There don't seem to be any normal animals in the pokemon world, and it is implied by Canalave Library that humans are just another branch of pokemon. If there are no normal insects, worms or other decomposers, then those niches must be filled by pokemon. If that is the case, then how small do pokemon get? Could it be that even the bacteria are just microscopic pokemon?
Mind. Blown.
>>26069435
Is Pokérus a Pokémon?
>>26069435
The Pokémon World is Earth with extra regions.
>>26069466
Well, its name is a portmanteau. So probably a pokemon
>>26069466
It's "tiny organisms" and every living thing except plants seems to be a pokemon.
if humans are pokemon is there a moral reason I can't catch pokegirls
Normal non-pokemon fish
>Several Generations from now.
>A Pokemon named "Pokerus" is released.
>It's literally just the virus, having been discovered by scientists to actually be a Pokemon itself.
>Has an Ability that automatically infects other Pokemon in its party with and enemy Pokemon that make contact with it with Pokerus.
>It gets some kind of stat boost whenever it infects an enemy Pokemon, or if the enemy is already infected.
>>26069480
No. It is not a Pokémon.
>>26069475
>>26069477
Why does Game Freak hate elephants?
>>26069505
>>26069477
>>26069475
Fuck off Mewtist, you autistic underaged cunt.
>>26069499
Never going to happen.
>>26069505
Can the Pokerus learn Crabhammer?
>>26069511
They don't. The scientists in the Pokémon World are just testing Pokémon against Elephants
>>26069435
The third movie was originally going to involve a real T-Rex as the antagonist, and it would've explained what happened to all the animals.
That was deemed too complex, and Takeshi Shudo was forced to write a new script. He was not pleased.
Somebody out there bought that script for an obscene amount of money, and is keeping it all to themselves. The lore is out there, but we're never going to see it, and the man who wrote it is now dead.
>yfw
>>26069545
Pokerus learn Crabhammer?
No. It is not a Pokémon. It's a animal.
>>26069516
The Pokémon World is just Earth with extra regions.
>>26069499
I could see them releasing Pokerus as a rare/event mon with like 1 in each stat but can be given up to infect one of your mons
>>26069505
Pokerus aren't Pokemon, just as humans aren't Pokemon.
Don't forget Deoxys though, that was originally a non-Pokemon virus that mutated and became a Pokemon. Hell, maybe Deoxys was originally Pokerus. It's the only microorganism in the series, and its origins are unknown...
>>26069556
Can a crab learn Crabhammer?
>>26069574
1. There are different types of microorganisms.
2. Pokérus is not a Pokémon. It's non-Pokémon Microorganism.
3. Animals exist on Pokémon Earth.
>>26069606
Can a crab learn Crabhammer?
No. Only a Crab Pokémon or Mew the ancestor of All Pokémon can learn it.
>>26069490
Pokéballs weren't created to catch Human beings
>>26069639
>Only a Crab Pokémon
Then why can a crawfish pokemon and a shrimp pokemon learn it?
>>26069621
>1. There are different types of microorganisms.
In the Pokemon universe? We know of one named virus, that's Pokerus, and it's of mysterious origin. Just like the space virus.
Just like Clefairy. Just like Jigglypuff.
They're all alien species.
>>26069657
I was talking about animals not able to learn it, while Pokémon can.
>>26069665
Please stop and yes, there are different types of microorganisms.
>>26069665
Viruses arent microorganismos, theyre not even truly "alive"
Pokemon arent microorganisms in the sameway animals arent bacteria
Theres kingdoms that separate plants (trees,not animals capable of photosthesis) animals, bacteria, fungi, etc
>>26069480
So effectively Pokemon = Lifeform, or at least Lifeform + Spirits + Animate Objects.
Can you catch humans in Pokeballs?
You think that's air you're breathing?
Probably only Eukarya are Pokemon. Or Pokemon are all animals in which some have evolved to more closely resemble plants and fungi.
It's a video game so really don't think about it too hard. Same reason why family trees don't work in Pokemon.
>>26069665
Viruses aren't organisms. They are classified as non-living.
>>26070158
Pokémon are not Animals.
>>26070345
You should at least quit using Dex entries from before the DS games
>>26070379
I can use anything in the Pokédex that, I want. Pokémon World is Earth with extra regions.
>>26070419
Please stop posting, you're terrible.
>>26070452
Go away please. You are terrible.
If you pay attention to the lore.
You would know that Pokémon are Extraterrestrial species from space.
They were never animals.
>>26070452
but Animals do exist in Pokémon Earth.
They are not Pokémon at all.
>>26070469
Not all. Some were directly made by man like Porygon and others indirectly like Grimer and Voltorb.
I can't even laugh at mewtist anymore.
It's just kind of sad as it goes on.

>>26070481
Normal Pokémon.
>>26070419
Keep posting mewtist. I need fap material.
>>26070345
I don't know why you're posting that when it doesn't prove anything, except that Indian elephants aren't Pokemon. We can call them metazoans if that'd make you happier.
>>26070505
>fap to non-porn?
You are not Human.
>>26070495
Are you saying voltorb, the ball pokemon isn't a normal pokémon?
>>26070520
It's a Artificial Pokémon.
>>26070520
Of course it isn't a normal pokemon. Everyone knows it is an electric pokemon.
>>26070506
just to acknowledge that Pokémon and Animals are two completely different species.
>>26070553
No they aren't.
>>26070566
Yes. They are two completely different species.
You are going against canon information.
>>26070572
But they're not.
>>26070553
>different species
>species
They are different kingdoms, not species.
Do you even science?
>>26070580
a Mouse can't control Earthquakes.
A Mouse can't control Fire.
A Mouse can't have supernatural powers.
Please create a rule to make mewtist posts a bannable offense.
Even goo.drafag and his 7 successors are better than this.
>>26070582
different species.
Pokémon are supernatural, intelligence extraterrestrial species from space.
Animals don't have supernatural powers.
>>26070602
I talking about Pokémon species.
I'm on topic. You need to leave, if you don't want to see this.
>>26070599
Pikachu is, the mouse pokémon.
>>26070619
It's a Mouse Pokémon.
It is not a Mouse Animal.
>>26070603
If they are truly from space then they would constitute another domain of life different from the three domains (eukaryota, bacteria, and archea) on earth.
Pokemon are in their own domain of life with their own kingdoms, phylums, etc.
>>26070553
Animalia is not a species.
If you're so butthurt about Pokemon being called animals, they can merely be one branch on the tree. They are descended from animals, therefore they are animals. An Indian elephant not being a Pokemon doesn't make all Pokemon non-animals.
>>26070626
Pokémon are animals. They are alive like animals instead of plants or microorganisms.
>>26070635
No. They are not Animals.
>>26070638
Please go you are upsetting me. Pokémon are Animals they, are alive like Animals.
>>26070633
1. There is no if.
They are from space.
2. You don't know what happen on other planets in the Pokémon Universe.
>>26070638
Animals don't even exist in the Pokémon world.
>inb4 outdated dex entry
>>26070553
Animalia is a kingdom, not a species. You must reword your argument otherwise it is invalid.
>>26070645
Leave. You know nothing about Pokémon.
>>26070648
>They are from space.
Prove your assertion mateyate.
>>26070648
I can make an educated guess from data gathered from earth's organisms. Convergent evolution would make life on other planets akin to life on earth.
>>26070650
Animals don't even exist in the Pokémon world.
A freaking non-Pokémon butterfly exist in the Pokémon Earth.
>>26070659

Next you're gonna tell me owls aren't birds

Animals exist in the Pokémon Earth.
>>26070671

>>26070671
Whatever you say.
Sure...I don't know about Pokémon.
Oh...Wait.
>>26070688
Yeah? I'm waiting.
Show me how much you know about pokemon mewtist.
All those objects and non-organic Pokemon?
Those are essentially microbe-type Pokemon living in colonies, their DNA dictates their colony's appearance (aka extended phenotype) and what material they use. They specialize their functions to becomes eyes, muscles and the like.
So Geodude is just a bunch of bacteria using sand and rock to form a weird rock structure that can move. That is why Potion works on Geodude just as well as on organic Pokemon.
Hell, ALL Pokemon are microbe-type Pokemon that inhabit a shell. This explains why they're so highly compatible when it comes to breeding. There are as many microbe-type Pokemon as there are egg groups.
The most basic is Ditto, who is basically a stem cell variant of these microbes without a proper form, but able to copy others proteins to quickly transform.
Wild microbe-type Pokemon do recycle material and shit.
There.
>>26070698
Where to start?
>>26070670
>>26070675
Show it to me. The instance you're talking about, I mean.
>>26070660

>>26070731
You're the expert and don't even know where to start? What a joke.
>>26070761
Stop cherrypicking and start making your attempt to prove that ALL Pokémon are from space, and not just a few species.
Autism: the thread
>>26070747
I don't have any pictures of it.
It's in Pokémon X and Y.
It can be seen in a Pokémon Battle in the Background.
>>26070771
Pokémon have a extraterrestrial origin.
>>26070763
I don't know where to start, since. You haven't ask anything about Pokémon being Space Aliens.
>>26070763
Masuda: We actually don't think of the world of Pokemon as Earth. IF we were to do that, we would kind of be limited by what we could do. By thinking about how physical objects work on Earth and how various elements work on Earth, we would be kind of limited to that if we thought of it as Earth. We think of it as a place that is really similar to Earth, but is a different panet of it's own with people on it who may be similar to people on Earth, but they have different values so they care about different things. It's the type of place, the Pokemon world, where problems we face on Earth just wouldn't happen. There wouldn't be golbal warming, water shortages, or anything like that. It's a world where the people in it really want to work together with each other. Their value system is such where they would prefer to work together and eliminate these problems rather than feud.
>>26070790
I guess you really don't know anything about pokemon do you, huh?
>>26069435
ah...fuck man...
now i cannot stop thinking about it...
>>26070782
That...isn't evidence to back up your claim. That's just your claim, repeated again.
Who the hell is this autistic kid with an english worse than mine that keeps spamming these pokedex entries and the "all pokemons are aliens" memes?
>>26070791
Didn't you claim earlier in this thread that
1) there are real animals in the Pokémon world, and
2) the Pokémon world is Earth?
This post alone disproves both of those points.
>>26070827

That's one pokemon, just because one of them (2 if you want to consider clefairy) does it mean that ALL pokemon are alien
>>26069505
it doesn't say pokerus is not pokemon
STOP ANSWERING HIM YOU FUCKING TWATS HE'S JUST GONNA KEEP SPAMMING FUCKING DEOXY AND CLEFAIRY ARE FROM SPACE THEREFORE EVERY POKÉMON IS
HE DOESN'T FUCKING CARE THAT THIS IS NOT EVIDENCE, HE'S JUST GONNA REPEATING
STOP GIVING ATTENTION TO THIS RETARDED FOR THE LOVE OF god
>>26070879
why so mad?

Pokérus is not a Pokémon.
Nice Fanon doe.
>>26070475
>>26069492
Hate to break it to you, but these screenshots of old anime episodes don't prove anything.
The reality is that these episodes and their content have since been retconned. The official canon now states that animals don't exist in the world of Pokemon, and are in fact replaced by Pokemon.
See pic related. Official marketing material from The Pokemon Company International - the Pokemon Product Approval Manual.
>inb4 "but look at this image of a mongoose in the anime"
>>26070862
Well the Beheeyem line too, but i don't want to feed this idiot anymore.
>>26070903
Nah. That's wrong.
Look at Beldum Pokédex entry.
It mention Earth.
>>26070648
You realize that, by virtue of the fact that some Pokemon are specifically mentioned as having come from space, that a Pokemon having come from space must be notable? If every Pokemon came from space no one would bother writing in the Pokedex "holy shit guys this one's from space" because it'd be applicable to every single one.
>>26070920
Pokémon have a extraterrestrial origin.
>>26070919
the earth is just the name of the world you literal artist. It's not THE earth.
Jesus christ I'm arguing with a brain damaged child right now. I need sleep.
>>26070923
STOP FUCKING SAYING THAT IT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING HOLY SHIT
>>26070919
>It mention Earth.
which
1. Doesn't prove anything in regards to animals existing and
2. Earth is the name of the world of Pokemon. That's why it's referred to as "Earth" so much. But it's not OUR Earth, just another world that has the same name.
>>26070923
Refer back to >>26070827
>>26070919
Texas mentions Paris too, but France isn't in North America.
>>26070945
What do that have do with Pokémon.
>>26070935
I said. It's Earth in a parallel universe in several other threads before this one.
>>26070927
It's Earth in a parallel universe with different laws.
>>26070962
No my friend, you literally said "it's Earth". If you're saying it's an alternate version of Earth with some variations then sure, that makes sense, especially considering Masuda's quote where he says it's not like Earth even though it has Earth elements.
TL;DR We're in agreement here.
>>26070954
Things can have similar names without being the same thing.
Just because earth is referred to doesn't mean it's the same earth you're thinking of.

butterflies, fishs exist in the Pokémon Earth.
>>26071071
Not anymore
>>26070903
>>26071106
Play Pokémon X and Y.
>>26071106
In X and Y, fresh-caught fish is served at the restaurants in Lumiose City and real world butterflies appear in the background at some places during Pokémon battles.
In Pokémon Colosseum, when Nascour asks Venus about the progress of her takeover of The Under, she comments that "a couple of mice appear to be running loose".
