[@philipschroeder675]

My hypothesis on this has been that there's a two way connection between Pokemon and trainer. We see this somewhat in the games and in the anime, especially with Ash Greninja. This bond creates a positive feedback loop, making Pokemon and trainers behind more linked by similarity and empathy thus making them likely to bond with similar Pokemon thus deepening the effect of the bond. Most trainers, having diverse typings in their team, mitigate this effect; however, monotype trainers seem to always gain some qualities of their type. The human form has its limits: we will never breath fire, but we can become resistant to heat and burning (like many mono fire trainers are). Becoming expert fighters or even psychics may be more within the grasp of humans, thus the effects on form and ability are much more pronounced.

"what else could they be" Defined primarily by their High Intelligence, which is associated with psychic types (alakazam, metagross, oranguru, etc.), not to mention some of them are literally telekinetic. Decidedly Psychic. And some have martial arts capabilities equal to fighting type pokemon, and can even see and manipulate aura/chi/"Focus" (a fighting type thing). I'd say Psychic/Fighting, and just most are too low leveled to have learned any moves. Though you could make the case for Normal/Psychic with fighting moves. That said, since most psychic ability seems to be from birth and not really something you can train, I'd guess the human level up movepool is distinctly lacking in psychic moves despite the typing, they're all egg moves instead. But the other types, we don't see them ever do any of the relevant innate elemental manipulation. Hex Maniacs aren't throwing out shadowballs, punks aren't throwing any darkpulses, swimmers can't shoot water, so on and so forth. They're quite susceptible to Ghost and Fairy effects certainly, possession and bewitching, etc. But they never command them themselves. Which hey, if they were Fighting/Psychic, that would make perfect sense, those plus Flying are it's weaknesses.

Rather, skilled, focused, and measured blows utilizing various techniques typical of the fighting type are what turn humans into capable fighters without the use of tools.

Humans are made up of mostly water, but that doesn't make us water type. We can also swim in the water for long periods of time and we're resistant. A Komodo dragon has poisonous saliva to a lot of different animals, but that doesn't make it a poison type. It just happens to have an attribute of poison. That's the entire point of pokemon. A Charmander is not inherently fire, because fire is a specific thing. It has some type of ethereal flame and flame bag inside of its stomach that acts like fire. You can see this because there are many Pokemon that are a type but they're not actually that thing. Like you have Pokemon that have a ghost type but they're not a ghost. You have Pokemon that are water type but are not water at all.. like the kubfus evolve form is it made of water. But then you would use that argument to say well that is its secondary typing so it's just an attribute of himself. But it's not even an attribute of himself he just moves like the waves it's a metaphor. Like Magnemite is metal by nature. More so than it is electricity because it's not a big electrical ball.. it's a literal conglomerate of metal and magnetism. But all of this can be seen clearly by any Pokemon that's a normal type. What does that even mean. What it means is that the Pokemon doesn't have any attribute that could it be compared to one of these vague elements. The more more you look at pokémon the more you will understand none of them are actually the type that they are. Because charmander's not made out of fire, squirtle's not made out of water. These are just attributes that they use

The fairy type adaptation actually makes sense with old mythology surrounding the Fey who would kidnap human infants and raise them as their own. When returned to their birth parents they would have strange and magical abilities and personalities like those of the faeries that raised them

[@angeldude101]

Science and understanding of the human mind have advanced since then. It turns out that those strange personalities still happen in some people, and it's been noted that they're determined at birth rather than after some time, though they can sometimes become apparent only after a few months. We generally no longer call such people faeries, but it does still happen sometimes to try and explain their differences, along with other inhuman descriptors like robots or aliens. Despite that, there is a more generally accepted term used to refer to these people nowadays. I am one of these people. The people that were once called faeries are now more often called neurodivergent. Even outside of the descriptions of changelings matching various mental disabilities, particularly autism, there is a scary amount of overlap with fae traits in general. The part about aging slower does have a grain of truth to it, though we don't talk about it much due to often being infantilized. While age-related behaviours can be all over the place, I have personally experienced a case of being mistaken for being about 3 years younger than I really am when trying to get into a pub. There's a bunch of other stuff, but I have to stop writing this comment eventually and not overwhelm you. With this in mind, some people on the spectrum have started identifying as faeries themselves since, in a matter of speaking, they're not wrong. This should be done with extreme caution though since the fates of those labeled as changelings were almost never pretty. They usually ended up with the person in question dead in the name of protecting the family or village from evil spirits.

Training certain types of Pokémon definitely affects Trainers’ appearances. Besides Fairy trainers having sparkly eyes, some Dragon trainers (namely Raihan) have fangs and some Dark trainers (such as Piers) are very pale. I’ve also noticed that Trainers often have hair and eye colors that fit their preferred type. Are humans with these hair/eye colors naturally proficient with these types? Perhaps mastering a certain type affects your genetics and grants your offspring innate type proficiency as well as certain physical traits. This would explain why Koga’s daughter Janine has purple hair and eyes when Koga has neither.

[@Cretaal]

Psychic is sometimes driven by intelligence, like in the case of Alakazam's original text where he was a kid with godly IQ. More to say, it's all mental, either innate born instinct, intelligence, calmness of mind, certain martial artists could become psychic fighting types. Maybe that's what aura is all about, your natural attunement to your other senses that some might call supernatural. Think of being able to sense an incoming attack you can't see because you sense it. I'd also argue that you don't BECOME steel type with armor and sword, but you DO gain certain passives that reduce damage in vein with steel types, and you are able to use cut with a steel typing to it with all the same weaknesses. Would if you train in that every day? Say, two swords and training with a scyther to learn its moveset on a steel typing with enhanced damage. Would you eventually become steel type yourself? If you were able to move yourself about like a psychic type and learn their abilities, you could become something monstrous as a trainer... Oh god... imagine what Red can do without pokemon... Edit: On Abra, Kadabra and Alakazam I think I know why the kid didn't become Abra. The kid awoke to become that. Had he remained asleep, maybe he'd have become abra. Abra seems to be the sleeping, dormant potential, Kadabra the awakening and Alakazam the mastery of said awakening. From ignorance, to natural potential, to honed and realized knowledge.

Maybe they just don't have access to the same level of energy as the Pokemon do, so these "Type behaviors" manifest themselves as just individual weird human quirks.

[@ThePeskyBug]

Actually, I think Aura kinda makes things make sense. I've always thought of Aura as 'mana' or 'chakra' or 'ki' or whatever you prefer. Pokemon just have the innate ability to control their Aura and bend it to a certain type. Lucario is able to use it in its pure form (like Rasengan or Kamehameha). Humans were said to have lived side by side with the Pokemon, so maybe they had the ability to use Aura and have 'types', too, but started developing tools and didn't need magic anymore. Psychics may simply be the types of people who are more open to a different way of thinking and are able to unlock the powers of olde, or maybe Psychic resonates closest to Humans which is why some are already born with these abilities. And people like Riley guard the secrets of Aura.

Other possibility? An abra slept for most of it's life while reading the minds of a nearby human in it's sleep. Then one day, that abra evolved, and it just happened to have more human memories (copied human memories) than it did abra memories, because there's just more happening in an awake human's life than there is in an abra's sleeping life. This new kadabra then assumed it must have been a human, as that's what it's memories are telling it, and just woke up one day as a kadabra. ... the only hole in this theory is that they are called "Abra, kadabra, Alakazam" the literal magic words for a showman magician. And one of the proven methods to turn a human into a pokemon was for a spellcaster to use a magical spell that zaps the target into being a pokemon. So it's equally likely that some kid was playing around with an old magic book and said the wrong words.
