Oh I remember this, I saw this in someones sig and I couldn't stop laughing

Pikachu: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

Epic expression there,Pikachu...

It shall be super effective...

The four words a Pokemon NEVER wants to hear.

Now you know how Skitty feels.

Be lucky that Body slam doesn't use weight differences to determine power or it'd have say 500+ in this case.

I've been waiting for this to finally make sense!

Yeah it's odd. Since in the anime weight is equal to power...

That sounds like a nice mechanic Gamefreak can use to keep the battles fresh. Perhaps in Pokemon Grey comes out(Made that up) they might start making pokemon weight matter. Such as having moves benifit from having low weight or high weight. Something like swift could have more power for agility based pokemon and such. while all the rock types benifit from Body slam and headbutt and such.

There are already moves that inflict damage based on weight. Those moves are Low Kick and Grass Knot.

Touche' you got me there. I guess maybe they should start adding more moves affect my weight then. As some of them certainly should but arent. And might i add, that Grass Knot does not particulary sound like a very "Wrestling" type of move that would factor in weight.

Wasn't it made more in the sense of tripping them up, the whole "the bigger they are the harder they fall" thing?... Then again, how it works on pokemon without feet, I'll never know...

Pikachu use Agility!

Ooops, too late.

(Move)
Heavy Bomber -base power of move is calculated based on the user's weight.

(Ability)
Heavy Metal - Doubles the user's weight
Light Metal - Cuts user's weight in half

Diglett was the first thing that popped in my head

Just be glad it isn't a Blissey using Seismic Toss on the Wailord.

There's an item you can get from one of the towns in Black and White(The town with the 8th gym, I think) that cuts your pokemon's weight in half if they hold it... the Float Stone, I think.

I'm fairly sure those are the same item, seeing as his post is 7 months old (when the games were still in Japanese).

The pikachu trainer either swore to never pull back his pokemons... or is a complete saddist

he said ability. not item.

'Light Metal' is an ability (dubbed PokeBody) owned by some of the Metal-specie Pokemon, which effect is 'Half body Weight'-thus useful to minimize the effect the move 'Low Kick', a Fighting-based move which gains more power the heavier the pokemon is. Combined with Float Stone, it cuts the effect even further.
'Nice seeing you' tag anyone?

Or Pikachu missed with Thunder.

Somehow.

Quick, use dig!

Using dig with an electric-type pokemon, on an ice sheet, with ice cold water underneath- that can prove to be a superbly stupid idea.

In Black/White, Pignite can learn Heat Crash, a weight-based fire attack that makes higher damage the lighter the opponent. It makes this move a very useful move against the flying type when Pignite became Emboar, since most flying type are light-weighted, and Emboar is a fire/fight.

It could be worse... It could have been Groudon...

Wailord isn't that heavy and isn't that strong. It'd be like being thwomped by a hot air balloon. It'd hurt, but it wouldn't kill (pokermans.)

Wailord is heavy, but its mass compared to its size gives it a density lower than that of air. Now you know why Wailord is called the Float Whale Pokémon.
