[Pokemon]How dangerous are Pokemon to the average human?

In the beginning of several of the games you're specifically told NOT to enter the tall grass until you have a Pokemon. In Ruby/Sapphire for example you have to save someone who is being attacked by pokemon.

Obviously, running into an Onix while mining, could be an issue.

But how bad are the less obvious pokemon? Are rattata spreaders of disease? Does Zigzagoon dig through trash cans for food? Has a Houndoor ever gotten rabies and bitten someone?

Pokemon demonstrate a great capacity for intelligence, and also live basic animal lives. They seem to be violent towards humans only when their animalism is threatened. They don't seems vengeful, with some exceptions.

On the other hand, their animalism makes them territorial, untrusting, and quick to attack. Perhaps that's due to fear more so than conscious decision-making.

Certainly, they are capable of great violence and destruction, if they used their powers that way.
