Topic: RPM POKEMON ADVENTURE THING

[White-Jet]

Ryo, Posu and Nega noticed Ahrzyal show up and casually walk over to check up on her.  Merrick, although still distracted by WilyII's personality conundrum, decides to follow after them to check on her himself, having not gotten a chance to ask Hierophant how she was feeling after being told the horrible truth by the insanely creepy scientist.  He keeps his hands behind his back to appear as normal as possible so as not to raise any concerns with what he had witnessed during his time glued to WilyII's back.

Quickie grinned at Ahrzayl and shrugged it off.  "It's fine.  I'm getting used to the excitement now."  She jerked a thumb towards Mewtwo.  "Since it seems to follow him wherever he goes."

"An unfortunate truth," Mewtwo nodded, "though, I will not allow it to prevent myself from living as I choose."

[Dr. Wily II]

Dr. Wily II soon appeared as well, shielding his eyes from the glaring sunlight. He began to dig around his lab coat, finally pulling out a pair of prescription sunglasses. He slowly removed his glasses, and replaced them with the sunglasses. Nodding in satisfaction, Dr. Wily II said...

"I'll... Be at the Pokemon Center, if anyone... Wants to find me..." With that, Dr. Wily II did a bow, and made his way to the Center. With the sunglasses on, no one will be able to notice the aura...

(I'm Ariga Wily now, with those sunglasses. )

[Quickman]

(A thought occurred to me...  Would the Pokemon Center have size restrictions for Pokemon outside of their Poke Balls?  Basically, how big is too big, aside from the blatantly obvious huge Pokemon?  Is there a maximum size restriction?  The reason I ask is if it's something like 4-5 ft, then we'd have a problem.  Mewtwo wouldn't be allowed in.)

[Sakura Leic]

(I'm sure he would be fine, 4 ft-5 ft is about the size of a human.)

[White-Jet]

(Not that I'm aware of.  As far as I'm concerned, given Ash's Pikachu may not be the only Pokemon that hates being put inside a Pokeball, the Pokemon Center may have no size limit aside from how well they can fit through the door, though that was probably my personal assumption)

[Sakura Leic]

(Yeah besides he had no problem before, I don't see why he would now.)

[Dr. Wily II]

(Well... I think they should be fine with human height Pokemon...)

[Quickman]

(Okay, I was just curious, as on Bulbapedia, it said that in the "communication centers" of a Pokemon Center, walking Pokemon aren't allowed.  I would assume that the waiting room is fair game, though.)

[Dr. Wily II]

(Given the anime version and the game version are vastly different, it's better to go with the anime version. )

[Quickman]

(Unleashed Pokemon EVERYWHERE! )

[Sakura Leic]

(In Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon HG/SS you had walking Pokemon and they were allowed in.  I think when they say Communication Center I think they meant the places you go to trade Pokemon and battle with another Game Cartridge.)

[Dr. Wily II]

(True, but in Yellow, it was only Pikachu. In HGSS, there was a size restriction, I know Steelix was not allowed.)

[Sakura Leic]

(I see, I never had extra large Pokemon with me so I wouldn't know.  But Feraligatr was allowed no problem regardless.)

[Quickman]

(Steelix I can understand as he's HUGE.  Some indoor areas restrict Pokemon to 3 ft in height, and I can understand why one would do such a thing, as a large Pokemon that becomes unruly would become a big problem.  That, and space can be an issue.  Pokemon of any size take up space, and unless they're constantly following their trainer, they could get underfoot and in the way somewhere else.)

[Sakura Leic]

(I never had a problem with Feraligatr and he's 7 ft tall.)

[White-Jet]

(Eh...I kinda had that impression when I first introduce Genbu.  He was basically too big to fit through the door, didn't want to be put inside a Pokeball even if it was to help him get inside, and prompt Hierophant to shrink him to Turtwig size so he can at least join them for dinner without causing property damage.  The same assumption was with Excalibur, more because he was too wide, quadrupedal-wise to maneuver through the seemingly narrow aisles of the Pokemart during Chariot's hunt for a feasible bag to carry any milk and potions in)

[Dr. Wily II]

(Heh, I was experimenting on the sizes for fun, and used random Pokemon. )

[Sakura Leic]

(I think Torterras were fine, I'm sure that the Center actually has double doors.)

[Quickman]

(And going back to the other Pokemon Center not having a problem...  Stone Town is small and would likely be a bit more lax.  Fuchsia City is a large metropolitan area with a lot of tourist traffic.  The center would need to be quite large to accommodate a sizable population of trainers, plus the visitors who would be coming by for the Safari Zone/Pal Park.  It would be reasonable that they would have different rules, particularly if one of their biggest draws is the Safari Zone/Pal Park.  Large gatherings of trainers during peak seasons would present a problem if they all have walking Pokemon, as space would quickly become an issue.  Also, during peak seasons, the possibility for crime would escalate and we know that stealing Pokemon is a very common occurrence, and with the Safari Zone/Pal Park importing their Pokemon, the rate of theft would be relatively high.)

[Sakura Leic]

(They would probably also have a larger Pokemon Center to accommodate for that.)

[Pyro]

(They would probably also have a larger Pokemon Center to accommodate for that.)

[Sakura Leic]

(Narrator: Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice!}

(....I do not get what prompt that line.)

[Pyro]

(Me neither. Maybe it is because the Hall of Justice freaking huge.)

[Sakura Leic]

(So's the Pokemon League.)
