>>24741871Yeah, even before pokeballs they lived together, so even before that I'm sure there were trainers. Also, trained Pokemon are stronger than wild because they are, well, trained. Pokemon don't seem hostile and people would be stupid to try to fight them, and they all seem to have intelligence (the way of sentience and even insects and reptiles show emotional bonds with each other and people, so friendship is always possible) also, I think that having Pokemon attack a trainer would just have them send out another one or lead to the other trainer sending their Pokemon after you. I don't think guns were necessary, even in war, Pokemon were used, and I'm sure there were cannons or weapons based on AZ's weapon but I don't think they ever took off.
