That's like asking who believes in Santa or the tooth fairy.
Sorry to burst your bubble guys (and gals), they ARE real...in a way.
Pokemon (or pocket monsters) were created/thought of by Satoshi Tajiri (hope the spellings right) after he remembered of a time when he collected bugs. Giving this theory then, the bugs and like which satoshi collected are the same as Pokemon of satoshi's (pikachu and such) - in a wierd a$$ philisophical way.
Not only that, Pokemon are designed on real life creatures (pikachu - electric mouse, phanby - elephant, mareep - sheep), so also in a way we live in a world that is surrounded by "pokemon".
Well, no. Satoshi created Pokemon because of the memory of bug collection. While that may be true, it was never stated that Pokemon (the characters themselves) were based off of his bugs in his collection. Only the storyline concept of capturing and training different creatures came from the element of bug collection. In what way are the Pokemon the same as Satoshi's bugs? I mean, Pokemon are based on different animals and objects of the world, definitely not just bugs.Sorry to burst your bubble guys (and gals), they ARE real...in a way.

As much as I would like for Pokemon to exist physically, its almost impossible for them to exist in this universe in the flesh/blood/living rock/living metal/yada yada yada sense. However, They may not be "real" but they still "exist".A few pokemon could theoratically be "made" to truly exist in the flesh, but not with the amazing abilities we would like to see, it wouldv require much more technological advancement then we have, and would tread on many sensitive moral issues.
And for the younger people here that didn't really understand all I said, In short theres a good chance pokemon ain't real in this universe. But boy do I wish they were.
