>>17955049>No. They are biologically very different than animals. >Summoning elemental forces at wellSome do, but the majority don't and simply serve as animal analogues is what I was trying to get across. A legendary Pokemon is a force of nature, a Raticate is a fucking rat that can maybe do some fancy shit with its fangs if it's trained really hard and gets some TMs into it.
>receiving relatively minor injuries from what should be a fatal attack (explosion for example).Very situational. An Explosion from a pathetically weak Koffing (i.e. a low level one) is probably not likely to carry very much force behind it, and it doesn't seem unreasonable that a lot of creatures could hunker down and cop it without a sweat.
>They are more like elemental beings than animals. Fewer Pokemon fit the label 'elemental being' better than they do 'animal', and most of them are rare or legendary. I reiterate my point about these animals being part of a food web/ecosystem, being farmed, domesticated, bred, etc. which is alluded to occasionally in games.
>It's mentioned in game that they're not really eggs.And there's no way of knowing whether he's earnest, uninformed, talking shit or anything else.
>Daycare couples have no idea where the eggs come from. There is no conspiracy. They literally have no idea. Conjecture, you have no way of knowing whether this is true or it's simply a company keeping a good image going by not mentioning sex. That's the point I was trying to make, you can't say definitively what's going on with Pokemon reproduction, but you can have a reasonable guess
and then argue about it on /vp/ for fun given that they're reasonably similar to the animals we know.
>People (not necessarily you) are just too desperate to fulfill their odd fantasies and fly off the handle with their theories.You realise you're doing pretty much the same thing in reverse, right? A lot of what you're saying has no weight beyond your word behind it, just like them.
