Pokemon Human ancestory speculation

[Peppermint Phoenix]

Pokemon and Human had a common ancestor. But what were they like? How did it out compete everything? Could they use moves? Did they have aura magic or psychic powers or nothing? What cause them to speciate? Did they have plant qualities due the existence of grass types(but by that logic mew the first Pokemon would be a grass type)? Were the civilized? It just raises too many questions.

I think that there was a geological shift and some were in an area with vicious predators and developed moves becoming Mew ancestor to all Pokemon (how grass types were born I know not)? While in the other part they was an environment with materials ideal for making tools thus, becoming Humans. There ancestor probably had Psychic powers as Mew and some humans have psychic powers which would explain why they are not very many other animals. They probably had the intelligence of Pokemon but not humans because why would Pokemon lose intelligence but they are smart enough to use psychic powers. Now if only I can figure out the grass type thing...

Anyways what you think?

According to my own canon, humans are Pokémon, but a few thousand years ago, humans became the dominant species, becoming more and more civilized, advancing at a steady pace while all others stayed wild. Humans developed technology like the Poké ball and in turn lost senses, and reflexes, as well as dropping the egg method, adopting live birth.

How Grass-types were born? I suspect that some species of tree and grass and whatnot grew due to advantages, and eventually formed consciousness, and mobility.

I believe all Pokémon, to start, had Psychic and aura ability, and many gradually lost their grip on it, for it being unnecessary, while Psychic and Dark Pokémon kept it due to their need for it.

My theory is the humans in pokemon are descended from a group of humans from earth whose spaceship crashed on the earth like planet. They lost all communication with earth. When they arrived they found the 'magical creatures'. Since pokemon are a lot more sensible than animals, they showed humans what was safe to eat, etc. Just like in that Sinnoh legend that said humans and pokemon lived together and ate together. Eventually humans became dominant and began treating pokemon as pets. Then pokemon battles began.

Personally, I think it's more likely that Pokemon and humans were once the same species and eventually came apart and became their own, so I agree with TFSpock somewhat.

...How grass-types were born... Possibly, when humans and Pokemon were as one, some decided to attempt to become one with nature and succeeded to an extent.

Crack theory:

Humans are the result of a hybrid species created by Alakazam and Machamp which accounts for some people's psychic abilities and feats of physical strength, but inbred with themselves for many generations until they became the current species causing us to lose much of our powers.

Is it really canon that humans and pokémon had a common ancestor?

If pokémon understand the human languishes from the moment their egg hatches, how come we only get "pika pika chu" out of theirs? Why/how did the "human pokémon" isolate themselves from the common "all-pokémon-understand-each-others" languish to make their own?
How come humans aren't born out of eggs?
If there are "normal" animals, why didn't people simply evolve out of them?

Pokémon media feeds us what we want and differs at some points, we're not really supposed to question this.

It's a Sinnoh myth that Pokemon and humans were once as one, and it's said that Mew is the ancestor of all life.

Not everything is known about Pokemon. Maybe there's some kind of "link" is forged between a trainer and the Pokemon he/she comes in contact with.

How come humans aren't born out of eggs?

Easy, we're mammals.

If there are "normal" animals, why didn't people simply evolve out of them?

Because Pokemon are the game's world's equivalent of "normal animals".

It's fun to.

My theory (not a serious one): The world of Pokemon is actually our own and in a near future a new type of X-ray will be developed,the one that will actually remove all inherited diseases from a fetus, but on the first try on a real preagnant woman,the program controling the ray will have an error which would turn the fetus into a Mew. After it's birth, Mew will steel the ray and combine it with a maser , shooting animals and mutating them into Pokemon.

I wonder if someone can make an alternate universe that demythises some elements of the Pokemon universe. For instant most pokemon when they change from one form to another it is not instant transformation in light but rather more a graduate transition development like real world growing up (of course there are traditional transformations but these are treated as fantastical events that are rare). Also most of the special abilities of pokemon are explained through specialized organs. For instance water Types have specialized bladders that store water inside and pressurized the water. Also the some of non-psychic humanoid pokemon are actually sentient its just that Humans are the only race that has technology higher than iron age. The sentient humanoid pokemon have their own culture but they are capable of integrating with humans

In the story I'm working on, the Pokémon world is the distant past. Humans could link with Pokémon, sometimes mentally, but whether they think they were Pokémon is up in the air for them to decide.
Though there are too many differences. 'We' created vast amounts of technology, though the far smarter Alakazam is stuck with its two spoons. We have several complex languages. Pokémon speak is no different to them than chirping or barking is to our animals.
Obviously, crossbreeding was impossible like it is with our animals, and hybrids through cloning always failed because of various horrible problems.
Then something or someone caused the humans and the Pokémon to be torn apart forever, which is why we don't have Pokémon (or psychic powers). But that's another story for another day.

What I'm saying is, before technology got very far, humans and Pokémon probably saw each other more as equals, though not necessarily the same. Put simply, no. Humans in that world are no more Pokémon than you are your pet.

I'm going to say the 'people created pokemon' argument makes most sense to me. Sometime in the distant past, humans created mew, but everything went horribly wrong and civilisation was destroyed. Everything then slowly started over (2000 years or so), creating the pokemon world we all cherish. And the sinnoh myths are just that- myths. If arceus is really the god who created everything, then how does mew fit in? And how dies it allow itself to be captured by some 10 year old kid?
