(Still the wrong word, and direct sequels is clearer.)
Line 43: Line 43:
Pokémon begin their lives by hatching from {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and many of them will [[Evolution|evolve]] to grow stronger and larger during the course of their lives. Pokémon are not immortal, as can be seen from the Pokémon gravesites found in [[Lavender Town]], [[Mt. Pyre]], the [[Lost Tower]], and the [[Celestial Tower]], though being that their abilities far surpass those of normal animals, it may seem to be this way for those who do not follow the series as closely.

Many Pokémon are much more powerful than others, and some, due to this, have [[legendary Pokémon|passed into legends]] that are told in the Pokémon world. It has not been consistently illustrated whether or not these Pokémon really do have the power that their legends state, though the general consensus is that, in the wild, a Pokémon's abilities are truly those of the legends, while a Trainer who captures one in a Poké Ball will limit its power.

Pokémon may be influenced by the Japanese folklore of {{wp|yōkai}}, special creatures with strange abilities, sometimes even created from inanimate objects.
