Pokémon

Pokémon are fictional creatures that are based off of animals, plants, or objects. There are currently 277 known species that inhabit the Pokémon World; however, it is said that there are more yet to be discovered. Being different than real animals, plants and objects, Pokémon acquire powerful abilities such as manipulating electricity or fire. Pokémon are shown to exist instead of animals in their world.

Pokémon inhabit an extremely diverse range of habitats, ranging from the driest deserts to the lushest jungles, the deepest oceans to the highest mountains and everything else in-between, even outer space and other dimensions. Pokémon take up various ways of living in those places. However, all can be befriended and made into potential allies.

Many Pokémon are known to evolve from or into other Pokémon, a process that typically makes them larger and stronger, and more closely resembles growth and development or metamorphosis rather than evolution in the real world. Pokémon typically know several techniques that they can use in battle or elsewhere, either to defend themselves or their Trainer, or to perform a task.

History
Pokémon have been spoken of as friends and partners to the humans of the Pokémon world since the beginning of time, helping them with various tasks from constructing buildings to exploration to much more. Many people in the Pokémon world take Pokémon with them on a journey to gather Badges and compete in the various Pokémon Leagues as Trainers, using them in battles against Pokémon both owned by other Trainers and found in the wild.

Pokémon are shown to be creatures with distinctively more anthropomorphic qualities than real-world animals. They seem to be able to understand human language, while humans cannot understand Pokémon speech. it is implied that Pokémon inhabited the world before the human species did, and said that the humans were created by a mysterious God-like Pokémon that wanted peace and order on Earth instead of Pokémon running around and causing chaos. Later on, PokéBalls were created, and each day to year, changes or updates have been made to it.

Communication
Most Pokémon only talk by saying their names, some others have different sounds. Pokémon are able to understand human speech easily, but humans cannot understand Pokémon talk.

The Professors later invented a machine called the PokèTranslator that was able to translate some of the Pokemon's speech, and by time it was able to translate everything. Before the invention, trainers used to guess by the look on their faces, or by letting their Pokémon talk to the wild Pokémon and try to understand by charades.

There are however some Pokémon that draw using an attack they have, to explain, or by writing what they want to say on a piece of paper, but is rare to find Pokémon that know how to write the human writing, let alone know how to write.
