      I don’t think this is true, there’s some Pokémon that speak normal language like meowth, lucario, legendaries etc…

          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.

        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

      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?

          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.

      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.

    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.

    all humans are animals

    all dogs are animals

    therefore humans are dogs

    not a very good argument imo

      You’re doing all A are in C, all B are in C =⟩ A is in B, which makes no sense and isn’t what they said.

      They said all A are in B, all B are in C =⟩ A are in C, which is true by the transitive property.

      All humans are animals

      All animals are Pokemon

      Therefore all humans are Pokemon

      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
