With the exception of ones that have specifically been around humans for a sizeable part of their lives and a select few that are just naturally more intelligent, most are likely the Pokémon world's equivalent of animals just trying to survive with little else to think about.
As for the ones that are more organized, where do you think they learned to BE organized in the first place? That's right, us human beans. That explains why their little "businesses" function much like our own do. Without our glorious ingenuity and superior overall mental capacity for them to observe and mimic, they wouldn't be able to come up with such things or ideas in the first place.
The Pokémon is a trainer's property, so if it produces something, that by proxy makes whatever it produces the trainer's property. The Pokémon may be able to control something below it, such as an egg if the trainer allows it, but because the trainer is higher up in the hierarchy of ownership, what the trainer wants with the egg ultimately supersedes what the Pokémon wants. If a trainer takes your Pokémon without the use of legal documentation, then legal action can be pursued because property is being stolen. And don't bother with trying to integrate Pokémon into our society at the same level that working human adults function at. I'm no economist, but I'd almost guarantee that doing so would cause human unemployment rates to quickly rise, and eventually cause our society to implode.
Give it up, "anon". Humans aren't going to give Pokémon any more leeway than what they've already got. We'll always be the ones on top.
