Illiterate

Literacy is a luxury for all pokemons, this saying comes from a time when literacy was kept to a select few mons, often taught by the current human hero and spread through their inner circle of mons. While now most nobles and guilders are able to read and write, the central concept of how this world works still holds true. Humans lay down the framework for what the world is to be, and we simply follow it.

All life shaping ideas have historically come from humans; farming, iron, and yes, even the written word. One can argue humans have given us more than the three gods, or even Arceus above it all. Not only coming to solve the crisis, but laying down what pokemon's life will look like for generations to come. These acts have certainly earned them worship in the same tier as our gods. Many still hold out hope that one will come to save us.
