>>18304429>As for the Pokémon themselves, well I have a really hard time believing they'd view it as anything more than special treatment.. unless the trainer tried something sexual. At that point i could really see the trainer/pokemon bond being strained. The Pokemon might run away or retaliate violently.That would depend on the pokemon. They're not all uncomprehending animals. I'd lay odds that particularly something like a Gothitelle would have the intuition to recognize something as a romantic/sexual advance and think "do i want this Y/N".
That's not to say that such a reaction would be off the table, considering that pokemon are shown to be individuals. Depending on the individual, and the circumstances of the individual, they might react favourably or they might react furiously. A pokemon like a Garchomp or something would probably tend more towards the negative reaction, I'd guess.
>If law enforcement found out, they'd probably be locked up.That part strikes me as more accurate, but I'd guess that different regions would have varying degrees of strictness/harshness or possibly even entirely different stances. Considering the distance between Kanto/Johto and Unova, it's not unreasonable to assume that the different regions would be run by different governments with different views.
