ITT: Super humans discussion.

How much power can an human get in the world of Pokémon? We've seen Ninjas (Koga, Sachiko), Mentalists (Sabrina, Will), overpowered humans (Bruno), etc.

So where are the limits of the human power? Can a human beat a Pokémon in battle?

Of course. Something like a Metapod or Caterpie would probably be feasible mons for a human to beat. But something like Serperior could probably overpower and kill a human. If weaponry is brought in though, I'm sure most Pokémon could go down if enough bullets are shot into it.

Supernatural powers are always better than guns. I'm sure everything can just Double Team that junk and make your guns useless.

Kinda makes you wonder how final fantasy characters take so many assault rounds to the chest yet can mow down generic army grunts with a single sword swipe.

Barehanded, you'll probably get fucked up by pretty much anything that isn't one of the cocoon pokemon or Magikarp. Peak-level human just may be able to give certain Normal or Fighting types a good fight before inevitable rape.

Everything that isn't Steel/Psychic/legendary can get a cap popped in its ass though.

That's pretty much why we invented fucking huge caliber elephant guns. You could probably take down Dialga with a few heavy artillery rounds.

Yeah you're right. I was only thinking of handguns, but I'm sure if you really brought out some super heavy jumbo armor-piercing BLAT BLAT boom type shit then you could pretty much level the playing field.

I don't know how many 'mons could take a direct hit from a railgun either. That one asshole in the second movie straight up tazed the legendary birds.

Then again, what about ghosts? Pokemon clearly are bound to their own personal law of physics, would a bullet be the same as 'steel' attack or whisp right through?

for rock and ground, explosives
most other Pokemon could be handled by regular ammo.
most legends it would require time and special weapons

A well prepared human could likely beat a pokemon out of its environment. I highly doubt any human would be able to beat a Sceptile in a jungle, or a Sharpedo in the ocean.

Humans can go on Pokemon killing sprees if they put their minds to it, actually.

Albeit it isn't delved into much, humans are able to learn moves and come just as powerful as pokemon.

During the early years it seemed as though the world of Pokemon was far more mysterious and mystical, albeit under developed and relying on head cannon.

In game there witches and mystics wondered the land, but their abilities are never discussed

I dunno man, what's stopping that Girafarig from just Psybeaming that guy's shit from 30 yards away?

And not to mention, even regular animals are really good at knowing when humans are nearby. Could you really sneak up on a Psychic pokemon?

Well according to the pokemon books which are an "Easter egg" in I believe the Sinnoh games(dont remember which version they are in), the humans in the pokemon universe actually evolved from pokemon. So there power could actually be undefined. Hence why there are humanoid looking pokemons like gardevoir and the evolutions, mr. Mime, jynx.

Fighting type trainers have been shown to spar with their Pokemon, and even win the matches, but I'm not sure about a Pokemon going full force.

As for Psychics, Sabrina herself was absurdly powerful, showcasing reality warping abilities like transmutation with barely a thought, so yes, I think that she could realistically take on any Pokemon that is weak to Psychic-type attacks, and at least pose a legitimate threat.

Masuda also stated humans have nothing to do with Pokemon; it's not like how IRL humans are a type of animal.

The ancient Sinnoh people just had really, really active imaginations thanks to Arceus and co. being so eldritch.

I the standard rule of anime durability applies as well.
If you think about it, it's extremely rare for a human to be injured by a pokemon, even though most are more than capable of killing a person.
The most recent example I saw was Clair trying to calm down a raging Drudiggon. She got hit with the tail hard enough to send her flying about half a dozen times and barely even flinched.
Ash has been zapped by Pikachu, lit on fire by Charizard, and survived death itself.
The only person to actually die in a pokemon anime on screen (and/or not of old age) was J.
Apparently being aligned with good make you damn near immortal as far as the plot goes.

Actually that's a good question. I mean ghosts are pretty ridiculous and flexible.

In the canalave library, it's pretty much stated that a guy with a sword killed Pokemon. That, and Drayden wrestles his dragons to train them. Those plasma grunts at the dreamyard were just using kicks. Plus, people use technology to hurt or imprison pokemon all the time, so I'd guess that yeah, humans can take on pokemon under the right circumstances.

And all humans have the same four moves: fight, run, pokemon, and bag.
