It is one of those thing to consider when thinking about the maturity of this game. The anime has always operated under slapstick cartoon logic, which considering we're literally playing as twisted experiments of an evil corporation, might be a bit too comedic for the tone we're going for. Then again, I'm kinda on the side of humans having some sort of innate durability just so we don't have to worry about dying if a fire type Pokémon breathes in our direction. But hey, I'm good for whatever.
