>It seems that the only non-Pokemon are humans. Just like it's a bit of a stereotype to consider humans the only non-animals. Humans could be Pokemon too. Among the most highly advanced species in intellect, they can learn a variety of different things. But they are not much different from other Pokemon. They can converse with other Pokemon. Just a theory, but who knows? What is a "Pokemon" anyways? A "Pocket Monster"? A term created by humans, who created devices to encapsulate all living beings with the exception of themselves (presumably). In the grand scheme of things, what are they? Are "humans" any different?
>More on that. What if Pokémon aren't some sort of Starfish Aliens from an alternate counterpart to our world? What if the Pokémon world is actually Earth, our Earth, only set in a distant future after The End of the World as We Know It, and 'Pokémon' is just a newly created all-around term to classify everything with a certain degree of intelligence? It would not only mean that humans are Pokémon as well, but explain why plants (as long as they're sentient) and creatures obviously dead or inert such as Ghosts and many Rock and Ground types are also classified as Pokémon. It would also explain why Pokémon such as Deoxys (a virus from space) and Elgyem can be captured and contained in Pokéballs, even though they come from outer space and should lack whatever kind of DNA or else the Pokéball recognizes in Pokémon to capture them. It's not that Pokéballs are engineered to capture all Pokémon. It's that they're engineered to capture everything but humans.
