>>53972436Many people view Pokemon as more than mere pets because some of the most soulful, kino scenes involve Pokemon acting as more than just feral beasts or silly pet creatures.
If Tajiri doesn't like that, he's WRONG to feel that way. Don't forget that Tajiri is the one who wouldn't let Meowth talk in the games. In other words, he robbed the game timeline of a highly beloved character just because he personally only likes dialogue from humans. It's long been the case that the writers have a habit of only caring about humans and mostly pushing the Pokemon to the side, sometimes even handling them as if they're "objects". Just look at this quote from Shudo in picrel.
So yes, even the creators of the series can be wrong about things. If one of the creators of the franchise says "Pokemon are mere beasts", or they make one of the characters say it, they're wrong.
