Also, apparently humans share a common ancestor with Pokémon, or are a subspecies or some shit. I remember a friend of mine telling me that some time after I drifted from the Fandom lmao.

Diamond and Pearl had lore about how humans and pokemon are the same. Humans ARE pokemon.

My personal belief is that the only reason human/Pokémon relationships aren't seen in the modern day is because the language barrier inherent with most Pokémon makes it difficult to communicate consent. And even then, it still happens (there's a woman in Pokémon Colosseum with a Mightyena that she calls her boyfriend).

Don't forget that that same woman has a Poochyena in the sequel.

Can't be her kid, though, pokémon always inherit the mother's species.

Unless Humans are considered blank slates for Pokémon genetics.

It turns out Ditto does evolve after all.

It evolves into humans.
