They can vocalise more than just their names, so if anything, they’re Digimon.
now THATS a hot take. “Pokemon are Digimon.”
That’s not what he said. He said humans are Digimon, not Pokémon. Pokémon are Yugiohs, duh.
I don’t think this is true, there’s some Pokémon that speak normal language like meowth, lucario, legendaries etc…
But they’re few and far between. Every Digimon can talk.
Every human can talk because they were taught. Meowth couldn’t talk until he taught himself how(to try and impress a girl meowth 😭). Humans don’t teach their Pokemon to speak, and most don’t have the inclination to teach themselves. So for all we know every Pokemon is capable of human speech if they were taught.
Eh Idk I feel like it would be more common if that was the case
Idk i think that’s just how Pokemon moo or whatever and the names are onomatopoetic.
Pikachu speak at the very least has some structure to it. “Pika-Pi” is Ash’s name, for instance.
Only those who have beaten the Pokémon league can be digimon. Because in order to be a digimon you must be the champion
In lore it says humans and Pokemon used to be indistinguishable. So probably yeah
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?
A guy Brundleflyed himself with one.
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.
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.
Pokemon aren’t “animals”, they’re kami.
Humon.
I thought Pokémon were not animals at all but their own beings separate from the animal kingdom
A true philosopher
And the gods are the trainers
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.
Aren’t there non-pokemon animals in pokemon?
