In lore it says humans and Pokemon used to be indistinguishable. So probably yeah

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

And then in Legends Arceus suddenly humans barely understood how to interact with Pokemon barely a few hundred years before modern times. What genius came up with that nonsense?
They forgor 💀
I feel like they've been forgoring since around gen 7. There's been a weird shift in how the relationship between humans and Pokemon has been written for a while now and I don't like it. But that's a schizopost for another time.
Yeah I think the main issue is that not even Gamefreak has their facts straight.
Didn't humans also marry and breed with Pokémon?
...I try not to think about that part.
I've seen a LOT of visual evidence if this...
So are you saying there's a change of marrying vulpix or eevee?
No, as regular animals exist in the Pokemon world, too. The original games had cats and dogs in some houses. The cartoon showed non Pokemon birds flying alongside pidgeys and such.
The original games also made the claim that Pokemon came from space. They only showed up after a meteorite.
I thought they retconned that in later seasons of the anime though.
Which part? That Pokemon came from space or the inclusion of common animals like dogs and cats? I didn't even know the show continued beyond my high school years until I saw all the talk about the show finally ending recently so I personally have no idea what they changed but the recent games I have played make the origin of the pokemon more mystical.
As far as I'm aware, the inclusion of real-world animal species in the older anime and games was due to the lack of variety in existing Pokemon species. The last time I know they referred to a real animal was in 2016, where the Pokedex entry for Raichu says it can knock out an Indian elephant. More recently, Raichu's Pokedex entry was updated to instead say it can incapacitate a Copperajah.
Can you put normal animals in a pokeball or is the tech bound to the specific alien dna of pokemons and can humans be put in pokeballs, and how dos this all fit in human trafficking technology?
Pokeballs get really sinister when you think about them too deeply.
Pokemon is glorified dog fighting.
But wait, it gets worse. Do Pokemon experience time inside the pokeballs? It's so, they're essentially spend 99% of their life in prison.
If not, then nearly all their life is spent fighting.
Yes. Because answering "no" is more troublesome.
Humon.
I thought Pokémon were not animals at all but their own beings separate from the animal kingdom
I think they have normal animals as well as Pokemon in the Pokemon world though.
There are a handful of shots of regular fish in underwater scenes but that's probably due to lazy animators that didn't give a shit about the franchise they were working on.
Eh, pretty much only the first seasons of the anime reference non-pokemon animals. All the media for the past 20 years only mention other Pokemon when talking about food, prey, etc.
And the gods are the trainers
A true philosopher
Today, we hunt he most dangerous Pokémon
all humans are animals
all dogs are animals
therefore humans are dogs
not a very good argument imo
but that's just straight up not the same logic at all
All humans are animals All dogs are animals Not all animals are dogs Not animals are humans But all the animals in modern Pokemon are Pokemon So the question is Does animal == Pokemon If so human are Pokemon But if animal != Pokemon Then humans != Pokemon and human == animal
Aren't there non-pokemon animals in pokemon?
