>>52696729Pokemon are basically portrayed as sapient creatures with agency pretty frequently.
Parroting and abiding by some corporate guideline that says "they're beasts lmao", WHEN you remember to, isn't effortful. They're a very lazy company. They've failed to portray Pokemon correctly, and they'll continue to fail because it doesn't matter, people will buy either way. Now half the fanbase thinks Pokemon are supposed to be sapient creatures. They failed.
