I was thinking whether to split "Weight" off this page. In contrast to height, it is a game mechanic, and with a proper article, we could reduce the text on Autotomize's article, for example. I don't know if it's exhaustive enough for an independent article, so I'd like to have another opinion before actually tagging it. I personally think page size shouldn't really be an issue (for example, [[grounded]] is pretty much needed imo).

== Forms ==
Just wondering, what's the standard for displaying forms on this page? Obviously, we separate them out when their weight changes between forms, but when they stay the same, the page varies between displaying them on timers (eg. Oricorio, Wormadam, Gastrodon), not displaying them at all (eg. Keldeo, Rotom, Burmy), or separating them out anyways (eg. Greninja, Core Form Minior before I changed it the other day). Castform in particular shows its forms on a timer on the height page, but not at all on this one. I know it's probably not practical to show Pokémon with lots of forms (Unown, Arceus) or only minor differences (Pichu) on timers (I was actually under the impression that we stopped using timers like this a while back, apparently not).
Additionally, is there a reason Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist have their form names displayed in line instead of as subscripts? "Mega", "Alolan", "Ash-" I can understand, but Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist sizes don't seem to fit with those, or maybe I'm just being picky.
This concern also applies to [[List of Pokémon by height]] and any similar pages, I guess--[[User:Cold|<font color="teal">Cold</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Cold|<font color="turquoise">talk</font>]])</small> 18:26, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
