Everytime I see someone’s edgy theory about how capturing Pokémon is wrong, I remember that time in Sinnoh it was explicitly stated that Pokémon approach trainers specifically to engage in battle and how it’s implied multiple times throughout the series that Pokémon engage in battle and competitions for their own prestige and it’s just a symbiotic relationship that a respectful trainer gets a career for helping raise a powerful Pokémon while the Pokémon gets access to stronger opponents and more varied experiences than it ever would in its native habitat

Also in the first episode of the anime Ash asks why a wild pokemon is attacking Pikachu and his pokedex says that wild pokemon are often jealous of pokemon with trainers.

#keep your edgy shit away from my pokemon plz n thx

THIS IS CANON?! I DIDN’T ACTUALLY REALIZE IT WAS EXPLICIT CANON. YES. FINALLY. I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS SHIT FOR AGES BUT I DIDN’T ACTUALLY REALIZE THE GAMES *EXPLICITLY SAID IT* I’M SO HAPPY.

Never forget the legit reason for Pokemon fights is because Pokemon are actually Klingons.

Hell, in the new season, mimikyuu is so fucking jealous of pikachu that it joined team rocket just to beat the ever loving fuck out of the yellow rat.
