I just don't get why doesn't it matter . for what it is Pokemon is a game and in some ways a form of art, and since many humans are interested in it deeply that means that it is important to them. I think it is important human knowledge, there is no need to be elitest about it.

Some pokemons are inspired in real world animals. Many people know the pokemon and not the animal.

They know about drowzee but not about the tapir.
