>>47106112People abandon Pokemon for the silliest reasons in this franchise and often in a cruel manner. Charmander was lied to, tricked and left to die, a guy tricked his Gengar to stay in a single spot for 3 years, a mining colony abandoned their group of psychic Pokemon for some undisclosed reason, etc.
It wouldn't surprise me that people would be petty enough would abandon their Pokemon due to their gender. And especially if the fucks from here were ever transplanted in such scenarios, I could see them drowning them by the river for petty reasons.
>>47106013There's some NPCs that sell you Pokemon and of course there's trading Pokemon. I don't know if it's been seen in the anime but maybe they don't want to add them in the games. Either way I don't see why they shouldn't exist. If trading Pokemon is OK and breeding them exists as a job it's not a reach to say they're there.
