>>48635639>when they talk about Pokemon and humans eating at the same table it means that they were equals. Maybe that was the intention the original text meant to convey instead of being literal marriage.It means they share a common ancestry you dunce, creation/origin is a central theme of the region, it introduced the creation myth of the entire setting. In evolutionary theory, all life on Earth is believed to have originated from one original origin. That the further back you trade genetics, the more commonalities you'll find between every organism.
The folktale is a reference to that idea, framed as an ancient story/record. You trace genetics far back enough and you'll have common DNA between humans and Pokemon. The marriage part is meant to imply that they could even breed with each other.
Consider the existence of human-shaped Pokemon. Consider the existence of ape-like Pokemon. Pokemon are analogous to animals, so we can assume the ape-like Pokemon are in fact the actual apes of the setting. We can assume the setting features evolution as a mechanism, given it's an actual mechanic of the games. Humans are distantly related to Pokemon, that's all the folktale intended to convey.
