>more than simple basic pavlovian conditoningSo why the FUCK are pokemon allowed to be property? And why are they all fine with it? A universe where Pokemon are more than just cute, dumb lapdogs is bound to fall apart.
Pokemon are subservient ANIMALS with no higher aspiration beyond "obey master" or "survive" if they're in the wild. They may be a little more clever than dogs, sure, but they're in no way shape or form EVER on equal footing with humans, RARE exceptions being legendaries like Mewtwo or my bro Calyrex.
