Why is Stunfisk so flat in the game's graphics?

Oct. 1, 2016



Pokemondb says that Stunfisk’s height is 2'4", which means it should be just about as tall as a short person’s waistline. That is assuming that 2'4" is actually Stunfisk’s height and not its length. So why does it look paper thin in the game?

The “height” in the PokéDex does not alway refer to a Pokémon’s height. I’m sure you’ve heard of the Furret meme:

If the PokéDex went purely based on height, then Furret is a humungous 6-foot-monster rodent. However, in Furret’s case, this 5'11" refers to itslength.This applies to other serpentine Pokémon like Arbok, Seviper, Serperior, and Huntail. Because Lucario is humanoid, 3'11" is his actual height. This applies to other Pokémon like Blaziken and Machoke.

In the case of Stunfisk, he’s flat because he’s 2'4"long,not 2'4" tall.
