It honestly baffles me that people will reject anything that points to Pokemon being stronger than regular animals (see the outright dismissal of the Pokedex, despite being practically our only source of information on the game's universe). I just can't understand it. People love DC or Marvel, even though the superpowers it portrays are way out there compared to anything Pokemon does and their fictional worlds are a hundred times more inconsistent. It can't be suspension of disbelief either, the general audience understands that just fine, simple example: Earthbenders from the Avatar cartoon shoot boulders at other characters on a regular basis and they take it without so much as a broken bone. No one goes: "See? I could take on Toph in real life." Yet, when a Pokemon does the exact same thing, everyone is suddenly bending over backwards, trying to argue the most obvious conclusion (that even weak Pokemon would be pretty fucking strong in reality) away. Seriously, how come?
