Yeah, the pokedex entry sizes and weights are total bs. If I remember right, furret is taller than charizard and lucario is like 3 or 4 feet tall. That's so stupid. Also kyogre and groudon and most legendaries should be massive. Like the 6th movie groudon. At least. *end of rant*

(Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

Well, Furret is measured tip of head to tip of tail and Charizard is measured from head to toes so I can see it being that long considering real ferrets are about 2 feet long. As for the rest, yeah, not really accurate...
Primal Groudon was just an example, i can remember Trainer AIs going for Ground-type moves. Still, just a nitpick <-<
Absolutely correct. When i saw Metagross and Golurk's actual size, i was astonished. <-<
Wailord's weight/density is intentional. It is called the "Float Whale Pokémon".
I was kind of taken aback by how small Excadrill actually was. The thing is huge when you battle it against Clay.
Granted that wasn't a real Groudon but a monstrous fake... that kind of ended up inspiring Primal Groudon. Lucario is 3'11"
I just tend to ignore the Pokedex entries, as few of them make much sense.
Excadrill being like two feet tall will never stop being hilarious. Staraptor too, actually. And how tiny Roselia is.
Am I the only one who doesn't think a two foot tall Excadrill is silly?
It terms of being an animal, no it isn't. But considering that it was Ubers material in BW2 era, it is xD So much power in a tiny body is silly.
Lumiose City. First off, I can never figure out where I'm going. Secondly, Lumiose is a price-gouging heaven.
Talking with Alexa can help you find where everything is, and if you get lost, just talk to one of the taxis scattered about. You don't have to go through with the ride if you don't want to, but they'll tell you where whatever you're looking for is. Also... why are you at all concerned about the prices being higher than you'd like? If you keep grinding through Restaurant Le Wow and selling off the Balm Mushrooms you receive at the end, you'll have way more money than you know what to do with. (not to mention raising your style points in Lumiose to get better deals and Hatching power, and you can still use Bargain power to drop prices a bit)
One little thing that annoys me in ORAS is that the sorting algorithm for the item pockets isn't a stable sort. So sorting the main items pocket by name, and then by type, doesn't give you "sections" of each item type alphabetically; all your mega stones are together but in seemingly random order, etc.
All I wanted was BW2's bag back, but nooo, that was too cool and can never be used again ever.
EDIT: I just reread this thread and saw someone bring up the Circle Pad and running instead of tiptoeing (too lazy to quote). This is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING, especially when it's something good, too. I also agree how the freaking DexNav is like "try going slower" but when you do that, the Pokemon flat out disappears. Finally, sometimes my character randomly starts tiptoeing when I'm just trying to walk like a normal human being. Luckily the NPCs don't give a shit...

I don't like how there are too many Pokemon now, it makes it too hard to scroll through my pokedex :(
Why would you scroll through the Pokedex? First off, search function, second off, it still is easier to navigate this Pokedex than EVER before besides that
But I never had to use it before! Back in my day the amount of pokemon you'd ever need stopped at 386!!
I still like to scroll through the dex anyways, though.
Well, back in my day, there were only 151 Pokeymans, you young whippersnapper!
Jokes aside, I really don't mind the fact that there are 720 Pokémon and I really am from the days of 151. I can actually imagine telling my younger self that and he would have pooped himself.
Well I can understand rock smashed rocks reappearing because you can actually find things out of them. You can find certain Pokemon out of them and also items like fossils, Heart Scales and other things. Trees on the other hand should be permanently removed since you get nothing out of them.

I really want trees to stay gone. I don't want to carry an HM slave for that all the time.
We should only need surf and fly post game.
We should only need surf and fly post game.
I believe I posted this before ages ago, but in my opinion the perfect solution for the HM dilemma would be to have HM field effects permanently learned by any Pokemon that learns the move, even if the move itself is removed. That way, actually useful moves like Surf still keep their viability while things like Cut can be taught once, then forgotten for a better move.
Well, in terms of Rock Smash rocks it's like... alright, things like HGSS Ruins of Alph rocks and XY Glittering Cave rocks where you do legitimately get something out of them should stay. But rocks which exist purely to block your way should be removed when you first break them; much like they did with Rusturf tunnel. And which they should do with the infamously infuriating rocks between Mauville and Fiery Path.
One thing that bothers me is how Mega Camerupt has the Team Magma logo while Mega Sharpedo doesn't. Why, Sharpedo, why?
Because (Mega) Sharpedo is the mascot of Team Aqua? If I remember right, the yellow scars on the top of its body do kind of resemble an A...
