• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon

    Re: Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon Yeah, it's mostly Rhyhorn that gets the "so dumb it can't turn" treatment by the Pokédex; the Linoone entry says nothing about intelligence, just that it can't turn. I'm guessing the reality is more like "can't turn very well when running at full...

    Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon

    Re: Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon The question that started this thread is "why do some people assume that Pokémon are so much stronger than humans no matter what, even when it doesn't make any sense for them to be stronger?" An opinion on the reasons why people look at it that way...

    Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon

    Re: Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon Diamonds are actually pretty fragile. It doesn't take a whole lot of blunt/crushing force to damage them. Scratching diamonds would be more impressive, but... Anyway, you can't really take the Pokédex entries as fact, since they're extremely...

    Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon

    Re: Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon The building has a door. All it'd take is to drag the guy outside the door and then fly him off somewhere. Just Hyper Beam'ing him into a wall is probably quicker, though. Tasers/stun-guns hurt like hell, usually knock you over, and stun you...

    Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon

    Re: Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon That's the thing, though... Hyper Beam just doesn't seem like an attack that can be toned down. And even if it can, it certainly wouldn't be able to go as low as other attacks. It just wouldn't be a Hyper Beam if it wasn't pushing the Pokémon's...

    Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon

    Re: Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon Maybe if it was some kind of killer mutant super-Eevee. With big, pointy teeth. Level 255 Eevees off the coast of Cinnabar Island from the Missingno glitch, maybe? Hmm... I generally don't count the anime when figuring out how Pokémon stuff...

    Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon

    Re: Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon A human can knock another human out by punching them in the head a few times, but trying the same thing against an elephant or a rhino would most likely get you pretty seriously hurt. Heh, that'd be pretty ridiculous. XD I'm not 100% sure what...

    Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon

    Re: Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon Wow... I somehow completely forgot about all the mentions of Fighting-type trainers sparring and/or lifting weights with their Pokémon (and Magnus vs. Machamp in arm-wrestling, heh.) Even more evidence for Pokémon not being ludicrously powerful...

    Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon

    Relative strength of humans vs. Pokémon Something I've noticed a lot of recently, though it's been around for years... where on Earth did people get the idea that the average Pokémon is unimaginably stronger than the average human? To show just how ridiculous it's gotten... recently I saw...
