Objectively, every Pokemon is loved, despised, or looked down on. At the same time, a Pokemon that one might despise or hate first might eventually be loved, if someone gives that Pokemon a chance. I mean, I didn't think too much of Whismur at first, but having read some of its dex entries, I feel so horrible that it has to go through so much pain. Whismur has a lot in common with people on the autism spectrum, having hypersensitivity to touch and sound. I love Whismur more because as an autistic person I can resonate with what they go through. And it makes sense why Loudred and Exploud are extremely aggressive Pokemon; their sadness, pain, and misery of hating the sounds of their own voices and having to cry in their sleep makes them so irritable and sleep-deprived that they hate the world. A small, cute, unassuming Pokemon that was born with a "blessing" (having an extremely loud voice and sensitive hearing) was born with a "curse" too (combined, these two traits hurt Whismur emotionally). Every Whismur deserves to be loved. No, every Pokemon deserves to be loved.
Understand more of how a Pokemon behaves, thinks, and feels, and I feel like we can all appreciate every Pokemon just a bit more. We were given these damn Pokedexes for a reason, right? Why did Game Freak program a line of text into a game and change it up every so often? Why does it appear after we capture a Pokemon? It's a test. A true Pokemon Master, in my opinion, is someone who wants to actually complete the Pokedex to accumulate knowledge and use it to help every Pokemon species, not just to collect Pokemon. That's the real reason why Professor Oak and every professor since has assigned us this momentous task of catching them all. Learning to help others.
