>>46569192Just to reiterate: Not all Pokemon/Human relationships would fall into this category of "Sexual Grooming/Exploitation" If the Pokemon itself is not a Child, Teenager, or Vulnerable Adult Its PROBABLY not sexual grooming. The entire premise of sexual grooming is all about manipulation and eventually isolation of a person into a state where they feel they HAVE to do sexual things to a person who's been above them in terms of age or power. If they're thinking "I have to have sex with them, they're my Master/Trainer./If I don't do this they'll hurt me." or "Master/Trainer said it wouldn't be bad to do this, but I still have to keep it a secret." It's possible that they've been primed at a young or vulnerable stage in their life to feel that way about their Master/Trainer.
Its why if your treating a adult Pokemon with respect, equality, and they're truly free to make their own mature decision on this matter, its likely not grooming...Bigger issue arise with the societal outlooks and Pokeball's depending on the relationship, but that's another problem entirely.
