These researches may have more implications in society than what can be gleaned for combat specific moves and abilities.

Well, like I said: I'm saying that nothing can be gained from researching pokemon's attributes, because said attributes can't be scientifically replicated. This is because pokemon don't use science, they use whatever magic Exist gave them. They have to be, cause what they're doing sure ain't science. And for all intents and purposes, I really don't think science can replicate magic. Copy its effects, yes, but what works for pokemon won't work for humans.

It'd be pretty retarded if it did. Cause Exist specifically gave pokemon those powers because humans with their technology were screwing over nature. If humans were capable of copying those powers, all exist would have done was delay them for a few centuries, and in the process given them the means to advance technology far, far further than it would have gone had Exist not interfered. So yeah, it'd be pretty stupid.

Oh, and I just saw this:

No fuck you I'm not going to muddle through that clusterfuck again just to see if Impact does or doesn't get to lead in the final mission.

I WILL say that I don't remember anything even remotely like that ever coming up.

It was in the final fucking deal. If you make me look it up for you, that'll make another 2%.

Edit:
Only just realized that Drac actually posted before me.

Electrode power for every city!

If not for electrode, humans would have had to look for alternate sources. Wind, solar maybe, both of which would have created lots of jobs for electrical engineers, which then would have further benefited electronical development in general. Or even nuclear, which would've motivated research into theoretical physics, and could have been used for a huge variety of other tasks, from power spaceships, to powering airships.

As for the wild pokemon, fair enough. But that's pretty much the only way I can think of that they've benefited society, instead of held it back. And if the only way something benefits society is by killing other things, there has to be a way to replace it.

Nah, he'd start a space program after Impact is defeated.

Allright, how about "No". Just... "No".

So, let's see. Magatama give powers according to a person's personality or whatever, correct? So everyone would be special in their own way, which means no one would be special.

Yes, only at the moment people's "special"-ness stems from their mental ability, their physical ability and their personality. Add "supernatural powers" to that equation and you've got one hell of a clustfuck. Seriously, even if everyone has them, it'd be horrible.
