Removing the Charizard Feat (Pokémon Downgrade)

piloswine also used to be a final evolution

And this is without factoring in Lombre being knowledgeable on legendary Pokémon (who of course are far less common to know about than Pokémon like Charizard).

And yet he doesn't know about a more common Pokémon like Xatu?

This makes this whole line of reasoning inconsistent, since Xatu should be far more well-known than the Legendary Pokémon.

Knowing legendaries doesn’t mean Lombre has to know every single non legendary Pokémon’s abilities.

I fail to see the inconsistency.

I can casually dig a hole 1m3 large in half an hour. If someone now says "this man can dig a hole 10m3 large", does that mean I would also do this in half an hour because I have never shown to work on a hole for longer than that? Also, a flamethrower also has never been shown to have kilometers of reach last time I checked. So "it's a signature move, thus it can only be this way" really hold no water. If you can't make the assumption that it lasts longer than 3 seconds then the assumption has to be that it has the ability to cover entire mountains. So let me ask you. What is more likely based on what we have seen of the move flamethrower. That it can be used for longer than three seconds if needed or that it's maximum range and area of effect is actually thousands of times more than anything we have ever seen.

I just checked Charizard's profile, and it says they have tens of kilometers of reach with most attacks.

I mean, it would be nice for that to have reasoning as well to be honest. I'm pretty sure "most" of its attacks are nowhere near that, and it's not like range doesn't need justifications.

 

[Agnaa]

Yeah, and if that reasoning is flawed then I'd really want people to tackle Rather's point that such a feat would either require immense range, or a long timeframe.

 

[StrymULTRA]

I'm pretty sure is scaling from Electric mons who have Thunderbolt/Thunder which behaves like a real one

 

[Ricsi-viragosi]

Why would moves even scale in range at all? Their point is kind if that each has its own values.

Also like, just cause it comes down from such a distance doesn't mean it can be projected at similar distances away from the user.
