>>39776506I wouldn't necessarily consider the artificial or mechanical Pokemon living creatures. Something like a Porygon or Magnezone could theoretically be built/programmed by a person for the express purpose of inflicting maximum harm to other Pokemon with little to no love or care involved in their upbringing. In this case, they'd become literal killing machines.
>making the Pokémon superficially unbeatable will only cause criminal and unscrupulous opponents to target the weak point of the team: the trainer himselfNo one can be 100% perfect you know. Just separate the trainer from their Pokémon while their guards are down and they'll be completely helpless.
