    What would it be like if there were wars in the Pokemon world...I mean everything is always so peaceful.
     
    If war were to occur in the pokemon world, then everything would go into chaos. Here's what I think would happen, based somewhat on a fanfic I attempted to make.

    The pokemon league would shut down, as they wouldn't have the time or recourses to have it function. Every trainer would be drafted no matter how old they are, and the people left behind would be worried. Team Rocket would take advantage of this by selling powerful weapons and/or pokemon to the nations at war, and gain money from it. As a result, the economy would start to plummet, and the country would go into poverty.

    The innocense for the children would be lost, and both nations would be nearly destroyed, no matter the outcome, allowing a third region to take control easily, and expand it's borders. With the amount of power in the new region, they would go around assimilating other countries until they are beaten or they rule the world..

    That's what I think would happen. But I don't think you'll see it any time outside of fanfiction or pokemon hacks anytime soon.
     
    There has been war, hence Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Also, Lt. Surge claims to be a U.S. War Vet. There is war. And it obviously doesn't make that big of a difference.
     
    If there were wars between the regions, I'm sure they'd be fought by (or at least they'd be fought with the help of) Pokemon. Pokemon are constantly being trained to improve their battling by trainers all around the world, and I'm sure that they'd be some of the greatest weapons.

    There seems to be some really unique and futuristic types of technology though in the Pokemon world (ie. the video phones, the Poke hospitals, the flying machine Lawrence used to capture the legendary birds in Pokemon 2000, etc.), so naturally, there would probably be advanced forms of weaponry (if we're looking at this realistically and not "kidding it down").
     
    Funny thing. I've still got a fic in mind that does revolve around a war between the Kanto and Johto regions, but more like a Civil War kind of thing to parallell with the US' Civil War. Anyway, if there were a war in the world of Pokemon, I can only imagine that it'd be chaos, especially with fire Pokemon. That's a destroyer right there. No need for war guns when you have natural flamethrowers.

    Ironically, I had a fanfic like that in mind, however it's about Sinnoh going to war with other countries because of... well, that's a secret.

    And as an add-on to my earlier rant, let's not forget about the Evil Teams, sans Rocket. Teams Aqua and Magma would go on with their own gang-war in Sinnoh, hurting that country even more, causing them to have to focus on two threats at once. As long as Magma and Aqua are in existance, Hoenn would be the weakest country in the war.

    Sinnoh, while they have Galactic, they also seem to have the most advanced technology, as well as many powerful pokemon on their side. Sure, they'd have to focus on Galactic a little, but I don't think they would interfere with the war, as that would be perfect to collect energy from.

    Orre... well Cipher already messed it up, along with Snagem and the natural crime rates, so not much would change... NEXT!

    About Almia and Fiore: Well, I don't know about their evil teams, so I couldn't say.

    However, with pokemon that can burn down cities, bring up Tsunamis, strike opponents down with Thunderstorms and Blizzards, the world would be screwed over.
     
    Wow I didn't think so many people would respond thanks for the answers.
     
    This is a rather thought-provoking thread. XD

    Yeah, like mentioned before, trainers, especially those with ties to the Pokemon League would be drafted into the army to have their pokemon fight in the war. I'm fairly certain that manufacturers of weaponry would benefit greatly monetarily, and from what I can tell, the only people that manufacture or even use weapons regularly would be the villainous teams of each region. I'm assuming that, like in the real world, big government focused on winning a war will undeniably turn to these shadowy groups for their aid in the form of their weaponry.

    Come to think of it, political power is a topic that's rarely spoken of in the Pokemon games, which makes me wonder where the political center of the Pokemon World is, and if all the known regions are unified politically or only a loose confederation where one region has the right t oattack another if they want more territory....

    hmm...
