What's preventing physically stronger and bigger trainers from overpowering weaker trainers?

>>56218611probably the pokemon, is my guess. I feel like if you have mons that are so low level that a human could beat them easily, you're also in an area that's close to other people so you can't really get away with it. Humans probably are low attack stat mons too. They might actually have solid defenses or at least special defense from what we've seen in the anime, and maybe good speed like most monkey pokemon. Heck, maybe they have good special attack but most of the time don't have good moves to use it. We've seen them be hit by ghost types multiple times, so I think they might not actually be normal types. Martial artists and psychics are the only ones that are the closest to showing of pokemon abilities, so they're either Psychic or Fighting or both.
>>56218611How about the fact that law enforcement has Pokemon as well as Pokemon having jobs. If they have laws like the real world, there are fates worse than death when you have a Pokemon as your executioner.
They could get electrocuted or burnt to death for trying. That's why the evil teams never directly attack the player I assume, you already disarmed them.
>>56218611Aside from the fact most trainers have no reason to attack each other, it would most likely end up with getting in a fight against multiple Pokemon since at this point you aren't bound to the league rules anymore, you are just trying to defend yourself.
>>56218611Physically strong trainers are no match for the average Pokemon. Should the physically stronger trainer lay their hands on another person, who is a better Pokemon trainer, the victim has every right to self-defense with his or her own PokemonIf a kid beats you in a Pokemon battle, proving he’s a better trainer, and instead of rewarding the kid, you shove him to the floor instead. There’s no stopping that kid from taking out his Pokemon and having them burn/electrocute/freeze/slash/pummel/bite the shit out of you, and you have no right in complaining about it.

>>56218611Literally the pokemon. They say this in the beginning of Gen 1, that you can’t go into areas with pokemon without one for protection. Even the rats in this universe are sufficiently large and aggressive to gore someone.
>>56218611Imagine how tall that guy would be if he didn't take the widest stance possible.

>>56220048Would be smart when you know the guy is sweeping every other member easily otherwise, but grunts aren't ever smart.

>>56220048Red is a terrible example since his Pikachu is a followmon, but the games and anime show Pokemon coming out of their ball on their own all the time now.>grunt kills the player character>a starter, a nidoking, a staraptor, an ampharos, a psudolegend, and a box legendary pop out on their own and go bananas
>>56218611even as a child i recognised that the animation of this scene was silly
