Code:
mob
    pokemon
        density= 1
        icon = 'pokemons.dmi'
        icon_state = "Charmander"
        playertype = "Pokemon"
obj
    Pokeball
        name = "Pokeball"
        icon = 'items.dmi'
        icon_state = "pokeball"
        density = 1

        Bump(var/mob/M in oview(8))
            if(M.playertype == "Pokemon")
                oview(8) << "<b>[usr] has caught [M]!"
                del(src)
            if(istype(M,/mob))
                del(src)
            if(istype(M,/turf))
                del(src)
            if(istype(M,/obj))
                del(src)

mob
    verb
        Throw_Pokeball()
            if(usr.ballcount <= 0)
                usr << "<b>Your out of pokeballs!"
            else
                var/C = new/obj/Pokeball
                oview(8) << "<b>[usr]: Go Pokeball!"
                C:loc = locate(usr.x,usr.y,usr.z)
                C:owner = usr
                usr.ballcount -= 1
                C:dir = usr.dir
                walk(C,dir)


Problem description: Well right now im just trying to make my catching system as simple as possible at the moment and when I throw the pokeball at charmander it wont say [usr]: Go Pokeball! or catch the charmander it will just hit the charmander and delete itself

The pokeball deleting itself is due to the fact your telling it to... 4 times... Go figure.

            if(M.playertype == "Pokemon")
                oview(8) << "<b>[usr] has caught [M]!"
                del(src)
            if(istype(M,/mob))
                del(src)
            if(istype(M,/turf))
                del(src)
            if(istype(M,/obj))
                del(src)


As for the [usr] thing. Change the line :

oview(8) << "<b>[usr]: Go Pokeball!"


to

view(8) << "<b>[usr]: Go Pokeball!"

There is certainly a lot you're doing wrong here.

One thing of note is that you should not be using : at all in the Throw_Pokeball verb. To get around this you should be doing var/obj/pokeball/C = new. Also instead of doing C:loc = locate(usr.x,usr.y,usr.z) you could just do C.loc = usr.loc.

OK I did what both of you said and it reconizes the Charmander as a Pokemon but it won't say [usr] has caught [M] now and I changed the verbs like you said and I got these errors

Catching System.dm:36:error: C.loc: undefined type: C.loc
Catching System.dm:37:error: C.owner: undefined type: C.owner

Since no one really helped you.. here:

Bump(var/mob/M in oview(8)) // this is wrong

// I think creating a Bumped() proc would be simpler.

mob/pokemon/Bumped(atom/movable/M)
 if(M is a pokeball) // if the thing that bumped into you is a pokeball...
  catch me...
