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 | 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. | ||
For comedic purposes, characters in the Pokémon world are often depicted with a greatly exaggerated [[anime physics|ability to withstand physical trauma]], such as being {{status|burned}} or falling great distances. The most common occurrence of humans being harmed without serious injury is the frequent electrical shocking of {{Ash}} and his nemesis, the [[Team Rocket trio]], who are blasted off over the horizon countless times in the early seasons of the anime. However, Pokémon can present a real threat to humans, which is why people need a [[Pokémon Trainer's license|license]] in order to [[Pokémon training|train]] Pokémon. | For comedic purposes, characters in the Pokémon world are often depicted with a greatly exaggerated [[anime physics|ability to withstand physical trauma]], such as being {{status|burned}} or falling great distances.
