>>39300428When transferring a pokémon their consciousness is mapped and then implanted into a perfect lab-grown clone of them. The problem is that this process doesn't erase the other one, the consciousness isn't "transferred" it is duplicated. You essentially duplicate your pokémon during a split second, they both exist at the same time, but to keep the illusion, you have to kill the previous one. Everytime you trade or transfer a pokémon, you're killing the actual pokémon you trained and loved. During the split-second it takes to duplicate and delete, your pokémon realises what is happening and his very last tought, his very last feel is one of fear, the sheer terror of realisation. I am left behind.
