Pokemon started as mysterious phenomenon monsters that were wiping out local animal populations due to scientifically impossible powers that the low human population planet was reeling to deal with.
Originally only pokemon that habituated near humans grew intelligent, likely to lampshade a type of hyper aggressive and speedy evolutionary adaption trait.
Having them all essentially now have human intelligence and happily jumping into slave balls just to be frozen inside of PCs or catalogued is moronic.
The games tend to toe the line between pseudo sentient spirit beasts that are only barely manageable, but they're getting worse.
The lore won't get better because the franchise makes too much money to stop pulling in any specific direction, and too many people internally get a say in how it appears as a product.
What's written at the top is essentially a reductive explanation of a more long term idea of the eventual sentience and power of pokemon creating a pseudo rebellion from their position as a slave caste in a society that eats them and gives them verbal orders.
I'm sorry it upset you that the man that was in charge of a childs cartoon gave a childish explanation of a vague idea.
