Some people do, it just most of the instances of guns got pulled outside of Japan. Off the top of my head, there's an episode when you meet poachers who have guns and are hunting taurus (this is apparently how ash gets the fuckton of taurus you see when he returns back to pallet town towards the end of the first season, a moment in which I couldn't have been the only child going wtf?). There's an episode where a dude pulls a gun on ash (don't know why), and there's an episode that wasn't pulled where the growlithe from nurse jenny are chasing a burglar with a gun.White Lightning said:I'm with this guy, I never understood why no one has a gun in Pokemon. I mean, I don't know about you but the idea of living with creatures that have the ability to summon lightning and what not is a little disturbing.the abyss gazes also said:Carry around a big gun because I don't know why anyone doesn't in Pokeworld. Training a pokemon might be cool and all but relying on them to prevent pokemon attacks seems silly when one could put down dangerous pokemon with a well placed bullet.
Edit: Forgot to mention what I'd do. Probably crime, that is associated with some huge giant corporation I run. You know like a team rocket that doesn't suck.
