That said, Wailord is actually one of the few reasonable examples of that trend - it's apparently based on a blimp, so it's naturally lighter than air.

I just realized that a lot of people in the Pokemon universe are seriously packing heat.

Nekkoala is sleep themed. It apparently never wakes up and has the ability "Absolute Sleep" which makes it immune to non-sleep statuses.

Wait, what? So is it also immune to sleep or is sleep talk mandatory on it?

Yeah sorry, I got the "never wakes up" part from someone doing an off-the-cuff translation, but it turns out they were just speculating on that part, it's not actually in the text. Culise is right about the rest. Didn't mean to spread misinformation.

Doesn't explain Wailmer. It's 130kg / 286lbs @ 6'07 height, and its pokedex entry states it fills itself with water to bounce around on. Surely if it was spherical, roughly 2m tall, it'd weigh more than 130kg?

[Neonivek]

Who said that number is post filling itself with water?

While the water thing can be explained by the fact that it's probably playing with the water as talked about in the pokedex, you should perhaps wonder instead about this:

It eats one ton of food every day. It plays by shooting stored seawater out its blowholes with great force.

One ton = 907kg. Per day.

What did the professors do? Starve it to death then weigh it?

[Neonivek]

Had a dream I wanted the latest pokemon.

I have a feeling I don't, but I am gonna check the price anyway.

[Aklyon]

It'll almost for sure be either $30 or $40, like every other 3DS game I've wanted to get that has more than a digital form.

No problem.  I still remember when I was responsible for spreading the rumours of Adaptability Mega-Latios and Multiscale Dragon/Fairy Mega-Latias here a couple years back, so there's always worse than a bit of a mistranslation. ^_^

My local store charges 10 dollars more then X and Y

Haha, it's like that time someone got mistaken about Rayquaza getting a mega form that could hold items while having the highest base stats in the game while having no flying-type weaknesses and having a super signature move that owns everything.

Oh my gosh, I know, right?  That would have been absolutely horrifying if it had been true.

Good thing we nipped that rumor in the bud.

New Trailer with new pokemans and a new 4 person free for all battle format. Also nice new battle theme music

[Neonivek]

Everytime I watch those I go "Ohh yeah they don't have a Woodpecker pokemon yet do they?"

Then I checked Hummingbird pokemon and yep doesn't exist yet either... but bonus points that the Fanmade pokemon are often amazing!
