon. Two feet, which translates to 24 inches.

Now if you have looked at the top, there was only one thing left I needed to input. Doing some further episode watching, I found the trees in the area looked similar to cottonwood trees. (No image available because I was a tired shit from doing all of that math and bad Photoshopping, so I didn’t take a picture. The episode is called Pinch Healing if you are a tree expert and want to see for yourself. Also, keep in mind that I am anything but a tree expert. All I did were a few Google searches.) So I put in that the tree was cottonwood, and here is the result:

Satoshi/Ash Ketchum, a ten year old boy, almost effortlessly picked up, ran with, and tossed a log that weighed an astounding 1,385 pounds (or about 628.23 kilograms)!

1,385 pounds

The strongest Pokemon we never knew

Surely by now, we all know this boy goes to the gym

Technically he goes to several gyms

how does he even let team rocket steal his pikachu at this point when he could break their sternums with his index finger

I REGRET EVERY INSULT I’VE EVER SAID ABOUT ASH IN MY LIFE
