>>50869179I at least understand pokémon are fictional creatures and as such are portrayed exactly how the franchise wishes to portray them (which if you followed the IP displays them more as non-human sentients, than real world animals).
You on the other hand discard EVERY bit of world-building and scenario-setting to screech they're the same as fido or secretariat in our world. Lemme ask you a question, when was the last time you saw an animal - octopus or otherwise, I'll be generous, being able to attend to a complex task such as picrel?
And no, humans don't count as you disingenuous retards ignore humans are animals when it suits yis.
