Do pokemon derserve equal rights? They're practically glorified slaves with intelligence that is slightly under, equal, or greater to humans.

Galar region mechanic where you can send any pokemon to hard labor camps so they work for exp, regardless if they're fit for the work or not.

Politics, land ownership, working for pay equal to that of a human that it doesn't have to be born to specialize in, going to school to become educated, ect.

Pokémon are strong enough to probably get away with abducting and enslaving humans if they felt like it. What are you gonna do to stop a fucking dragon from kidnapping you?

They seem happy being subservient to humans, but they probably derserve similar rights for their own protection from abuse anyway

Imagine you're a pokemon with a family that is dependant on you for food.
A trainer comes along and nearly knocks you out till you're about to pass out and catches you in one of these.
You can't even be angry because your hate is being reprogrammed by the ball.

>>39977931
They can be recalled instantly at any point, and just left in the ball or boxed until allowed to come out.

All the angry ones and hard to handle pokemon seem to just be ignored and boxed/not allowed to do things until they steadily warm up their trainer.

Even then, why aren't they allowed to pick their own trainer, fucked up brainwashing aside?

You have to catch them first, and Pokémon regularly escape their Pokéballs whenever they feel like it. If a wild or disobedient Pokémon wants to harm you, you're in danger.

Equal rights too humans? Yes and no. Most deserve similar rights to pets; freedom from abuse, right to life, freedom from neglect when captured, etc. Some Pokemon like legendaries and mythicals would have the legal protection of endangered species. In this case, they cannot be owned, captured. Etc.

Only Pokemon known to have intelligence relative or above human intelligence should be given equal rights under the law of any given state. Right to vote, "healthcare", etc.

I can't really think of any examples for or against your first bit so I'll just comment on the second bit

They kind of are allowed to pick their own trainer, aren't they? Lillie's Vulpix caught itself, and I'm (pretty) sure that's not the only time that's happened in Pokemon
At least, there's nothing stopping them from "asking" to have someone specific as their trainer, like with the Ninetales that liked Brock

Bruh, many legendary pokémon are superior to humans, Ho-Oh and Lugia are adored as deities, others could easily annihilate humanity, like Yveltal or Groudon, your problem is to think that "Pokémon" is only one thing, when is just a term that encompasses several things.

A machine that sucks the life force of all pokemon thus solving the slavery issue by totally eliminating them, then a global population cull via orbital bombardment by the same weapon that turned them to dust. The survivors are then free to build a better world! If you are interested in being one it'll only cost you 5,000,000 poke.

Dont forget You can power up your pokemon through them hating your guts, the move frustration exists.

If you consider meowth's ability to translate, and the characters that can understand pokemon cries all pokemon have weird human level language that is normally impossible for us to comprehend.
With proper education they could get eve smarter.

At bare minimum all pokemon with intelligence around the human range should be allowed to be released when they chose, long term boxing should be illegal.

All pokemon around human range intellect should NOT be considered "pets".

Yes. Happy, happy, happy.... right up until something more powerful convinces them otherwise (or just takes them over outright) and then suddenly shit turns into 28 Days Later only with Pokemon and they don't die after 28 days, you do since looking for food while surrounded by creatures with devastating super powers is suicide.

Pokeballs dont capture pokemon that cant consent unless they're like a fucked up team rocket style ball, why do you think you cant capture a pokemon after feinting it. Pokemon when going into battle with trainers in the game do that KNOWING what will go down and they choose whether to be caught or not. The pokeball CANNOT capture a pokemon who dont want to be captured. Tht's why you cant capture trainer's pokemon but why charmander became ash's mon for example. It's like saying doc luise captured little mac instead of being his trainer through consent. Pokeballs dont trap pokemon, they're a flawed way of bonding and making it easier to carry pokemon around, that's it. Pokemon can leave pokeballs when ever they want. At least thta's how it feels and comes off from how they depict this stuff in the media.
