Does anyone else find it strange that...

Also, if you have watched the anime, you'd know that the Pokemon
never really hatch out of thier eggs. Instead, they glow and transform into the Pokemon.
 
The game and the anime are not exactly the same. When an egg hatches in the game, it actually cracks open. I have no idea how it works in the mangas though.
 
Perhaps the technology behind Pokeballs is inspired by the serverely unnatural biology behind a Pokemon egg.

Hmm...
 
Yeah and the average weight of a Human Adult is like 130-180 pounds or something. When we make babies, do they weigh that much? No, they weigh at around 5 pounds. So it is safe to assume that a baby Snorelax does not weigh as much as a fully grown adult.
 
In the Ono manga, baby Meowth are shown being the size of, well, kittens..

Since this IS the Pokemon World forum and psuedoscientific theories abound, I'm guessing the Pokemon come out of the egg tiny, then gradually grow to their normal size, much like a Great Dane puppy is still, well, puppy sized.
 
I second Neku's answer.
Seriously, though.
Wasnt munchlax s'posed to relieved our thinking minds?
Or it could be like half the size of an average 5 yr old!XD
Okay, Ima done.XD
 
Again, a fully grown human is about 150-180 pounds, yet their child is only 5 punds or less if it's a multiple birth. That's 1/30 to 1/36 of the average adult weight. Now we cant comapare this ratio with a Pokemon, since like animals, their bodies develop differently than ours.

Due to the high fat and protein content in whale milsk, the baby whale grows a lot in it's first year of life. I imagine that a Snorelax is like this. They start of incredibly light, but due to the mother's diet, she is able to produce milk with a high fat and protein content, allowing their child to double, or even triple their weight in the first year. Now remember, they are only still babies at this stage, so they will not suddenly spring up to 1000 pounds.

I imagine by the time they are juveniles, and done with nursing, they are about 1/2 to 3/4 of the adult Snorelax, and by now the growth will slow down. For humans, we reach about half our maximum height at 2 1/2 to 3 years of age, a Snorelax can be different, but it does not change the fact that they are born small, and probably go through an enourmous growth spurt during early nursing years, and again as they hit sexual maturity to ready their body for the process. Let's remember that we arent talking about the game mechanics where a pokemon is basically a living breathing sex machine.
 
Keroppi has it exactly right. Recall in the anime when Ash checked on his Krabby at Prof. Oak's, and saw that Gary's Krabby was much, MUCH bigger. The Pokedex numbers are averages. Heck, in D/P you can show a guy fish (such as Remoraid) and he tells you exactly how long it is.
 
Speaking of which, I caught a five foot long Magikarp in GSC, and the species average size was 2'11"
 
I don't think this is near as disturbing as the whole Kangaskhan paradox.

Why is it that all Pokemon eggs are about the size of a football? I mean I was SO glad that Togetic gained an evolved form, because Togetic is only twice as big as Togepi and Togepi is the exact same size as the egg it hatches from. I just could bear to imagine a Togetic laying an egg that's 1/2 its size. For Pete's sake, a kiwi bird egg is only 1/3 the size of the the mother that laid it!
 
I remember Mudkip eggs in some episodes that were kinda small. I'm guessing the anime just did that to not confuse the little kiddies.

My theory is that depending on the pOkemon's size, the egg will be bigger or smaller. After all, in a human, the taller the female, the more likely chance she is of having healthy multiple birth children since they have more room to grow.

I'm guessing the larger the Pokemon, the larger the egg they produce, and the healthier the baby. I imagine that pidgey just lay normal chickem-sized eggs, while Pidgeotto lay larger eggs, and Pidgeont is able to lay that foot-ball sized egg we see so much.

Besides, I thought that chicken eggs varied in sizes aswell depending on the size of the chicken
