Dragonite is capable of circling the globe in just sixteen hours. [RSE dex]
This Pokémon flies at Mach 2 speed, seeking prey. [Yellow dex]

mach 2 speed = 2 469.6 km/h

Dragonite base speed/Pidgeot base speed(gen 1)= 91 points /80 points = 0.879
Dragonite speed = 0.879Pidgeot speed = 0.879(2 469.6 km/h) = 2171.1 km/h

Pokémon Earth circumference = Dragonite speed per hour * 16 hours = 34737.2 km
Earth radius = circumference/2π = 5528.6 Km

Real Earth radius = 6.371 km

If the real Earth’s radius is 6.371 km then I think the Pokémon Earth’s is considerably larger.

But just because it flies at Mach 2 while seeking prey doesn't mean it flies at Mach 2 all the time, maybe it slows down to get a better look

Mach 2 while hunting means that's likely its maximum speed.
If Dragonite is capable of circling the globe in 16 hours at least, I assume it would do that journing at max speed in its turn. So the ratio between the two can only make sense.

The planet the Pokemon series takes place on isn't Earth. It's an entirely fictional planet that has SOME similarities to Earth, but is otherwise its own thing.

Considering every region is virtually 1:1 with it's irl counterpart, it's more like a 'schrodinger's earth'.
We can't say for sure that a region that is 1:1 with every Earth country exists, but once they do exist they were actually there all along.

Yeah I got nothing. Are you implying shit like dodrio is significantly faster than mach2? The speed stat can probably be looked at as a sustainable speed or even just ability to react to situations.

Bullshit. Of course the dex is referrencing to equatorial longitude. Why would that be considered an archieve or listed at all if it otherwise referenced to random longitudes? Time wouldn't even be the same every time, so why specifically say 16 hours? It must be the maximum time possible, hence the time for the maximum lenght possible, ie the Equator.
Alternatively, it could be Kanto longitude. Anyway, it must be a specifically set longitude and not random variable ones.
>Are you implying shit like dodrio is significantly faster than mach2?
Why wouldn't it? If Pidgeot is mach 2 speed while hunting (and thus logically while fighting) and Dodrio is faster than Pidgeot in battle, why wouldn't it be faster than mach 2 at most?
>The speed stat can probably be looked at as a sustainable speed
like the sustained speed required to circumnavigate the world?
>or even just ability to react to situations.
Bullshit. Priority exists for this reason if anything.

This is wrong, you have to balance your max speed and stamina for reaching a result like flying for straight 16 hours. If a dragonite would try to fly at its max speed for 16 hours would problably die or stop.

We know that's bullshit, Vikavolt's described as zipping along, yet has a base speed of 43. Ever think Mach 2 is its cruising speed (like Pidgeot's described as doing) yet when it pushes itself, it can fly around the world in 16 hours?

Garchomp flies at Mach 1. Its base Speed stat is 102.
Rapidash is explicitly stated to have a top speed of 150 MPH. It has a base Speed stat of 105.
You can't use a Pokemon's base stats to scale to anything. It just doesn't work.

It's as it says, Pokemon became less animalistic and are basically just funny-looking humans now. They have the same intelligence, emotions, thought processes as humans. Pokemon also became a huge brand, so a lot of the early lore (real world locations and animals existing) had to be retconned or swept under the rug. Pokemon eating each other is still referenced, we just don't see it because actually showing a Pokemon eating another Pokemon would hurt Pokemon's non-violent image.
