>>43189131Selective breeding seems like more of a battle thing than a contest thing, canonically you can just stuff anything with PokeBlocks/Poffins and they'll be fine. There's breeding for Egg Moves, but battles do that too.
It sort of is but not all dragons are rare or exclusive. The protag is usually middle class and they can become a dragon trainer though upper class have better access to dragons (Safari Zone, Game Corner).
I actually agree with the misgendering thing but I'm a massive libtard. Then again I bet people misgender their pets all the time and I don't think they mind. Can pokemon get dysphoria?
Is the goal of a trainer not to challenge gyms? They're a valid in the same way that a non-major league sports team is still a sports team. Plus, don't the vast majority of trainers not have badges?
This one's probably a joke about fairy being a new type but with Bede "coming out" we'll get more representation.
It's about as close to abuse as letting them battle in the first place.
I can buy that, though most fully evolved Dark pokemon are by definition brutal. They might be nicer if people treated them better though.
Kek, the Ho-Oh one is funny.
I don't think it's inherently bad to joke about deities but I'm a fedora. As long as you aren't being derisive or ignorant, it should be fine.
