it doesn't say they're stronger than a human, just that you couldn't beat one in a fistfight.
Kirlia isn't going to put you in an arm bar, it's going to pick you up and toss you with the power of its mind from 40ft away then giggle about how funny you ragdolled.

Ash is visibly stronger than pikachu. We see him occasionally easily lift things pikachu struggles with.
Pikachu casually and effortlessly starches him almost hourly in the first episode, to the point he starts wearing the rubber gloves his mom gave him for laundry.

That said, I am like 90% sure a Riolu out-benches and especially out-cardios most olympic athletes, no PP use.

They don't actually knock out from the balms, nor do you actually catch any of them, they just chill out from nice smells and getting a little winded.

Except Palkia/Dialga, where they don't even chill out after getting winded, and you still need to throw unique, one of a kind auto-catching pokeball made from the Red Chain and ore that contains the very essence of their creator itself.

You don't even tire out Arceus at all, he just eventually wears out and says "Eh, you've shown me enough to prove your worthiness, i'll join you."

Celebi is not a deity. It's not particularly power, it just has time travel powers.

Base stats may not always line up with what the devs wrote, but when every single mythical and legendary Pokemon has base stat totals beyond what normal Pokemon can have aside from exceptions like Megas and the Pokemon who are literally notable for having legendary BSTs, then it pretty clearly illustrates dev intent that these Pokemon are supposed to be a lot more powerful than your average 'mon by default.

tons of humans in pokemon can use aura, psychic powers, ghost powers, etc. People are canonically fighting with mons all the time. Black belts often beat their pokemon in martial arts fights. Ash is literally your average 10 yo in the setting.

>>
>>58439083
No, it's just your classic city slicker who has never had to do anything for themselves because they live a sheltered life inside gilded walls built by people who actually did hard work only to see their descendants become fat and lazy with greed and sloth. These people will never be able to think or grow because they are coddled from birth. That's why the most powerful trainers are always kids from the boonies where they must grow and become strong just to survive a walk between towns.
>>
>>58441814
it was literally a sport here for a while. 15% is high because most americans are out of shape, they just THINK they're the same americans of old, but proper athletes should still be able to have decent odds.

The trick is to just never let it grapple you. Its big move is to grab your neck then full-force-both-feet kick you right in the gut or groin. Same movement that launches them up to 42 feet away, very powerful. If it lands square you ARE out for the count. Or worse if the claws hit. BUT, if it never grapples you, it can't land the ult.

It's also how the kangaroo expects YOU to fight. There's a video of a blackbelt saving his dog from getting choked out by one and when it squares up (humans upright stance looks like kangaroo fighting posture, so it takes it as a mano-y-mano territory challenge and releases poochie) and he nails it right in the jaw the kangaroo backs up and just stares at him in indignation, disapproval, and bewilderment. "Bruh what the fuck was that???? WhathaFUCK was that! What the fuck you doing B, we're suppose to grapple and kick each other! What kind of bullshit cheating-ass thing is that, to just hit a man hard in the face with your arm. These tail-less straight-legged muthafuckers got NO honor, gyatdamn."

So, just amateur opinion here, but seems like the technique is to just use distant jabs and circle the thing with haymakers, because they're mainly only good at moving forward quick, turning is slow. In fact if you can perfectdodge your sidestep counterattack hooks, you'd be hitting it while it's reared back onto its tail and consistently knocking it over, and if you turn the tables and can get IT in a headlock from behind while on the ground, I think it's pretty much helpless, all its attacks face straight forward, its just going to keep flailing and jerking about until its brain loses oxygen.

Now, am I going to do it? Hell no you couldn't pay me. But I think if you were MMA and special trained yourself for it, yeah.
>>
>>58439083
Why are you fags putting do much stocks into one liners? Previous games had trainers getting physical with their Pokemon.

>>58449613
You don't even have to punch them. It's really easy to ruin the vibe of a perfectly good fight to a roo.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/1j2if6k/kangaroos_are_always_ready_to_fight/

Also, if you see videos of roos trying to kick people, while a square hit is a knockout, it seems like they mostly just end up with glancing blows because humans see the kick coming and instinctively turn, put distance, or double over to soften the blow by rolling with it. Still not exactly comfy, but it doesn't fold you like a lawn chair.

The grapple is no joke though, you're not winning an arm wrestle with one. Fortunately they're not great for striking.
>>
People really forgot how powerful Pokémon as a whole really are. Any Pokémon could easily kill regular unarmed human if the Pokémon didn't hold back and had intent to kill. Even with the Pokémon having the worst possible Stats.

No. A level 5 route 1 mon that only knows tackle and weighs less than a dog is weaker than a human. Like a feral dog or hog they are dangerous, but 1v1 a man will win just from size difference.

The Pokémon lore, world-building and canon. Have retcons and also so many issues like contradictions and outright things that don't make sense for the series. That it's best for some things in the series, to just not take them seriously as canon.
