If guns don't exist in the Pokemon world, why is there a move called Bullet Punch? How do they know what bullets is?
The same reason the Vanillite line inspired ice cream.
Guns exist, Pokemon are just more convenient.
It's based off the Bullet Train in japan.

In the Pokemon world, why would a high-speed train be called a "bullet" train?
>Bulletproof
>Doesn't stop Bullet Punch
>>24741730
>fists are bullets now
>How do they know what bullets is?
What do you think they use to hunt Indian elephants, OP?
>>24741728
Because it's from the latin bulla, the train when viewed from the front looks like a bubble. This is also put into its fast charging speed. Like a bull. Which Pokemon has, Tauros.

Anaconda malt liquor!
The word Bullet originally referred to cannonballs. We know cannons exist in Pokemon.
>>24741880
underrated post
>>24741693
They do exist in the Pokemon world, there's even an episode where Ash gets a gun pointed at him.
Nobody uses guns though because it's a kid's show for kids, AKA 'reasons'
Of course there were guns, what were the humans in war meant to use and/or defend themselves with?
We know there was also a war.

ashnime doesn't count
>>24743134
They're canon to the games so yes, they do count.
IF GUNS DON'T EXIST WHY IS THERE A MOVE CALLED WATER GUN
>>24743169
>RAPE
>RA PE
>RARE PEPE
>>24741693
because they're not literal bullets, it's because the pokemon punches/pinches/slasher or whatever so fast that they look like projectiles

would you play it
>>24743214
Can my pokemon rape opposing pokemon in battle?Either way yes
>>24743228
Yes
>>24743245
I would play the shit out of that
>>24743189
yes, but how would they know what bullets/projectiles look like if they don't exist in that setting?
>>24743259
cause pokemon likes to break to 4th wall a lot
>how do they know what makes a pokemon a "Mouse Pokemon" if they don't exist in that setting?
>>24743214
They already can, though.
Draining Kiss is basically your pokemon giving the other pokemon a blowjob. Hence why it's only learned by girly slutmon like jynx and gardevoir.
Only retards think that just because something isn't shown in the games means it doesn't exist in-universe. It's like saying toilet paper doesn't exist in the Pokemon world because they've never shown any. Stupid.
>>24742735
Should've pulled the trigger while the still could.

Epic meme bro
>>24741713
It's a post war story with a heavy gun-control
>>24743279
Not only that, but pikachu is sometimes called "the electric mouse."
Which implies that there are normal non-electric mice that we never hear about.
>>24743959
Rattata apart from the size and colour its not that different from a normal rat.
Fa/tg/uy and armchair historian here. The word "bullet" can also refer to the ammunition for weapons like slings. As >>24741758 notes, the word comes from the Latin "bulla," meaning "bubble," which became the French "boulet," meaning "small ball."
Even if we accept that the Pokémon world has no guns, it's a completely acceptable etymological path so long as weapons like slings still exist. Which, admittedly, we don't have solid confirmation on, but is reasonable to assume.
Of course, if such an etymology gave us "bullet seed" and "bullet punch" as deriving from "a projectile hurled at great speed and force," one would have to wonder why they're called Pokéballs and not Pokébullets, but weirder things have happened in language.
>>24743155
Man, the derivation of "gun" is even weirder. It is generally accepted that the word came from a name given to a specific ballista in the fourteenth century (1300s), the Domina Gunilda. And "Gunilda" is believed to have come from the Norse name "Gunnhildr," which...basically means "war-battle."
So, it's the eqivalent of someone naming his AK-47 "Bertha" and then, decades later, having everyone refer to automatic weapons as "berths."
Again, though, since the word "gun" didn't just spring forth full grown from the head of Zeus to describe small arms, it's entirely possible that a similar derivation would have led to "water gun" without the handgonne ever having been invented.
>>24743279
Cladistics, possibly. We do have multiple types of mouse Pokémon at this point, so it's possible that Pikachu was just the first. The scientific name for the humpback whale translates as "Big wings of New England," so it's not like cladistic terminology has to make sense.
