Technology // What Are We Capable Of
ITEMS
Items such as Stamina Band, Choice Scarf, and Orbs are all created by pokemon. They're not just magicked into existence but are the results of pokemon searching for ways to gain an advantage over others in combat. These items are created by infusing the energy of a pokemon into an item while some items are simply boiled down to science. For example, Scope Lenses are like vision-enhancing glasses. They allow pokemon to see in greater detail and closer up (out of one eye, since the lens sprite clearly only has one lens and it would be hard to focus on it with both eyes).
Items such as Warp Seed and Reviver Seed are the products of plants that have been there as long as pokemon, though sometimes are the results of experimentation and manipulation of plant life. Usually, items with more negative side effects are the result of this such as Doom Seeds and Hunger Seed. These more natural items are used more for medical purposes usually rather than combat, but the potential is still there and used.
TECHNOLOGY
The closest pokemon have ever gotten to computers and machines were lost long ago with an ancient Elgyem and Beheeyem tribe's wipe out. Pokemon have very medieval and rudimentary technology. They like to rely on their energy to do things rather than making tools to do things for them, so the only real weapons that have come about are usually ones to assist their energy and empower it.
On a rare occasion, a pokemon may take up a weapon such as a staff or a spear to help them in battle along with armor to protect them. There is only so much steel and iron can do against the energy of a pokemon, so sometimes it's seen as a sign of weakness to take up weapons and armor. If a pokemon is skilled enough, a weapon can build off of their strength and energy and make them even more dangerous than before.
