>>44944608>If they commit crime, the one being prosecuted first will be their human, and a wild one will either be put down or kept for a checkup to explore why they did it in the first place I get what you mean, but there are a lot of Pokemon that 'commit crimes' by our standards despite it being a core part of how they interact.
For example, Smeargle live mostly in urban areas, and use their paints to communicate with one another as well as mark their territory. So while it would be considered vandalism for a human to do what they do, painting on shit is actually an important part of Smeargle biology and sociology.
I mean, IRL they'd be considered pests and would get sent to pounds like wild dogs and relocated at best, but the Pokemon world is a lot nicer than our one.
