Pokemon then:
>Set on our Earth (mentions of China and South America in the Pokedex), normal animals with control of the simple elements (water, grass, fire, ground). Humans are still the doninate life forms
Pokemon now:
>Bizzaro world where the Pokemon are gods and humans are clueless animals. Pokemon are now Demigods that control the seas and rule the Earth
What went wrong?
>Pokémon Sun and Moon starters still not revealed

Pokémon were always Deities.
>Bizzaro world where the Pokemon are gods and humans are clueless animals. Pokemon are now Demigods that control the seas and rule the Earth
That's only legendaries.
You took a cartoonish series where lizards breathe fire and rats charged electricity and tried to put real life logic into these creatures that would dominate us if they had an inkling of sentience
>>25650664
This frustrates me more than OP
>>25650705
Gen 1 Pokemon were actually plausible animals
Then Gamefreak went stupid with a thinking they need a new gimmick legendary every generation
>>25650688
No, no they weren't.
In Gen 1, the only legends were the Legendary Birds (which at most controlled the weather via an undersea current in one movie that was made around Gen 2), Mew (which was just "omg it's super rare"), and Mewtwo.
In Gen 2 you got your mythical Legends like Ho-Oh, Lugia, Celebi, and the Legendary Dogs. These guys were at best demigods.
Gen 3 busted out actual gods with Groudon and Kyogre, and Gen 4 made it official when they busted out Arceus the Creator God.
>>25650732
>Animals
Keep at it
>>25650732
Pokémon were never Animals.
>>25650637
Before Arceus was revealed Mew was considered the god of all Pokemon due to being the ancestor of them, keep Mewtwo in mind who was created from her DNA and you've got another god or even a demigod. Now remember all the rumors from Red and Blue about the PokeGods and you'll realize there have always been Pokemon gods. It's just like the real world, there are so many mythologies out there and we as humans have no way of knowing if those deities actually existed or do exist, meaning we are clueless animals.
>>25650637
who is this guy
>>25650637
You mean what went right?
>>25650637
GF decided to start giving legendary mons the kind of lore a child would come up with
>>25650743
All Pokémon are supernatural.
They always were.
>>25650760
Mew was never considered a god. Mew wasn't even a demigod. Mew was an ancestor.
Would you consider ancient bacteria gods? No? Even though they were the forerunner to every living thing on earth? Still no?
I believe I've made my point.
>>25650760
Mew was never considered God of All Pokémon.
>>25650786
Mew is not bacteria.
They are Extraterrestrials.

This. Celebi was pushing it. But Celebi was just a time traveler
Gen 3 is where it went down hill
>>25650823
Ghost Pokémon have DNA as well.
>itt /vp/ is crying about science and myths in a game about magical animals for children
>>25650732
Oh yeah, Psychic palm trees, electric orbs, three-headed birds, flaming unicorns and whatever elektrabuzz is are totally plausible. Yup.
>>25650732
>Pokemon = Animals fags
They're not just "animals". They have never been just "animals". They are monsters. They are extraterrestrials, ancient robots, reincarnated human souls, possessed objects, pollution given form and intelligence, quasi-deities, actual deities, and more. They predate mankind, but many were created as a result of mankind as well, either directly or indirectly.
Pokemon can literally be just about anything. They should not be limited by artificial constraints of what a Pokemon should or should not be. Foxes with anime eyes exist in the same continuity as walking piles of rubbish, cyclopic magnets, and floating icicles that look like ice cream cones. And that is fucking GREAT. I love that Pokemon aren't simply based on animals. I love seeing Voltorbs and Klefkis, Klinks and Chandelures. Pokemon would be incredibly boring if they were just animals that produced and controlled elemental forces.
>>25650763
Shitty /pol/ meme.
>>25650852
The psychic palm trees = lazy creatures that rarely used their powers. Their powers were still pretty simple at that. It's not like the palm tree could bend space and time.
All the rest are pretty simple too
>>25650763
A fucking white male.
>>25650851
Pokémon are not animals.
Is a magnet, a Animal?
>>25650864
>Pokemon were never animals
>99% of them are based on animals
>>25650874
So things need to be simple in order not to gauge your autism about the existence of myths or religions?
Tell me more how Game Freak should stifle their creativity to your needs while you complain that a key chain is them running out of ideas
>>25650874
That's not what we're talking about though, as you said plausible.
>>25650890

>Pokemon were never JUST animals.
Nice reading comprehension faggot.
>>25650890
There is a difference between most of them being based on animals, and crying every time a pokémon is not just a real animal set on fire.
>>25650786
There MUST be a religion that worships the primordial bacteria.
>>25650874
Are you really illiterate, or just pretending?
>>25650890
>151 Pokemon
> Approximately 80 original evolutionary lines
>Approximately 47 lines are based on REAL animals
>>25650937
Mew was never a bacteria.
They are just supernatural Space Aliens that look similar to a cat and reptile fuse together.
>>25650978
Let me guess, you didn't count the ones based on monsters, who are based on real animals? Like Charizard (lizards)or Electabuzz (monkey)?
>>25650890
>99% of them are based on animals
Off the top of my head, we have
>3 magnets

>3 haunted swords
>1 gemstone
That's 7.3% without counting plants, fungi, or vague blobs.
>>25651047
Obviously, because those are still monsters and not REAL animals like I stated
And even then Gen I has a plethora of Pokemon that still aren't animals like Vileplume, Victreebel, Magneton, Muk, Weezing, Porygon, Golem or even Clefable
The mentality that everything needs to be animal-based stifles creativity and tries to pigeonholed a series known as Pocket Monsters into something it isn't. If there's one thing the modern games still do well, it's the Pokemon itself and all generations do have weaker designs than others, but to disregard all of the later installments is close-minded
>>25650637
