How literal do you think the Pokédex is?

I like to think that it's 90% literal. Either pokemon really is a much stronger hellscape (magcargo is hotter than our sun. who's to say their sun isn't much, much hotter?) or, the exaggerations are based on something real. (houndoom's flames lasting not forever, but a very, very long time?)

I'm not really of the camp of 'oh well some of this is 0% true' because...eh doesn't seem like fun. We find out new science things all the time, doesn't always mean the steps behind it are all for null- The discoveries are just newer/better now. That's what progress looks like.
