POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[Zac]

Not exactly. I think Kriven's point is that Pokemon are basically the equivalent of real-world animals, and since humans are animals here humans are Pokemon in that world. So trees wouldn't be Pokemon since they're not animals here. But yeah as you said there have been hints to real-world animals in the anime and such.

but pokemon aren't just animals. they are plants, fungi, minerals and one isn't even a multi cell'd organism. some are composed of toxic waste. some arent even alive at all.

also in game they people can block pokeballs, so that's why I brought it up
