Are Pokémon actually humans? Well that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post. I've actually heard this theory before, so I'll be giving my thoughts on it too. First of all, this theory basically states that humans and Pokémon are the same thing in the Pokémon world. Although this seems pretty ridiculous at first, there's actually evidence of this. Although it's more common with ghost type Pokémon, multiple Pokedex entries have stated that some Pokémon used to be humans. This is seen with Pokémon like Yamask, whose Pokedex entry actually says that it used to be a human who passed away, and that the mask it carries is its face from when it was a human. It even retains its memories from when it was a human. Another example of this is Phantump, who is a stump that is possessed by children who died while they were lost in the forest. Even Kadabra was revealed to have once been a boy with extrasensory powers who woke up one morning as a Kadabra. But if this is true, then why can't humans be captured by a Pokeball? Although it currently isn't explained in the games or Anime, it's most likely because a Pokeball is designed specifically for catching wild Pokémon. Since humans aren't exactly wild, it wouldn't work on them. This would actually make sense because a Pokémon that is already owned by a trainer can't be caught either. But then why don't humans have special powers? Well, some actually do. There are multiple gym leaders with psychic powers. The most well-known example of this is Sabrina from the Anime, who has very powerful psychic powers. So, I believe that it is very possible for humans to be evolved from Pokémon. But, this is just a theory anyways. This is mostly just my opinion too. But, I will still be providing the links I used for this down below so you guys can check it out for yourself. Enjoy!
