A very strangely awesome theory.

Or do you mean because Arceus was the first, that Mew cannot also be the first? If so, that's not a scientific impossibility, that's a logical impossibility. But only if the legends about Arceus are true.

No, it's more like a time wise problem. You see, Pokemon like Kabuto have been on their Earth for at least 300 million years. Mew is the first Pokemon so it's been on Earth longer then 300 million years and according to this guy humans have been on their Earth longer then that. Most species would have died off or evolved into another species by that point. Granted, some animals on our Earth haven't changed or died off but they usually live underwater or other places which haven't changed drastically over the course of millions of years.
And that brings up more problems like when exactly did animals show up relative to the time Pokemon showed up. Or if humans have been around for such long how come they aren't super advance. Well, they are advance but not as advanced as one civilization would become if given that much time. And whole other slew of questions but I think you get the point by now.

I would think that you can put anything (of reasonable size) into a Poké Ball, assuming it doesn't break free. This applies to humans too, but they probably added a safety feature so that humans don't accidentally capture other trainers or something, lol

You know, I always thought that item balls were just a representation of the item on the ground. Like how the lines that make up ledges are suppose to represent elevated ground or the books on the desk are suppose to represent Pokedexes. You know, they can't actually show you the real item because of the limitations of the console but you can imagine what it's suppose to look like. Because if what you were seeing was what was actually happening then an item ball would be roughly the size of a person.

My understanding of it was that, in the Pokemon world, Arceus created the world itself - like the physical trees, rocks, planet - and then all the Pokemon were descended from Mew.

Yeah, I really have no idea. But the phrase "item ball" was mentioned once, in Red / Blue / Yellow, so I must assume that they are in some ball-type container. That, and if it just represents the item, why not make it look like a treasure chest or something? Or changed it to a sprite of the item now that the DS no longer has such a limitation...

I was thinking of the exact same thing, but does that mean that all the theories of the evolution of man are untrue? Pokemon is one weird franchise...

Theres also the possibility of a meteorite containing microbes that would evolve into humans crashed on the pokemon world and over millions of years humans slowly formed

in bulbapedia it says humans and pokemons were once the same, then became divided

Humans evolved from early Primapes. They invented fire types and wielded key items. And humans evolved into Homo Trainerus and mastered the Pokemon of the land.
