Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] appear to be biologically similar to humans in the real world. Although infants very rarely appear, the {{pkmn|anime}} has confirmed that humans, such as [[Edna]], can get pregnant. According to {{DL|Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh Folk Tales|a folktale}}, Pokémon and people were once considered the same and even intermarried, which might suggest a common ancestry. Some humans possess abilities well beyond those of real-world humans, such as having {{tc|Psychic}} or [[Aura]] powers.
