>>23460325What if there are no Gardevoir in the wild due excessive hunting or environment destruction? At least in this world, if Gardevoir existed I would have no doubt that they would be enslaved and looked down, making marriage between these two a taboo. Sinnoh is a bit more liberal in that sense though.
So I think Gardevoir species have submitted themselves to humans in order to avoid being hunted down. That also would explain why Ralts in the wild are so scared about humans in general.
Plus that "loyalty to the end" thing they have with their trainers I think is more of humans exploiting that kind of protection instinct Gardevoir have with their children. Just imprinting they a subconscious picture by isolating they from their children would do the trick.
BUT they show signs to be quite adapted to human society. Gallade, at least, is stated to be quite fond of courtesy in his Dex entry; so maybe the theory isn't 100% certain.
Well, at least that's my headcanon.
>>23460464That's also plausible. But Gardevoir being in "Amorphous" egg group and not "Human-like" group is more thought food.
