  • In this first entry of 'Is it all lies' we're taking on the Pokémon series and breaking down it's name to it's least helpful and most literal interpretation, to decide if those pesky game developers have played us for fools once again. So let's find out of these Pokemon really do fit in a pocket, before Game Freak make it even more difficult to do with more DLC like the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra!
    Backseat Game Development is a channel that harnesses the power of someone with no experience in game development to meddle with the work of actual industry professionals. Using weird science and general incompetence we'll improve, predict and analyse some of the gaming industry's most beloved franchises. Follow me on twitter for more fun @backseatgamedev

    What would you like me to investigate next in this series? Do the Tomb Raider games really raid many tombs? How much is Nathan Drake REALLY in Uncharted territory? Submit some below and they might just be a future video. Saves me having to think!

    Objection! Flareon can and *will* be put in the pocket! The pokedex entries say that it's body temperature *can* reach to upwards of 3000F BUT according to the pokedex entries from pokemon diamond and beyond it states that flareon has a heat sack and that flareon can control when and how much temperature it can give off up to 3000F so it can choose to give you a lil more heat in case you're cold too! Flareon is perfect and I will accept no other alternatives.

      Nidoran and other Pokemon with barbs, but who are big enough that the head can be kept out of the pocket were fine. Problem with Weedle is it’s a wriggly little fella who would undoubtably accidentally get a trainer as it writhes around. Psyduck was an edge case but I decided to allow it, didn’t have time in the video to go over it. 🙂
