Using real life as a reference, a male tiger can weight somewhere around 400 lbs. Feeding it can cost about $7,500 a year. If you decide you want to own, like, a Dragonite (463 lbs.), you better be able to afford to feed it.
What about pokes with limited diets? A male panda can weigh somewhere around 200 lbs. Pandas eat bamboo exclusively, and around 22-33 lbs. of it a day. It costs the Toronto Zoo about $250,000 a year just to feed one.
