If you consider them Pokemon, you must also consider humans Pokemon because they share a more common evolutionary ancestor. Likewise, you must consider birds reptiles.

Yes. UB's are regular Pokémon (most likely pseudo legends) from another dimension. The interdemensional travel messed with their genetic composition, hence why they can't evolve and all have the same ability.

And yet outside of the pokedex because of the "x pokemon" thing they're never referred to as pokemon.
The closest you get is the small snippet at Aether labs that call them Pokemon like.

Basically they're thgy equivalent of pokemon in the same way pokemon are equivalent to our animals. They're the same in that regard but completely different creatures genetically.

I mean he's not wrong. Everything that can be captured needs a dex entry or obtaining it could potentially crash the game and they aren't going to change the template for such a minimal amount.

They call them Pokemon multiple fucking times

Pokeballs working on them means they're Pokemon. Wicke says regular pokeballs have a hard time identifying them as Pokemon but because they're from an alternate dimension. If they weren't Pokemon they wouldn't work with Pokeballs period. Also the Pokedex literally classifies them as Pokemon. You can't just ignore it just because it doesn't fit your retard headcanon.

Except they don't. Not once do they say or imply "this is not a pokemon"

Being a Pokemon and being an Ultra Beast aren't mutually exclusive things. Ultra Beasts are types of Pokemon.

Then there's the book that says they're merely pokemon like.

There's nothing that confirms they're actually pokemon outside of the hard coded pokedex.

No they don't. Wicke literally says "the ball will have a difficult time recognizing the creature as a Pokémon"

Key words being "as a Pokemon"

Why the fuck would she say that if they're not Pokemon period? It makes no sense. Nothing in the game actually supports your bullshit.

How about the fact that no one knows what they actually are? They fact they don't register well as pokemon should tell you that.

Also I like how you're focusing on that and not everything else.

No. All it tells me is that they're from a different world. But the game still plainly tells me that they're Pokemon.

If a bunch of bots and trained gorillas fill out a survey that catalogues humans, do they count as humans?

But you know what, Nihilego's Moon Dex PARAGRAPH also calls it a Pokemon. I'll concede for now.

It's not like the dex constantly uses the word "Pokemon" in any of its descriptions, species name aside. Personally, I take the moon entry as enough proof that UBs can be considered Pokemon. The fact that they went out of their way to use the word at all is telling.
Does anyone happen to know if its the same in Japanese?

Well, yeah, because all of those things are true. But they can also be "Pokemon" on top of that, like how legendaries have their own classification but are still Pokemon. Which is part of why I'm curious about Nihilego's moon entry in Japanese, in case it was a mistranslation.
