When Val gets bored, something good's always bound to come of it.

So, I got bored a little while back, and decided to do this little project. Certain Pokedex descriptions always came off to me as being kinda hax (hax is the only word I can think of to describe it). So, I went through every Pokedex description in all four generations, and picked some of the ones I thought stood out the most. Then, I checked in on some actual scientific data and applied it to these descriptions and now, here's the end result, 15 different Pokemon put to the test.

Enjoy, and sorry for the hueg picturr.

Is there a PokeDex entry that explains why Hitmonchan wears a little tennis skirt?

The only one that really kinda ruins the fantasy aspect for me by going too far is Magcargo. Yeah, I can't really make an excuse for that one.

WAIT

GOKU CAN'T SURVIVE TOUCHING MAGCARGO NOOOES

There's a couple errors on that sheet that I didn't notice until after I had finished.

So who came firs? Mew or Arceus?

Perhaps Arceus created Mew to have the DNA of all PKMN, including itself?

From that I got:
Water is overrepresented.
The evolution ratios have stayed pretty consistent.
Gen IV has stinkin' 14 legendaries!?

And remember, "I'm-a Charizard, number, well, six."
