POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[Kriven]

Now that I've had some Lucky Charms and done a little Medititing, I'd like to reiterate my original point. I got swept up in the debate and forgot my original stance for a while.

When I mentioned the relation between Pokemon and Animals, I didn't mean that as to say that Pokemon were biologically animals, or otherwise Animalia. I meant that they occupy the ecological and evolutionary niche that animals do in our world. So I didn't actually mean that they were animals, but that they are the equivalent.
