Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Pokedex Entries Should Reflect Pokemon's Stats More Accurately

gamerant.com:

Pokemon as a franchise has been around for over 26 years, and there is a lot of world-building and lore that the games managed to create, let alone the series as a whole. This year, Generation 9 of the mainline Pokemon games will launch in the form of Pokemon Scarlet andViolet. These titles will most likely include a plethora of new Pokemon and stories intertwining with the region and its characters. These stories are often told through characters' dialogue bubbles, but as far as the Pokemon themselves go, their background is almost exclusively told via Pokedex entries.

Pokedex entries are often used as a way for players to learn something about all the Pokemon in the games, both new and old, and they are an interesting source of storytelling — one that uses detailed descriptions to demonstrate what sort of abilities Pokemon really have. However, not all Pokedex entries in the series so far have fully made sense, and some of them seem even contradictory when it comes to the actual capabilities of a given critter, which is something that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet should change for the better.

There are many examples that explain why Pokedex entries are not always accurate in their descriptions, besides ones that state facts that are just hard to believe, like Magcargo's body temperature being 18,000° F. Purugly, a Pokemon that is described as being naturally beefy, can outspeed — as in, it has higher base Speed stat than — Pokemon like Latios and Latias, which are described as «jet Pokemon» and are in fact plane-shaped. Naturally, one would think that plane-shaped nimble Pokemon are faster than most other critters, if not the fastest, but that is not the case.
