>>44038897>gardevoir don't form societiesThat is untrue, the anime has shown that pokemon make and form their own societies and cultures among themselves. And if Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is believed they build their own communities as well.
> they can only evolve after having bonded with a humanThis is also untrue, Pokemon evolve normally by leveling/experience. There are wild gardevoirs for example and would be capable of managing themselves.
>monkies, elephants, dolphins, pigs, dogs A big difference between a Gardevoir and these common animals is that its capable of active communication and greater understanding of the world around it. A talking dog doesn't exist, but a telepathic Gardevoir who lives among humans could. Its highly sapient unlike the animals listed there.
I feel like when it comes to the whole "Pokemon are animals" debate, just look at meowth or mewtwo. Those are entities that are very independent and extremely human even though they are just Pokemon. A gardevoir that is similar would not surprise me.
