All this "your pokemon are your friends" are such bullshit. Friendship requires equal power relations which is impossible between pokemon and trainer, even with the nicest trainer in the world. It's a LIE, a lie to cover up the inconvenient truth to trivialize the unequal power dynamic between trainer and pokemon.
First of all, they don't consent to their trainers. Their entire automy is stripped away with their freedom tied to their trainer. They are ordered to carry out any task the trainers wish, whether it's blood sports, or some other utility like climbing rocks, lighting caves, or modes of transport. So basically, they are tools. Villain gangs might be bad people, but at least they're honest about treating their pokemon like tools. So yeah, they are correct, pokemon are tools not friends, because you don't exploit your friends or order them to do things that you want. The only thing worse than people that do bad things are people who do bad things that act righteous. That's literally every trainer in the pokemon world who are supposed to be "the good guys".
N was right, anyone that actually respected their pokemon would not hold them captive to be summoned at will. They are not familiars that signed a contract, they're just beings that were either forcefully abducted after minding their own business, or bred out of their natural habitat to fulfill the wishes of the humans in a life or servitude, like a slave.
There is no justice in the pokemon world.
END THE HYPOCRISY! POKEMON LIBERATION NOW!
Shup up harmonia
BRO GET A LIFE, THESE ARE FICTIONAL CREATURES
Pokémon Black / White 1/2 pretty much tells you that Pokémon only obey you because the Pokéball brainwashes them into being more friendly.
The whole point of BW is that everything Team Plasma is saying is bullshit. You can tell by the fact that it goes against what the franchise itself has told us since day 1.
Poke Balls don't do anything other than act as a method of transportation for Pokemon
bw2 retracts this, after realizing that it contradicted bw1's entire concept. see
What? No, BW tells you the exact opposite.
>iris
>a reliable source of lore and information
good one anon
Characters in fiction are never wrong, the writers wrote that dialogue for a reason.
That's Drayden talking.
So Hugh's sister Liepard didn't leave because it loved team plasma?
And why is it staying inside its pokeball if it's clearly not friendly towards her?
BW2 didn't retract anything, it just acknowledged that Pokemon can bond even to bad people, that was the whole point of the Plasma house.
>have a Charizard
>throw ball to summon it
>it doesn't like you
>picks up the ball and flies away
>the vast majority of people can never catch it again because of the anti-theft mechanisms
if this happens you can go to your pc and recall it manually
>because of the anti-theft mechanisms
Those are just other trainers, note every game says the other trainer swatted the ball away.
like this shit i guess. forgive me haven't play bw/bw2. shocking i know.
>Pokemon are NOT "freinds"
They are literally sex slaves
If Pokemon were real, my method of training would involve abuse rather then friendship.
>*tips fedora*
N stopped caring about pokemon when he got his dick wet like a true traitor
N is a cautionary tale about allowing your pure judgment to be clouded by lust and the pursuit of ass/pussy.
When you start thinking with the wrong head, you fail the people you ought to care the most about.
anyways i'd still frick him
The canon is that wild Pokemon battle you to determine if you're worthy to train them.
>using the anime as hard canon
That's not from THE anime, that's from the nu-anime with Liko and Roy
>anime
>canon
Pokemon are our wives.
>games say Pokemon can leave if they want to
>anime says Pokemon only get captured if they want to be
Wow, I can't believe a children's series isn't dark and edgy. They should make it more like that PETA parody game.
hi Ghetsis. still believe in this liberation thing 13 years later, eh?
I would only use a mindbreaking device on my Zoroark wife if there's a potential chance some homosexual would chuck a ball at her, possibly separating us forever. And only if she's okay with that beforehand
God isn't real
Free will isn't real either
Pokemon. Are. Not. Your. Friends.
They are just a bunch of glorified digital coding on a computer.
They. Are. Not. Real.
Stop being a bunch of babies
Men.
Cannot.
Be.
Babies.
that's where a Ditto comes in to help you both
If this is true then why did my Ninetales say yes when I proposed to her?
The Pokemon you see are the ones that want to fight. The vast majority stay hidden from humans.
They test your strength by using all of theirs to fight for their freedom. Reducing their health without causing them to faint shows not only wit as it was bested by equal strength, but also compassion as you showed it mercy.
You bestow upon them incomparable power through training and evolution that is unattainable in the wild, and in return they use that power on your behalf.
why cant i be friends with people where theres a large power differential? I mean if we like eachotehrs company it seems fine
Back to
with you. This board is for the superior human race ONLY.
So true. Like really. I've Always thought that since thé 4g with N, thé freedom about Pokémon question being asked for thé first Time for me.
Maybe moewss (idk in english thé Team Rocket's cat) is free, we always sée him out of pokeballs etc. Hé could juste walk away or even talk to his trainer about it. So he's either happy either vey well indotricated...
>Friendship requires equal power relations
Welp Johnny, I got that promotion.
Looks like we can't be friends anymore, OP wills it.
My partner Lucario evolved and got stronger from our friendship.
>tfw no lucario gf to huff your scent on your clothes
Please help me find that one CBT pic of a smug Sneasel/Weavile splitting a humans wiener into 2
Be quiet pokemarxist.
N only changed his mind because that's what the franchise needed. The enslavement of Pokemon HAS to be moral for the franchise to continue.
Gamefreak will never seriously tackle these issues because themes of animal liberation are fricking poison to the bottom line. Most people aren't interested in those types of stories, anyways.
>t. butthurt Weavile
Are you still mad because I Mach Punched your b***h ass last Friday?
They're not "freinds": they're actually FRIENDS. The ESL has become self-aware.
You're right, pokemon aren't friends, they're wives and mothers for your children.
Pokemon are friends with benefits
>First of all, they don't consent to their trainers.
Don't the pokeballs literally work like that? Hence they can break out?
>abducted after minding their own business
I was the one minding my own business. I was just walking through the grass and they attacked me.
