Any of you folks ever wonder just how big this world is? I mean, even Johto an' Kanto put together ain't anywhere near the size of Equestria, 'an the pokemon... seems like every time we think we found 'em all, another hundred or so fall outta thin air.

...Sometimes literally.

I just wonder if there's more to this world than we've seen.

I'm sure there are other continents, though I am surprised just how small these regions are. Put together Kanto and Johto would fit at least three times into my home country. The way the new species show up is...well, interesting, but normally you'd need way, way more that we have around to make for an actually balanced ecosystem.

...I think. I didn't study ecology all that much, but I know there's way more species of animals back home.

Now that y'mention it, the predators really do seem t'outnumber the prey.

[Not that she's ever seen pokemon eating each other, but she's always assumed that's how it worked in the wild.]

[armoredsoul]

By quite a bit, yeah. I'm not sure if Grass types should count as animal or plant species when thinking about this, either, which complicates it even more. And I don't think I've seen any Pokemon here be any smaller than a puppy! That really doesn't seem like it should work--the bigger something is, the more energy it needs to consume, and that energy is coming from somewhere.

There's a few tiny ones, they're just few and far-between. I used t'have a joltik that fit in the palm of my hand before he evolved.

[armoredsoul]

Ah, there are? Guess I stand corrected, then. Maybe any other tiny ones are just...very, very good at camouflage? I know if I were super tiny I wouldn't want to be noticed by the rest of everything here.

[buckyouup]

Ain't sure I'd want t'be noticed even if I were regular-sized. This place'd be right terrifyin' if we didn't have pokemon of our own.

[armoredsoul]

Haha, that's certainly true! My Pokemon have saved my hide more than once, and I don't even travel the routes all that often!
