Would pokémon still be called 'pokémon' in a world without humans? Technically, they wouldn't be pocket monsters in that world.

Are these still considered rice balls if the dub calls them jelly-filled donuts?

It depends if we are talking about a world where humans go extinct or they never existed.

If the humans go extinct, I think they still would use that name, since that's what they are used to; changing it would just make it harder to live a life on their own.

If there were no humans, though, they probably would use another denomination. Or no denomination at all.

I won't put NSFW content on my history, omae baka!

But they know about humans in Mystery Dungeon.

Maybe they'd just be called creatures in a world where no one's heard of humans, and humans don't exist.

Then don't ask for something you don't even have the balls to do.

No one is going to give you the spoon.

Most likely. Or just naming themselves by their species. I do wonder if they would give themselves a personal name.
>>
>>24867485
In a world absolutely without humans, probably not. I'd expect each type of pokemon evolutionary-line would have a name for themselves internally, and maybe a general term overall.

In the Arceus movie they were called "magical creatures" before they were given the name Pokemon in flashbacks.
