They are nothing more than tools.
You pick the good ones, you discard the bad ones, you make them fight for your personal glory and amusement, you put them in boxes for life, you imprison them for the sole purpose of collecting, you either reject hundreds of breeding failures or generate them artificially. You laugh at people who think otherwise, like the "proud of its power" Lucario anon or the cringe Heliolisk redditor.
The entire fanbase has proved me right.
