Legendaries are strong but not all powerful dieties, 'lesser' Pokemon can overpower them with enough training and strategy.
Ghost types are born as living creatures and die just the same, they are not the souls of dead humans or other pokemon somehow given new bodies. Same thing with objectmons.
Real world animals exist and Pokemon regard their animal counterparts the same way people regard apes and monkeys.
