Who needs guns and tanks when you’ve got a dog the size of a horse that can run at 258 mph and breathe fire? And he’s biddable enough to be commanded by a ten year old.

    Both sides of every conflict would use them. Every military would have divisions dedicated to a particular fighting’s style and they would have a mix of pokemons to match the purpose.

    Reminders when every army still relied on horses? Exactly like that, but with pokemons.

      Perhaps trainers who were fond of a particular type would all rally around one remarkably skilled figurehead. A leader, if you will.

      They might, one supposes, form organizations in which they all trained together in specialized facilities for the promotion of their interests. What would they call such a training area? Well, to pull a word out at random, why not a gymnasium? Considering that facilities of that name are already used for training human bodies.

      To continue down this road of totally arbitrary supposition, I’d imagine any particular region could support 8 of them. Not sure where I got that number, just pulling it out of nowhere.
