>>53125330>I feel that claiming divine intervention is valid when said god is entirely canon. This isn't some deity I made up to justify the story; this is the creator of the entire world, and has been since Gen 4.Huh? You are arguing a point I never made. Sure, the poke universe has a deity, it is perfectly valid.
> fits very well with the tonally lighthearted, good-natured tendencies of the franchise.As I said, logic, reason and realism dont line up well with universe/IP values. it is not really needed there, that's the point.
I'm not saying what you should write, all I'm saying [in the context of
>>53125118and
>>53125003] is that I dont see a way for human civilization reach the point it is now in Pokemon without taking its original roots in initial slavery of lower pokemon (and then up the chain).
Let's get back to Gardevopir. Think about the bear. Bear is stronk. How many humans can handle the bear? 10-20? 100? But what if we give human power. First, it just spears, then it is the power of the whole developer society - firearms, electroshock, drugs. In case of Pokemon universe, these would be first lower tier, implicitly enslaved and dominated over, then, with the help of time, advancing of the civilization and the cultivated lower tier, human take on mid tier. Now they have firearms. When humans, as a civilization, expand into bear's forest, how many fighting chances it has? It will either run or succumb to the will[power] of the human. If human n Pokemon world naturally expand into the lands of Gardevoir, will it right? A few Gardevoir can do a lot of damage, but there is also a lot of pretty strong mids that can in volume overpower them. Overall, this will be seen to them as one dauting force of humanity. So they either run or succumb (in numerous ways). So in the end we end up where we are started - implicit, indirect slavery behind flashy statement and kinda-lies like "symbiosis" and "Gardevoirs are naturally drawn to humans".
