Pokemon General Discussion Thread Gen VII: Lusamine is greatest villain

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Pretty sure the trainer just prevents you from catching them.

Also it's possible that they're just immune to Pokéballs specifically.

 

[Bobsican]

I remember an episode in Gen 4 where Ash´s Pikachu got lost, Dawn finds it (before they even meeted), thinks it´s a rare Pokémon in Sinnoh and so tries to catch it, but the Poké Ball fails, so she notices it must already belong to someone.

 

[Drite77]

In Pokemon Origins, there is a barrier that stopped Red from catching a Nidoran, but yeah, they problaby are only immunte to Pokeballs

Pikachu wasnt rare in sinnoh, but yeah this is what happened. Team Rocket's BS made Ash and Pikachu separate and Dawn confronted Pikachu sometime later trying to catch it, and her pokeball flat out failed to catch Pikachu after making contact.

Looking great! And holee crap at that stamina.

 

[Drite77]

The next one might also take some time, since EWTRTW is here now

 

[HenryWong122]

If Pokemon were real and you were still in school, what Pokemon-related classes would you take?

 

[Drite77]

Bug Catcher

That is not the name of a class that you can take.

 

[ProfessorKukui4Life]

Easy. No classes, id be out catching pokemon until the day I die.

Or...until I stop being 10 years old 0v0

Pokémon Reproductory Biology

depends on the species

most of the time yes, if it's a grass type then it's whatever word is used for sex with plants and same for the rock types

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

I'm prettyyy sure that plant and rock types are more animals than literal plants and rocks.

 

[DragonEmperor23]

iirc being non sentient wasn't one of the conditions for being a rock

 

[ProfessorKukui4Life]

Im pretty sure that if Pokemon were actually real, none of us would need an education in school lol.

 

[GyroNutz]

If Pokemon were actually real we'd be destroyed. We'd have Tyranitars casually going around stomping out mountains, Magcargo and Volcarona burning anybody anywhere near them + Gyarados going on rages, burning down cities. Not to mention any legendaries.

 

[DragonEmperor23]

That's why you call up Hareta to beat up any Pokemon doing bad stuff. Including the legendaries.

 

[ProfessorKukui4Life]

But if they were real, we would gain superhuman status like the humans in pokemon have lol.

Though I would hate for real world organizations to be like Team Galactic or Team Rocket and such.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

No we wouldn't. We would be 10-B humans against 8-C Pokémon. We die. The end.

 

[DragonEmperor23]

8-C Pokemon made me think of that giant Tentacool episode that was cancelled because it was similar to 9/11.

 

[Imaginym]

There's also that Pokemon and Humans can bond well. Even without Poke Balls, we might still be able to tame some of the more dangerous ones, or at least develop companion relationships with them that make them less dangerous. If we're similar enough to the humans of the Pokemon 'verse, anyway.

If Amie & a lot of the dialogue from the games is anything to go by, a trainer with strong bonds is something to be inspired by.

Without Poke Balls or that capacity for bonding, we're almost certainly doomed.

 

[DragonEmperor23]

Though I would hate for real world organizations to be like Team Galactic or Team Rocket and such.

Why wouldn't you want the only crime in the world to be caused by incompetent people that are easily defeated?

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

I wouldn't call someone capable of potentially ending the universe to be "incompetent".

 

[GyroNutz]

Why wouldn't you want the only crime in the world to be caused by incompetent people that are easily defeated?

Ignoring that Cyrus actually wo

That's another problem; the crime and chaos that can be caused by Pokemon is insane.

 

[DragonEmperor23]

yeah but he's the boss, im talking about the grunts when I said that

 

[ProfessorKukui4Life]

No we wouldn't. We would be 10-B humans against 8-C Pokémon. We die. The end.

And what about the humans above 10-B? Like the Elite 4, Fighting type gym leaders, Ash and any human whos shown to train beside their mon?

Obviously not all of us would be like that but some of us could if Pokemon were real.

 

[Drite77]

8-C Pokemon made me think of that giant Tentacool episode that was cancelled because it was similar to 9/11.

That is ok in my country. It still airs in some channels

 

[ProfessorKukui4Life]

I mean besides Team Rocket (specifically 3 people), the organizations in pokemon aren't really incompetent.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Yeah but we're not those kind of humans, Kukui. We're boring 10-B humans.

 

[ProfessorKukui4Life]

You maybe but Kukui isnt 0v0

 

[DragonEmperor23]

what makes you say that?

 

[DragonEmperor23]

fax, just use them friendship bonds and pull a pokemon swordsman to be stupidly op

 

[Bobsican]

Please tell me Aegislash is in SwSh

 

[Imaginym]

There are some Pokemon that COULD kill us, but probably wouldn't. Maybe they're the minority, but they do exist. Besides any Pokemon that can heal with Heal Pulse, plus Xerneas, Tapu-Lele, Chansey, Blissey, the entire Togepi line, the entire Cleffa line.

"As everyone knows, it visits peaceful regions, bringing them gifts of kindness and sweet blessings." - Togekiss Pokedex entry

That, in combatination with Gyarados would actually probably enforce peace.

"It is an extremely vicious and violent POKéMON. When humans begin to fight, it will appear and burn everything to the ground with intensely hot flames." - Gyarados Pokedex entry

All of the above (Gyarados aside.) are helpful; Cleffa's line can all offer you some form of happiness/good luck if you merely see them in the right way!

And even Gyarados isn't completely horrible. Its Mega Form, apparently lost all brain function, except "its destructive instinct to burn everything to cinders.". However:

"Although it obeys its instinctive drive to destroy everything within its reach, it will respond to orders from a Trainer it truly trusts." - Mega Gyarados Pokedex entry.

With even a Pokemon that berserk able to cooperate with a trainer it trusts, I think trainers who can bond well with their Pokemon would have a lot of potential, if they survive.

There's also the possibility of someone making a good wish on Jirachi if we last long enough (Ex: "I wish for everyone who wrongfully died from Pokemon to get to live happy lives as good people".), or Celebi time travelling to somehow help us.

Any Grass-type with plant-healing abilities, like Meganium is, funnily enough, a godsend for us; After using our nukes trying to kill, say, a rampaging Tyranitar or Camerupt, healing plants would be invaluable for replenishing irradiated/dead crops.

It'd be hard, but doable. Delibird & Tropius's food MIGHT help if it's not irradiated. Pokemon like Dragonair might be able to clear out the nuclear winter by controlling the weather. We would also have Absol in some places to warn us of disaster. There are probably other Pokemon with more obvious, dubious or less beneficial ways of helping us. Most Pokemon could help generate energy. Pansage's leaves whisk weariness away, relieve stress, & is good at finding berries from all over, gathers them & is kind enough to share them with friends.


How about we work out what Pokemon would be most beneficial to us in The Real World but with Pokemon? Much more interesting to ponder than "We all die quickly, lol", IMHO.

 

[Imaginym]

Please tell me Aegislash is in SwSh

Not yet unfortunately. (Also, if you're thinking about it, you shouldn't try to wield an Aegislash, it'll drain your life force until you're dead.)

(Inb4 nobody acknowledges my rambling about Pokemon that could benefit us if all Pokemon were real.)
