>>36495399>You think other people will automatically agree with you?If people knew what was good for the world, they would agree to find less violent solutions to their problems.
That being said, when it comes to more nuanced views not regarding violence, I care much less if people disagree with me.
>Another thing I've learned is despite my adherence to logic, a massive load of people won't listen to logic at all, nor can be taught logic because they'll just ignore itBut I will still try.
>It's impossibleNothing is impossible when we all work together as friends.
>>36495420>Pokémon are powerful, intelligent creaturesThis is true, which is why they deserve our respect.
>Blanketing every single Trainer as a slave driver is ridiculously obtuse.I would never say this. I know many trainers deeply care for their Pokemon. But there are always the bad ones, and that's who I take issue with here.
>Pokémon battling has always been consistently treated as something similar to real life sporting events, most similar to boxing. To think that all Trainer-Pokémon relationships are those of slavery, tools, cockfighting, would be equivalent to saying the same for Coach-Boxer, Teacher-Student, etc. relationshipsI understand this. But you must understand that they are also used as tools of war, tools to conquer and subjugate others.
Promoting a violent culture will always net you these downsides. Because you show people that might=right. You show them that violence IS the solution.
>Moreover, battles are both natural and necessary for a Pokémon's healthy growth,Sometimes I feel that this is not the case. With trainers who only want their Pokemon to evolve so they become more effective in battle. Not because they care about that Pokemons growth as an individual.
>denying them that because you can't wrap your head around the concept of friendly competition I would never deny a Pokemon it's evolution. Evolution is part of growth for Pokemon.
