Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.
Imagine living in a world where squirrel you startled would jump out of a bush and electrocute people. Or that flower you tried to pick was actually a pokemon and just sprayed you with sarin gas?
In that world I would empathize with gun nuts. How else will you deal with the 30-50 feral Lechonk that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?
Uhh, just punch it to death? It's a normal type, it's weak against fighting.
Type barely matters once you're 5 levels apart.
It might matter a little more in a 30v1 against angry New York commuters.
Eh, Levels bring a linear increase in strength and durability, while an effective attack doubles your damage output. So you'd need twice your opponents level to make up for type disadvantage. Of course, that's assuming you're fighting against a pokemon controlled by a human player. However, wild pokemon can't take full advantage of their type advantage.
Imagine a world where someone can destroy a building by summoning a near 30ft rock snake inside it.
Don't forget the psychic ones. Any world with abundant telepathy and mind control is pretty much guaranteed to be a dystopia.
Hypno was definitely one of the scariest Gen 1 pokemon.
While it awaits its prey, it polishes its pendulum. If anyone comes by, Hypno will hypnotize them and eat their dreams. It carries away people having good dreams and is even known to have stolen a child at one point.
at one point
Weak sauce.
Drifloon:
Stories go that it grabs the hands of small children and drags them away to the afterlife. It dislikes heavy children.
Humans have a tendency to make other animals go extinct, so much so that we've already killed hundred thousand of years of evolution. I wouldn't be too worried about the short-term effects on humans.
In some regions of the world it's illegal to leave home without a gun. For this reason
So...Australia.
The beedrills are 12 feet tall in Australia and breathe fire
Good luck training your red back spider to fight paralysis ticks
In a world where Beedrill exists, I'm bringing fire pokemon absolutely everywhere. Hell, if they make a three foot cockroach pokemon, I'm never leaving the house again.
Why’d they make it hot

Snorlax randomly diverts traffic by napping in the worst place possible.
Fortunately people have alternatives to driving and walking, because predatory birds (and some insects) grow large enough to carry a human.
They're frequently used in protests!
Imagine somebody unleashing a flock of Wailords in a protest
Considering the relative size of a pokeball and a Wailord, a Wailord is a bomb. Just take your pokeball inside any building you don't want to exist anymore, and release the Wailord.
In lore pokemon can supposedly scale their size which is part of how the ball works (forcing them to miniaturize), but I don't recall any show ever showing unlimited resizing
"Why do guns exist in Pokémon?"
Pokémon:
Literally Palworld
Exactly. Why do you think people like it so much?
Digimon cannon parity
Dat beedrillussy doe
I am afraid it looks more like an extruding pointy appendage.
Don’t threaten me with a good time!
There would absolutely be a fandom around getting fucked, in whichever hole, by those "drillers".
I used to wish I lived in a world like Pokemon, with endless interesting creatures with crazy abilities
Then, I realized that Earth is that world, except we've just killed off most of the animal life. Even the fireflies... They used to be everywhere in summer, I recently met kids who had never seen one. I found two in the middle of the woods during summer - literally surrounded by miles of forest
We live on a dying paradise, and it's depressing
The coolest thing about Pokemon, to me, was how all those creatures are also completely safe and easy to take care of as pets, and very easily domesticated by a 10 year old.
Like, fuck earth. I want a pet bear that fights for me.
