>>54888591Consent is irrelevant in this context. A Pokémon is not a person for you to romance, verily indeed that's not the sphere they occupy. A Pokémon as constructed in the series is a cute, magical critter, a pet in the domestic sphere.
Verily so, GameFreak, Satoshi Tajiri and The Pokémon Company have all said as much. Tajiri's vision of Pokémon as creatures is one that aligns with a cute cat or dog in the real world and that's something he illustrated in his own biography and in his own words back in the 90s. A Pokémon is a friend and the relationship between people and Pokémon should be seen as one of a friendly pet and owner. The series goes though great lengths to depict this dynamic in the way people treat Pokémon in the games and anime and the way the player character does as well.
With this context in mind it's pretty clear that this inanity over consent was never the issue but the simple fact that pokegroomers have inane groomer fantasies over cute, magical pets. In short, stop sexualizing Pokémon.
