>>28069681>if it can't talk I don't think it's consentSo, mute humans are not allowed to consent? What about those not capable of speaking your language? Do you realize how elementary and stupid that definition of consent is?
> hell even if they make the 'first move', it's an animal driven by instinctTime and time again we're shown, explicitly, that Pokemon are capable of not only understanding commands, but the general human language and interactions.
> if it makes 'advancements'I'll go full /mlp/ here: dolphins, monkeys, horses, and even dogs, are capable of demonstrating emotional connection beyond the simple "biological clock". On the other hand, animals are fully capable of demonstrating, quite violently, if they don't consent. Pokemon would be able to do the same if not worse damage.
>it's not sentientNow I know your opinion is not worth consideration. Sentience is the capacity to feel, perceive, or experience subjectively. Let's step into another fictional world, Star Trek. Thre three criteria for sentience defined by Starfleet is (a) intelligence, (b) self-awareness, and (c) consciousness.
>in the way humans areOkay, you've made a claim. Now support it. In what way is Pokemon sentience different from human sentience? Since I know you haven't cracked open an internets, let alone a book, I'll boil down your ignorance for you: the Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness, 7/7/2012, was the international scientific community's statement that animals do have sentience.
Pokemon are highly-evolved animals. If you do not believe they are sentient, you need to actually play the game, watch the anime, and set down Pokemon GO.
>Call me close mindedI'll just call you retarded. Someone as ignorant as you shouldn't be allowed to interact with Pokemon, let alone other humans whatsoever.
>I wanna keep the pokemon world safe.No, you want to keep the Pokemon world in the dark with whatever sheltered notion of "morality" you have.
