The Official "If Pokemon Were Real..." thread

I think burn wards would have a lot more people in them given so many children have fire types.

How would the existence of the, to use a game-centric term, 'event legendaries' be explained in the real world?
Would they just be recognized as historic figures that existed at some point in time way in the past, or what?

Mythical Pokémon, the legendaries that can only be obtained through events, are stated to be so rare that most people don't even think they exist(Bulbapedia). So they'd probably be more like Bigfoot than Napoleon.

I apologise in advance for the dark tone this post is going to take.

In the Pokemon world, trainers go off and start their journeys at age 10, I have my concerns with this. In the real world, people are a lot more sinister than they are in the Pokemon world, generally speaking. Paedophiles, abductors and many other sorts of evil are rife. I don't think we'd be letting children as young as 10 leave to start their Pokemon journeys. Maybe the age would be a little higher, like 16, 18 or 21?

Also, would Pokemon Centres be able to function completely free of charge?

that certainly is a risk plus these kids also wouldn't be that educated. Not that many 10 years can cook for themselves let alone feed something edible for a different species.


the pokemon centres might work like the nhs does in the uk. You pay your taxes and that stops you from having to pay out every times.

I'd say more like 12/13 years old. Besides they have fire breathing monsters and walking boulders as protection. Pokemon centres would probably be free of charge, like any hospital.

In the Pokemon world though, all crime seems to depend on pokemon, so gangsters and criminals would probably battle you, or shoot your pokemon in the head.

I think there'd be a McDonalds where they served Miltank.

Normally I'd be against such a thing, but then I remembered Whitney.

That was exactly what I was going to say!

If you were fighting someone else's Pokemon and you accidentally killed it (Let's be honest, there are a ton of pokemon moves that could kill things) would you be sent to prison?

Rhyperior used earthquake! You caused over $1,000,000,000 of property damage and killed 2000 people!

 

[Pink Harzard]

I think battles with big and dangerous Pokémon like Rhyperior are only allowed in certain areas/arenas. And there could be rules that forbid you from using fire attacks near the forest and electric attack near lakes and swimming pools. Just to make sure you don't damage the environment too much.

It's super effective! A critical hit!

Anyway, like Pink said, there would have to be rules and regulations about that kind of stuff. I suppose it would work like the anime, where there would have to be a referee of sorts to keep the battle in order and within the law. Hydreigon using Draco Meteor would not be permitted where it would cause unsafe harm to humans/property etc.

But the thing about it is, in the Pokémon World, Pokémon have existed for millenniums.

I don't think that people could patrol usage of Pokémon if they were new to planet earth. I think managing that would take a year at least.

Imagine putting your kids in a daycare and you get an egg.

 

[starrybluecat]

"Arcanine come here boy"
*holds fire extinguisher next to me at all times*

 

[Vern]

And then there's the fact that kids could make a living by getting extremely good at beating up other pokemon with their own. Man, am I looking forward to this. I no longer need to worry about getting a job, I'll just train pokemon!

 

[RedJirachi]

The World Wars would be the most nightmarish things imaginable. Yes, even worse than they actually were. I don't even want to know what the Nazis would do with Pokemon like Weezing

 

[21hallcaleb]

i think it would be awesome to have pokemon in real life like to ride in a dodrio race and in the movies instead of slaying dragons they slay salmences and flygon

 

[TaylorJP 98]

OMG this would be soooooo cool. Though the world would be very dangerous, I think? Pokemon used in wars and dangerous Pokemon in the wild. Where I live you can easily just go and walk through like a nature reserve or something because there aren't really any dangerous animals.

Also, would normal animals exist? Personally, I don't think they would and we'd eat Pokemon ..... weird..... Miltank steak

 

[Mega Altaria]

There would be random destruction such as abusing Pokemon for very random attacks and it would be a very dangerous world.

 

[U.N. Owen]

- They'd solve the energy crisis
- Medical treatment will be easier
- Children could use them to level entire island nations

And can we use the Pokémon that can bend logic to bend the laws of physics? I mean we have things that can use trick room to bend logic.
