>>55648944>officializing Pokemon's legal status as tools rather than friends Fucking KEK, what the hell does "friend" entail as a legal title?
>can't own property>they can't own other Pokemon>they have no last names, no civil registry beyond their FUCKING TRAINER ID>definitely can't choose to "train" a human (b-but muh partnership goes both ways??)>no Pokemon politicians or Pokemon representatives—their safety is at the hands of HUMANS>even the most ancient and powerful of their kind are routinely outsmarted and captured by people>can trade hands, be bred, and their families separated at the whim of their HUMAN ownerPokemon are already tools. The Rockets are le bad guys because they're breaking HUMAN law and undermining the HUMAN government to make their money. What the fuck do you think the police response to "Marowak, mother to a Cubone, found dead at crime scene" would be compared to "Emelia Mcbride, 28, mother of 2, found dead at the scene of the crime."? A human life is, and will always be, worth infinitely more than a Pokemon's. This literally cannot he refuted.
