Is pokemon more sci-fi or fantasy?

>>29292030
Thats actually a good question

Ill put it in sci-fi because we're still utilizing technology instead of magic to accomplish our goals

What's fantasy about it?

es fake

>>29292090
So is sci fi.

>>29292030
It's fantasy.

Science fiction is also fantasy.

>>29292030
Very clearly scifi.

Science fantasy.

Tech and ayys is involved but you've got magic shit all over the place; wish granting pokemon, pokemon that can make it rain/drought by existing, power of friendship mega evolution etc.

the "spiritual energy" that you use to catch pokemon is literally magic though

>>29292030
It's been sci-fi since gen 1

>>29292030
It's a weird mix like Dragon ball.

>>29292199
There's also the fact that moves themselves are pretty clearly magical to some degree, the existence of telekinetics.
