>>52015001>pokemon based on man-made itemspokemon are yokai. before they were "pocket monsters" people in universe called them magical beasts, exact same japanese term that SMT uses for things like Chimeras, Nekomata, Inugami, Barghests, Loup-garou, Kelpie, Senko, though really truly "Demon Beast" is a more accurate translation.
Some yokai are inanimate objects that came to life. Or were possessed by angry ghosts.
Pokemon is a magical universe. Canonically. They take a very scientific approach to it, what little they've come to understand, but it has magic, and these creatures they live with are magical creatures. It is fitting they should bear resemblance to magical creatures of our own world's myths.
