Do you think Pokemon will exist as real things in the future?

It can only happen through a post-apocalyptic event in which all animals evolve into creatures that can control the elements + nature + technology.

This causes several urbanized areas to revert back to farmland/desert like Times Square into Unova's Route 4.

No, just no. I admit that real Pokemon may have been something I wanted as a kid, but that's because I never saw any drawbacks. Now I do.
There are some pretty dangerous wild pokemon. Some trainers also may not be able to control their pokemon. I would really enjoy it if I didn't have a huge Tyranitar trying to Hyper Beam the entire city to death.

It tosses its enemies around with agility. It uses all its limbs to fight in its own unique style.

Anyways we have more important things to worry about, like wars, space travel, and famine.

Maybe a thousand years from now on a remote planet in the deep reaches of space, people might make pokemon out of animals and release them on this planet- If anyone even remembers pokemon xD
Wanna see more?

It is extremely highly likely that we can make most pokemon in the somewhat near future but unlikely that we will actually create them (aside from futuristic Japanese zoos and insane, rich pokemon fans) due to the cost versus the functionality. Also, when these pokemon are created I predict they won't appear much at all like their digital/drawn counterparts because of the complexity needed for life and the fact that some of their proportions wouldn't be very effective for a living creature.

I still think animatronic Pokemon would be the best. Maybe of just the starters.

Extremely realistic, life-like counterparts of the starters. Small Pokemon that are generally cute, learn, eat, sleep, cry, love, etc.

Essentially, make the AI ever growing. Make their outside real enough so that you don't get the impression of the 'robot' that they are. No jerky, robotic movements, but all fluid animal like movements. Just watch a squirrel for a moment: they have so many sudden fluid movements, and they're fast as well.

I think this is the best idea. In my opinion, it's the most realistic, and still gives us the feeling of having a 'real' Pokemon.

What a strange article. I assumed when I clicked on it that you would be asking how awesome it would be, hypothetically, to have real-life Pokemon. And to answer that question, yes, hypothetically, it would be super-awesome, and slightly unnerving too - see arguments above for Tyranitar Hyper Beaming cities.

But will Pokemon ever actually exist?! Of course not. Unless it's in hologram form. I've always wondered how possible it is in theory to have a holodeck like in Star Trek. I think that'd be absolutely awesome.

I have no problem with the basic moral premise of humans "playing God" with genetics. The issue I have with the whole idea stems from to the inevitable side effects that would come along with creating these things - namely the suffering to the creatures themselves. I find it hard to imagine that one could invent something as biologically unsound as some of the pokémon without causing them constant physical pain. And even if the animal is one day perfected to the point where it can live happily, that wouldn't justify the anguish of its prototypes. Furthermore, while battling pokémon in the games is all in good fun, battling real creatures in the same way would be cruel. So, it's an interesting idea, but there's too much potential for suffering and mistreatment for it to be ethical. I would much prefer some sort of virtual world where we could raise and battle pokémon without worrying about this sort of thing.
