Since before this century and already with the first generation of Pokémonthere are decisions behind some statistics, let’s say… It’s hard to understand the logic behind them. Very small pocket creatures with large stat blunts with no apparent explanation, and then others, much larger and ferocious, with some lower stat than the harmless Pokémon it is compared to. They have been, are and will be very funny anecdotes that go viral on social networks.
One of the most common examples is the high attack of Krabby o Trapinch compared to some Pokémon in their last stage of evolution. Well, this is what has happened and what many people have asked themselves as a result of a post on the social network Reddit. With the new release of Pokemon Scarlet and PurpleReddit user, Kaiyoti920asked: Why Game Freak?
Why Gamefreak? from pokemon
Why does Trapinch have 100 attack in his base stats and why does Tinkaton only have 75? What does not add up in this type of decision is the physical appearance of the Pokémon. Trapinch is an ant, it is understood that being inspired by an ant lion, it can bite with great force, but… is the bite of an ant lion really stronger than a giant hammer made of resin and metal parts, which Also has 100 kg of weight?
Without a doubt, it is a fun comparison that defies logic and many users on social networks have let it be seen. What do you think? Do you know more Pokémon whose comparison is as hilarious as the view between Tinkaton and Trapinch?
