Literally all of them except magikarp and maybe Caterpie. They’re all dangerous magical creatures who can shoot fire and electricity from their body so you can’t go into the tall grass without a magical creature to protect you

The only thing I know about pokemon is when he gets wet he turns into a panda or bear, or a girl or something.

They carry bubonic plague. You'd probably be able to stomp one to death but one scratch and you're dying in the gutter like a medieval peasant.

I don't know if this is a good argument. Consider your average house cat, for example - they domesticated themselves.

Some idiot probably tried to domesticate a Growlithe and got burnt to death instead. Just like real life, almost every animal has probably killed at least one human, usually because it’s the human’s fault.

true pokeheads please let me know, have any pokemon in the games or cartoons etc killed or attacked humans? from my limited knowledge your pokemon always just fight the wild pokemon, but like what if you went wandering in the tall grass without any pokefriends? would you just be getting savaged by a bunch of hosed up wild monster animals?

In ruby/sapphire/emerald when you start the game the professor is being attacked directly by a wild pokemon and you have to grab his balls (:imunfunny:) and save him. It's how you choose your starter.

Pikachu tried to kill Ash like a million times before Ash saved him from some angry bird pokemons that ended up attacking him instead.

Also if all your pokemon faint when fighting wild pokemon it's somewhat implied that they beat you unconscious, at least that's how I always read it.

drat Pokémon land seems like a pretty hosed up scsry place to live. where im from we have basically no wildlife that can kill or seriously hurt you so dealing with electric snails and psychic badgers and stuff would be an absolute nightmare

Also the games explicitly state that Drifloon kidnaps and kills children. I'm not kidding.

Honestly, a lot of Pokemon canonically kill people.
The little ghost stories in Pokemon games also kick major rear end.

Multiple humans have taken a Hyper Beam to the face and walked it off, implying that Pokémon either can't or won't naturally use lethal force against people, or at least that they're less powerful than you might assume at first glance

One was a rocket grunt that Lance was torturing for info, the other is a Skull grunt trying to get you to give him $20

OTOH Cacturne explicitly hunts humans for food, but they only go after people who are already dying in the desert so they probably don't go after someone who can defend themself properly. Bewear absolutely can and will break you in half, but regular bears will do that too

It does use that to avoid it. But then it gets its rear end kicked by the Magical Lizard who's now my friend so its weakened. After that we become BFFs because I provide food, shelter, attention and the ever-important "Friendship" and "Dreams" (Dreams most important in Japan)
