[Pkmn] Wait a second, what?

Okay. So, I was planning on drawing Hiyoshi with the tentative Pokemon team I thought might suit him, when I ran into this problem. See, whenever I envision Pokemon (in this example it's Charizard, my favorite Pokemon, and Gengar, my roommate's favorite), the relative sizes turn out like so:
[Incidentally, I am very proud of this Charizard :x]Because Charizard's a badass dragon, right? And Gengar's this spiky ball of purple.




And then it occurred to me maybe I should look up how large they really were. Maybe I drew my Charizard too small, maybe Gengar isn't actually that large. Courtesy of Bulbapedia:

[I was very very wrong.] I think if I tried to sit on Charizard's back and have it fly me around I would break its spine. Gengar I might possibly flee from. And this is compared to 13 year old Hiyoshi too /:




I've charted the Kanto (median 1.0 meters, skewed up) and Johto (median 0.6 meters, skewed up) Pokemon so far and some of them are, ah, surprising. As in, I stand at 1.6 meters. That's how large a Golbat is. Whelp! There goes everything I've ever believed in 'OTL

I'm just... going to go watch Persona now then.
