They take on many [[shape]]s and [[Size and weight variation|size]]s, resembling animals and living creatures in the real world. However, they possess several fantastic powers not demonstrated by most real animals, including the manipulation of aspects of the material world, such as {{t|electric}}ity or {{t|fire}}, each having their own [[type]] and [[Pokémon category|categories]]. It is implied that there are more Pokémon always waiting to be discovered beyond the current count. | ||
While most Pokémon resemble animals and may behave like them, there are many that do not resemble animals at all, taking on other forms such as plants, inanimate objects, machines, human-like forms, or other more enigmatic and exotic appearances. Pokémon inhabit an extremely diverse range of habitats, ranging from the driest [[desert]]s to the lushest jungles, the deepest oceans to the highest {{cat|mountains}} and everything else in between, even [[Extraterrestrial Pokémon|outer space]] and other [[dimension]]s. Pokémon take up various ways of living in those places. There are many uses to spending time with Pokémon; some people take them in as pets, some study them, but all Pokémon can be befriended and made into potential allies. A common symbol of partnership between human and Pokémon is often met by putting the creature into a [[Poké Ball]], in which all share the ability to shrink down small enough to fit into. Many people who raise Pokémon are called [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, people who dedicate their lives to Pokémon, participating in multiple activities involving the species. Not all Pokémon Trainers are seen as kind towards these creatures, and many [[villainous team|villainous organization]]s seek to use Pokémon in malicious ways. | While most Pokémon resemble animals and may behave like them, there are many that do not resemble animals at all, taking on other forms such as plants, inanimate objects, machines, human-like forms, or other more enigmatic and exotic appearances.
