All these lines are authored by different people and so there ought to be minor differences. So it appears that this author used "This Pumpkaboo is of Super Size." instead of "This Pumpkaboo is Super Size." Also, a while ago, one of my edit was reverted and remarked "It can't be 'in' its Size. It's not a form it can be made into; it simply is." I would never think that something can be equal to the size it has. Usually, we say "something has a small size" or "something in the small size", and occasionally "something of small size". Maybe, we grow up with a different kind of English. What in your kind of English say about this? -[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 04:19, 13 May 2014 (UTC) | All these lines are authored by different people and so there ought to be minor differences.

:I agree with the reversion that "in its Size" is a very odd and grammatically perplexing way of saying it. I would say that "has a small size" and "is of small size" are correct English constructions of the common words "small size" — '''but''' those common words are not interchangeable with the proper-noun form name Small Size. If you insist on putting the form name after the Pokemon name, I would opt for "a Pumpkaboo of the Small Size variation" or "in its Small Size form," or even (in casual usage) "of Small Size," as the Form differences article you cited says. But I still maintain that "(form name) (Pokemon name)" is an equally acceptable construction for all forms of all Pokemon, and since it's terser, it's the one we should be using on most occasions.
