>>54496492People here have fantasies involving cute lil creatures that occupy the space of pets. A Pokémon is a creature that should be cherish and seen as a form of magical pet. Verily so, traces of this philosophy are the foundations of the Pokémon series and part of it's success, the focus on friendly designs and imagining Pokémon as creatures akin to cats and dogs has helped the series have tremendous wide appeal which is why Tajiri was obsessed with that idea.
Instead people here would rather corrupt that innocence because dark thoughts cloud their minds. Instead of platonic relationships with a cute magical pet they imagine themselves grooming these cute and innocent critters to be their lovers, nevermind the dynamic at play here. It's honestly disheartening seeing this play out.
