Section should probably not be a subsection of games, but I'll wait until after the article intro is tidied up to move it out.

=== In Pokémon designs === | |||
[[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] themselves are the primary reason weaponry is sparse in the Pokémon world: [[Pokémon battle]]s are the main method of fighting, and thus Pokémon themselves can be considered the weapons. In fact, the design documents for the first Pokémon games mentions that they considered having trainers fight alongside their Pokémon, but this was removed because "If you can fight on your own, what’s the point of having Pokémon?" <ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/4/</ref> | |||
However, some Pokémon themselves use held weapons rather than their claws or fists. Others are modeled after real-world weaponry. | |||
