Who needs guns and tanks when you’ve got a dog the size of a horse that can run at 258 mph and breathe fire? And he’s biddable enough to be commanded by a ten year old.

    Both sides of every conflict would use them. Every military would have divisions dedicated to a particular fighting’s style and they would have a mix of pokemons to match the purpose.

    Reminders when every army still relied on horses? Exactly like that, but with pokemons.

      Perhaps trainers who were fond of a particular type would all rally around one remarkably killed leader of some kind.

      They might, one supposes, form organizations in which they all trained together for the promotion of their interests.

      What would they call such a facility? Perhaps a gymnasium, given that facilities of that name are already used for training human bodies.

      I’d imagine any particular region could support 8 of them. Not sure where I got that number, just pulling it out of nowhere.
