Title: Who Is Faster?
Post by: The name master on October 20, 2017, 18:04
Who do you think?

NOT BASED ON STATS!!!

Latios can fly faster than a jet, while Dragonite can fly round the world in just 16 hours (at 1500mph if it's talking about the earth!)

This is assuming Latios doesn't go Mega, right? If that's the case, and also assuming your math is accurate, and also assuming the quick Google search I did holds any value... then the fastest jet is rougly a few miles per hour faster than Dragonite. Probably safe to assume regular Latios can go faster than that if "a jet" is faster than Dragonite.

Of course, that's assuming Dragonite is also going max speed with its flight. Kinda scary to think it could go even faster if it had a reason to. (Though I'm mostly humoring this thought because I personally find the mental image of Dragonite flying at a leisurely pace-- that just so happens to let it lap the world at least once within a day-- to be amusing.)

This is also of course assuming that the pokedex is an actual authority on anything and not just a collection of data gathered by a bunch of idiot ten year olds because the actual experienced professors were too damn lazy to go out and do any field work.

Less of a joke and more of a, come on, theres no damn way that "can fly around the world in just 16 hours" is anything but the ramblings of a kid who happens to think their dragonite is the coolest. Whether it was done intentionally or note, to me almost all dex entries sound exactly like they were written by dumb ass children.

Professor Oak said he couldn't do it because he said he "was too old"

Also, if all these professors have been studying pokemon for a long time, then why is the pokedex completely empty?

I've been wondering that myself for years.

Since Professor Oak says he's too old to complete the Pokedex, it makes you wonder what exactly he did with his life before he got too old in the first place!

Latios can fly faster than a jet

I thought I'd share something with you that I'd expect SkullShurtugalTCG/Gar1onriva to say:
Don't be silly, The Name Master. Jets don't exist!

Oak: Shut up and tell me my grandson's name!

 The strange kid that dresses like Ezio from Assassins Creed and runs with his arms behind his back would be the fastest.

Considering the pokedex in the games is mostly bullcrap, I'd say Latios.

I say Latios. I just see it flying faster.
