'Pokemon In Star Trek'. I wonder if they'd qualify as sentient beings since, you know, they're clearly intelligent and seemingly able to understand the human language just fine (at least in the anime). There are a lot of species in the Star Trek verse, I think the Pokémon will not be special, especially if the look like the movie Pokémon. Possibly. But that they're only able to pronounce syllables of their name for the most part might raise eyebrows across the Alpha Quadrant, not that it'd persist as a problem since universal translators are a thing.
Plus, I wonder if some Pokemon might opt for cybernetics that allow them to speak normally as well. They probably have that sort of technology in Star Trek, don't they?

'Bikini Bottom To OTL'. I wonder how scientists would like to discover that Spongebob & Company exist for real, not to mention Nickelodeon and, of course, the rest of the world.

I would guess Nickelodeon claims them as their own on the ground that they are creations of them and they own the rights to everything related to Spongebob & Company.

So what if Bikini Bottom refuses to acknowledge them as their owners?

How are these small strange looking creatures going to prevent from being claimed by a company that clearly can prove they made them.

How are these small strange looking creatures going to prevent from being claimed by a company that clearly can prove they made them. Well, I mean, Bikini Bottom would be located somewhere in the Pacific Ocean as well as probably treated as a sovereign state by the international community. So why would the US or what have you feel inclined to invade them if they don't consent to Nickelodeon owning them?

They are creatures from the sea, as far as everybody concerns, they have as much rights as every other animal i guess, we are not speaking about the lost city of Atlantis, but about a cartoon come to live.

Precisely. As both sea creatures and sentient beings, that's why Bikini Bottom would likely end up treated as a sovereign nation unto itself. And it's not their fault that they were sent to the real world either, so it'd be unfair to place them under the ownership of an animation studio that they don't consent to.

Wait so Bikini Bottom becomes a sovereign nation while countries who are struggling to become that are not, i do not think we going to see it happening, my guess it will be placed under UN protection.

Fair enough, UN protection it is I suppose. That said, I think that Bikini Bottom will nonetheless vie for acknowledgement as a sovereign entity in the future, even if they can't get it at the moment.

'Galactic Empire Clones Mewtwo'. That would mean they have found remains of him to clone him.

Perhaps that entails the Empire scouring the Pokemon world so that they could make the necessary discovery, as well. If Mewtwo follows in its OTL counterpart's footsteps and breaks free of the cloning facility holding it captive, then I wonder if the Imperial Military will be able to stop him.
Could the Rebellion play it smart and somehow take advantage of a Legendary Pokemon that hates it former captors, I wonder?
