When it comes to the few Pokemon who are explicitly stated as being as smart or smarter than humans, isn't keeping them in Pokeballs basically kidnapping and slavery?

No1 forces you to keep them in balls. Its just a game mechanic. Besides i don't see a correlation between intellect and slavery. Its ok to do it if they are stupid, is that it?

Is keeping a cat in your house for their whole life the same as keeping a person in your house for their whole life?

Pokemon love to battle. Its instinct. Also if I were an incredibly intelligent wild animal Id prefer getting free food and shelter in exchange for my battling service.

Dogs are domestic creatures that cannot survive without humans. They will die very quickly in the wild, most likely eaten by wild animals.

Pokemon are make believe creatures with contradictory backstories that are kept in pokeballs mostly for transportation purposes and are implied to be able to escape them at will, to not be under any stress while confined and to be entirely willing to travel alongside you like this.

Feral dog populations are incredibly successful and often outcompete local predators

Exactly, but no one likes to talk about the abused ones. Theyd run in a heartbeat if they could

I'm not so sure, dogs can be loyal to a fault
An abused dog may still see itself as part of the family structure

Don't feral dogs still tend to stay close to human settlements? They still differ in some basic ways from truly wild canids like wolves. The reliance on humans, even indirect, is still there.

Yes that's true but that is an adaptation rather than a lack of one.
If humans disappeared, I believe feral dog populations would spread and speciate. But who really knows?

It's like with wolves. In a pack there is usually an 'omega', literally being inferior and treated poorly and what not, yet it still finds its role worth having in the group.

This happened before when I started talking to some kind anons in a dinosaur thread here

There is far less shitposting when the topic is only tangentially related to the board, because there are less memes and shit

Wasn't that recently debunked as humans applying human hierarchy to wolves in the wild? IIRC most gray wolf packs are families comprised of mother, father and pups, where parents are the 'alphas' and pups argue amongst themselves. It was also stated that dominant and submissive behavior usually arose in unrelated wolves forced together in captivity but rarely in other circumstances.
