GIJINKAS!
The ancestors of the Gijinka of today were created as tools of war, mere puppets for their masters. Over the years, the genetic makeup of Gijinkas have allowed them to blend more easily into modern day times. Ears, tails, and horns were shed, leaving a seemingly human appearance that could only fool an actual human. Just because they look human, however, does not mean that they are as harmless as they look. They still wield the powers of their Pokemon DNA. They can be a force to be reckoned with when angered, and they have grown to have minds of their own. The will to serve is still rooted deep within their brains, the remnant of their true meaning in life, that of servitude.
The general summary over, let's get down to the somewhat more in-depth explanation. Gijinkas seem the most human out of the hybrids created from the time of war. They have developed personality traits that make them their own person, rather than completely being defined by their Pokemon side. Despite this, their Pokemon sides are known to sometimes show through at times. Depending on their DNA, some can even lose complete control as their Pokemon side awakens an takes over, only for them to pass out after a rampage (such as a Gyarados Gijinka). Their hair and/or eyes reflect the DNA within them. Let's take that Gyarados example again. They would either have blue hair, red eyes, or both. In the rare chance that they are shiny (which must be purchased), they would have red hair. Many Gijinka still retain some other physical traits of their Pokemon DNA, though it is usually something small and easily concealed {sharp teeth, claws, retractable claws, inhuman flexibility (snake Gijinkas), slit pupils}. Oh, and they cannot evolve. What they are born as depends on the parents. A Charizard parent and a Salamence parent might make a child that is any of the six possible outcomes (Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Bagon, Shelgon, or Salamence).
The power of Gijinka depends on their Pokemon side. A Charmander would be able to control fire, though it would be weak in comparison to a Charmeleon or Charizard Gijinka. A Zubat Gijinka could produce screeching soundwaves, and let's not forget those sharp fangs that do, in fact, drink blood. A Ralts Gijinka would be able to teleport short distances while a Gardevoir would be able to teleport to different towns, yet both could read emotions and use telepathic communication. A Lunatone Gijinka would be able to levitate. A Gastly would be able to, if they focused hard enough, pass through solid objects. A Tyranitar could throw buses. It all depends on the Pokemon. If you need an example of what a certain Pokemon would be able to do, look at their Pokedex entries, look at their profiles on Bulbapedia, etc. When in doubt, PM Whimper!
You might have noticed that those were all about abilities of theirs, not moves. The Gijinka are not able to use actual moves of their Pokemon side, instead using the more or less raw powers they obtain through their Pokemon side's natural abilities. How powerful they can become depends on the Pokemon, how old they are, and how much time they actually train their skills. A ten year old Gyarados who plays around all the time will not be nearly as strong as a twenty-five year old Gyarados who spends at least a few hours training each week. Gijinka can battle, though it will be more heavily. Just follow weaknesses and be realistic. Gijinka VS Gijinka battles are better for them.
Now, let's move onto the 'fun facts' section! Gijinka are able to speak to the average Pokemon. Yes, that means that they can have long conversations with their Magikarp that make them seem like madmen and madwomen to the passing human trainer. They can communicate with any Pokemon, not just the Pokemon they have traveling with them. With this communication, they can also make various vocalizations of their Pokemon side, such as a feline Gijinka purring or hissing and a canine Gijinka growling or barking. Gijinkas are also allowed to befriend Pokemon so that they follow them around and battle with them like a captured Pokemon. Why only befriend, you ask? Well, you see, a Pokeball is a very dangerous object for a Gijinka. Because of their Pokemon DNA, they can be captured! It is a painful process as their human side tries to fight against it more than their Pokemon side, thus making a successful capture rather rare. When successfully captured, however, that little voice in the back of their head that they ignored for years, telling them to submit and obey, starts screaming at them, making them more willing to follow the orders of whoever captured them. Please note that a captured Gijinka will still have all their befriended Pokemon.

POKEMORPHS!
Pokemorphs are very similar to Gijinkas. They were created for war, only they looked more Pokemon than human. One might even call them anthromorphic when they were first created. However, they, too, have adapted in order to blend in more with society. Their Pokemon DNA is stronger than that of a Gijinka. While they have the faces and bodies of humans, many still retain scales, ears, tails, webbing, etc. of their Pokemon side. Some Pokemorphs still have the lower half of their ancestor's form due to the difficulties their family might have experienced with actually obtaining legs. This can typically be seen with snake and fish Pokemorphs.
Due to the stronger Pokemon DNA, Pokemorphs not only control the natural abilities of their Pokemon side but also the moves of said Pokemon. Yes, that means levels, glorious levels! Pokemorphs follow the same level up process as normal Pokemon. The power of their moves depends on their levels, and each Pokemorph can only know four moves at a time. They are also able to use Technical Machines on themselves, though it is painful just to do so because they more or less 'download and install' the move into their body. Just like a Gijinka, they cannot evolve, and what they come out as is the exact same. You must be wondering by now why they do not evolve. The answer is simple: the human DNA. It keeps them from going through the painful process of evolution. To evolve would basically mean completely reconstructing that person's genetic code, so to actually 'evolve', they would have to let a lab experiment on them for a couple of years.
Like Gijinka, they can communicate with every other Pokemon out there. They, too, can use the usual vocalizations of their Pokemon side, though they can often times do more than a Gijinka can, such as actually being able to communicate through those vocalizations. This is a great way for Pokemorphs to communicate with their Pokemon and to one another without humans understanding them. The same rules apply with Pokemorphs and befriending Pokemon along with Pokemorphs actually getting captured.
No Gijinka or Pokemorph can be a legendary without the head admin's approval.
