Lots of Pokemon are dangerous creatures, that's why it's not safe to get into tall grass or caves without a Pokemon or repels. It's good that the Pokedex shows that, though there are many entries fucked up.

Why is Mareanie such a meanie?
It's a bottom feeder. They tend to be nasty pieces of work.

Ignoring these Pokedex entries, the rest of the game's been on-par with the humor I'm used to only finding in the Mario RPG games. It's great.
Meanwhile pre-schoolers without dads are running around with these things.

You what
The idea of them being monsters is downplayed by the entire purpose of civilization in the Pokemon universe being centered around battling them.
Pre-schoolers running around with balls containing these things in their back pockets.
Absolutely no dying in any of the games. Only passing out and waking up in a Pokecenter.

A lot of people seem to have missed the memo that Pokemon is short hand for pocket monsters.
Read the subtext of every game... "tall grass is dangerous unless you have a Pokemon to protect you"... These things are scary, they are literally monsters and many are not afraid of man and view him just as edible as anything else.

That actually gets brought up two or three times during the story.
They're vicious towards Corsola.
Some more fun entries:
Gumshoos:
Crabominable:
It shoots its own pincers like a damn super robot.
Minior (Core)
>_> (That actually explains why its Catch Rate increases when the Core is exposed.)

Fuck. This. Thing.
Agreed. Can't wait to play Stars.

They certainly went darker with this game. Hell, the Ultra Beasts are basically Pokemons take on Lovecraft.
I'm nearly positive that this is their rather clever way of attempting to slowly phase out Mega Evolutions, and not bother creating new ones, at least not anytime soon.

I think it's since Pokemon by nature are kind of violent (I mean, they fight. A lot. Until they knock an opponent out), and as Pokemon are based on insect collecting initially, there's a lot of messed up insects out there. So Pokemon is kind of an extension of that. and some on the team maybe just like bringing dark stuff to Pokemon.
The thing that continuously confuses me is the whole "People turn into Pokemon when they die." There's a few Pokemon that have that as their description as "once being human, but turned into Pokemon," mostly ghost types. Like it'd be one thing if when a Pokemon dies it turns into a ghost-type Pokemon, but why do humans that die turn into Pokemon? What are Pokemon exactly?
(Also remember Sun/Moon introduces the idea that people eat Pokemon flatly, it'd been hinted at but now fully confirmed.)

I'd guess the idea is that pretty much any non-human creature is considered a Pokemon, so even human ghosts would fit there. In the earlier entries, there were references to real world animals as separate creatures, but with more and more Pokemon, they aren't necessary anymore.

You actually can find a lady visiting the grave of her husband with his Machamp carrying her. She says he was killed in an accident just as the Machamp was entering it's pokeball and couldn't save him, since then the Machamp has refused to enter it's pokeball and even threw it away. During this whole conversation the Machamp is crying out.
This game is fucking dark.

Pokemon has always been like this and I love it.
Fucking hell.
Oh gawd, that was creepy as fuck, especially since the entire convo happens as the Machamp is carrying her, so you're already weirded out before she even begins to speak.

The original manga was pretty dark, and again, there have been "dark" pokedex entries from the beginning. The only medium that's been super sanitized has been the anime.

Bewear takes the cake.
What's the context for this joke?
They gave the Megas dex entries, most involving the pokemon being thrown into a fit of violent rage

The pokedex is how the world actually is, Pokemon at the end of the day are animals who hunt and kill like everything else, the games themselves are the kid friendly version of it.

Haha I read those! They were crazy. But like what, are they going to give Mega Gardevoir some kind of yandere Pokedex entry or that it hates it's gown?
thank you. Very hard to do this on my phone
Np, I was curious to read through them all myself,

Mimikyu is a fine design that works with its in world explanation.
Bewear takes the cake.
oh my god lol
it's like they had instructions to make each pokedex entry relate to DEATH as much as humanly possible
Here's my attempt:
Bulbasaur: Its vines are powerful enough to pull down entire forests of trees. Many children have been accidentally strangled and killed by them.
