Something I've wondered. Lemonade and Soda Pop?
Oh, good question!
So it's a little more complex than you might think, so let me really simplify it.
Regular Soda Pop or Lemonade are not the best ideas for most pokemon. However, some pokemon with more humanistic features don't have much problem (Machoke, Gurdurr, etc).
However, most pokemon might not have the best reaction to the sugars, which would be best to avoid.
That's where you want to look for "battle refreshers," which are generic items made for pokemon.
The Lemonade and Soda Pop made under the "Battle Refreshers" are more like themed beverages that are consumable for pokemon, with natural ingredients, fruit juices, and natural sweetness at a low level.
These are also consumable for humans, however it might taste more watered-down versions compared to what we usually have, but if someone has sugar sensitivities, these are decent alternatives.
(Think like the difference between a sugary human cookie and a cookie made for a pet without the sugars)
