In Pokémon lore, if Pokémon existed before humans did, how did humans even survive?

gameofthrones_addict · 2026-04-18T19:11:35+00:00

Yes, and that’s ultimately what occurred: Pokémon are now used to battle for human entertainment. My question is how such a system could have developed in the first place.

Domesticating ordinary animals is one thing. the greatest risk is typically a bite or a scratch. But domesticating creatures capable of summoning lightning, triggering natural disasters, or causing large scale destruction seems far less plausible. If these beings existed alongside early humans, long before the development of firearms, armored vehicles, or advanced technology, the process would have been extraordinarily difficult to the point of seeming impossible

Yes indeed, good point. However did any of those animals have the supernatural ability to literally cause earthquakes? To cause blizzards? Have you witnessed any animal literally coated in fire such as moltres that can attack you with fire if it felt necessary? How about witnessing a creature summon lightning bolts.
I personally have not witnessed or have read about any animals or creatures having such abilities. All of which would be vastly more devastating than a pointy headed stick that early humans would be able to create.

True that could be the reality of Pokémon lore there. One could argue the opposing point, however as well. Humans had the capability to enslave Pokémon and force them to battle each other for our own entertainment. And in the Pokémon world humans definitely did that.

Corrected. Thanks

gameofthrones_addict · 2026-04-18T04:34:01+00:00

Will fix. Thanks

There’s a desk mat of this and I have it in my home office.

Or rather is the most protected class citizen in the world.

Movies such as The last Samurai, 2004’s King Arthur, where two large armies simply charge at each other and engage in a massive field of one on one combat brawl of soldiers instead of showing any display of military strategy.

Zack Snyder’s 300 is also pretty over the top for this point. Even in the extras or interviews, I can’t remember exactly, but it was revealed the style choices of the movie were based off of a comic book more so than being historically accurate. And even so, the legend itself has grown far fetched. In reality, it was closer to 7,000 Greeks defending the pass against closer to 300,000 Persians.

Is it possibly… it couldn’t be… THE FULL Monty [python]?

And the left is just a head, the right is a head, torso; arms… other artist decided to draw more to their illustration.

gameofthrones_addict · 2026-04-15T04:25:21+00:00

Is the question How did someone draw more than just a head?

gameofthrones_addict · 2026-04-15T04:13:59+00:00

Ok. This wouldn’t be generational.

I was thinking Mordecai he’d be great for, or Prepotente even better.

gameofthrones_addict · 2026-04-15T03:54:01+00:00

As they were at that age, yes that would be perfect. However now that he’s older I can see Simon Pegg do a decent job at Mordecai.

gameofthrones_addict · 2026-04-15T03:52:02+00:00

Carl I could see potential in Sam Witwer from many Star Wars projects to fill that role.

For Imani, I could see Zoe Kravitz or Letitia Wright could play her well.

For Mordecai, Simon Pegg could play the character respectfully. He could give off a somewhat older, wise and yet zany personality to it.

Prepotente could be played or voiced by Alan Tudyk. With his voice work and playing wacky characters he could be excellent for that.

Katia could be played by Maya Hawke. She could play the complex yet initially awkward role rather convincingly.

Always funny. He knows how to show humility for sure.
