But why would you have bazookas in the first place? just fire voltorbs at things so they self-destruct and since they survive, they're basically reusable bombs.
You use the gun instead of the Pokemon because the gun won’t refuse orders, need to eat or be trained up to level *checks* 26; it’s exactly as powerful as you need it as soon as it’s manufactured. Some regions don’t have a lot of Pokemon (Orre). Not sure how long it will take a Pokemon egg to hatch in this game but it’s probably longer then it would take to manufacture a gun.

Of course, Pokemon have the advantage that they can use a wide variety of attacks, which the gun can’t. They provide companionship. The regions that have them you can carry around a small army of Pokemon and no one bats an eye where a gun would draw negative attention. But there’s definitely a niche for guns.
