What would the real world consequences of pokemon actually existing

>>30778410
We'd be dead. I mean, face it, people IRL are asses.

>>30778461
We already got guns and nukes, would pokemon really tip the balance that much?

I was more thinking how society would adapt to magical, tamable monsters. Is the gym system realistic?

Wouldn't we honestly have to resort to gunning down the bigger pokemon, implying this is in our world everything would be a threat

Wouldn't people being asses mean we'd just kill all potentially dangerous Pokemon? Your post makes no sense and just comes across as retarded misanthropy.

>>30778410
There would probably be laws in place restricting the ownership of truly dangerous pokemon, so I'd imagine owning something like a garchomp would be illegal unless you were a cop or something. We'd probably have to kill a lot of wild pokemon as well since having dangerous creatures in abundance along commonly walked trails would be very dangerous. I don't know how people would live out in the country/have farms since I'd imagine wild pokemon preying on crops and livestock would be a thing, and they're not as easy to get rid of by just putting up a fence around your property. There would probably be a black market for dangerous pokemon as well.

Aren't most of the bigger pokemon far out of the way in the wilderness?

Though, some pokemon like Regigias were in temples, so, I guess the big issue is not fucking with old ass temples. In which case, the offending party probably deserves to have a Regigigas pop out to smash their shit

>>30779732
I imagine getting a pokemon to that level would require a great deal of work, and would be restricted to people who can prove they can do the Gym challenge.

Most cops in the Real world would probably have pokemon like Magnemite, Arcanine, Growlithe, and other easily trained and reliably good pokemon to suit their job

Actually, a Magnezone would be a good Cop pokemon, with decent speed, Electrical shocks and Thunderwave to subdue criminals, and access to moves like Light Screen, Protect, etc

If you look in the games, most people have pokemon, either as pets or otherwise. So, I imagine when people go for walks, they take their little pet mon with them as protection, even if it's just to dissuade wild pokemon from coming close.

>>30778493
Would we even had all the waponry we have irl?. i mean, its not like you need a gun when your dog can breath fire.

Pretty sure pokemon breeding would be regulated as fuck since every mouse can chop a hand with a bite or summon a fucking lightning

Besides legendaries would be pretty good balance enforcers. You cant just put an army to fight a walking sentient natural disaster unless legendaries spend all their time sleeping in cave like most legendaries in-game

>>30780323
>Aren't most of the bigger pokemon far out of the way in the wilderness?

What "wilderness" is even left on the planet?
The only places that are far enough from civilization in all direction are places like Siberia and most of Africa, every other place would still be hella dangerous if "Giant monster" was a possible threat.

Pokemon capture would need to be exponentially harder.
Like, to actually catch something you'd need to be overwhelmingly stronger than the thing you're trying to catch.

In the games there's a limiter that decides a minimum chance of pokemon getting caught (around 0.4%), but in reality a poke ball would be like a net, and the stronger the pokemon, the easier it's going to break it.


So if you throw a pokeball at a pokemon it's not going to be caught at full life even if it's a caterpie.

>>30778410
Considering most Pokemon can level an entire forest with ease, I doubt we'd exist for long.

Hell, we wouldn't even be driven to live underground, because of ground Pokemon who are just as brutal

No because humans just use bullets explosives and sometimes swords and steel/normal is shit for coverage.

It would be interesting to see Pokemon's roles in war. The world already finds their use acceptable considering Lt. Surge used them in whatever battles he fought in.

>>30780788

Assuming poke balls would start out being ungodly expensive, that would mean every single powerful pokemon on the planet would be owned by rich corporations within the first week.
Then they would lobby for civilian ownership of anything past a certain power level to be outlawed.

Capitalism has reached a level of power where even a collision of fictional worlds would produce absolutely no chance in the life of the average human.

Nations would collapse and locals would raise up to lead a region of like-minded thinkers.
Hence why NYC, Arizona, and Hawaii are separated from the US and France is split in half.

>>30778410
>What would the real world consequences of pokemon actually existing be?

Are you saying what if pokemon suddenly existed right now in the present? Or that they've always existed now?

In the latter case I'd say society would be completely changed into something different than what we have now. They would have influenced mythology and much of history with the powers they could bring to budding human civilizations.

You remember that anon who had a Froslass and wanted someone to take care of his pokemon while he was in the hostpital

or that anon from yesterday that traveled to all the regions with his mewtwo

what if right now only the people like that who have really strong bonds with a pokemon in their game got that pokemon in real life?

Kinda like whet happened to that kid in digimon tamers

i mean if you give pokemon to everyone the world would go to shit really fast, but what if you only people who really love pokemon could get and use one?

>>30781127

I'm sure you think it'd be a beautiful thing, but let's be realistic. Anyone with such a "deep" bond a video game abstraction would probably be terrifying with an actual ungodly powerhouse in their hands.

You're giving untold power to someone who has at the very least autism, and at the very worst some kind of psychosis.

>>30780836
It's sad because it's true. We can at least rely on some legendaries not bowing down to capitalist structures, like Reshiram would Ollie out against anything corrupt.

Corporations might struggle since lots of pokemon are smarter than you think, and might stop them from doing a lot of plans. Not to mention it's possible for even owned pokemon to say 'fuck you' to poke balls like Pikachu in the anime

>>30780836

Would probably beat the Communist/Socialist alternative

>>30778410
Can we give this a bit of structure?

Pokemon replace their real-life equivalents. Farms have Milktank, Mareep, Farfetch'd, etc. Rapidash are racing horses, Mudsdale are work horses. My mom's dog is some form of literally my mom's dog.
Non-equivalent pokemon become located in their home environments. Muk and Garbodor generate in landfills, Gible in deserts.
Large cave systems open up in hill and mountain systems large enough to support them. At least one per range.
Berries replace fruit.

That last one doesn't have to happen, but it's inconvenient because berries are apparently larger than their counterpart fruit.
Lots of forests take some pretty heavy damage as bugs are now ten times as massive start to defoliate everything.
Breeding/daycare facilities open up as governments attempt to license breeding and keep 12YOs from doing it accidentally.
Nature reserves become a bigger thing as places to keep the big wild pokemon become more important. And animal rights organizations stonewall any attempts to get rid of particularly dangerous breeds.
Scouts/boy scouts becomes a lot more badass.
Jurassic Park eventually does open up, perhaps actually safer as the attractions become recall-able. Zoos and aquariums on the whole become better and more diverse as animal transport becomes so much easier with pokeballs.

Well, think about it, a pokemon that strong that evolved under the influence of a 10 year old might be neat. It could very well be the equivalent of having a guardian. What if the pokemon evolved specifically to keep its trainer out of trouble? Pokemon are pretty smart

I can easily see parents giving their kids pokemon as a way to keep an eye on them, even if the parents are busy.

>Smogon imprisons all Legends to do their bidding for tournaments

>>30784068
In all honesty the Pokemon world shouldn't exist.

The world would be a much safer place. Muslims and kikes would easily be wiped off the planet. So would niggers since animals can't control Pokémon and other animals hate their guts.

Seems pretty nice. I guess the only problems would be evil organizations and the occasional upset legendary.

There would definitely be huge regulations on breeding. Overpopulation would likely be a serious problem and culling would be necessary.

Battling likely would also be regulated. You can't go around fainting and possibly killing all the wild pokemon in the area.

I doubt the pokecenters would be free, that's all lot of money with no real return except maybe donations.

Nukes I think would be obsolete; pokemon are seen as more sentient than most animals irl and killing all of them in a large area I don't think could ever pass through government. Guns might still be around. You don't really have to tell a gun to kill something and it's quick if you have good aim and it can't disobey you.

A gym-like system would probably be in place to test the strength of locals. They have varying levels meaning you can train there for a while. The school system would probably be in place.


Life would be so much cooler though.

So, something like this basically.

I think if Pokemon was adapted to real life then breeding wouldn't be as easy as riding a bike back and forth and getting an egg every two seconds. In the games you get an egg after however many steps. Who knows how that would translate to real life. Pokemon would probably take time to breed, hatch, and grow just like normal animals and selective breeding would take a long time. Also, how many people mass breed animals for albinos? It just doesn't make sense.

We would be conquered and/or killed.

If we are lucky, we would be made into their pets because this is exactly what would happen if we introduced creatures with powers far more powerful than any human or human weapon who are also sapient.

Pokemon would decide all territories and laws. We would be a non factor upon their introduction.

>>30789485
>Overpopulation would likely be a serious problem and culling would be necessary.

Yveltal's job is to euthanize the masses and Zygarde exists to make sure the job gets done to reasonable efficacy and no more

>I doubt the pokecenters would be free, that's all lot of money with no real return except maybe donations.
There are plenty of first world countries with free health care desu

>Nukes I think would be obsolete; pokemon are seen as more sentient than most animals irl and killing all of them in a large area I don't think could ever pass through government.
So which it? Are they obsolete or are the overregulated?

Dittos slowly take over the human race, you might not even know it but your girlfriend or wife might be a ditto. Your kid could even be a ditto. You could even be a ditto. If you can't trust yourself who can you trust? Certainly not those dittos on the website "4chan".

How likely is it that yvetal can control all of the pokemon's population over the entire world? That's Santa level bullshit. I would think that humans have regulations created with and enforced by yvetal every few years.

How advanced is health care and medicine in 3rd world countries compared to the US? I also feel like 3rd world countries wouldn't be so impoverished. There are pokemon that help to create water and food. Pokemon are real so irl physics is going to be different.

I'm saying nuclear weapons and warfare would be obsolete. Why waste money and resources on making nuclear weapons when some pokemon are even more powerful and efficient?

Guns would probably still be around but I can't predict in what amount. It would be perfect for organizations like team rocket. I think they'd be around, but harder to get.

Most are extremely territorial and in the game are generally kept in line by humanity and what mons they are able to tame.
