So, the Austria-Hungarian Empire continued to develop its weapons, the Americans tried to make advances to counteract the powerful new tools, including attempting to refine the flying machine created by the Wright brothers, and even the Japanese got into the act, as they happened to actually have adapted the steam powered robots for their own use, and done rather well with them.
At the time, Tesla did have a certain... distraction from the war as it started to show just how grinding a time it would be.
His 'problem' came from his 'pokemon', though not exactly in quite the problem that one might have thought. They were actually working out superbly, as they started to show signs of being useful rather quickly. For all the controversy surrounding them, there wasn't too much of a difficulty in getting people to accept them when they could both help in the field, and protect one's family from brutal treatment by soldiers intruding on that same land.
However, one part did cause some... issues to come up, and it was connected to the 'evolution' problem. Some people decried the pokemon in part because they actually had visible evolutions, so that when one's 'cute birdie' turned into a 'cool and big bird', it became something of an issue for them. Yet, the big thing was still to come, as no one had known to expect a particularly big development.
Even if this had been going on almost a century later, the scientists of the age would have not been fully able to understand just how to arrange DNA to create viable living creatures. Doing so just before the 'Great War' started, meant that they were working on a great deal in the dark. Given what Tesla had to work with, he'd done well to create what he did.
Yet, they were not exactly perfect. No one knew why, especially when the first cases were reported, but it turned out that these creatures were actually evolving into humanoid forms. There were theories as to why that was the case, from God imposing his will onto the work of man, the Devil trying to show up the will of God, and the simple fact that, given that they were made to have emotional bonds with humans, they were trying to connect even more.
It kept happening though, and they quickly came to realize that these feminine pokemon, in addition to proving just how good they were, happened to be rather attached to the humans that they served, so long as they had reason to. Apparently, the design element that had placed a pokemon's loyalty on to someone that they cared about was resulting in these pokemon girls needing affection, love, and cuddling. One might have thought it weird to have creatures that could either carry mountains of equipment, or use that strength to protect their lives need to snuggle, but there it was.
And as the war started to settle in to the grueling mess that would symbolize it afterwards, things were a bit chaotic since:
