Google translates it as "You don't have to be a Pokémon," but I have a feeling that's not right.

@U53RN4M3 nah that's wrong. the meaning i provided is the right one. the proble is to understand weather it's two particles (even if and without) or a verb form (there aren't)

@Konicha605 That's why I stated that I didn't think it was right.

It is the なくても form of いない yeah

@DDonde thanks! how could i have distinguished this from いなく (without) + ても (even if), am i missing something?
DDonde · 31-35, M
@Konicha605 いなく is a form of いない as well.
Konicha605 · 22-25, F
@DDonde yeah thanks, that's what i thought. i looked up on the internet and it just translated it as "without" like if it was a particle
