To really illustrate how fucking terrifying Pokemon can be:
Landfill workers having to deal with Garbodors and Trubbish, probably aggressive since these Pokemon need to be reprocessed (they’re still literal trash at the end of the day). Oil spills create hordes of seabound Muk and Grimers. Industrial towns crawling with the aforementioned living slime Pokemon, but also Koffing and Weezing making the air that much worse.
Voltorbs and Electrodes encountering people by surprise and doing what they do best, causing grievous harm to anyone within their Explosion’s range. Like landmines, but they can move, is what I’m saying. Not to mention any time a group of Magnemite passing through an area… good luck getting a signal from your phone, or your tech even working. God help you if a Magneton or Magnezone is in there… and Electric-types like to congregate towards electric plants and such, so one badly-timed Thunderbolt…
Rattattas and Raticates and Patrats, with their massive teeth, causing terrible bite-based injuries to the poor kid that might have been throwing rocks at them moments ago. And remember that flock of Spearows that Ash pissed off really early on in the anime? Imagine that, but with injuries, blood, and the like being more visible. Chunks of hair, flesh, and so on torn right off and eaten right there. Yikes. Zubats are far more aggressive than most real life bats, and Golbats probably wouldn’t be afraid to pop your eardrums.
Poochyenas might be cute, but they’re still based on wolfdogs, and those things are aggressive as hell in the wild. I’d be worried for anyone who lives in an area where wolves are a thing. Foxes, even worse: you’ll be dealing with fire-breathing Vulpix and the sometimes more malevolent Ninetails.
Got kids? Better watch out for them, since Ghost-types prey on the more innocent ones, particularly Driflooms. Litwick groups basically mean death, and even the odd-shaped rock might actually be a Spiritomb waiting to prey on you. Hope you’ve been taking care of your toys, otherwise one of them might become a Shuppet or Banette. Gengars can prowl within your shadows and, with a mouth that big, swallow you whole. Yamasks and Cofragigus are a constant life-threat to archaeologists.
Like, I literally haven’t gotten to the massive, fire- or energy-breathing dragons, the dangerous sea serpents, or the horrific beasts yet, or they screwed-up deities. I am literally covering things you can find in your backyard or find while at work.
